I saw ex-Facebooker all over the place. Why?
Maybe ex-FBers are totally fine with China’s brand of social surveillance. 🇨🇳 #1
I would argue that most people are in fact fine with China’s “social surveillance” because they are fine with American social surveillance. The Chinese government can monitor what you do with WeChat pay? Well the US government pioneered that decades ago when it started monitoring credit card transactions. The US government also monitors all cross border transactions that happen via the SWIFt payment system regardless of who is transferring money or whether they are even in the US. Sure China government can access all your electronic communication. The US government does so too: the US regularly even arrests foreigners and extradited them to the US based on emails that they sent over gmail (whose servers are in the US so the US government can access).
Lol I wouldn't listen to this shit even if they paid me
now I see why Uber China got acquired by Didi lol
Why pay when you can watch it for free. Learn how China’s unicorns develop their new ideas https://youtu.be/Km5XQxRrQvw
Too bad Taiwan is number one!
Is that still a thing? They have their own servers opened years ago. I thought Chinese players don't play on US servers any more.

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?

Avoid teams with only Chinese or Indians especially with a Chinese/Indian manager
I’d go if it were live in SF Bay but online conferences regardless of topic bore the crap out of me.
