As an american i feel it. have you ever visited China? it's sad man, in more and more industries america is only able to compete by banning china from even contesting the market

Not just on dumping or price, actual product quality, innovation and value. It's impossible to visit a Huawei store in Beijing and not feel it in your bones

That's how China was able to compete: banning America from contesting the market.

How do we have a productive discussion about our feelings on a tech site?

You start with a non-sequitur on China using coal to generate electricity.

Because that, too, is feelings. In this case, insecurity.

This site is fascinating place for me, especially comment section. Sometimes, visibly smart folks end up shooting their own feet with things like oversized egos, unwillingness to entertain any idea contrary to their already-held beliefs and many others. Makes me more humble and lowers my expectations of humanity, while in the same time giving me more hope for the future.

Bizzare mix, but pretty fun with controversial topics

This feels like subtweeting (vaguely referencing bad behaviors in this thread without naming anything or anyone) so I'm curious what you're going for with this comment.

> Another example: massive growth in Chinese renewables while the US opens up national parks for drilling and cancels solar/wind projects. You occasionally see a heartwarming post: “California adds solar panels over a canal” and it just looks cute and kind of sad compared to the massive, ambitious, and technologically superior build out of Chinese renewables.

EDIT: thanks I didn't realize I forgot to add the context of my original reply to the post. Edited it to add context.

maybe engage with it because we're all humans with feelings and they're incredibly powerful computational shortcuts? thinking it's virtuous to be an emotionless automaton is ideology (kinda like feelings!)
