@bauhiniacapital Classical style statues adorning a waterslide. You love to see it.

@MageManX @calvinfroedge @OliveGardeds That number 97 - the numerals come from the Western Arabic Numerals. If you kept your white system you’d be writing XCVII, which I’m sure you’d much prefer

@Tenshiwrf @Uptonsbjs @EffMktHype Academic job in the 1930s you were def "the elite" and your family had land. Mao's Hunan Report published in 1927, Russian Communist Revolution next door recently. Maybe "flee for lives" mild embellishment but making up losing relatives on the way would be too cringe to be untrue

@Tenshiwrf @Uptonsbjs @EffMktHype I know it's the internet and people lie but I don't get why you're digging in so hard here lol. Civil unrest right on Fujian's doorstep and someone made the call to up and move. It's not that unbelievable in the grand scheme of things

@Tenshiwrf @Uptonsbjs @EffMktHype First movers don't wait around to find out what happens next

@Tenshiwrf @Uptonsbjs @EffMktHype Second National Revolutionary War 1927-1937 "...CCP to take the cities of Changsha, Shantou and Guangzhou. The Red Army, consisting of mutinous former National Revolutionary Army (NRA) soldiers as well as armed peasants, established control over several areas in southern China."

@Tenshiwrf @Uptonsbjs @EffMktHype Count your blessings that stories like this seem like fiction to you

[JT @JerryDeeTi]

@Tenshiwrf @Uptonsbjs @EffMktHype My aunt was born in the jungle while my grandparents hid from the Japanese. These stories aren’t as uncommon as you’d think

[JT @JerryDeeTi]

@Tenshiwrf @Uptonsbjs @EffMktHype Oh and my grandmother-in-law committed suicide after being stoned weekly for being educated. So how things played out for those who left and those who stayed is in the generational memory of my family

@GavMcCracken It's kind of depressing all our advances in modern hardware was simply paved the way for us to wrap everything in electron so they can still feel slow and shit

[JT @JerryDeeTi]

@QiaochuYuan @GavMcCracken I mean let’s be honest Number Theory was probably as arcane and baroque as it could possibly be back in the 1600s when things like Fermat’s Last Theorem. NT now underpins cryptography but it predated stuff like stoichiometry and antibiotics in science or differential calc in math

@agnostoxxx If there’s only one to TACO what you get is NACHO

@KingKong9888 @Dioclet54046121 I’m not convinced they’ll allow leverage - but they’ll allow retail to purchase non-leveraged gold products and then this will help provide liquidity for the HK market

@philoinvestor @motomarket3 Can't edit...

Corinthia and Rosewood are alright.

@philoinvestor @motomarket3 Connaught?

@alexbhturnbull I got an annual pass in the flower dome so I could stretch my legs in a nice climate but yeah I def miss problem solving walks, the weather can be so oppressive in sg

[JT @JerryDeeTi]

@alexbhturnbull DeepMind are originally from the UK and have a deep ties with top unis so I suspect they are hoovering up a lot of talent esp as Google have all the infrastructure to do world class research/training

Helps as well that DM can pay exorbitant salaries that EU will never match ever

[JT @JerryDeeTi]

@calvinfroedge Which book is it?

[JT @JerryDeeTi]

@TraderPamplona What are your thoughts on their diesel exposure?
