I lived in Singapore for 5 years. I have a lot of Chinese friends. I dated a Chinese girl for a while. I’ve travelled to China multiple times, for business as well as pleasure. I admire the Chinese people and their culture a lot. I despise the …

Any company headquartered in China could be asked by the Chinese Govt, to provide data it needs. Unlike in the US, companies don’t get to say no or take a legal course of action. Trying to find proof on this stuff would be nearly impossible. …

I don't live in the US so we'd have to coordinate time zones. But sure! I'd love to get a on call. This is a very interesting topic. I am based in Dubai. Maybe let's target the weekend? I am on a fair few networks including Facebook, Twitter …

Excellent article. I actually got into motorcycles to be alone. I've avoided being part of large groups that organize rides or just try to make a community of out it. It's a great thing to do I am sure. It's just not why I got into it. I ride when …

My ideal social network would have the following: 1) Mandatory verification of people: I know there are benefits to anonymity. And there should be places on the web that allow that. Most social networks already do. But there are disadvantages …

True. Facts are more important than the political leaning used to cover them. But political leanings also effect the editor’s desk. Some stories just don’t get covered because they don’t fit the narrative. That’s equally dangerous IMHO

I use this app called Ground News. Quite wonderful. They take major events and compare headlines from different leaning media houses. The classification of the publication’s political leaning isn’t their own. They refer to a third party index. …

There is a correlation of course. Thoughts lead to words. Words to influence and action. I don’t know if he’s done enough to lose that vote though. I guess we’ll know in a few months. The NRA just endorsed him. Eventually, money wins elections. …

Thankfully, yes it is.

1) Forced NATO allies to pay more for their own security. Countries like Germany were paying less for their own safety against Russia than what American tax payers were paying. While most of the contracts were still going to Russian companies. …

We should judge politicians (or anyone else) on what they do, not what they say. Trump uses a vernacular that doesn’t connect with me. But it does connect with a lot of his voter base. They see empathy, honesty, everything they need. Trump is one …

Posting this as a non-American. So I apologize in advance if my knowledge on the subject is limited. Let me start by saying that there is a lot wrong with the US political system and it’s good to see healthy debates (even protests) to improve …

Welcome to the community!

I am not a master of this subject so forgive my naivety. I am engaging so I learn more. IMHO, load times became a concern when content creators started targeting “third world countries” like India and Brazil. Before that, even if you were …

This is the answer. Right here.

I was there earlier this year before the 2020 lockdown madness began. Me and missus had gone in to welcome the new year. Little did we know, this year wasn’t gonna deserve it. This pic is from my apartment balcony though. 😊 In all my travels …

I am spreading the word among my friends and family already

Yup. Seems like a PR stunt. TikTok worrying about privacy is almost hilarious. I hope they get banned by more countries. Partly because of privacy and party because of the annoying content it spews out. 🤪

I joined Cake just a few days ago. I was intrigued by a social network where people don’t measure their self worth based on the blue tick or how many followers/likes they get. So I wanted to check it out, see if it really worked. I’ve been amazed …

Could be for two possible reasons: 1) The protests are turning ugly in some places. Looting and violence is diluting the message. Covering the protests without that in context would be unfair. With those facts considered, it does more harm than …

Brilliant people should be allowed some eccentricity. It comes with the territory. I measure his contribution to society by what he does (all the companies he had created) rather than what he says (Twitter rants against masks etc). As for Tesla. …
