I have no productive words to share other than positive feelings and kind empathy to you @sberens. I've gone through this manufacturing route in China before about 10 years ago and…

This is nothing sort of amazing. Great f*cking work. No exaggeration - this almost brought tears to me...

Perhaps I am an isolated incident and honestly hope for the sake of the community that it is. But they followed up with an email to my personal email tied to my personal email from…

I also thought it was a scam call but they followed up with an email to my personal email tied to my personal email from sign up from @business.fb.com domain per their help center …

Indeed it is. I too thought that perhaps it was a scam. But the call was followed up by an email from business.fb.com and per their Help Center, it is indeed from Meta https://www.…

Correct - My personal number is nowhere to be seen anywhere on the business account.

I run a couple of businesses with ad accounts connected to my personal account. I received multiple calls this morning on my personal cell that's used for 2FA for my personal FB ac…

I think that I actually 'L - O - L' at most three times a year when reading on my computer. "cut off your finger and work even harder." is the best one yet!

Ha! This is good! XD

I regularly tell people this - that Coinbase really could have "died being the hero" but instead has "lived long enough to see yourself become the villain"

I'm not sure what's evoking more emotion in me now because of the comments here: Me being angry at the fact that many comments show an inherent but unconscious racism or Me resigne…

Multiple people in my last organization fit this bill. Worse, these bad actors are somehow able to leverage their incompetency to be branded as 'thought leaders' themselves. Its co…

This is by far the most effective workplace environment and arrangement I have experienced as well, for teams and large companies - almost like physical 'pod' structures

Coincidentally, in my research paper, it's found that one of the deciding factors that VCs and Accelerators choose/invest in companies is actually how much they 'like' people or fo…

Fair point, though there's no way that her site would have taken off without the misleading blurb. In an essentially culturally Confucian China, the task of naming a child is commo…

Moonwalking with Einstein -Definitely. Also Brain Rules is a good one as well. I would be cautious with Cal Newport's books and take it with a box of salt, however. To be fair, I o…

I'm curious to find out how many people on HN actually meditate, given its 'popularity' with media and how it gets attention on HN. Also, where you learnt it from, book, online, ze…

I remember reading somewhere that Peter Jackson was directing Lee on how to sound when stabbed in the back...Lee promptly told him No. That is in fact not how he sounds when he is …

I slowly saw all of my Samsung-fan co-workers/partners transition to iPhones or atleast other Androids during my 2 year stay in Beijing. Ancedotal evidence at best but the quality …

I visited this Bakery twice - once to potentially buy bulk, another time as part of a business case study. All the employees, atleast the ones I observed working the floor, were al…

Having worked and traveled extensively in China, I couldn't find a single person that had good things to say about Xiaomi, other than its price. Western media seems to be fixated o…

'Business' is a large topic - anything in particular? Marketing? Finance? Customer Development? Management? etc? Books that I'd recommend: Anything by Peter Drucker, The Five Dysfu…

This is an excellent service/Chrome extension that I have been proudly been using for over two years (I think...) I donated then and I will donate now again. Keep up the great work…

This is hardly news at all. It seems a China-tech article pops up every few months talking about relatively the same thing, awe, amazement, efficiency, whatever it may be. Its not …
