    Meeting HH was a spiritual, life-changing experience. I was able to be by his side for 1 ½ hours, listening to him counsel 300 people who were in line. He really cared for all. I learned of his true compassion and greatness and realized he is “pure good”

    Battery prices are falling by double-digit percentages every year. Over the last decade they're down by 87%. This is a technological revolution.

    There's been a lot of bad news and worrying trends in recent years, but one huge positive trend has been the falling costs of batteries. It means not only better and cheaper tech but easier solutions for climate change.

    Western businesses have a moral responsibility to exit from Xinjiang and consumers have to stop puchasing goods from these companies until they do so. To make matters worse, China's government is now turning Tibetans into slave labor:

    How can you ensure that Xinjiang factories aren't using forced labor? You can't, an increasing number of Western supply-chain auditing firms are concluding—a move that could force Western businesses doing work there to exit the region.

    Apparently having a Chinese company own 100% of TikTok is a national security threat, but having them own only 80% of TikTok while still controlling the algorithm is just fine.

    It is shocking to see the extent to which China is going to suppress a peaceful, subjugated, population... in the United States.

    Here’s the criminal complaint against Baimadajie Angwang (a sinicization of Pema Dechen Ngawang?), the Tibetan PRC national arrested for acting as a PRC agent in violation of 18USC951, considered “espionage lite.” Some observations based on the complaint:

    FB claims it will leave the EU if regulation effort continues. Sounds like a great deal for the EU. Call the bluff, EU!

    The Risk Makers: inside the tech industry’s decades-long failure to reckon with risk. and I co-authored this piece about the science of risk - the core of understanding disinformation, social contagion, viral hate, and more. It's not pretty.

    As has argued, the main “takers” (as opposed to “makers”) in today’s economy are the financial speculators whose business model aims to reap enormous windfalls that contribute nothing to the real economy

    If US government was concerned about foreign influence on US culture and theft of information that TikTok enables, it should have been bold enough to ban all Chinese spyware as India did. The half-baked Oracle solution won't fix any of these problems; will only create new ones

    I agree the Chinese have robbed us blind. But this deal will not achieve the objectives and will backfire. See my last tweet about how the Chinese are gloating about it and saying it is a model for other countries to restrict US technologies.

    The Chinese state media is applauding Trump’s actions on TikTok.

    The US restructuring of TikTok’s stake and actual control should be used as a model and promoted globally. Overseas operation of companies such as Google, Facebook shall all undergo such restructure and be under actual control of local companies for security concerns.

    Ultimate irony. I now have Trump supporters accusing me of being pro-China because I RTed an article saying the TikTok deal was bad and the US is bleeding competitiveness because of flawed immigration policies originiating from the times of Bush and Obama.
