@RT_com @rayvahey So Government bully kids physically to help them learn not to bullying.

Singapore introduces caning as punishment for school bullies, including cyberbullying Boys aged 9+ can receive up to 3 strokes if other measures fail — Guardian Officials say it’s tightly controlled, but critics warn of harm to children’s mental and physical health

@RT_com fuck you, "Critics"

@salmaogs everyone's a genius on reddit right now. we're getting there.

@creepydotorg She didn't feel alone because she had a weekly meeting on Zoom with her product manager. Then a biweekly update to the PM. And a monthly 1:1 with her supervisor.

In 2021, Spanish athlete Beatriz Flamini entered a cave 230 feet underground and stayed there completely alone for 500 days. She had no sunlight, no clocks, and no direct human contact. The goal was to study what extreme isolation does to the human mind and body when someone is cut off from time. Scientists monitored her from outside the cave, tracking the effects of isolation, darkness, and the loss of a normal sleep cycle. When Flamini finally emerged in April 2023, she was shocked to learn how long she had been underground. She thought only about 160 days had passed.

@TheKarlKolchak @nxt888 Are you proud now that only 4 countries (third world) has more ? 😂

@nxt888 I can see why you would want to ignore per capita on an issue where it truly is important.

The United States has the largest prison population on earth. Not per capita. Total. More people in cages than China. More than Russia. More than every "authoritarian" state it condemns in its annual human rights reports. 1.8 million people. Disproportionately Black. Disproportionately poor. Disproportionately from the zip codes with the worst schools, the fewest jobs, the most abandoned infrastructure. This is presented as a "criminal justice system." It functions as a labor system. Prison labor, paid between 13 cents and $1.15 an hour in most states, produces goods for McDonald's, Walmart, Victoria's Secret, Whole Foods, and the United States military. The 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery, contains an exception clause: "Except as punishment for crime." That exception has never been closed. It has been expanded. The plantation did not disappear. It received a different name and a legal foundation.

@sadchineseman @MaitreyaBhakal That's a lot of words just to show your fucking stupid.

This is the scam of the century making people believe that cheap is good while the guy is producing in your own country at a price that allow company to be good wage. Fucking scams. It’s easy to produce 1 billion car at cost level when u pay ur workers shit or use robot to make them that create 0 jobs

BREAKING: According to a leaked CIA report, China is engaged in a massive conspiracy to make everything cheaper and more affordable.

@TheDefiApe @brian_armstrong Capitalism! If he can get rid of everyone and make billions he'd do it.

@brian_armstrong A company that made 1.5B last year needs to fire 15% of the company. This shit is so exhausting..

This is an email I sent earlier today to all employees at Coinbase: Team, Today I’ve made the difficult decision to reduce the size of Coinbase by ~14%. I want to walk you through why we're doing this now, what it means for those affected, and how this positions us for the future. Why now Two forces are converging at the same time. We need to be front footed to respond to both. First, the market. Coinbase is well-capitalized, has diversified revenue streams, and is well-positioned to weather any storm. Crypto is also on the verge of the next wave of adoption, with stablecoins, prediction markets, tokenization, and more taking off. However, our business is still volatile from quarter to quarter. While we've managed through that cyclicality many times before and come out stronger on the other side, we’re currently in a down market and need to adjust our cost structure now so that we emerge from this period leaner, faster, and more efficient for our next phase of growth. Second, AI is changing how we work. Over the past year, I’ve watched engineers use AI to ship in days what used to take a team weeks. Non-technical teams are now shipping production code and many of our workflows are being automated. The pace of what's possible with a small, focused team has changed dramatically, and it's accelerating every day. All of this has led us to an inflection point, not just for Coinbase, but for every company. The biggest risk now is not taking action. We are adjusting early and deliberately to rebuild Coinbase to be lean, fast, and AI-native. We need to return to the speed and focus of our startup founding, with AI at our core. What this means To get there, we are not just reducing headcount and cutting costs, we’re fundamentally changing how we operate: rebuilding Coinbase as an intelligence, with humans around the edge aligning it. What does this mean in practice? - Fewer layers, faster decisions: We are flattening our org structure to 5 layers max below CEO/COO. Layers slow things down and create coordination tax. The future is small, high context teams that can move quickly. Leaders will own much more, with as many as 15+ direct reports. Fewer layers also means a leaner cost structure that is built to perform through all market cycles. - No pure managers: Every leader at Coinbase must also be a strong and active individual contributor. Managers should be like player-coaches, getting their hands dirty alongside their teams. - AI-native pods: We’ll be concentrating around AI-native talent who can manage fleets of agents to drive outsized impact. We’ll also be experimenting with reduced pod sizes, including “one person teams” with engineers, designers, and product managers all in one role. In short: AI is bringing a profound shift in how companies operate, and we’re reshaping Coinbase to lead in this new era. This is a new way of working, and we need to leverage AI across every facet of our jobs. To those who are affected I know there are real people behind these decisions — talented colleagues who have poured themselves into this company and our mission. To those of you who will be leaving: thank you. You’ve helped build Coinbase into what it is today, and I am sincerely grateful for everything you've done. All impacted team members will receive an email to their personal account in the next hour with more information, and an invitation to meet with an HRBP and a senior leader in your organization. Coinbase system access has been removed today. I know this feels sudden and harsh, but it is the only responsible choice given our duty to protect customer information. To those affected, we will be providing a comprehensive package to support you through this transition. US employees will receive a minimum of 16 weeks base pay (plus 2 weeks per year worked), their next equity vest, and 6 months of COBRA. Employees on a work visa will get extra transition support. Those outside of the US will receive similar support, based on local factors and subject to any consultation requirements. Coinbase prides itself on talent density. Our employees are among the most talented people in the world, and I have no doubt that your skills and experience will be highly sought after as you pursue your next chapters. How we move forward To the team that is staying, I know this is a difficult day. We’re saying goodbye to colleagues and friends you've been in the trenches with. But here’s what I want you to know as we move forward together: Over the past 13 years, we have weathered four crypto winters, gone public, and built the most trusted platform in our industry. We’ve made it this far by making hard decisions and by always staying focused on our mission. This time will be no different – nothing has changed about the long term outlook of our company or industry. And most importantly, our mission has never been more important for the world. Increasing economic freedom requires a new financial system, and we’re building it. The Coinbase that emerges from this will be more capable than ever to achieve our mission. Brian

@IksTakahiro @XH_Lee23 I think this looks better don't you think? 🇯🇵

Hong Kong is dead! Well, that's what Stephen Roach, ex-Chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia & Yale professor declared. Since then, HK became the world's largest IPO market in 2025 & so far in 2026 HK is far from dead. There are few places anywhere in the world that is so efficient for dealmakers and white collar workers to make money Last week I was in HK to sit on a panel. In one day I had dinner with the billionaire founder of one of the world's largest private equity firms, chatted and took photos with the billionaire chairman of one of the world's largest real estate developers, talked with the anchor of a top tv show, lunched with the founder of a digital marketing company, sat for an interview with a journalist from a leading publication, had breakfast with the celebrity founder of a lifestyle company. And that doesn't include the coffees and short chats I had with dozens of hedge fund, bankers at a cocktail party headlined by the former PM of a medium sized country Only NY might be able to rival the efficiency but HK has far less taxes. Far far less HK isn't dead. It's electric. Here's me eating in Kowloon. Many mandarin speakers sitting at tables near me. You can see the positive influence mainlanders are having on HK Instead of being the conduit for western businesses trying to break into the mainland, HK has become the conduit for mainland companies trying to break into overseas markets Let's be clear, HK's prosperity has always been linked to China's rise, not the "positive" effects of British colonialism and Chris Patten & NYT's Nick Kristof like to rewrite history about. Now, how did Roach get HK (and China) so wrong? It's largely due to 2 reasons that course through the China Watcher crowd Roach visits the mainland & HK a few times a year & talks to his old friends & acquaintances. You can't understand a country by fly ins. And Roach, unlike any good analyst, talks to the same circle who are negative on China, mostly affluent people who lost opportunities because of the CPC's laudable goal of building up the middle class by reigning in the excesses of the corrupt wealthy class. You need to travel all around China to get a true pulse. This week I'm crisscrossing Henan, one of the hottest economies in China. Roach also falls victim to ideological bigotry - he like many other China Watchers cheerlead for China's system when they thought it was adopting capitalism and western style democracy... Essentially they thought China would be more like the west. But China decided to go its own way by blending capitalism with Communism and has been very successful at that. But for Roach, who has actually spent very little time in mainland, he never quite got China. For him, China failed because it has reformed to try to support the low and middle class, not favor the wealthy like in the US and their web of donors and patrons. But America's system is failing the low & middle class while benefitting the Uber rich like Jeff Bezos, Ken Griffin Now Roach spends his waning days trying to retain relevance by attacking China's government for not inviting him to events anymore. Why invite a 3rd class analyst?

It turned out better than she’d imagined

This is the clearest explanation I’ve ever heard on the complicated issue of “Taiwan being part of China.” I worked at a company, and one day after being fired, I claimed that the office I had used belonged to me and had nothing to do with the company.

@handsome_river Until they actually go to America and get slapped and called chink.

@intjgamergirl For every one American who wants Singapore Citizenship, there's ten thousand Singaporeans who want US citizenship.

Not sure what is the point of this article lol

At the peak of the dot-com bubble on March 10, 2000, the total market capitalization of NASDAQ-listed companies was approximately $6.6 trillion NVDA is 30% away.

Imagine moving all your workflows and business processes to Claude and find out one day your entire org has been blacklisted by Claude.

Americans think this is better

@wearelosingyou @MothershipSG They watch hollywood films and complain about how boring it is in Singapore. I think they want to experience getting screamed at and assaulted.

@MothershipSG Most Singaporeans don't appreciate how good they have it.

Apparently Deepseek is paying 5500 rmb a day ($19k USD a month) to *interns* out of Tsinghua. Apparently ByteDance pays 8000 rmb a day ($26k a month). Most Chinese returnees from Silicon Valley compare offers between US and China with a 1:3 ratio (because of the lower cost of living / higher quality of life in China). In other words, they would choose the Deepseek offer over a $500k USD offer from the US. Tldr, frontier labs in China are offering competitive pay vs US labs.
