Discover今年的所有5%都出了!含推荐链接
大家都知道Chase和Discover两个5%的卡除了刚出的时候强力推广,之后一直不是很给力。每次都到季度末才会退出下一季度的5% category,特别是去年,不仅更新慢而且每次出的都很鸡肋。 不过…

Travelogue of China - Miscellaneous Thoughts
Once again, I'm waiting for my flight at the airport. Shenzhen is the last stop on this trip. Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve, and after dinner, I'll be heading back to the US.

Their attitude was completely different from before... When they arrived, I found out it was a repairman from Suning.com...

In the previous post, I discussed my views on the current tech industry, which can be summarized as: 1.

High-speed rail notes
After returning to China, I found it awkward to type articles on a computer in public, since everyone around me could read Chinese. I had to hide the screen and type blindly. Unlike in the US, where speaking Chinese is encrypted. On the plane back, a young man behind me jokingly said, "It's all because of those two idiots in front..."

Year after year – 2018
2017 is almost over. Sitting on the plane back home, reflecting on the experiences and changes of the year, I'm filled with emotion. Since my trip to San Francisco at the beginning of the year, I've felt constantly driven forward by change. Even now, the final ripples haven't subsided.

A small incident today made me realize why traditional business models can lead to inefficiency. Here's what happened: We had a requirement to modify a client's existing website system.

Why did I buy a long-discontinued PSP amidst the Switch craze?
I've been feeling really depressed lately. It's rare that I've had time to clear out my pile of games and play some, but I just can't muster the energy. Firstly, I'm tired of all those similar shoot-'em-up games, and secondly, as a trophy hunter, starting a new game is a huge undertaking. I just want to relax… Thinking back…

Weekend in Shenandoah – Photography + Airbnb Rant + Chaos of Android in China
I went to Shannondale over the weekend: "Hiking in the afternoon, watching the sunset in the evening, stargazing at night, staying at a Airbnb, watching shooting stars at midnight, and welcoming the sunrise in the morning." I was practically awake for 24 hours, and after returning on Sunday noon, I slept soundly until evening. I woke up feeling refreshed; just 24 hours...

The story the BBC documentary dared not tell: Western relaxed education is secretly stratifying society.
A while ago, a BBC documentary told the story of five Chinese teachers implementing a four-week Chinese-style teaching experiment at a secondary school in Hampshire, southern England.
