As everyone drops every kind of requirement in the name of diversity, there is going to be a huge opportunity to set objective evaluation bars and get extremely high performers. The orgs will be 75% Asian though.

I had a friend who was the son of a billionaire who threw elaborate dinner parties at his house and he very generously asked for $20 for each attendee. The food obviously cost more than $20 but paying the $20 made us feel like we weren&#x27

Don't see the advantage of eInk for a digital photo frame. Presumably these stay in one spot and can be left plugged in? Would think that a bright LED display would give much better picture quality.
