Also Supermicro is not even a chinese company. It's based in San Jose and founded by taiwanese american...

How is MS a perfect example of your claim? It's proves even US company without much friction operating in China might not succeed. It had nothing to do with China closing off the market. Except the one really banned (google & fb etc), others just don't have a competitive product suitable for chinese market.

Also aren't we talking about tech company? Not internet company alone?

Or do you consider a market closed off if no foreign internet service company is doing well? In that standard US is also closed off because I can't think of a single successful non US internet company here.

That's not 100% true. Amazon and (previously) ebay operate in china without problem but don't get a chance facing alibaba. Microsoft also do things fine. Uber was also there. The market that's really closed off are mostly limited to companies that don't support censorship.

Also speaking of world class, have you heard of DJI?

Transfer to Instagram had been a hot thing within FB for quite a while...

Yep, best example: car dealership.

But waze doesn't point out police by itself, waze user did that when they're driving. And I really don't want the drivers in the cars around me doing that...

What if instead of adding a soda bottle, they recognize there's a soda bottle in your friends' posts already and bump those images up in your feed?

In the first year after graduation, I get emails from (different) google recruiters pretty much every month. One thing I see multiple times is they include a "best work place ranking" link and google is ranked #1. One time, after I said I'm not interested, the recruiter replied something like "why don't you give this a try? Best case scenario you work at the best company in the world. Worst case scenario you stuck at your current position." I remember she did use the word "stuck" and that just triggers me.

I graduated from a top 5 CS program, and no we don't do that.

I second this, but most google recruiters are pretty terrible. Some are so disrespectful that I have to tell someone to put my profile into google blacklist so they don't bother me anymore.

I believe what he means is he work remotely for a SF company and gets SF pay.

I think that's exactly the case. From the picture there seems to be a mechanical password lock on the umbrellas. I guess how it works is: You can the QR code -> pay thru app -> received password, input the password on umbrella -> unlock umbrella. But since it's mechanical lock, I assume the password doesn't change every time. Then whoever returns the umbrella knows the password and can just take it away directly. The company can't prove they steal it.

You should checkout how Tencent build its empire in china from QQ. That's more like where facebook learned from.

Nothing really. I don't have twitter, my linkedin is just like my online profile page, i haven't log on to facebook for years. The most "social" apps on my phone are probably yelp, google map and email. Honest I don't feel anything different.

Those ads are just ignored overtime. But I'm talking about things like a big budget well made video ads about your favorite car/brands etc before every youtube video you're going to watch in the next week.
