  1. Recently, while watching some videos, I used pen and paper instead of a computer to jot down some key points. Unlike typing on a computer, using pen and paper forces me to record key points without wasting time on the completeness and perfection of notes.

  2. The company's Mid-Autumn Festival gift box contains fruits, which I think is a very correct and practical gift box. After all, the mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival are overpriced and often not tasty at all.

  3. Xmind's revenue mainly relies on over a hundred thousand paying users. Can a tool last for over a decade and still be relevant? The product manager's words were quite enlightening: workflows will change, and Xmind's role must adapt to those changes; there are demands to be explored both upstream and downstream of Xmind.

  4. Chai Jing interviewed a classmate of Li Keqiang, who recalled that during their time at Peking University, Li, coming from a rural background, rarely sat on chairs. Initially, he would squat on the chair in class and only sat down after seeing other classmates do so. This reminded me of a character Bruce Lee portrayed in a movie, who, upon seeing a toilet abroad, squatted instead of sitting—this is likely a collective memory for many from that era.

  5. The excellent external hardware of a company can quickly impress people, but the internal atmosphere and culture require deep experience to truly understand. The latter, although slower, is more enduring. I quite agree with Netflix's early culture: instead of offering all-inclusive benefits like companies such as Google to attract and retain talent, they matched suitable people with sufficient salaries and higher freedom.

  6. Jensen Huang said at the California Institute of Technology graduation ceremony: I don't like giving advice, so I try to hide my advice in stories.

  7. Sometimes, the source of power is not the exercise of power, but the relinquishment of it.

  8. The Kiwi browser supports extension plugins, making the use of xlog and browsing other English websites much smoother.

  9. Sometimes, we must wait for a generation to pass away to understand more clearly what happened in that generation.

  10. "To be honest, the slogans about annihilating the American and British imperialists and liberating a billion Asian people are just empty rhetoric to incite the masses. Personally, I always want to stand on the side of justice. ... All my likes and dislikes stem purely from human instincts. I cannot decide to love or hate someone based on nationality." — A passage from the wartime diary of Japanese youth Sasaki Hachiro.

  11. For some car designs, I can't fathom what the designer was thinking. A typical example is: removing the four armrests from the top of the car interior, calling it minimalist design; hidden door handles, claiming to reduce wind resistance.

  12. I learned a new term: Whataboutism. Derived from "what about," it translates to "what about that," often appearing in response to accusations against A by questioning how B also has this problem. It is a form of evasive reasoning.

  13. One point I increasingly feel is that everything is irreversibly sliding towards obscenity. Here, obscenity is not in the narrow sense. Borrowing this quip, it roughly expresses what I want to say: power is a man's aphrodisiac. In fact, it is anyone's aphrodisiac.

  14. Regarding censorship: if there is no censorship at all, it would be a mess; in the case of censorship, if it serves the public, maintains the current community environment, and remains open and transparent rather than authoritarian, it could be an ideal approach.
