Hong Kong Chaos

Over a million people protested the proposed Extradition Law to China and it has met with police violence. It was on world news for may be a couple days then the world focus on other news as the chaos go on. Week after week there are new conflicts as the Hong Kong people demand full withdrawal and resignation of the Chief Executive and releasing the arrested.

A million people marching for something is remarkable. It all rooted from someone who killed his girlfriend in Taiwan and fleed back to Hong Kong. What should be done about this guy? There is law that explicitly say can't take this guy back to Taiwan (and China). Oh so let's change that to fix a loop hole is the original plan. The problem is people mistrust China and afraid anyone can be taken back without a fair trial.

So there was protest met with violence. and the law is not officially stopped. And protest go on with more strange police and thug cooperation in endless revenge.

There is no clear ending in sight as both the protesters and police-backed-by-mainland-forces are turning violent. Peaceful protest only work when public opinion get shifted. When both sides are firm only who has the biggest fist win.

This is causing unimaginable damage to Hong Kong's future. People would stop coming (to spend money). Foreign investments may start leaving. How do you restore trust between people and the police?

The wisest thing to do is stop the protests. Give it a break. Calm down a bit. Don't get hurt anymore.

Strike is going to be next move. What other self inflict damage tactics do you have left? Hunger strike? Then what. Jump into the Victoria Harbour?

So just what to do with that murder case? No one even talking about that. How can justice to be brought?

There is hope if entire China up rise demand freedom from big-brother-watching, fair trial and the guys up on top actually grant such wishes.

But the billions apparent fine with what they got so at this moment. Hong Kong protests will just be met with violence until they stop.

Why not stop voluntarily? Fix up the brutal police and go on with your lives

Viral math problem reached my news feed

A problem baffled mathematicans and physicians. https://nypost.com/2019/08/01/viral-math-problem-baffles-mathematicians-physicists/.

Wow, I'm like it must be complex.

But it is just:

8÷2(2+2)

Come on. evaluate the parentheses first. 2+2=4. Still parantheses 8 ÷ 2(4). So you do it. So you have 8 ÷ 8 = 1.

Elementary school stuff. What is to argue.

Well the argument is should you do 8 ÷ 2 first. Gee. look at that parantheses 2(4). It begs to get evaluated first.

Answer is 1. Not 16. Stop arguing. Arithmetic isn't ambiguous.
