So he would end up with hundreds of millions in his own pocket still?

TikTok isn't social media

It is the new TV with infinite channels to switch by

Facebook will never be able to match it unless it reinvents itself.

This is not about US domestic politics.

Will the US government use FB/Twitter to delete the supporters' posts for the candidates it doesn't like?

Would you categorize Facebook/Twitter then, as the tool for US government to influence geopolitics on its behalf?

The last few strongholds I see with C++ is probably game development. To crack into gaming industry, C++ is still a must-have skill.

But TBH, I really don't want to use C++ if the circumstance allows. The language spec is just so overtly complex that feels self-defeating, it is harder and harder to justify use it in the first place.

I doubt that is the case.

Look up how Japanese companies are treated in late 80s and 90s.

When one felt under threat, all rules will be forgone.

I don't think South Korean companies will have such concerns.

Albums in Kpop world is a different thing.

Think of buying albums more like a kickstarter fundraising for fans to support their idols. The photo book or the chance to get a ticket for a fan meeting is arguably a bigger draw than that CD itself.

In fact, what I know, a lot of sales, especially oversee ones, those albums are not even physically sent back to the country where they originated at all. It is just a gesture to help their idols rank better on the music shows.

Even Taylor Swift releases the full new Album on youtube the first day, which is unthinkable even 5 years ago.

I think the industry already accept it is the way forward.

If you use Google video search (from the search engine itself) often enough, you will many even majority of the times, the top N results are most likely not from Youtube, even though that is what I want.

No creating a competitor isn't easy. Profitable video hosting is trade secret still, and even with Google's technology and scale it becomes barely sustainable.

This ain't mind-blowing by any means IMO.

If the said company has unknown track record, then doing business with them is risky.

What if the company goes out of business in near future? Or get acquired (actually I think A lot of infra companies's end goal is to get acquired)? What if they raise the price out of sudden? How extensible/customizable their solution is?

The trust is the key here. If I am in the position to buy software from somewhere and cost isn't the primary concern, the money would goes to a known/stable figure in the industry.

Seriously? Without the subtitles from fans, I can't really count how many great content I will miss, especially for relative niche languages.

Pretty interesting.

The few shots learning capacity is very much there. I would imagine Chatbot can now really get somewhat correctable thus usable, by continuously providing examples to the model.

For real.

But the title itself is something worth a moment of reflection.

Doctoral programs are supposed to be scarce, selective and of high profile. Now they are being treated as a service that can be requested and compared against.

Bitcoin isn't big at all. It haven't made relevant changes to people's everyday life.
