Ok, sure. Let us operate in your country without the CCP controlling oversight. Stop removing CEOs from their companies and disappearing them. Start being honest with your people. End slavery and then let’s talk.

What’s happening at the Universities in our country is the result of selective enforcement. Nobody spoke up when it was the people on the right who were run off of campuses because their speech was “unsafe”. People lost their minds. People cheered because it wasn’t “their…

@cyantist This happened every so often while I worked at Uber. There were a few times you couldn’t get into the office. x.com/Altimor/status…
Yesterday in front of Uber office: a woman holding a sign "Fuck off you techie capitalist". She angrily declined being taken in picture.
@cyantist It’s interesting to see the cultural difference in practice here. Each side views the idea of a “nation” very differently.
@balajis I got out in 2014. I called it quits when I was working for One Kings Lane in the Twitter buiding and couldn't get in and out of the office.
So true and will become a cult hit over time. The size and scale of the Waterworld atoll in person in Hi was daunting. They sent approx $50 million to build it just to sink it and make it into a reef after production
@cyantist Fantastic essay about why it didn't land, from the guy who went on to write Pirates of the Caribbean: wordplayer.com/columns/wp08.I…
@cyantist Cracks me up that even TikTok is banned in China 🤭
@cyantist Too bad they didn’t show Blinken begging Xi to stop getting along so well with the Russians. 🙄🙄🙄
You see cool crypto use case. I see Stripe not having to pay credit card companies a transaction fee. The margin expansion must be... enormous.
Crypto is back. @stripe will start supporting global stablecoin payments this summer. Transactions instantly settle on-chain and automatically convert to fiat. Join the waitlist stripe.com/use-cases/cryp… and watch the demo (h/t @solana) from Sessions.
@cyantist So if I get really strong, airport security won't mind if I bring an elephant as my carry-on, right? 🐘💪 Absolutely! It's amazing how that shift happens.
@cyantist “What’s odd is that they haven’t cared about the dying children in Yemen or anywhere else,” Exactly. The crisis in Sudan is orders of magnitude more grave. Increasingly clear that AGI and the singularity is the way forward
@manaliwicz 😆 Thank you, thank you. It’s all about the mindset

@cyantist Call me optimistic but a country this large with so many variables - economy, foreign policy, legislative etc. its rather hard to game this complex system from the outside... That's not to say they won't try... They will... but its just too complex to put the thumb on the scale
