No. I need it to conduct business, and that's more important to me than posting or discussing controversial topics. People in China literally do not use email, so this is the only effective method to get things done (which I'm tot

The questions that RT talking heads ask are so laced with Kremlin engineered bias that it makes Fox News look borderline academic.

They should police, because they are already in the business of censorship and amplification via the newsfeed product. This entire problem would be minimized if newsfeed didn't rank posts due to engagement. Its easier for trolls to get

I always got the sense that they were always just trying to copy wechat and were envious of all the commerce it captured.

As much as I want Tesla to win, I messed around with the back-seat center cup-holders in a friend's model 3, and they seem to be constructed with extremely cheap plastic that is quite embarrassing.

Its WeChat. Did she really feel like she had a guarantee of anonymity using a Chinese messaging app? That seems seriously naïve.

BMW and Audi literally manufacture their cars in China now. I feel like at this point we are practically giving our IP away.

Didn't the WSJ just have an article today about China shutting down bitcoin mining? Seems like there is a bit of disconnect in the reporting... Source: https://www.wsj.com/articles/china-quietly-orders-closing-of..

Do you have a source for the 60% higher rate? Curious to read more about this.

You can move the cash straight from Mainland, instead of having to get around the 50k/p.p. capital control. This is huge as there are many more people who have money inside of China than in HK bank accounts.

Grew up in Seattle, lived on capitol hill, moved away a few years ago. All the "rough around the edges" components were what gave the city its character. There's a reason, growing up, why people made fun of Bellevue and how l

This is literally why AirBnB is getting beaten in China - the Chinese competitor realized people are going to do this, and is happy making a little less money and acting as more of an introducer.

Perhaps to your surprise, many people in China are okay with certain freedom tradeoffs vs. improvements in other areas of quality of life. Its not an issue that you can easily simplify the more you familiarize yourself with it.

Its not that Rotten Tomatoes is solely at fault for pointing out that movies are low quality, its that Netflix now provides a very simple alternative! Before, if you wanted to see a movie, you'd settle for the best of the worst and sti

Yeah, I was kind of shocked at the level of entitlement displayed here. Pitching VC's is just like any other sales process, and its not uncommon to have a low hit rate, even if you have a good idea. Shocker: most VC's will have a

If you are just looking to allocate to some ETFs by Vanguard, there's really no argument left that you need any of these tools. All you are going to do is by SPY or some other ETF and sit on it. Robinhood is very easy for that.

ETFs can be arbitraged much more efficiently due to creation/redemption features. There are market markers like Jane Street who do a ton of this. The more risky effect is that all stocks in an index become more correlated with it over

Quora does a ton of this in their email newsletters to try and reactivate you! Want to unsubscribe? Okay! We'll just make up a new "round up" newsletter and re-subscribe you. So desperate to stay alive I guess...

Although numerai could control for some of the factors that you mention above, I'm pretty sure they are falling into the data-mining fallacy that most people do when they approach quantitative trading from the outside world. I complete
