      when you might die

      This is brilliant. Since death is uncertain, how can we predict it? We can't, but we can calculate the probability based on large data of WHO health observation and CDC's life expectation data...

      Taipei Golden Horse best documentary award goes to ...

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bT6pWkT6nC8&feature=youtu.be

      Highly recommend. Lost Course is a promising documentary on the crisis of Wukan, a rural fishing village of China whose villagers protested massively against the central govt.

      The only film that records a chronicle about mainland China in Taiwan, something gets more and more rare to see in nowadays.

      Some background info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wukan

      China's new digital currency front has caught the world napping

      So the new Cold War is based on technology. China Digital Currency is not just centralized, which is totally the opposite of block chain, but also the world's biggest surveillance tool, has the potential of competing with SWIFT. Who said China is not creative?

      So this is called the hand of God and the goal of century

      RIP, Maradona. One of the best players ever exist.

      He won the first goal by the hand of God, which is wrong and less controversial of course. But the second goal dribbled though a team of English opponents, so called the goal of the century, is much more controversial...

      Why Do We Eat Turkey on Thanksgiving? | Britannica

      For me it's kind of weird. I have never eaten turkey, nor seen a turkey before. But since the first semester of learning English, I have just been taught that turkey is for Thanksgiving.

      I think in China, chicken is more precious, and more usual for festivals and hosting guests. Although pork is more common to see in every dinner, but pork is more expensive. Rural villagers usually raise pigs by themselves for the Chinese new year festival, that has become a kind of tradition now...

      Just found a weird bug in my program. it turns out to be silly

      So I thought I have found a bug of Firefox, which treats sessionStorage differently than Google. I found on Firefox that when the page was directed to another url, the sessionStorage was freed immediately. At first I thought it was a bug of Firefox. To get around of it, I use localStorage instead, and send the author a pull request. But the original author reminded me that he hadn't found such problem on Firefox. Than it occurred to me that it might be my problem. So I looked into my code again, did find the problem. It turns out I am using sessionStorage inside an iframe, when change the url of the top window, then on Firefox the storage is freed immediately as the session is lost.

      Exclusive: U.S. preparing new sanctions on Chinese officials over Hong Kong crackdown - sources | Reuters

      I wonder what's the true repercussion to those sanctioned officials, and how much power does the US really have over HK affairs.
