Last time I heard Twitter only needed 100 engineers.

Preaching to the choir, but the man openly admits violating the law and then complains about not being able to obtain a visa. I've heard countless similar stories for students and professionals trying to enter the United States from very politically friendly countries, with a select few being banned from the country altogether, based on very trivial violations of the law (we're talking job semantics here).

In other words thems the rules. China's no different.

That's not really anything outrageous - a serious cyclist can easily hit that speed on a mile on a UCI-spec bicycle (i.e. non-electric).

I won't go into details of why you're wrong, but let's just say random posters with unknowable credentials shouldn't comment on geopolitical or economic affairs of a foreign country.

"I like walking around Baltimore because I like the potential of being violently mugged, because you do have to keep your wits about you. If I walked around with a backpack and got mugged I would blame myself."

It's exaggerated/false reporting. In 2015 Google was in the process of cleaning up its finances. The sale of Boston Dynamics really came from BD executives and Google execs clashing over the future direction of the company where one party wanted to continue from a more pure R&D direction, while the other wanted a path to revenue/profitability in < 5 years. Not having come to an agreement Google/Alphabet put up BD for sale.

For whatever reason you seem to be on a puritanical crusade against anything DRM.

So tell me again how Netflix subscribers, who are only purchasing the right to be able to stream videos on a limited release cycle, are hurt by Netflix's use of DRM? I followed the massive draconian DRM push by the gaming industry, MPAA and RIAA during the 00s and let me tell you son - this ain't nothing close.
