Do we know that's why they made the decision? The article makes the claim, but others claimed the updated regulation has been in the works for a while, and it was Ant trying to speed the IPO ahead of it.

I find it interesting the same headline and story can be interpreted as either: 1) Chinese government is totalitarian and corrupt and creating arbitrary rules for people and things they don't like and 2) Chinese government and regulato

Fair enough. So should gun registration be required for it to be carried in public then? So you can buy and keep guns on your private property, but to "operate" it in public you're required to register it. And here in the con

Do you think you shouldn’t need to register your vehicle too? Or obtain a drivers license?

They're also mostly from a very SV bubble point of view. A lot of posts point to the employees not getting very much from the sale. But there are lots of places in the world where employees of small businesses are not granted large equ

Sometimes I think about what would happen if some technology like the Star Trek holodeck or Red Dwarf's better than life game actually existed; specifically when it comes to mating and relationship. Similar to what this article is tal

You can as much as you can buy every car from every car manufacturer. That’s not how a monopoly is defined.

yea there are a few use cases where scan is better. For example when you're too far to comfortably tap, like a drive through / toll station. With a tap you often have to reach over, of they have to bring the terminal out of the wi

This matches my experience. Some of the moving companies I've used have refused to insure Ikea furniture as well, since they have such a high probability of coming apart during the move.

Not sure how common but I know quite a few angel investors that have just been employees at tech companies. Most weren’t even at primarily FAANG companies. Realistically at least by SV income standards, it doesn’t take much to be an entry l

Big internal market might be a part of it. But at least for China, investors do take some crazy bets. I know if many that are pretty head scratching. But in the end, it just takes a few of these crazy bets working out.

if you leave after the initial cliff you're only losing out on future RSU / options vesting, same as future salary you haven't yet earned. Unless your initial equity has gone up a lot in value you're not really leaving a

Certain what came before doesn't have to be what follows. Just that if the majority of unions people know are "bad" then the general view of unions will be negative too. Also it may be a bit of a hint on which way a particula

Anti union messaging or just they are more common place? Lots of examples of unions with rigid rules, corrupt practices etc. But so far everyone only points to the screen actors guild as a counter example. Are there many other unions like i

Can't speak for all unions but my experience with a couple of unions has been like this. One place had a rule where you (the engineer) can only have 1 CAD drawing request out to the CAD department at a time. And of course the CAD depar

If you made a significant contribution (and it certainly sounds like you did) then you should probably have gotten some reward for doing a good job, maybe raise or promotion etc. However just because you increased revenue with you test in n

Some jobs may not have directly attributable monetary contribution but still are needed. But let’s assume we can attach a net dollar amount to each job and the company let’s go people that don’t contribute as much as they cost. Even in this

The problem with this is, if the intern doesn't add any value to the company does the intern not get paid or still gets paid the $40k? What if the intern only added $10k worth of value (however that's measured). Does the intern re

I don't know if it's 100x or 10x, but I assume that's just a figure of speech and used for effect rather than stated as an objective quantity. "The thing with "10x" developers, is often times they (or a group o

Yea but you can’t prove it’s not occurring. All you can show is lack of evidence that it is occurring.

Of course the US isn’t the only country that plays this game. The government also needs to justify it some how, and I don’t even blame them for that. But at least here we can stop pretending there is some sort of objective, consistently app

Let’s not pretend this is anything other than just plain old geopolitics with TikTok caught in the middle. Going by “national security” reasons most countries should ban Facebook and google, not to mention amazon, Microsoft, oracle, Cisco e

How do you exactly prove something isn’t occurring?

The other side of the argument is often how do you keep things objective and consistent across the company, especially when it’s a large company. How do you make sure a “senior engineer” on one team is reviewed on the same criteria as someo

Because "we can do it because some other country does it" is not a good thing. China can, and has arrested US citizens without due process, should we now be able to arbitrarily detain Chinese citizens in retaliation?
