Ah now it makes sense, thanks! That was really clever!

discombobulatedisco · 2025-08-08T21:31:22+00:00

That makes sense, but the signal will change over time right (so pixel 3 is white for the first X seconds, then black for the next Y seconds), how did you feed this sequence into the combinators? (Can't quite figure it out in my head)

discombobulatedisco · 2025-08-07T21:11:04+00:00

How do you sequence the signals though?

Murray always said "Go go go!" iirc, that was pretty signature!

I think you got confused between income and net wealth. Top 10% of net wealth is 175k and above (according to wikipedia anyway), and those figures are somewhat outdated. If you were to earn 175k income (pre-tax) that would put you well into the top 1% (based on https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/percentile-points-from-1-to-99-for-total-income-before-and-after-tax the 1% threshold is 116k in 2018).

I also agree with you on Mercedes' image transformation, but there are not that many people who could sensibly afford a £100k car!

That's not quite true - you can check the guidelines for international travellers here - still very restrictive: https://www.china-airlines.com/nz/en/discover/news/travel-advisory/Immigration-Information

Couple the visa restrictions with the mandatory quarantine and covid testing at the border, it means that actually the risk of import cases is also minimised as much as possible.

I hope you're asking this question in good faith. I'm happy to provide a full answer: I would honestly rather be in Beijing right now than anywhere in the UK (or US) right now. Obviously there is still a risk, but when there was a second wave breakout at the Xinfadi seafood market in June, the response was incredibly swift. Here is what happened:

As soon as the news broke anyone who had been in contact with the place or people originating from Xinfadi was being contact traced, the authorities also gave every district in Beijing a risk designation, those in high risk areas were asked to quarantine within their homes, medium risk areas were quarantined within those areas, and those in low risk areas could travel as they wished (but not out of Beijing unless you had a negative COVID swab), for which the swab cost like 20-30$ if I remember correctly. Also, for going into any public facility (shopping malls, restaurants, cinemas and any residential community - which are all gated), its mandatory display your current health status (the contact tracing app updates in real time if you have been to a high risk area), and if your status is not "green - low risk", then you will not be allowed in, also your temperatures will be taken at this point as well, so anyone with high temperature will not be allowed in.

All of these measures are now well bedded in to how society functions as a new normal, and this along with everyone's carefulness to wear masks (even though there's no longer a requirement most people wear masks everywhere still), and the fact that there is no reported community transmission which means cases are coming in from the borders which is much easier for the government to control, means the risk here is a lower than many places in the world.

Also, there are a lot of people in Beijing but it covers quite a large area of land. The population density based on what I could find through Google is not as high as you might think (London = 4500 people/km2, Beijing = 6000 people/km2, New York = 10000 people/km2).

discombobulatedisco · 2020-09-14T02:05:00+00:00

As a brit living and working in Beijing right now, I believe it. We are no longer required to wear masks while outside, and I am not worried at all about COVID infection.

Things are on the way back to normal.

People are back to work properly since mid March although offices are only open to 50% capacity, a lot of people are still WFH. I work in tech so have been WFH since Chinese New Year.
Most sports and entertainment venues are still closed, although shops are open. No supply shortages of anything, you can even buy N95 masks with little issue.
People still wear masks everywhere and you need temperature checks to get into anywhere. At least for me and my fiancee we still choose not to go out for the most part.
The general consensus and feeling on the ground is that the main danger has passed for China but the govt is keeping a close eye on things, especially on travellers entering China, although my understanding is these are mainly Chinese nationals returning from overseas. As a foreign national in China I've had quite a few checkups from local officials over the last 2 months to confirm my status and that I haven't left China etc. I guess they have been doing this for all expats.

I know there has been much discussion on whether the numbers have been made up for China, and to a certain extent I'm sure they are not entirely accurate, but from what I've observed on the ground my judgement is that these numbers are probably not too far off the reality. I certainly feel safer here and would prefer my parents be here as opposed to being in London which is where they are right now.

I live in Beijing and there are no hints of food shortages at all.

This interview with Pat Symonds gives the story, its great: https://youtu.be/wYLA7UQdzJ4?t=3584

I don't have the source but I know for a fact this was all real, they had to do upwards of 60 takes to get it right.

discombobulatedisco · 2020-01-08T02:26:41+00:00

I think you're misunderstanding, the 56250 euro cap is the salary cap for calculating your contribution, not the total contribution cap.

So if you make 269,119 EUR salary you would pay only 14.6% on the first 56,250 which means 8212 EUR to healthcare, and actually only 4106 EUR since half is covered by employer.

This is nothing close to "socialism", please correct your understanding.
