I'm fine if TikTok gets banned, but I feel like Facebook and all the other social media incumbents owe Americans a bunch of money for their biggest competition being banned.

Temu (Pinduoduo's American app) appears to be unaffected and is still #1 on the app store and even has an "Editors Choice" badge, but with their parent company risking reputational harm on their main app I would be cautious.

Blog spam will continue to be profitable since all the LLMs have reduced the cost to churn out ok quality texts very quickly. Previously they'd have to hire freelance writers at like $0.05 per word on the low end.

Android has different user agents than Chrome OS, so that should be relatively clean. The larger iPads don't identify differently than Macbook user agents anymore, but the trackers may have been able to separate them based on additiona

They sold off the last of their stake in ASML in 2004. They also sold off the remainder of their stake in TSMC in 2007. If they had kept both stakes, they'd be worth like $140b instead of $15b.

It depends on the benefits, taxes, training they pay for the incremental employees if it's worth it to plan for overtime or hire more people. Foxconn is a massive operation making a tiny profit margin thru contract manufacturing so if

Intel renamed their nodes to align better to the foundries. 10nm is now Intel 7, 7nm is now Intel 4, which would broadly look more aligned in that table if it were updated.

Everything is amplified since the physical space on a screen is much smaller than the field of vision in a store. The real estate on phone is basically 2 products or 4 on laptop at a time for everything. This makes the ads wayyyy more power

The legal arguments on Taiwan are always very complicated, and the Diplomat article you linked to is very careful to specify Republic of China--not China--is the signatory to treaties. It is a very intentional wording as the author of the a

The SATs may not be fully fair, but they are definitely more fair than any other means of judging college applicants. Extracurriculars can make a very mediocre student look amazing, and if you pour enough money into sports, student organiza

My company switched to hot desks and didn't add any restroom capacity even though the peak building population was much higher. It was pretty terrible on days where everyone was there for all hands/townhalls.

I think it's funny that Intel is invoking nationalism when in the last 2 years they have announced hundreds of billions in offshore expansions all over the world (Malaysia, Germany, Israel, Ireland). I might support prioritizing them,
