<p>In China, Huawei is known for offering competitive salaries but also demands a lot from its employees. Many people tolerate the toxic work environment in exchange for financial benefits, particularly as they gradually improve their family's lifestyle with their rising income.<p>As a successful company, Huawei has also popularized the so-called "Wolf-like Spirit" among other Chinese firms.<p>The "Wolf-like Spirit" implies an expectation to work extremely hard and do whatever is necessary to achieve the company's goals.<p>One anecdote involves some Japanese customers who visited ZTE, a competitor of Huawei. To break the deals, Huawei allegedly sent individuals who pretended to be ZTE employees and entertained the customers with drinking and whoring for a week.<p>No one should trust a company like Huawei. Or any companies with deep CCP connection from China.</p>

<p>Good point.
Besides, there is no detailed guidebook on censorship in China.
Every organization (media, social media)  has to guess what the gov wants to censor.
As a result, every organization tends to overdo it. Because 1). you never know if you miss one target that should be censored and 2). What is OK today might not be OK tomorrow. 
Censorship in China is an art (or joke).</p>

<p>My background: I am getting a software engineer job where ML is part of the recommended skillset. I want to learn ML to help the product or company. How should I start?<p>I studied Economics and had some statistics knowledge. I also had several years of experience as a data analyst.<p>Every day I have about 1~1.5 hours. My new job starts in 1.5 months.<p>What is the best action I should take?<p>BTW, I don't mind paying for good content.</p>

<p>Chinese IP are not allowed to use ChatGPT.
Chinese credit card is not allowed for OpenAI API.<p>Source: my own experience.<p>What puzzles me most is the second restriction. My credit card is accepted by AWS, Google, and many other services. It is also accepted by many services which use Stripe to process payments.<p>But OpenAI refuses to take my money.</p>

<p>context: at Ti8's final, Team LGD played against Team OG. During the draft phase, OG players had some paper, which were statistics of LGD (I guess). 
Somnus the player said: Ceb is holding a bunch of paper. <a href="https://youtu.be/abEDXaPyIOE?t=15" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://youtu.be/abEDXaPyIOE?t=15</a>. 
In that final, LGD almost won but they lost at the end. That final is arguably the best final in Dota2 history.
The moment when Somuns taunted OG was captured by True Sight, which is a documentary for every TI final. LGD players surely watched the documentary or at least the clip many times.<p>The first clip you questioned about is from Ti9, a year after Ti8, where OG and LGD played again. 
Notail the player took a bunch of paper (way too many for drafting analysis purpose) to remind LGD their tragic loss last year. 
Hence the mind game. Btw, LGD lost again.</p>

<p>I pay $15 to $20 per session (around 45 ~ 60 mins), depending on teachers.<p>The problem with matching with someone already online is that it might not be the right person. There are tutors that are very good, helpful and inspiring. I don't think I want to talk to random person online. A long term relationship with several tutors are helpful because we know each other better and I'm more comfortable speaking in front of them.<p>So I would prefer AI > random someone</p>

<p>I use iTalki to find native speaker to practice with.<p>I say such app exists because I just read about Speak: <a href="https://www.speak.com/blog/speak-announces-27m-series-b-led-by-openai-startup-fund" rel="nofollow">https://www.speak.com/blog/speak-announces-27m-series-b-led-...</a><p>It's for studying English.<p>What I don't like about a real tutor is because it's expensive and I have to book in advance.
ChaptGPT is free and I can practice with it whenever I want. Besides, ChaptGPT is not a real human so I don't feel embaraced when I made stupid mistake.</p>

<p>Before ChatGPT I spent around 200 usd per month to practice German with German native speakers for 2 months.<p>Then I use ChatGPT to practice German and I am very happy about the experience. AI can't replace real human yet. But I'm already willing to practice with ChatGPT given my current use case and my budget. It's not 10x better, but 20x cheaper. From my experience, AI is not hype.<p>Imagine integrating a more fine tuned AI and text-to-speech feature to make a better AI teacher. Such an app already exists, I believe. I'm waiting for a German and Japanese one.</p>

<p>I want to solve the problem that it's difficult for people to predict the future with skin in the game.<p>My idea is to create a prediction market where people bet on REAL world events under REAL name with FAKE money. All predictions are public and we can rank every user's prediction ability in each category by his ROI.<p>I have created a MVP where people bet on cryptos: <a href="https://rankvestor.com/" rel="nofollow">https://rankvestor.com/</a>. I wanted to start with finantial market.<p>Now I have to stop this project because I am moving my family to Japan because I don't believe in the future of China. I have to work for a Japan company to keep my visa. In my spare time, I work on a Japanese study app that gives me some money every month.<p>BTW, if anyone likes this idea, feel free to take it and implement it :)</p>

<p>Can relate to this.<p>I have a child and is going to have another one this year. I have this crazy idea that is big if true but 99.9% it would fail. I would totally do it if I was without a family. This idea is VC type idea.<p>Now I am working on some idea that is 99% going to feed my family but it is boring as hell and no VC would look at it.</p>

<p>> no one will be going out of business just because their frontend isn't React<p>Yes.<p>But one is more likely to go out of business if their frontend is still using JQuery. It's harder to maintain and iterate, harder to recruite good engineers.<p>I would ask for more money if the company hiring me uses JQuery and doesn't use TypeScript/React. And if the company somehow hires me, I would be less productive because I can't use TypeScript and a modern framework.</p>

I get hired.<p>There are some luck involved. It turns out that my tech lead is not a good programmer. Maybe his lack of experitise is why he hired me. I don't know. But it helps to have working product and public codebase to show.<p>Wish you good luck!</p>

<p>What are the best open source TypeScript frontend and backend real world projects I can learn from?<p>I am a self-taught web developers and I haven't worked for any good companies. There are no seniors reviewing my code.<p>My code quality can be improved but I don't know how. Maybe reading some good codebase is a way out.<p>I use React in frontend and express in Backend. Do you know any good OSS projects that use those stacks?<p>Maybe I should read popular OSS frameworks instead of web app's source code? I am thinking of changing my job, so reading real web app's source code might be more relavant.<p>I am very thankful for any advices. And Happy New Year!</p>
