Green Eggs and Ham is a great starter book, but IMHO the greatest of Dr Seuss's many great books is Oh, the Places You'll Go! . His mastery of "simple" English is stunning, kids find it enthralling, and the messages ar

Yes, but that's largely because they serve different purposes. Mozilla's announcement is a press release for external consumption. Carta's post is internal and for employees, and I'm sure there was one of these for Mo

"Could"? We're already in a bubble. Most notably, the Bitcoin price rally coincides with Tether printing out $10B of their "stablecoin", fully backed with what very much appears to be nothing at all. Here's a

Kueh lapis is delicious, but by local standards eye-wateringly expensive due to the effort involved, even when it's just "regular" layer cake and not further remixed like the Sarawak variant. With a minimum wage of RM 1100&#

> the water on the surface is 20% carbon by mass Sorry, can you explain what you mean by this? Are you using "water" figuratively for all liquid, as opposed to H2O?

Ever worked with an enterprise company? I've worked on a project (in a peripheral role, fortunately) where the entirety of the CIO's mandate was to "use AI", full stop. So the team was tasked with putting together a dat

My take from the article is thay if Uber were to currently offer its "driver-partners" benefits like health insurance, they would legally be considered employees, which neither party wants.

There are no stats published, so this is all anecdotal, but it's generally suspected that they operate on some kind of quota basis. The Chinese quota is large (but no longer infinite, esp for mainland Chinese), the Indian/Other q

While earthquakes are frequent in the broader region, Singapore is very seismically stable and sheltered even from tsunamis. For example, the Boxing Day tsunami had zero impact.

Not so: the DPJ was in power from 2009 to 2012, although admittedly they accomplished little and the LDP took over again in 2012.

Not sure why this is being downvoted: Finns themselves joke about having no fashion sense, and the stereotypes is guys in sweatpants with a flask of vodka in the back pocket and women with no makeup. Things have improved over the last 20 y

Q: If a phone number has to be registered and validated, why not use that as the unique ID, instead of creating a separate VPA? For comparison, in Singapore, the local UPI-like "PayNow" network uses numbers as IDs, meaning you can

You've completely forgotten India, which is really the one power that can credibly stand up to China on its own.

I don't see the article being "upset" about anything? If anything Albrecht seems to mostly find the startups comical, at least until they stop paying her bills.

You're comparing apples to oranges here. WeChat is a "superapp" platform for doing distinct things: chat, payments, ticket bookings, etc. Instagram's features, on the other hand, are all purely social networking.
