It's a bit like when I needed ChatGPT to help me revise an article yesterday, and it automatically toned down the harsh criticisms I had written about ChatGPT in the article. Asking Gemini how to save money on Google Cloud would likely yield similar results.

This is undoubtedly a good news story, and the most wonderful part is that the article mentions that 14 organizations declined to comment on the matter.

I encountered the same problem. I also use the Bear theme, specifically Hugo Bear. Recently, my blog was unindexed by Bing. Using `site:`, there are no links at all. My blog has been running normally for 17 years without any issues before.

It's just another TikTok.

No wonder, when I opened Vercel it showed a 502 error.

Any infrastructure can be abused, but that doesn't negate its legitimate uses.In fact, it is precisely because of the popularity of free services such as CloudFlare that the threshold for network security has been significantly lowered.

Firefox only supports a limited number of alphabetic text translations, and other third-party plugins are not as convenient as Chrome & Edge.That's why I gave up on using it.

The 44% mentioned in the data is actually composed of a large number of small family-run fishing boats, whose actual catch volumes are very low.In fact, China’s offshore catch (2.3 million tons in 2023, accounting for only ~10% of the global total and declining for three consecutive years) is far lower than its domestic aquaculture output (58.1 million tons).

And that's the exactly reason the title says 44% instead of 10%, because 10% does not make a good headline

People here don't care about the facts you're stating

However there are two bizarre facts: 1.Modern-day Chinese carry virtually zero Denisovan DNA, yet it accounts for over 5% in indigenous peoples of Southeast Asia and Oceania; 2.Modern-day Chinese possess 20% more Neanderthal DNA than contemporary Europeans.

Makes you wonder if there are any groups that contain both

But Tibetans have Denisovan dna.

That's interesting - perhaps the isolation of the high mountains meant less interbreeding ?

Same could be true for island chains (like where they were discovered in Indonesia)

I Think there are two typically causes: 1.Developers often acquire land in remote rural areas to build housing projects, anticipating urban expansion that would drive up property values. However, China's urbanization has largely reached its limit, making further expansion unlikely. 2.Some developers construct properties on leased land without securing proper ownership titles. If full property rights aren't obtained before sales commence, these units become unsellable and are eventually abandoned, as buyers avoid legally precarious investments.

1. PRC urbanization still has long way to go, rate slowed to ~0.8-1% per year, that's still 10-14 million per year. Current urbanization is ~65%, goal is 70% by 2030s, but "urbanized" by east asian standards like SKR, JP is ~90%. So still looking at 200-300m to urbanize (factoring in population decline to 1300m) by 2050s. Depends on hukou reforms and rural policies, a lot of rural old don't want to move, but if they want to age with modern amenities/services, they will probably have to.

Current excess PRC square footage in housing inventory is enough for 100-150m people. About 10 years of urbanization headroom. This is without accounting for replacing deprecated housing stock. Reality of speculation and (mis)allocation of "ghost" developments is messy, but over next 25 years, PRC is still ~100m short on urban housing, they just also have a very wasteful 100-150m decade long housing runway that needs to be unwound in mean time.

2. It's product of PRC land finance system, local govs revenue cash cow is to raise money by developing land / RE. System got gamed/speculated to hell. 3RL finally starved process, shock left a lot of financing drama on existing projects. System slowly figuring out how to restart/finish, remember a lot of these are presales... people are waiting on their units. But the TLDR is PRC / CCP haven't figured out politically palatable way of introducing property taxes which would go a long way to replace inefficient/speculative land finance model.
