how do I accept I'll never know why any employer rejected me?
  • Life is all about probabilities, you can do everything right and still lose (however doing everything"right" is nigh impossible). You lose if they have a better candidate, you lose if their department is suddenly not in need of the position, etc.

    With that mentality, I don't bother with CVs, and just use the time saved to apply to more jobs or maybe some kind of relevant project.

    Hong Kong schools introduce 'Xi Jinping Thought' as new addition to curriculum: The Chinese leader's ideas are now mandatory for secondary students
  • I mean at this point anything goes. You know that if you have a layover in Hong Kong, they changed the law to be able to arrest you at the airport if you expressed dissident thought anytime in the past?

    They all but destroyed free expression if it criticizes government. Just another t1 mainland city now. And with it, the outflux of FDI, because there is no confidence in cult of personality leaders who are also conniving.

    Japan says Chinese military violated territorial airspace for first time
  • China is facing a demographic crisis, but unlike Japan or Western nations, it still has a weak middle class seen with how domestic consumption has all but dried up.

    This posturing does nothing but quickens the pace that foreign development investment, the only tangible injection of wealth into the country, leaves.

    Unfortunately, due to Xi consolidating power, cult of personality, noone can say the obvious that his administration is retarded and needs to step down.

    Intel was once a Silicon Valley leader. How did it fall so far?
  • Well run cost center departments don't boost quarterly results, ergo they are deprioritized.

    They are looking out for themselves rather then the company, because of the incentives in place.

    We are living in weird times where stock price doesn't really correspond with company health, so their actions reflect against that metric against all others.

    Financial responsibility
  • If government has to bail them out, then government gets to nationalize a proportionate amount of the company. And the dividends then go toward government spending.

    Something about fiscal responsibility...
