This is usually the side effect of people running too fast. Slow it down- even if you feel like speed walkers can pass you.

Or you actually hate running.

I usually append 'reddit' to my google searches. It doesn't necessary provide better results but I love the plain text format.

This sounds pretty cool. Hope you share it when it’s finished!

Anytime you do business with China your essentially doing business with the CCP.

We would all like China to be a positive part of the global community but the fact of the matter is you can't ignore their overall policy. A possible genocide against the ethnic Uighurs, aggressive expansion in the South China Sea, normalization of censorship and suppression, treatment of Hong Kong & Taiwan: all of which are a complete contrast of Western values.

Could China force Tesla to sell Chinese operations? Absolutely. I don't think any one would be surprised. Companies that enter the Chinese market (if they can in the first place) are subjected to getting a smaller piece of the pie from the start.

Facebook has relentlessly tried to tap the Chinese market but are blocked by the CCP. So why does TikTok get a free pass to the American market? Why does __any__ Chinese company get a pass?

I think we need to continuously evaluate our relationship with China.

A rather hyperbolic comment. We don't do business with Iran- simple as that.

They don't want to feel Bezos wrath.

Not trying to be insensitive but it is a peculiar death and a first.

I don't like this because they may unknowingly introduce a biased form of triage.

I disagree with this. While it may be sometimes true, it is certainly a good thing that there are checks and balances to treatment. Otherwise providers of care are able to get a blank check. That is part of the problem now- say a physical therapist prescribes 5 sessions a week @ $300 per session but in reality the patient only needs 2 sessions a week. Insurance companies provide a checks/balance system with the ability for care providers to fight back when insurance companies deny care.

Assuming your distrust is true then the article's point of attacking profits is futile.

Or Michael Scott.

Good, right? This allows the consumer to make the decision without distracting GitLab from product building.

I've been able to unlock my iPhone 11 in nearly complete darkness.

Try unlocking your phone when it is flat on the table.

Bloomberg is honestly no longer credible.

I doubt SpaceX would be a thing if Elon didn't have engineering capabilities.

Is there any reason to believe it would be happening now if he didn't exist?

Glad to see China backed the compromise. Definitely the best outcome.

How do you determine market size? It seems like it's an inflated best guess for a relatively unique product.

Yep, exactly double.

I don't mean that as a matter of fact but a matter of personal opinion. I am as likely to go there as N. Korea.

I would not go in their current state. It's only one rung above visiting N. Korea in my opinion.

I am extremely critical of their government but China has beautiful nature and culture. I would love to visit if it wasn't so Orwellian.

You mean like the pirate bay?

Honestly, I don't think that applies to the situation in the article. The gross receipts tax is hindering them from being globally competitive. Companies like Salesforce, with it's huge gross margins barely get taxed anything while companies with minimum margins are being taxed on every sale. It seems like SF over regulation will push fintech companies to pretty much anywhere else.

The glaring issue would be permissions ie who can see what. Pull requests could get muddied up but that probably wouldn't be too much of a problem to overcome. Some foundational git protocols would have to be adjusted, like .gitignore.

I think it's a great way for start up to manage the business but as more people get hired the organizational complexity might be too much to bear.

I really like the idea of monolithic repos but can see some downsides when there is more than one person working on a project. It would be cool if there was a simplified way to have an entire business operate under source control.

Yes, prices will normalize to reflect actual cost and not a subsidized rate. This is the fair outcome.

Honestly, I don't think band-aiding a broken system is the solution here. "Hoping for a better outcome later" is not what I want to see when we're directly subsidizing our biggest competitor, economically and democratically speaking.

Correct. This is the final straw to correct what is arguably an unfair model.
