1. Chattanooga, TN isn't exactly "rural" 2. How large is each "diagnostic medical image"? I can't imagine this being in the order of TB a. An existing 5G/LTE or satellite internet is perfectly serviceable for even GBs…
Contrarian opinion: What exactly is the point of "fast" internet? Most people use the internet for entertainment, people can survive watching Netflix at 1080p/720p, it isn't debilitating. If I'm wrong in my assessment,…
There are tons of Youtube channels and Reddit threads dedicated to clones. My protocol is, if the originals sell at outrageous prices, I go for clones. They are good enough for me.
Lol, same here
> Online is how you reach the largest audience So? Is this going to cause any change in the government's behavior: No. This is the literal definition of a paper tiger.
> In my WeChat feed, I've seen a lot of panic This is the problem, everything is hush hush or online. No one has the _____ to stand up and say this is not right. I'm only contrasting this with democratic govts. (However…
I am talking about Chinese citizens criticizing the Chinese govt. __in China__ the same way as American citizens can criticize the American govt. in America, if it wasn't obvious. And by criticizing I mean openly…
Sure, but people can openly criticize the US govt and it's policies. Can they do this in China? A sense of national pride should not trump objectivity.
> I just hope Chinese people realise that the censorship of their protests about this is exactly the same as the censorship of Dr Li. It’s the same system run by the same people for the same reasons. They are so brain…
> Chinese social media has been awash with anger over the death of the whistle-blower How about going out to protest? Oh wait, you can't...bravo for your virtue signalling.
Doesn't matter what his ethnicity is, if he doesn't produce (whatever that definition is: stock price, technology output, new market etc.) he'll be kicked out. At the CEO level, nepotism does not work (unless he has a…
Yeah right. I was in Beijing last week, how in the world is China ranked alongside India in terms of English proficiency? I could hardly find anyone even at the Beijing Capital airport to speak a coherent English…
> You’re not unmotivated. You’re not lazy. You’re not bored. You are afraid. Well put. Being afraid of failure is the root cause.
You can nitpick. But I'm pretty certain most, if not all, African Americans who worked for racists were fired if they found out that they were part of the civil rights movement. As Jordan Peterson says, clean up your…
Finally common sense prevails! Get to work on time, eat your free lunch, work, go home. To those of you who disagree; if you want to "make a difference" take a cue from Gandhi, Mandela, Martin Luther king Jr. etc.…
Throwaway account, cool. You're talking as if most, if not all, companies are engaging in R&D at the level of the Apollo 11 space mission. You don't need brilliant people in most cases, merely having honest, diligent,…
I'm not sure where you are located but come to the SF Bay area. You'll find tons of them in every company.
Yes and no. There is a stark difference between Texas and California (I've lived in both states). Here's a recent story shared by a friend who moved from CA to TX: He took his son (who are Indians) and another bunch of…
Please travel around the world (alone or with family/friends); unfortunately we live in this bubble of tech, politics, 24/7 news cycle that it makes us irritable/depressed. I wouldn't say I'm depressed, I work at a…
Well put. I grew up in the UAE where xenophobia/racism is rampant. If you really want to see white privilege in action and more shockingly, out in the open, move to any Arab country.

Funny coincidence, there was a new grad hire event yesterday at "The Patio" in Palo Alto. FB don't seem to be having a problem hiring new grads despite what this article says.
Thanks for the information!
