I have been saddened to hear of the passing of the great Liu Huan, who I had the pleasure of singing with at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, performing the opening theme song, ‘You and Me’.

He was an amazing talent and a true gentleman. He will be greatly missed.

R.I.P.

@JasonGomez57902 @blader Her accent is not perfect, but to say it’s horrible is just too much of an exaggeration. I’ve heard way worse accents, some of which unfortunately are from Americans.

【战地记者唐师曾北京去世，享年65岁】8月23日，中国知名战地记者唐师曾，因白血病在北京去世，享年65岁。

就在前一天，唐师曾的社交账号还上传了他在医院接受治疗的照片。此前，其校友曾透露，他因治疗导致免疫力极低，身体状况已经十分危重。

唐师曾1961年生于江苏无锡，毕业于北京大学国际政治系，1986年进入新华社。上世纪90年代，他长期奔赴中东战场采访，曾接触卡扎菲、穆巴拉克、阿拉法特、拉宾、佩雷斯、沙龙、曼德拉等国际政要。

1998年，他因遭受辐射伤害罹患再生障碍性贫血，此后长期与病痛相伴。唐师曾于2025年底从新华社退休，代表作包括《我从战场归来》《我钻进了金字塔》《重返巴格达》《我的诺曼底》等。

但他最广为人知的身份，始终是那个从战场回来的媒体人。

Je renouvelle mon appel pour que cessent les violences répétées contre la population civile palestinienne en Cisjordanie et je lance un appel pressant à la communauté internationale de faire en sorte que la solution à deux États progresse, en vue d’une paix juste et durable.

As Japan and its Western Allies remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki-

Far fewer even know what happened 8 years earlier in Nanking (Nanjing), China,

It was one of the worst atrocities of the 20th century, carried out by the Imperial Japanese army.

On December 13, 1937, the Japanese captured the then Chinese capital, what followed over the next six weeks is known as the Nanking Massacre, sometimes also called “The Rape of Nanking.”

Over 300,000 Chinese civilians and disarmed soldiers were brutally killed, for scale thats more than the combined death tolls of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Tens of thousands of women and little girls (some as young as 8, others very elderly) were systematically raped, Japanese soldiers even held contests to see who could rape the most victims.

Entire families were bayoneted, machine gunned, buried alive, or burned to death, soldiers used bound prisoners for bayonet practice.
A third of the city was burned to the ground. A small group of Westerners, including an American missionary, a German businessman (who was a also a Nazi Party member), and doctors, created a “Safety Zone” that probanly saved an estimated 250,000 lives while the massacre raged around them.

The world watched as American and European newspapers ran front page stories, many diplomats also sent frantic cables as newsreels showed the horrific aftermath.

After the war, many of Japan’s top generals were tried and some hanged, but many perpetrators, and even the royal family member who allegedly issued the “kill all captives” order, were never punished.

Today the death toll is still debated in modern Japan, some politicians downplay or even deny it, which of course reopens old wounds with China and even Korea every few years.

Why does this matter in 2026?
Well, Because remembering Nanking isn’t about simply appointing balme, its about understand history and how it shapes modern policy and perceptions.

If you only knew about Pearl Harbor from the Pacific War, I hope this informs your thinking on the subject, and most importantly the suffering of millions of Chinese cIvillians during WW2. Up to 20 million Chinese died in that catastrophic conflict, second only to the Soviets.

It may also go some way to helping understand how Chinese / Japanese relations are colored by the past. As you now see, With very good reason.

@JokicToMurray @oregon__updates can you confirm? I don't see any official news from the team. I'm a big fan of Lin Wei. He is a super star of my home team Nanjing in CBA.

#Bitcoin here I made this for you.
Change B to be the Bitcoins you own, change Y to years in the future to evaluate the value of your investment. This is the trend value so price can be above or below but within few months is going to be no matter what.

你选择的环境生态，远比你的具体决策更重要。流通不自由资源贫乏的环境里，需要拼命争抢，突破重围; 流动性通畅，资源丰富的环境里，需要等待，和科学的以逸待劳的定位。

把资源贫乏的环境里有效的策略，习惯性带入到资源丰富的环境里，是一个悲剧。反之亦然。

始终警惕防范任何限制流动性自由的约束，才能始终让自己处于资源丰富的环境之内。

教大家一个挖掘用户需求at scale的绝妙办法：
1. 找到你的用户聚集的地方，比如Subreddit，或者Facebook群
2. 用爬虫程序大规模爬取人们的发帖
3. 把爬取到的帖子一股脑全塞给ChatGPT/Claude，让它总结大家的痛点和需求
实验下来我只能说效果非常绝！挖掘出了大量的真实痛点，跟我们用户访谈的结果一致

I found a guy who goes around the US asking 70 to 100-year-olds their:

• Biggest Regrets
• Biggest Lessons
• Advice to their younger self

Oddly enough, most of their answers are the same…

Here are my top 8:

[james hawkins @james406]

a few realizations @ycombinator gave me about the human side of tech:

* incredible looking companies have less of an idea than you'd expect. it's chaotic everywhere.
* the people running them are just as human as you. they're beatable. also, they're motivated by human stuff not *just* money
* tech isn't as big a world as it seems - people tend to know each other. the easiest way to get in, is to do remarkably good things and have people want to talk to you as a result - not random "networking".
* related to the above - karma is real. it's impossible to be perfect, but try to help others out without expecting anything back.

@lucaronin , in his latest @refactoringclub post, said better here:"I feel stupid to even have to say that, as professionals, we have the right — and to an extent, the obligation — to reflect on major events in our industry, make our own opinions, and discuss them with others."

[Paul Graham @paulg]

It's remarkable how many people who've never run any kind of company think they know how to run a tech company better than someone who's run Tesla and SpaceX.

I'd like to be constantly reminded of these four things. Highly respect the product guru @cagan

[Lenny Rachitsky @lennysan]

The four things you need to do when you're a PM joining a new team:
1. Get to know your customers
2. Get to know your data
3. Get to know the different parts of the business
4. Get to know the competitive landscape
