and I don’t want to constantly get it mistaken
From a certain point in life, I’ve stopped bothering with this. The name is just a communication tool, people can call me whatever they want as long as I know it’s me.
It might be worth it if there are many chances to use it, but for hotel check-ins, they won’t even remember my name after ten seconds, let alone the correct pronunciation.
That being said, I felt somewhat guilty for not being grateful to some people that actually made the effort to pronounce it correctly (or at least ask and then give up lol).

8 (八 ba) is considered a lucky number in Mandarin due to its pronunciation similar to “fortune” (发 fa). So you get lots of things priced with 8 (also for telephone numbers, plate numbers, etc.)

- Comment on Why is leadership valued so much over expertise? 3 weeks ago:
From the owners’ (shareholders’) point of view, managers are on their side to extract values from workers. Of course there are more nuances in real life, but that’s a more plausible explanation than any of the meritocracy ones.

You mean only entitlement can pass by bloodline and not consequences of crime? Yeah, totally makes sense.

It’s complicated.
Now there’s the “pure” HarmonyOS (previously known as HarmonyOS NEXT) that most new Huawei phones now have preinstalled (at least as an option for foreign market). It doesn’t have AOSP or Linux kernel and thus no compatibility. It just runs native apps (HAP).
Then, historically there’s also a commercial version based on AOSP but removed Google services. You could buy it in a store back then, and it’s compatible with Android apps that doesn’t require Google services (up to a certain version?) Most Chinese apps don’t rely on Google services.
There’s also the open source version OpenHarmony. It was never commercially available. It uses the Linux kernel. I believe part of it was used for the pure HarmonyOS development. It’s said that the micro-kernel architecture was preserved for the pure HarmonyOS, which is quite interesting.

You’re right. In practice it’s somewhat more casual, akin to “No way!”.
“I bought this bag of chips with half the price!” “うそ！”
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Although うそ literally means “it’s a lie”, it should have been translated to “Really?”

From skimming search results, this seems to be an equivalent of infographs in mook format. So this is not a parody.

For Hollywood, I think it’s more about the financialization. Investors don’t want to do risky productions, so we only get the decade old "IP"s rehashed for the thousandth time, rather than independent art experiments.
