We do, but this is at a different, unprecedented scaled. As China vies for world hegemony, our future may look very bleak if China's Orwellian views are imposed at a global level.

You can just not wear your band and not exercise and pay the increase in premium. It seems like the bands come regardless to drag the horse to the water. If you don't want to drink, they won't compel you to. What's wrong wit

What's wrong with Twitter? It's clearly paid off for the VCs, has grown, and is profitable. It didn't become the next Google or the rightful FB competitor (like analysts predicted) but it's doing well in its own right. E

I was actually referring to the World Bank [0] but feel free to attack me personally. I wasn't initially sure why you shifted to ad hominem all of a sudden but I see that you're on a throwaway for a reason. You don't have a b

How do you think China's technology and education improved so drastically just a few decades after the cultural revolution? It was the US giving its technology, military weaponry, college education, etc. to Chinese nationals. Their ent

You're really trying to drive your point with Hollywood taking its profits in China. Do you know what kind of hoops they have to jump through to access that market? Take Gravity for instance. The reckless nation that shoots down the sa

That's literally impossible. What level did you get hired at? I'm assuming at least 5 given your background/exp? That's more than 300k EZ unless you're talking about salary only.

That seems to be almost too high. Vitamin D is fat soluble and you're taking way more than the RDA of 600 IU. Even at 6000 IU, which you suggest is optimal, you're taking 2x. I'm not a doctor either but have you consulted you

How are you going to cash that out? Do you want to hold onto a lifestyle company shares when there's no potential liquidity event in discussion? I'm not going to exercise my options in that situation and you'd be crazy to pay

I realize that it's the article's title, but this seems misleading. The bug testers were contractors working under the temp agency Lionbridge Technologies Inc. After they won their right to unionize, they were eventually laid off

It seems like this might be the precursor to doing a real test (probably small/regional) with a real brand. If the response was extremely negative I'd think that they'd shelve it altogether.

Really? If anything I would say that the rule of thumb (anecdotal) is 1 mg / lb. Smaller girls I knew would be fine with 100mg doses and big dudes would need about 200mg or so. Most people would do 125mg - 150mg.

Not saying 9 hours isn't right for you, but if you track yourself using a device like Fitbit, you may be surprised by how much less you're actually sleeping. I used to equates 8 hours of in-bed time to roughly 8 hours in sleep but
