Pretty much everyone in the lower level classes is cheating. Some of it's just "driving five-over" and some is practically murder. I've heard Chinese students talking throughout entire exams in big lecture halls, students leaving lab and immediately finding their friends waiting outside for the next lab section and dishing all the details of the day's lab, and students giving away a little too much information when talking about their strategy for a project.

The landscape of the future is car manufacturers offering their own "Uber" like service and that service replacing the traditional ownership model. That doesn't mean Uber doesn't have a place before then though. Like good little capitalists, the VC's will cash out and make a ton of money while the real innovation and lasting impact happens elsewhere. So, yeah, Uber should blow up when self-driving cars become a thing but they'll eventually fade away. Unfortunately, that won't be for a long time.

EDIT: Oh, and yeah, people are also going to still be buying a shitload still anyway.

The innovation here, imo, is that WeChat is essentially a web browser that looks and feels very different from traditional web browsers. It's a big deal given the conditions of today; i.e. cloud-based and browser-based applications are becoming the norm. Interesting, for sure. I see a future in it, anyway.

And frankly, the UI is clunky af!

Hmm, let's see.

Amazon employs 250k+ people; Alphabet employs 60k+; Facebook employs 15k+; Musk's companies employ 30k+; IBM employs 350k+; Intel employs 100k+; ... Palantir employs around 2000, but Alex Karp got to go to that meeting. I wonder who Palantir's biggest shareholder is...hmm?

P.S. The meeting also had Satya Nadella (Microsoft), Chuck Robbins (Cisco), and Safra Catz (Oracle)..and all three of Trump's children - who took seats from companies like HP, Dell, all telecomms, Xerox, and more. Seriously: fuck Peter Thiel.

To be fair to the writer, it'd be a much longer and more difficult article if it was called "Tips for understanding concepts in math." I don't even know how you could approach that.

Also, what the heck is wrong with memorizing definitions? You can't prove something using nothing. Eventually, after doing enough proofs employing the definition (or axiom or theorem or whatever else you memorized), you won't have to even think about it anymore - similar to how you or I could find the first derivative of a polynomial without thinking about it or know the definition of an even number.
