Given the sensitivity on 5G, I'm not really sure Apple or Broadcom ever really had a choice.
Various regulators probably wouldn't let Apple use 5G components produced outside of a [TBD democratic ally of the US]

There are also studies about generational poverty, medical literature on helping people recover from traumatic conditions, etc..
Not to read any bad intent in your comment, but there also have been studies about social darwinism that have a long track record of problems. I think people do still do studies about genetic inheritance etc., but it's probably impossible to draw society-level conclusions without data.
It'd be interesting legal territory if someone has tried this already.
IMO there's no way those profits last more than a quarter until everything breaks. But yeah, maybe it is technically profitable tomorrow.
What kind of bets was Alameda making? Why would it need so much leverage?
I understand why loaning money to Alameda could be rationalized a risky, but not sketchy move (if Alameda posted collateral, paid reasonable terms like anyone else would, etc.).
This seems like a potential red herring.
If you bought a $100k home which then dipped to $80k during Covid, would you accept an unsolicited bid of $90k?
It's reasonable for some people to take the bid, since you could arguably buy another comparable house for $80k and pocket the $10k difference, but I think a lot of other people would reasonably choose not to.
(I'm not totally sure if this logic scales to board rooms / billions of dollars, but curious to hear thoughts.)
Facebook, of course, can hire biased independent fact checkers. At least Facebook is not 100% determining truth of everything on their own.
I'd guess they would have used some other excuse to block Facebook sooner than later anyways though.
On Facebook, I see potentially divisive posts from friends with very different political views. The difference with TikTok is that those friends don't post content.
I think if you explicitly seek out problematic content you can end in a rabbit hole on any large algorithmic app.
I don't know what the referenced video is, or if it is a deepfake though.
From what I've heard on Chinese social media, there are a bunch of plausible sounding theories.
For a lot of jobs in China, it's expected that there's moderate incompetence or grift.
For example, say the lab has a bunch of extra animal samples (mice, bats, w/e). Someone in the cleaning staff could make a few extra $ by selling those samples to a wholesaler at the local wetmarket (to be turned into dogfood, etc.); maybe they only meant to sell the clean samples, but got things mixed up.
there's are years of inefficient labor from students, residents, fellows, and junior doctors on procedures they'll never do again (because they relatively cheap)

His goal is just pretty different. He's presenting the mathematical / intuitive foundation that underly more advanced models (probably for the purposes of academic classes).
A lot of commonly understood stuff you mention (like reputation) is hard to define in the rational math of game theory, especially when you start layering real-world complexity like incomplete information.
See Kreps Milgrom Roberts Wilson (1981) for a fun example from two recent Nobel Prize winners on how hard this gets (and why it's useful to understand Matt Jackson's intro if you want to get into academic / theory stuff) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0022053182...
it's not so much that wealth is bad, but tax evasion and money laundering (from organized crime, corruption, etc.) is bad.

Sometimes, you have to trust the quality of the journal and biostatistician if you aren't able to read everything yourself.
We know that:
- Traffic and increased carbon emissions are a growing problem around the world
- Many communities struggle with last-mile transportation
- Bikes and public transportation can solve some of these issues, but still leave gaps.
We're building a scooter sharing service that can transform cities and improve accessibility.
We're growing quickly, with plenty of learning/growth opportunities and a great engineering + leadership team.

If Google went through all the investment to build an ISP, bid on spectrum, etc., it'd be silly for Google to at least not cautiously/optimistically aim for the main prize of the market.
It seems more likely that competition was too costly, and it was fine falling back on the modest goal of prodding the market forward.
He would also be generally pragmatic, likable, and qualified.
(Perhaps the departure was predicated on Obama agreeing in advance)
Or am I totally misreading this?
any idea if qwant does this?
It is likely incredible hard to do well by themselves from now, but there's a chance they could pay Google for an API.
There's a similar network effect and economy of scale that applies to Waze + Google Maps' lead in mapping.
