If you are a Chinese NEVER tell your mom about your private life.

If you are a Chinese NEVER tell your mom about your private life. Since our grandparents and great grandparents had about 10 kids each we have 10 million living relatives and non-relatives who are also called aunties. This means there is 90% chance your mom will tell auntie A who will tell auntie B who will tell auntie C ... to auntie N where N is a very large number :). I guess there is only 2 degrees of separation in the overseas Chinese community so this makes it doubly worse.

Why Bitcoin will outperform Tesla and Gold

Governments can't control Bitcoin, so I expect it to go to 11 trillion market cap or more, or at least 610k USD per Bitcoin. Apple is worth over 2.2 trillion, Tesla is at 0.63 trillion, Bitcoin is now at 0.5 trillion. All the worlds gold is about 11.5 trillion USD. Historically companies get broken up once they get too powerful at about 8 trillion USD inflation adjusted (oil companies and Dutch East India company). So I expect tech companies to go up to 8 trillion before being split into 2.

Total value of gold now 11.4 trillion, total value of Bitcoin 445 billion

I expect Bitcoin will reach a value of 11 trillion in next few years, so this would be a price of 614k USD per Bitcoin

Tech predictions updates

Not much to add except that both AR and VR will rise concurrently with Apple releasing something decent by 2025 and decentralised finance projects start to replace traditional banking and Wall Street adopts Bitcoin AND Ethereum at a significant level. Obviously remote working and video streaming tech will rise even more and perhaps be the normal way of working.

Sleep 30% more than normal if possible

Instead of getting stressed about how shite this year is/has been just sleep 30% more than normal if possible. 1. You live longer 2. You stay looking young longer 3. Your immune system is strengthened and so makes you less likely to suffer from you know what 4. The shite year passes a lot faster 5. You spend less possible time spreading the virus or wasting time on Facebook

UK and Czech rep might have biggest Lithium reserves in Europe -BBC click

https://www.statista.com/statistics/268790/countries-with-the-largest-lithium-reserves-worldwide/ So Chile, Australia, Argentina, China, USA,Zimbabwe,UK, Czech Rep, Brazil and Portugal will have the largest known reserves of lithium, which is effectively the new replacement for oil.

Familism (or familismo) is broadly defined as “prioritizing one’s family over oneself” and is probably more prevalent in Hispanic and immigrant cultures, thus also partly explaining the higher death rates in those groups

I have a very different theory as to why there are more deaths at home. The old and sick might have taken the noble decision not to seek hospital treatment so as not to further burden the NHS and to leave their estates and wills to their heirs sooner rather than later, thus sacrificing themselves for the sake of their children. Familism (or familismo) is broadly defined as “prioritizing one’s family over oneself” and is probably more prevalent in Hispanic and immigrant cultures, thus also partly explaining the higher death rates in those groups.

Predictions for 2021

Predictions for 2021 Cases to rise significantly till mid-2021 due to both better testing and people not taking virus seriously Covid vaccine trials successful and rollout will mean pandemic is over by 2022 Trump is diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's Death rates for all countries by covid falls significantly as the vulnerable are sadly already dead, we have better anti-virals, better isolation protocols (apparently at the start of the outbreak there was significant transmission within hospitals and care homes as we did not know extent of pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic transmission and airborne transmission rates). Countries that don't have widespread mask wearing have significantly higher death rates from covid. Advances in technology such as AI, AR, VR, GPU, DPU and CPU development mean economies to do not suffer as much as previously predicted

Difficulty putting two Ikea Besta units together to create a deeper 80cm TV cabinet

To my fellow big eaters and people with high metabolisms:

To my fellow big eaters and people with high metabolisms: When you go into a restauarant and order a meal for two for just yourself do you get strange looks from the staff or nearby customers? One time in Hong Kong an elderly gent near me said "Nei gom ging" or "You are amazing". I had to hold back and not say "That's what she said" :) (Though in Cantonese I think I would have had to say "That's what my girlfriend said" as Canto and Chinese does not have gender specific third person)

Social Dilemna

It is really scary what AI can do. But it is just a technology that can be used for good and bad. With AI we now have so many improvements in quality of life that most people are not aware of as costs of doing business are reduced across many sectors. It's use will rise exponentially so the ability for doing bad or good will similarly rise. We are in a critical stage where we need to see and decide which companies to support in this field. While there is a ton of bad that Facebook do, there is also a ton of good which just outweighs that. Facebook is making advances in VR and AR as well as use of AI to help us communicate in situations that would not normally be possible. Facebook tech can now help people born with only 3 fingers see and use a full 5 fingers with AR. IF you want to be a demon typist Facebook tech can add a 6th finger in AR and allow your brain to adjust and control it!

8k displays are now close to life-like reality

I now have a computer that is pretty much capable of displaying and producing 8k content. That is 33million pixels or four times what is commonly in your top end smartphone or high end monitors and Tvs. 4k resolution is only 8.3 million pixels. This approaches photo-realism in that your brain can find it hard not to see that it is not real. Since our brains only see reality in high resolution in a small section of our view in our fovea, the rest of what we see is MADE UP by our brains. 50% of what you see might not be real. This is why eye-witnesses at important events are sometimes not lying when they see different things, and it is how a lot of magic tricks work as they fool your brain into not seeing something or seeing something that does not exist. This adds to the Roshomon effect. In the future, if you cannot afford a view of Hong Kong harbour you could probably just stick a 120 inch 8k display on the wall and you would be unable to tell the diference between it and the real thing until you got to less than a metre from it. I have also ordered a 4k VR headset. Looking forward to 16k and 32k VR in the future, which will mean it will look almost indistinguishable from reality.

Crazy cheap- MS Flight Simulator for HKD10 (less than 2 USD) on Microsoft Xbox Games Pass for PC special offer in Hong Kong and only one pound in UK!

Get it before Microsoft change their minds! HKD10 or one pound for first month, then 39HK or 3.99 GBP. Also includes No Man's Sky VR version. Sadly I can't get Alien Isolation to work with motherVR and Hellblade does not seem to have the VR version on Xbox Games pas for PC.

How much does it cost per year for the space occupied by an upright piano in Hong Kong?

HK rents are still sky high, despite a small drop. Currently the space an upright piano takes up (0.75m2 or 8.1 sq ft) costs me 4500 HKD per year, or about £450 or 585 USD. So in ten years that's a crazy 5850 USD!

Mask wearing death rates updated

The top 5 worst hit covid countries right now are Belgium, UK,Spain, Italy and Sweden with deaths per million population from 561 (Sweden) to 846 (Belgium). The highest death rates in a mask wearing country is 8 (Japan) and 6 (S Korea). Sweden has a social distance culture so falsely thought they would have a low death rate. So it looks like wearing a mask gives a 100 times better death rate if everyone does it than just relying on social distancing. Or maybe it is the culture -in Asia the virus is taken more seriously than elsewhere. Or perhaps it is the weather. Or use of technology to track and trace contacts. Or all 4.

Mask wearing countries death rate is still 100 times lower

The top 5 worst hit covid countries right now are Belgium, UK,Spain, Italy and Sweden with deaths per million population from 558 (Sweden) to 846 (Belgium).

Mask wearing countries death rates are 100 times lower than the worst hit countries

The top 5 worst hit covid countries right now are Belgium, UK,Spain, Italy and Sweden with deaths per million population from 500 (Sweden) to 836 (Belgium). The highest death rates in a mask wearing country is 7 (Japan) and 5 (Korea). Sweden has a social distance culture so falsely thought they would have a low death rate. So it looks like wearing a mask is 100 times better if everyone does it than just relying on social distancing. Or maybe it is the culture -in Asia the virus is taken more seriously than elsewhere. Or perhaps it is the weather. Or use of technology to track and trace contacts. Or all 4.

Sad predictions

Global dangers... we need to help poorer countries now

It is insane to ease lockdowns until reproduction number is below one

thanks to mathmatics if reproduction number is greater than one the virus will grow exponentially killing perhaps 20% of the population and totally destroying the economy. Once you have the virus under control (zero cases and zero deaths for 20 days) remove lockdown measures. As soon as you get any new cases go back into lockdown until there are no new cases.

Virtual Reality is going to be big in the next 5 years

I'm now completely convinced Virtual Reality and Augmented reality will play a huge role in our future. So companies to look out for in this area - Valve, Microsoft, Facebook, HTC, HP, Samsung,Pimax, Sony. Maybe Apple, but they seem late to the party and Google seem to have stalled. Tesla is interesting for their neuro-interface. Though the need for cars will be reduced if you can virtually travel anywhere and interact almost as easy as real life. Half life Alyx VR is the best gaming experience I have ever had.

How much is one China person's life worth?

The lockdown in China has cost their economy about 1 trillion USD. Each year flu kills around 70k people in China, so one life is worth less than 14.3 million USD?

Prediction for Sweden if fit using quadratic curve-hope I am wrong

If we fit quadratic curve to world deaths for next 2 months

How much is one life worth?

I have heard in the UK they don't change an accident blackspot if the deaths per year saved are less than the cost of fixing it by 2 million GBP per person. The very soft lockdown in HK has resulted in about 250 fewer deaths from flu than normal. Let's say the economy has suffered 2 billion USD. They don't have soft lockdowns in HK because of flu because the lives of 250 people are not worth 2 billion USD, or 8 million USD per person. USA had approx 60k deaths from flu in 2019. So they don't do a 2 trillion USD lockdown for 60k people. So one person in USA is worth less than 33.33 million USD per person.

2030 predictions

2030 predictions in technology As I had a touchscreen colour internet connected smartphone 6 years before the first iphone, a 42" plasma TV about 10 years before they were common and a wifi touchscreen 8 inch tablet 8 years before the ipad, here are some of my tech predictions. Vast uptake of AI in everything. I had TiVo AI in 1999 making TV recommendations. Everything you do online will come with AI recommendations and pre-emptive suggestions - digital assistants are much smarter and actually useful most of times. AI analyses your daily routines and gives reminders without you setting them based on previous data. Like having a real butler. China and USA continue to dominate AI advances. China dominates AI facial recognition. First self driving trucks operate commercially in USA. China launches a self driving city. Road deaths reduced due to self driving. Quantum computers start becoming more reliable and greatly improve total available computing power. TPUs, ASIc, FPGA and GPUs become more prevalent. Computer graphics can now produce 2d videos almost ondistinguishable from reality. Big rise in deep fakes. This makes video and photographic evidence less useable in court cases as convincing fakes are so cheap and easy to make. Rise of fake video news. Businesses and quality of life for almost everyone improves due to cheaper and more powerful computing power. Most poor countries now able to rise out of poverty base lines due to improved world economy thanks in part to quantum computing and general advances in processors. 5G goes mainstream, replacing 4G. Self driving cars in some city centres - human driven cars banned in those areas. Surgeons and dentists use 5G to perform work using robots Most menial jobs starting to be replaced by smart robots or kiosks. Cashierless stores become more common. Cryptocurrency gets 5 times current adoption, paper currency use drops by 20% as payments mostly made by smartphones. Driving licences, public transport passes, credit cards all go mainly digital and connected to your phone. Bitcoin and Ethereum evolve and develop quantum resistance and remain hack proof, though 3rd party software and centralised exchanges remain vulnerable to human insider hacks. Almost all high end smartphones are foldable or rollable and convert into tablets. Multi Terabyte storage, 256GB Ram, 64 core cpu and dedicated raytracing GPU common in phones. 6G wireless network planned. Folding smartphones replace small tablets, and big tablets start to replace laptops. Most laptops become multi function tablets. VR makes big headways, and good systems only cost 200 USD. Playstation 6 and Xbox 5th gen consoles do 120fps with ray tracing at 8k resolution. 5G game streaming becomes common. Valve finally announce they will release a game with 3 in the title. Sony continues to dominate professional camera market by using AI and smart features. Tesla dominates electric car market. Electric cars make up 10% of all sales. Standard car screens are 18 inches with many other big screens across the whole dash and HUD, autopilot,360 view is standard Smart watches become more useful due to foldable or rollable displays that enlarge. Start of new battery technologies and greater uptake of solar. Electric cars fitted with solar roofs as efficiency now makes them feasible. Better alternative batteries to Lithium Ion start to appear in commercial use. Hopefully nuclear fusion becomes viable - solving all our energy needs - making enough energy so cheap we can completely eliminate poverty, send a colony to Mars, make air,car travel 200 times cheaper Everyone will have affordable multiroom audio systems like i had with Sonos in 2004. Highdef audio streaming and 4k video streaming is common. Increased cheap computing power and blockchain tech enable governments to become more demicratic (if they want) as election and referendum costs drastically reduced. UK partially rejoins EU due to mainly economic reasons, though migration is less of an issue in a more digital world. Number of digital nomads rises significantly. Big tech companies face government mandated split and breakup as they stifle competition once they are too big, just like the big oil companies a century before. Facebook hits 3 billion active users per month, up from 2.3 billion in 2019. Youtube not far off as well. So approx 37% of the entire world population or about 50% OF ALL ADULTS! Big increase in technology is main factor in preventing world recession despite banks and governments over printing money and/or creating it out of thin air (quantitative easing). Zombie companies propped up by fiat currency handouts will continue to fail as technologically better competitors take away their business and customers Commercially available neural interfaces become common for people with disabilities. People without disabilities also use them to improve on the speed of data operations compared with using traditional smartphones and computers AI starts to be able to make significant creativity gains in the fields of music and art and remain vastly superior to humans in almost everything else TLDR: the world is changing at its fastest rate in buman history and this will be a force feedback loop so will change even more from 2030 to 2040 than from 2020-2030 China's social credit AI system might turn into the Chinese version of Cyberdyne and decide to take control of the world - re-watch the first 3 Terminator movies :)

Instead of protesting on the streets they are protesting in a virtual world

grow your own food

Probably a good idea to grow your own food (google 'indoor garden' if you don't have a garden). Exponential growth of the virus will affect food supply chains

Sadly exponential growth predictions are very bad if no vaccine or more lockdowns

Can This Deadly New Virus Destroy the Human Race?

Looks like super spreaders can spend a month without showing symptons. Unfortunately it means quarantine period should not be 14 days - it should be 30 days.

The super spreader at the Singapore conference has shown no symptons for a whole month

A safer alternative to shaking hands

I know this might sound crazy, but if everyone on the planet gave each other a thumbs up (without touching) or gentle butt bump instead of shaking hands or a kiss on the cheek would we save hundreds of thousands of lives from flu and other viruses? Hugs would be ok so long as you don't touch faces or cough or sneeze. Of course if you are getting intimate or share a room with the person this would not make any difference as whatever they have you will get anyway.

This doctor seems to know his stuff

tweaked model. Numbers are lower.

Don't buy n95 or better masks as medical staff on frontline don't have enough

these people are risking their lives for you so don't buy or use N95 or higher grade masks unless you need it for your job. There is not enough supply at the moment.

Dont panic everone it's just a model

This is just a model. With time we get herd immunity so numbers will eventually drop off. This model predicts 1.5 million deaths per year compared to 690k for influenza, and influenza keeps repeating every year, whereas most other new viruses don't last after first year

Coronavirus model. Prediction at midnight end of Feb 9th :44631 and 939
