If you went to Japan in the 90’s, 00’s or 10’s, you’ll find the issue is that Japan still feels mostly the same. It’s a wonderful country, but post-Japan’s asset bubble and crash t…

LLMs and current AI models are absolutely top priority for the Chinese government, they’re just funding robotics as well

It’s super interesting some platforms in China have discarded view counts and likes in favor of engagement scores, more ways to show a big exciting number to the creators

Or a normal/skinny weight. Even my shoulders are too wide for modern economy seats. I fly a lot of business class, and the comfort and space is what you pay for, not entertainment.…

Of course this is an Amazon spokesperson, but: > A spokesperson for Amazon said it “strongly refutes the suggestion that it is ‘dangerous’ to work for Amazon. Safety is always the …

The traffic in a medium sized NA city like Atlanta or Dallas can be a lot better than it is now, and it's definitely not comparable to Shanghai, London or Tokyo.

Could be just the general deadlock and inability to come to consensus about any long term future threats. Could be AI, climate change, housing crisis, China, etc. But you’re right,…

My hot take: there's a general feeling of looking down on "web devs" or UI/front-end stuff. It's not really necessary to have React for a portfolio site, but it's not really an iss…

Nobody drives in NYC, there's too much traffic But realistically, plenty of folks have cars in NYC. With a metro area of over 20M people, enough people commute into the city, or ar…

Thanks for this!

Also the techbro dream - the marketing has worked for his image, and he's the ideal of a smart, successful, techie, engineer - although realistically he's only one of those

Not OP, but something just feels unnatural and unsettling about changing humans, and especially for changing yourself. It feels like the uncanny valley where it just doesn't feel r…

Most Androids are included in the almost all, even if the chips are made in fabs in Taiwan so many other components have Chinese sourcing

Roughly $45k/car could be luxury depending on what years, yeah. A decade of car selling likely puts it in the 2000's at the earliest.

Staying mid level. Although the "senior" title of yesteryear is closer to the "staff" title of today, even at the top tech firms.

Ah yes, because giving the same information to the Chinese government who don't even need a warrant to access the data is better.

As someone who's been at larger companies for a good portion of my career - this is the expertise at large internet companies that is really difficult to find at most smaller place…

Today I learned, nice

Definitely a bit of Asana culture leaking, IMO

Not sure if Powerpoint was the standard in my circles - hearing a talk being called a Keynote was definitely more common, but maybe this is just a tech/science bias.

I think OP was sarcastic

Full time masters especially with international students are definitely cash cows

China and Taiwan are very very closely economically and culturally linked. The PRC and ROC governments do work together, it's no longer the 1970's.

(forgive me since I did not read your reference) but I recall there were some studies showing that the "health benefits" touted by the "glass of wine a day" studies were strongly c…
