@OvercastFM Recently I’ve encountered an odd sorting issue with one of my podcast feeds. When sorting by Oldest to Newest by Podcast, not all episodes appear. Sorting by Newest to Oldest by Podcast does not have this issue, however.

@Pinboard Good luck. At a herbal tea shop in Sai Ying Pun, a non-Cantonese speaking friend of mine tried to order a tea for a cold (in English). Before he could even finish, the shop lady just yelled “No!” at him and walked away toward the back of the shop. 😂

@daringfireball @gruber There’s a long history of efforts in China to break dependence on foreign technology. This article has a good overview of efforts on the OS front: https://t.co/Jx4E6CaRVk

@ayhcheung @Comparativist Lawfare is a media campaign for US defense contractor industry. It is a network of intellectual produce fear mongering narrative to serve shareholder interests.

@BeijingPalmer Sounds about right. Given much of state media coverage yesterday, it seems like they were priming the pump for a victory.

[David @debuchan]

@Pinboard Not only that, but also too inept to prevent such foreign influence in its own territory.

[David @debuchan]

@KaiserKuo Typo? That seems wildly off the mark. Numbers I’ve seen in multiple reports for China in 2018 put the figure in the $US1.3+ trillion range

Pros — you asked for it. And it’s here.

The China Cultural Clash

https://t.co/4q7oajePr4

The NBA controversy in China highlights a culture clash that both tech companies and the U.S. government need to take to heart. Plus, why Tiktok being Chinese is increasingly a problem.

10 years ago today I walked out of Urumqi’s People’s Park onto an eerily empty street. Black SUVs w/ flashing lights rushed by. Something was wrong 1/
