Chinese blade: 03/01/2010 - 04/01/2010

http://chineseblade.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

Think like Confucius, cut like a blade. Monday, March 22, 2010. Obama Care, Not Even Wrong. The health care bill passed on Sunday, March 21st, 2010. A historic moment. It will be interesting to observe its consequences in the next decade, a potential gold mine for economists. I kept wondering: if universal health care was such an obviously good thing, why was Massachusetts the only state in the nation that independently enacted it? Even if we limit the debate entirely to the moral ground, I cannot fully ...

Chinese blade: Resolve

http://chineseblade.blogspot.com/2011/10/resolve.html

Think like Confucius, cut like a blade. Friday, October 28, 2011. A hope begotten at your sight, a resolve made in my mind,. A moth is destined for the flame, for the light. Aware of the devastation ahead, yet. We no longer act in perfect logic. Best not to have met, best not to have wished,. Only had we never loved one another. Take not another step closer,. With every step we sink deeper. Tis time's mischief,. That separates our lives. Longing for you, long is the way to you,. Bitter be the outcome,.

Think like Confucius, cut like a blade. Monday, August 13, 2012. What can Brown do for you? What can brown do for you? So goes UPS's slogan. The answer is, as the color suggests, shit. Take my case today: the estimated delivery time was before 10:30am and the actual time the guy showed up was 5:17pm! A ton of shit! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). What can Brown do for you?

Think like Confucius, cut like a blade. Sunday, February 21, 2010. Dogs as pet and meat. From Roger Cohen's Op-Ed in New York Times, Dog Days in China. Another noted a local saying: "when the dog meat is being simmered, even the gods become dizzy with hunger.". I suspect that "the gods" - plural in the quote from New York Times - refer not to the Christian God, but to numerous Chinese deities. There are plenty of Chinese folklore in which a dog becomes a meal for its palindromic counterpart. It is often ...

Chinese blade: Three Inches of Heaven

http://chineseblade.blogspot.com/2011/10/three-inches-of-heaven.html

Think like Confucius, cut like a blade. Sunday, October 16, 2011. Three Inches of Heaven. Stopping here, dare not to go on,. Stop the sorrows behind the curtains. The farewell that you've handwritten on the next page,. Is beyond my power to refuse. We've taken this road in much haste,. Holding onto false desires. Tis too late, 'tis beyond our patience,. To appreciate all that we've left behind,. Magnolia's scent cannot seal our wounds. Look no more, the sun shine through the clouds in the sky,.

http://chineseblade.blogspot.com/2011/10/why-you-should-not-bother-to-switch.html

Think like Confucius, cut like a blade. Monday, October 24, 2011. Why you should not bother to switch the envelope. You are presented with two envelopes, and are told that one contains twice as much money as the other. You are to choose one envelope and earn the money in it. You pick one envelope, and upon opening it, find that it contains y. Dollars. You have the option to keep that envelope, or to switch to the other envelope. Should you switch? Dollars, and a 1/2 chance that it contains y. 1/2 × y.

Think like Confucius, cut like a blade. Tuesday, September 22, 2009. Netflix just awarded a cool million to a 7-member team who managed to devise algorithms that improved the prediction of user's ratings of movies by 10% compared to Netflix's own Cinematch algorithm, the endgame of a 4-year long contest (see NYTimes. Isn't it time that Facebook. Sets up a contest of its own? Online dating services can certainly use such an algorithm. Who else? Sunday, September 20, 2009. I am a big fan of Luis von Ahn.
