I second this. You may hate the butterfly keyboard but I love it. So claiming the design has clearly failed is a little bit of a stretch.

By Bay Area standards, you work for a super shitty company.

Well, you heard wrong. Both places are much hotter in the summer than the bay area.

It's actually the opposite. Every comment not critical of China gets downvoted quickly. Proof: comments on this article and other articles critical of China, remotely or overtly.

I don't really follow your thinking. When you said "Any country that can afford not to depend on someone they might not completely trust now or decades in the future is foolish to do so." I believe by "any country" you were referring to the U.S. But when you said "China has many more restrictions on foreign competition in far less sensitive areas than their communications networks.", you seemed to completely ignore your rhetoric that "any country" (say China?) would be foolish to not put restrictions on foreign competition if they don't trust them. I guess you like to have your cake and eat it too.

Speaking of significant political differences, NASA has been partnering with Russia and nobody seems to have a problem with that.

In the novel, the three-body civilization would go extinct if there are two or three suns in the sky.

Are you saying the Cultural Revolution has largely destroyed China's cultural heritage? If so I'll have to disagree with you.

Most Americans don't know there's a subeconomy in the U.S. where Chinese merchants buy items from retail stores and sell them to customers in China. The successful ones hire people to shop in stores. What do they buy? iPhones, diapers, baby formula, LV purses, lottery tickets...

“Don't be evil"? Let's see if there's an uproar by Google employees this time. My bet is on "fat chance".

Do you in good consciousness support the U.S. government? I'm asking because the government doesn't recognize Taiwan as an independent country and kicked Taiwan out of the United Nations in 1971.

Add men's tennis to that list. As we speak it's being dominated by three players who are over 30 (Djokovic 31, Nadal 32, Federer 37!!!). We are not saying they are still competitive but rather they are absolutely crushing everybody else including the youngin's. Even more phenomenal is that all three of them are candidates for THE GREATEST male athlete who has ever graced tennis fields.

This was simply unimaginable even a couple years back when for decades ATP tennis had been considered a 20-something year olds' game.

Thanks for doing this. There's an error on page 2 though: 0 = 1^2 + g - g@ It should be 0 = 1 + g^2 - g@

I think you are confusing immigration with entering a foreign country.

Doesn't really matter because they are legal immigrants.

Deprecated?

1. $100k is a lot of money for most of the folks here. Simply put, I can't afford to lose $100k on a bet but Sam can.

2. Even if I won the bet (impossible because I'm not a VC), I would not gain anything financially. So what's in it for me?

3. If he changes the terms to $100 a pop and winner gets to keep loser's $100 then I'm game.

No, thank you!

Yes, it does because it's a number of net loss. Nobody buys a business to lose money.
