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

The bricks and wall thickness are designed to absorb heat and release them in the evening though. Not sure if it can work the other way around.

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.

Some YouTube Premium subscribers complain of seeing ads
u/Dangerous-Pizza7054 from the article,
Seems like the user tracking "special promotion" overrides the premium. They don't even say whether it's expected or not. But my take away is that paying for premium may or may not show you ads, but you are definitely tracked and harvested for data. (Maybe even more so, since, well, you are more valuable to them.)

The US bans all new foreign-made network routers
So consumer grade routers are a security risk, but not ISP switches or server routers? That's the opposite of what a state level actor would look for.
