“Nooooooo you were supposed to be incapable of creativity like in my stereotypes of you!”
The stereotype of Asian people being incredibly skilled at science and math only applies after they cross the border into Freedomland, I guess.
I’ve heard people unironically say that Asian people can only be creative in the West because of freedom or some shit. At least that’s a step up from the outright racists who claim only white people are capable of creativity.
I mean, to some extent it’s “true” solely because of how standardized Asian education systems are and how much they actually test capability.
In contrast, American education is a fucking joke. But, by extension, Americans get more time to jack off and do other shit, so from that definition I’m fairly sure creative output in the US would be higher per-capita for people in high school, at least.
Comrade, I think this is a flawed take. Even if we’re only taking about the East Asian countries, China, Korea, and Japan hardly have the same system in either teaching style or curriculum.
Also, “creativity” doesn’t necessarily arise out of boredom. Sure, someone might get bored and write a story or make a tik tok vid, but there are also many forms of creativity that involve a lot of hard work and support systems. Creative things like plays and orchestras don’t tend to arise spontaneously of boredom.
No, but they’re unified in how they evaluate and reward a “good” education:
China has gaokao, South Korea has CSAT, and Japan has the common test. All of these are unified by the fact that they directly evaluate scholastic ability (unlike the ACT/SAT), are substantially harder than the American equivalent, and more directly correspond to university admissions.
Plays and orchestras take time.
Lol the amerikkkans are starting to realize the consequences of their actions
US regime is entering the finding out stages of fucking around.
based
I’d say it’s been very productive
That’s right, US gave China the push they needed to start developing cutting edge domestic tech.
p60? Or mate60?
Yeah, I think that’s what they’re referring to.
i suspect that this lack of detail is characteristic of the sanctions. my head hasn’t been in the semiconductor game for decades, but any laymen like me could see that the sanctions had obvious loopholes that enabled china to proceed and i wonder if that’s intentional or because the politicians lacked this kind of detailed knowledge.
I think it’s pretty clear that people making these decisions don’t have a clue. Experts have been saying from the start that this is a hare brained scheme. The key part here isn’t that China can still access western tech, but rather that China now has a strong incentive to develop domestic tech, while western companies lose sales.
Huawei always have very impressive phones. But they just don’t seem worth it with their short support cycle
Not sure about their newer phones but I had a P8 that was built like an absolute tank. Took it to -40C and back repeatedly during a trip up North and it was still usable 2 years later. Gave it to my grandma when her Samsung crapped out. I’m pretty sure it’s still in working condition.
I am sure it will keep working with your grandmother. They are built exceptionally well. It’s the lack of continued os and security updates that concerns me. If they could match samsung and googles 5 years of updates they would be the only phone I use
