This is the most ridiculous explanation I have read about why Chinese work hard. It’s extremely simple: everybody wants to be successful, and right now because of many reasons, Chinese think they can be successful by working hard. This is

Comparing China's National People's Congress to the US Congress is ludicrous. The NPC holds one annual session lasting less than 2 weeks, and passes legislations often with 99% Yeas. Every Chinese knows that the NPC is largely a s

This. It’s not uncommon to price the common shares differently in tender offers. Facebook did almost the same thing in 2009: DST bought preferred share at $10B valuation and then tender offer at 6.5B [1] [1] http://kara.allthings

Why is this even news? This is the case for pretty much every privately-held company in the valley, because the tax law dictates that [1]. When Pinterest changed their exercise window from 90 days to 7 years, it was big news [2]. When you l

Interestingly, the IRS has a WI80 of 22.6, higher than all the industry averages listed in the article except gaming: the 1% pays 50% of the income taxes, and the top 20% pays 85% [1] [1] https://www.cnbc.com/2015/04&#x

This media then blames everything on Facebook and twitter and google, and write an article everyday about congressional hearing and how Americans are not trusting tech any more.

You are misinformed. If you had followed both companies from the beginning, you would know that Uber started with licensed drivers - even UberX started that way with only cheaper cars - and it was lyft who broke the city ordinances by using

Comparing WeWork to traditional office landlord is like comparing Starbucks to Dunkin' Donut. Please don't go to Starbucks because its coffee is better or cheaper (it's neither), but as a lifestyle choice. Similarly, people d

Not to discount their achievements, but it's important to note that as the content creator (instead of an aggregator or a content platform), it's much easier to have control over the quality of metadata, which is immensely useful

If you look at the changes of carbon emission per country, the U.S. emission has decreased in the last 20 years. China's emission has tripled in the same period: https://cdn.static-economist.com/sites/default/

Equating outdated city-level taxi regulations to universal law punishing murder is disingenuous, to say the least. FTC did a report [1] in 1984 about taxi regulations and pointed out why cities were not well-equipped nor incentivized to r
