I'm curious as to why he's agreeing to this. There is no universe in which American politicians will agree to any compromise that TikTok can offer and even if they would, they won't do it in front of a camera. They will just

Wut. I don't know of a single entity on earth, government or private, legal or illegal, that wouldn't accept US dollars in some form or other. I wouldn't say the same about Bitcoin, much less other forms of crypto.

Um what. Last I checked Asians were definitely a racial minority in America. Saying they're not minorities because they're a majority of TJ is like saying Blacks aren't minorities because they're a majority in Harlem. It

The "best school" reputation was built over many years. The woke mismanagement is recent. It's actually a pretty easy reconciliation but I admit I have some context on TJ.

The glory of discovery will echo through the ages. Radio astronomy was invented in the Holmdel Bell Labs. I remember reading a story of a scientist that had discovered a new element. He sprinkled it on his father's grave saying that it

Jesus that packaging and name is bland. If you swapped the nationalities of the respective companies, people would be screaming "cheap knockoff".

Mild shock. Of course if you argued that side previously you were obviously a racist or something.

Boy, I didn't think anything would get me to cheer on Zuckerberg and this metaverse BS but then I read this article. So many words just to say "halp I'm losing money".

How much of it is regretted vs. unregretted? The article mentions that a lot of it is low tech manufacturing and it has long been the goal of China to move up the value chain.

Oh God I don't want to click that. I've seen one photo on wikipedia of a woman with a sword in her vagina and I did not need that. EDIT: Although I do not want to see it, perhaps I should and I regret this has been flagged. The Ja

Stadia was prepared for a future that was promised and not delivered on time: ubiquitous (mmWave) 5G. A lot of folks point out that Stadia doesn't make sense because you'd be tied to locations with stable Internet. That wasn'

Haha, when you put it like that, I can totally see why the interviewer was "awesome" and let the guy stay on. He was totally there for the drama.

How often is this some govt prosecutor trying to save face after realizing they were wrong? I.e., okay you're not a criminal but how about you say you didn't dot your i's and cross your t's in some bullshit paperwork and

I'm actually with you. I don't have romanticism towards small book sellers and would personally be okay with Amazon dominating that industry. If I had a small bookstore, I would turn it into a private members club and charge an an

I had heard that the Boeing bird of prey was named after the Klingon bird of prey but hadn't seen a picture. Now I see why.

Is it really not uncommon for a manager (even a new one) to manage a singleton? That has always felt like an antipattern to me. On my team I would not mint a new manager unless they had at least 2-3 reports.

As much as I hate the Adam Neumann type of leader (i.e Nothing but hype), he did make WeWork a household name synonymous with office space and the gig economy. When I need to rent an office the first time, WeWork was the first to come up m

I would argue we have examples now: Google Research, Deepmind, MSR, IBM Research, AT&T Labs, FAIR... I would argue that all their combined achievements don't add up to Bell Labs'. (IBM Research Zurich as a couple of Nobels I t
