We Sold the Switch and Deleted the Serum to Pay Off the Mortgage Early
In March, Lin Zhao deleted the bottle of serum from her shopping cart. She did not do it fast. She opened the app, looked at the price, looked at her bank balance, then tapped the early repayment calculator. She entered the remaining principal, the rate, and the amount. The screen gave her a number: 117,000 yuan in interest saved. She stared at it. Then she backed out, returned to the cart, and deleted the serum. Her finger stayed over “Delete” for about five seconds. She locked the phone, stood up, and went to wash the dishes.

Bankruptcy Is Neither Heaven Nor a Kill Line
Two claims are popular on the Chinese-language internet when it comes to personal bankruptcy. One says American bankruptcy is a “one-click debt wipeout and a fresh start.” The other says bankruptcy is a “kill line”: once you fall below it, you never get back up. Each claim contains half a fact. As an institutional judgment, neither is honest enough. The first ignores Section 523(a)(8) and the Brunner test for student loans. The second treats the worst outcome as the norm. The more useful move is to separate two questions: what can American bankruptcy actually do, and what can it not do? What does China’s enforcement procedure actually protect, and what does it lack?

NVIDIA’s Founder Has Power. He Doesn’t Have a Lock.
The boundaries of founder authority: NVIDIA governance through a speculative “Huang handover” scenario Status note: This article is governance commentary. It uses a speculative scenario that has circulated online. In reality, Jensen Huang remains NVIDIA’s CEO, Colette Kress remains CFO, and NVIDIA has announced no leadership change. The scenario’s claims about a $250 billion financial guarantee for an OpenAI Ohio data-center project, later cut to about $105 billion to $120 billion, and a 97% internal employee poll urging Huang to stay lack reliable public sourcing. Public reporting is closer to a proposed NVIDIA investment intent of up to $100 billion in OpenAI. That is not a financial guarantee for an Ohio data-center project. The scenario is useful for the governance questions it raises.

How to Ask for a Raise (and Actually Get One). AI-Generated.
Most people never ask for a raise. They wait for their boss to notice their hard work, or they hope the annual review brings a surprise bump. Here's the truth: waiting is the worst strategy there is. Companies don't hand out raises for good behavior. They hand them out when someone makes a case, or when someone threatens to leave. If you want more money, you have to ask for it, and you have to ask the right way.

I In the autumn of 2025, Sun transferred 4.08 million yuan out of his mobile banking app in three transactions. The first was 2 million, the second 1.5 million, the third 580,000. After the last transfer, a message from his restaurant supplier popped up, asking whether the payment for goods could be settled early. He dismissed it, switched back to his gold account, and looked at the holdings page: 1,167 yuan per gram, all 4.08 million yuan in it.

Three Squirrels Is Paying More to Be Seen and Less to Be Chosen
In January 2026, Three Squirrels raised the ex-factory prices of some nut gift products in its offline distribution channel. The products included pistachios, almonds, sunflower seeds, and dried mango. The increase ranged from 0.2 yuan to 10 yuan per item. A regional distributor said two things on the phone: although the increase covered only some New Year products and came with a buffer period, it “could easily cause customer loss”; and “since last year, consumers have not been very willing to pay for high-end products.”
