One of the best changes you can make in your life is to get up early and don’t procrastinate
Don’t put shit off till later, do it immediately
Procrastination is the key to failure
Avoid it at all costs
Israeli soldiers beat a Palestinian teenager in the West Bank until he fainted amidst his mother's screams for help. 🇵🇸💔
Don't normalize this,
Don't stop sharing this.
CNN will never show you this : An Israeli settler pointing a gun at a Palestinian farmer.
"This land is mine now. Get out. Never come back"
The farmer's family worked that land for generations.
The settler flew in from Eastern Europe.
Never mistake the suffering and curses that China had for blessings—it is at once breathtakingly ignorant and clownishly absurd.
1) Few nations have survived a technological blockade and sanctions initiated by the US, let alone turned the tables to catch up and prevail. Seen in that light, China is nothing short of a miracle—the tariff wars, tech crackdowns, and product embargoes that began in 2017 did not break China — they forged it into something stronger.
China may still offer rhetorical thanks to the US, but no one knows the ruthlessness of the US better than we Chinese. So Indians should be careful what they wish for, the "China's treatment." I can assure you, it is an ordeal, not a blessing.
2) Now, some Indians credit America's pressure for China's achievements today, yet the narrative back then was the exact opposite. When the US launched its sweeping crackdown on China in 2017, most Indians saw it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Even Indian policymakers openly declared they would "jump on America's bandwagon" to replace China—this was the famous "China+1" campaign. America did hand India a golden opportunity, but did India succeed? Not even close. India didn't even rank among the top five beneficiaries of "China+1" at the end of the day. So spare us the lament about an unfair fate.
3) Here is a deeply uncomfortable truth: even if India were granted a protected domestic market, success would likely prove harder, not easier. Too many entrenched business houses in India sit waiting. They lack international competitiveness, yet expect the state to cordon off a permanent captive market for their overpriced, shoddy goods.
But once they extract their superprofits, they do not pour that capital into R&D or cutting-edge products. They park it in overseas portfolio investment and real estate.
@CustomWetware@ylecun@deanwball OK. So what is this base outside of the laptop and desktop markets? Did you mean servers? I don't think there are more servers.
Everywhere capitalism has been tried, it failed.
The only capitalist countries that moderated their people's suffering embraced socialism alongside markets.
The USA is an example of the excesses of capitalism, where 700,000 people suffer abject poverty.
