The Samsung Galaxy Trifold is an interesting concept. Will foldables be the wave of the future?  Looks like it'll break easily and there will be a LOT of electronic waste. I think that portable electronics should be kept simple. If you want a tablet, get a real tablet. 
The Lenovo Legion Pro is also interesting. The main problem is that the expansion and contraction process is slow. You gotta wait until the scrolling process completes. So if you have to slam your laptop quickly because your cab came, or you gotta go, it'll be awkward. But this is the first generation.

Every so often, there's a new financial scheme that comes out gets attention. I remember when a friend was all crazy about his Orange high-yield savings account. Of course those are passé now. Now, it's box spreads synthetic loans. And there's a fintech company ready to help you get set up. It's legal and they make it sound safe. But the 1 month Treasury is still 3.629% and if you compound that monthly, it can add up!

Sheesh. You know, if Chinese people keep doing this crap, pretty soon, no one is going to want to put a Chinese person in any position of authority. As an Asian, I say that it actually hurts ALL of us, actually, and erases all the goodwill that the 442 regiment worked so hard to create. Americans already have some bias against Asians. Look at Hollywood. We don't need to give them this trope on top of everything else.

I studied Stoicism and never understood the concept of premeditatio malorum, which to me translates to "evil meditation". All it seems to do is stoke anxiety and dread. The purpose is to think of the worst case scenario so much that it numbs you, but that kind of thinking is not for everyone. I'll prepare for likely adverse possibilities when I have to, but I prefer not to dwell on negativity.

Is this the proof of the Riemann Hypothesis? Feel free to check it out and see for yourself.

This is a great idea for those trying to learn kanji. All that furigana can be a hindrance. This technique should be standard.

Are seed oils really bad for you? Or is it a viral social media myth? Here's a discussion with a dietician, but he does not distinguish between lineoleic acids and conjugated linoleic acids, which behave differently.  CLA can be good for you.  And that this wasn't even mentioned in the interview makes me suspect of the whole thing.

Washington state has been raiding their public works account for cash. Poor fiscal management by the Dems. Any entity with cash in that state isnt safe from Democrat scrutiny.

Minnesota schools are like Oregon schools. You just learn the 3 Rs: reading, writing, and revolution. Or maybe it's reading, racism and revolution? We already know they cancelled school until February. Probably so that kids can join the protests.

No need to wonder why Americans have lost faith in the medical profession. Just watch this video. How do physicians let their brains get so soft?
