How is MS a perfect example of your claim? It's proves even US company without much friction operating in China might not succeed. It had nothing to do with China closing off the market. Except the one really banned (google & fb et

That's not 100% true. Amazon and (previously) ebay operate in china without problem but don't get a chance facing alibaba. Microsoft also do things fine. Uber was also there. The market that's really closed off are mostly lim

What if instead of adding a soda bottle, they recognize there's a soda bottle in your friends' posts already and bump those images up in your feed?

In the first year after graduation, I get emails from (different) google recruiters pretty much every month. One thing I see multiple times is they include a "best work place ranking" link and google is ranked #1. One time, after

I graduated from a top 5 CS program, and no we don't do that.

I second this, but most google recruiters are pretty terrible. Some are so disrespectful that I have to tell someone to put my profile into google blacklist so they don't bother me anymore.

I believe what he means is he work remotely for a SF company and gets SF pay.

I think that's exactly the case. From the picture there seems to be a mechanical password lock on the umbrellas. I guess how it works is: You can the QR code -> pay thru app -> received password, input the password on umbrella -&

You should checkout how Tencent build its empire in china from QQ. That's more like where facebook learned from.

Nothing really. I don't have twitter, my linkedin is just like my online profile page, i haven't log on to facebook for years. The most "social" apps on my phone are probably yelp, google map and email. Honest I don&#x27

Those ads are just ignored overtime. But I'm talking about things like a big budget well made video ads about your favorite car/brands etc before every youtube video you're going to watch in the next week.

I honestly don't think there're many people who is "willing to tolerate a degree of advertising" even though a lot of people say so. Enable ad blocker is sooooooooo easy compare to watching even "good" ads. A w

There're many RTB platforms (hundreds of them) specialized in different ad format and area. For example, some are good at mobile app ad, some are good at video ad, some are good at targeting user behavior. One common rule to perform we

Most online ads today are not aimed for direct sale or click, but more for impression. When you have big budget to deliver hundreds of millions of impressions, it CAN work.

That's what I think is shady. The image gives you a feeling the surface is way thinner than macbook pro. But down below they mentioned the new macbook pro (with touch bar) in the chart. If people are not paying attention they can get m

The image on the top of the page seems to feature a 2nd gen macbook pro (the one before retina display). Hmm, a bit shady...

Not only from government contracts. I remember watched a news clip years ago which interviewed the owner of a local ISP in midwest, who tried to use huawei's equipments and got FBI knocking his door. I see your point of huawei cloning

When I was in China early this year, they use baidu map on my iphone version. It looks like there was a partnership between baidu and uber back then. There's even a "get Uber" feature build inside Baidu Map app back then.

I don't think amazon will start selling car now or in the near future. The subtitle below "amazon vehicles" logo says "see specs, read reviews and ask owners". It looks like it's just a forum kind of thing at t

This happened in china before with didi and kuaidi. User used to get discounts like 10 yuan off the first ride every day. And the result is those two companies merged. But with competition law here in US I'm curious to see what's

by tomtang0514 10y ago
I think the Didi-Uber merge is more of a individual case. Not a reflection of "China vs US". Many people don't know, the head of Uber china and the president of Didi are cousin. So to be honest I'm not surprised at all.

So you're saying you might not pay for low quality content. But the publishers don't think this way. They want to you pay regardless if you like the content or not. It's like going to a restaurant. You can choose never come b

There're 3rd party trackers for ad network such as double verify, comscore, moat. But the technology on this works horribly. For example, if an ad network want to track thru a vpaid, it wraps vpaid on top of ad content and that's
