Bailing out SoftBank is different from bailing out Vision fund, I'm sure Vision fund will burn on its own.

Google and FB could charge for this in the future, but for now they have to go with the free option. Nobody will switch from Zoom to their offers if it costs the same amount of money.

I would say it's a positive feedback loop. PAP is the main party, so young talents are more likely to join, which in turn makes PAP stronger.

My theory is people who want to join politics, do it for power, for money, for status. Put yourself in their shoes, which party would you affiliate with to set yourself up? PAP also have an extensive network of grassroot organizations to re

No, it's certainly not faked. There is no viable oppositions, the reason for this is a whole different story. Many of my Singaporean friends would GLADLY vote for an opposition party to keep PAP in check but they simply don't matc

As long as you don't go against the government, it's pretty close to perfect. It's a different system, and it works. Many people think a country needs to follow Western's steps to be a good country, but maybe there are m

Anyone can register an account on developer.apple.com, for free. I doubt there are 20 mil paid accounts for the developer portal.

Maybe spin up an instance on GCE or EC2 and remote into it? If you live anywhere near a data center it should be under 50ms delay. Your time is certainly worth more than whatever the cost of the instance.

Didn’t they have the chance to buy Facebook for 1B too but they reduced their offer at the last minute and Zuckeberg said no? I’m convinced the people at Yahoo didn’t know what they were doing and both Google and Facebook would fail spectac

To stream 4K contents you only need 20-30Mbps. But for any kind of big download (game updates, OS updates, etc), being able to finish in less than 5 minutes is fantastic.

This works for 35mm but for 120 film you need to capture multiple times and stitch them.

Yup. “My model for business is The Beatles. They were four guys who kept each other kind of negative tendencies in check. They balanced each other and the total was greater than the sum of the parts. That's how I see business: great th
