Taken from the article you shared:

"By law, NSLs can request only non-content information, for example, transactional records and phone numbers dialed, but never the content of telephone calls or e-mails."

"Moreover, a recipient of the NSL may still challenge the nondisclosure provision in federal court."

China has an extensive track record of influence operations and election meddling in other countries and has used social media trolls to target political protests in Hong Kong. Last August, Twitter disclosed a significant Chinese “state-backed information operation” aimed at the protests, dismantling a network of 200,000 accounts that aimed to sow political discord. Facebook also detected similar activity and took action.

China also showed its hand during Taiwan’s 2018 election, employing its “50-cent army” of online trolls to sow propaganda and weaken the ruling party. Having tasted success in Taiwan, China conducted another disinformation campaign in the run-up to this month’s presidential election, trying unsuccessfully to undermine Taiwan’s incumbent president, Tsai Ing-wen, who China abhors. China also reportedly hacked into Australia’s parliament and political parties just three months before elections there last year.

While there are no known cases yet of TikTok spreading propaganda to meddle in foreign elections, the national security risks are inherent. As long as the app is controlled by a Chinese company, its data and capabilities will always be within reach of China’s government.

After all, TikTok and ByteDance would only be complying with Chinese law. China’s 2017 National Intelligence Law requires that “Any organization or citizen shall support, assist and cooperate with the state intelligence work in accordance with the law.” Unlike American companies who receive requests from the U.S. government, ByteDance simply has no recourse when faced with orders from China’s authoritarian government.

Having the word Scrum and Agile on the homepage, explaining the problem and solution statement could help a lot.

As of the first week of February, emergency SMS alerts in S. Korea were sent out daily, sometimes several times per day. These alerts told everyone to wear masks, stay inside, wash hands, and exercise caution. S. Korea was already mobilizing government resources when there were very few cases. I remember there were only 20 cases at this point and all the efforts seemed overkill, but now we know they were necessary.

Meanwhile in the US none of this was taking place and the president is publicly saying everything is under control, when it was not.

It's comically easy to see why the US is failing to contain COVID if you have been watching how governments in Asia have been handling the outbreak.

Your opposition is actually an example of a logical fallacy. I'm struggling to find the exact name of it. But it has to do with that fact that you are against the adoption of something positive that you agree with because of some hypothetical negative externality.

Edit: It's called the "Perfect solution fallacy" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana_fallacy

The perfect solution fallacy is a related informal fallacy that occurs when an argument assumes that a solution should be rejected because some part of the problem would still exist after it were implemented.[4] This is an example of black and white thinking, in which a person fails to see the complex interplay between multiple component elements of a situation or problem, and, as a result, reduces complex problems to a pair of binary extremes.

Please provide a source for this. I have not seen any of this data used. The data I see used is from the CCP's official data.

> You can't lie about the numbers because every other country would detect an anomalous number of imported cases.

This is absolutely false. Because flights have been suspended from China to most countries, and China itself has been on lockdown, the number of imported cases to other countries does not reflect the growth of the virus inside of China.

> The absolute numbers don't even matter that much - what matters is the trend and the number of new cases going to zero. Look at epidemiology paper - they always assume only like 10% of infected cases are tested and confirmed. The epidemic really is coming to a close in China

Please provide proof that is not coming from CCP.

No offense, but there's no reason to believe you on this without providing sources. Most of what you have said smells like BS.

Please don't put words in my mouth when I never said there was a 1:1 relationship.

you are just taking for granted the data provided to you by an authoritarian state

Dogpatch Labs was not later relocated to Dublin. Both Dublin and San Francisco were open during the same time (as well as NYC). San Francisco and NYC were closed.

1. Companies stagnate when their market isn't growing.

2. Companies stagnate when competition is increasing in the market.

You can be a shitty leader and still succeed massively despite yourself.

As the OP says, the timing of the PR scandal coincides too conveniently with their internal plans to replace her.

Win = 32% Lose = 68%

But here's the thing, the goal should not be to win, but to get ONE OF the highest numbers with reliability.

Now here's where Optimal Stopping Theory is not optimal.

42% of the time you lose by getting to the end. Meaning you drew all 50 cards and ended with likely a very small card.

The goal of this algorithm should be that you almost never get to drawing the 50th card. You always stop before then and end with a high number.

Therefore, I wouldn't consider this algorithm optimal. Likely you should draw fewer cards in the beginning.

This will not help you get product-market fit.

Product-market fit is about careful user segmentation and need/pain assessment, followed by product positioning. None of which this approach helps with.

This app is just a potpourri of feedback and a popularity contest without understanding WHO you should listen to and WHO you should ignore and WHY.

The creators of this app need to do more research on how to achieve product-market fit if that's what they're going to use as the pitch.

Not all products need or have retention. Some amazing businesses are 1-time or products people pay for but don't need to use or actively engage with.

e.g. Universities, Courses = 1-time use Stocks/Investments = buy them and don't touch them until you sell Insurance = buy it and don't touch it until you renew 1 yr later Plenty of other examples

But every product should be a "Must Have" if it's going to grow.

I think one of the issues with my current bedroom might be noise/air flow (oxygen) which is stopping me from getting the amount of deep sleep I need.

I also have been hacking my CPAP and tested increasing the pressure by 2 per night. Doing this dropped my API's from 2 to nearly 0.
