Also Supermicro is not even a chinese company. It's based in San Jose and founded by taiwanese american...

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 m…

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 m…

Transfer to Instagram had been a hot thing within FB for quite a while...

Yep, best example: car dealership.

But waze doesn't point out police by itself, waze user did that when they're driving. And I really don't want the drivers in the cars around me doing that...

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 ranki…

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…

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 -> rec…

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,…

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 t…

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…

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…

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 c…

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…

I've been in both situation. I first encountered (2) when I was looking for my first fulltime job back in college. I had little idea of how much I'm supposed to get paid so I told …

They tried, and US government bans Huawei

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" feat…

Yeah their logo is one block away from my apartment so I saw that 7 days a week
