Fascinating article that suggest two things to me: 1) The impact of such tools is heavily affected by the individual. Sophie's personal awareness and will power seem incredibly strong. As she is the child of a NYT editor, this doesn&#x

I think most people voting / commenting are not actually able to read the article due to paywall. Adding the text so discussion is more substantial. @HN not sure if this goes against any rules, my feelings won't be hurt if the bel

Author is Sequoia's Michael Moritz who has a decent amount of credibility here. I think his last few articles on China have been more around warning US tech companies not to get complacent, rather than trying to convince people that Ch

Do you mean Qualcomm chips and smartphone tech that practically every runs every smartphone in the world? I can see how that would impact ZTE's smartphone business... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualcomm#History

I think the down votes are from your response appearing fairly uninformed. Growth and attrition are a regular part of a person's life cycle at a company. You ask if someone should be promoted both because companies need adept managers

There will probably be a decent amount of skepticism around this acquisition (with fair reason), but I'd like to think of this as an opportunity for Microsoft to demonstrate their respect and commitment to the developer community. I sa

Making mass consumer flagship smartphones and going up against Samsung, Huawei, and Apple is a really tough game, but I'm sure Andy and the team at Essential knew that. I like that there are people who, in the face of giants, pick up t

I've been in this role. It is pretty common at Fortune X00 companies to have its own people have "the answer" or "an answer" but either 1) not have the conviction to bet their careers on it, i.e. don't rock the

Depending on your student loans and rent prices, wouldn't it be? Rent in a major city is $2000/mo. Student loan payments can be in the tens of thousands per year. Assuming a normal tax rate, professors would need to make 6+ figure

The analogy isn't a good one, as you get no value out of the trip to Hong Kong in your scenario. A more relevant analogy is if I offered you $1,200 on the condition you spend that money on a home gym. Could you have other uses for the

I think the defense of "nothing has happened yet" is a tough one to back, in particular given that during the build up to the last recession, 1) collateralized debt was claimed by wall street to be "as good as cash" and

I think perhaps the right way to approach critique of the OP is to provide citations or proof against the author's claims. It isn't a productive conversation to take offense at the general tone. It also shows quite a bit of bias w

The entire founding team has literally no experience (or really any advanced, post college education), outside of working in cafes and small newspapers. CTO's LinkedIn is just this job. Not that experience is tantamount to success, but

It is not great advice. This early on, there is a big difference between someone who comes on as employee #1 vs a co-founder especially in terms of ownership, but not a big difference in terms of risk exposure. If you are positive you'
