The frontend landscape has actually been relatively stable over the last 2 years or so, with no major new contender coming up because things on the table now are all very mature. I don't foresee this to change any time soon with React and Vue, both really robust and complete, covering up two extremes of the spectrum.
The fact these recurring shitposts always began their rants with how freaking fast things are moving (in the speed they perceived) and that they couldn't keep it up strongly suggested that they're outta the loop for a long time or they aren't good frontends in the first place. It's also really harmful to the industry; I've seen a few frontend wannabes backing out because of all these uncalled for FUDs creating mental barriers for newcomers while I've repetitively tried to assure them it's really not that unstable in recent years.
> It seemed to me that he was interjecting with arbitrary comments
No, he's having fluent and meaningful exchange of words with those interviewees.
> Chinese speaker here
You're definitely not a native speaker.
> almost like mocking the Chinese staff
I'm not sure why you interpreted it that way but there's absofreakinglutely no mocking people in there, hey.
All of those whom he interviewed were speaking Mandarin with different degrees of accents and apparently the guy has some pretty decent level of command of the language so he can still converse with most of them no problem. The last one he interviewed (starting from 03:30) spoke with a heavily accented version of Mandarin so even I had to pay attention to understand like, 80% of what he was saying; the reporter probably had issues understanding him as well so he just smiled and nodded. Overall I found the reporter's usage of Mandarin as well as his interaction with others to be very natural.
This cocky attitude fuels racial discrimination and should be strongly condemned.
If you have some basic ideas about human history you should know that the Arab world helped preserve a great deal of classical knowledge from the Greek/Roman Era while the "Western Civilization" f*cked itself so hard in a cultural regressive "Dark Ages".
All human inventions are progressively built on past discoveries and you should be ashamed for only taking things at their face value.
You got it. Immigration is a decision that will not only affect me but also my better half, my family, and my offspring. It's totally about the environment, the society.
I once dreamed of immigrating to the US and working in the Bay Area... but it's become apparent to me now that there's something inherently wrong with that country. I guess I'll go to Australia or Canada instead.
On a more realistic side note... Professional Go players devote decades in training ever since their youth, giving up normal educations and lots of other more lucrative opportunities for their lives. It's very easy to imagine their frustrations now that their life-time devotion actually means nothing in front of the AI.
It's an upright denial to the way of life they so chose and devoted.
IMHO Google should donate the prize towards Go education and Go organizations instead of some random charities.
