Employees have been involuntarily transferred to this store apparently.

Reply to Arrested in Australia, former US military pilot who worked in China now faces extradition by FreeChickenDinner
It seems kind of bonkers to allow former military officers to renounce their citizenship and work in a sensitive industry in a hostile country. OTOH, maybe nobody ever imagined this level of shenanigans.
Related, it’s pretty common for former service members to take related employment in the private sector. I’m guessing this guy seriously burned some bridges stateside to end up in China.

Reply to After adding 37,000 employees in the last 12 months, Alphabet's CEO said the company will assess future projects 'pretty granularly' as it tries to curb costs by V3r4L4u7aro420
Is it not clear to the casual observer that the Google culture of launching new products to get recognition and promotions is the direct cause of those products failure? Nothing will ever succeed in the market if the creators fuck off to the next shiny thing after the launch announcement goes out.
They need to incentivize things actually succeeding in the market and not just leaving beta.

I’m a little less sympathetic to participants in exurban sprawl. The town mandates one acre minimum lot size, one dwelling per lot, and no above ground utilities. The median home price there is in the millions. Literally luxury problems.

Reply to comment by Lamacorn in TIL that before Lincoln Center could reward David Geffen's $100 Million donation by renaming "Avery Fisher Hall" to "David Geffen Hall", they had to pay the heirs of Fisher - the original donor - $15 million. Geffen's donation has a provision that requires his name to be on the hall "in perpetuity". by AspireAgain
Are you sure? Your avatar looks like Putin getting made up for a drag show.

The “Lamacorn Pavilion” would be pretty funny.

The NLRB begs to differ.
