In 1986 Fred Wang, then 36 years old, was installed as president of Wang Laboratories.

On October 4, 1983, Wang Laboratories announced fourteen major hardware and software products, and promised dates of delivery.

It was great to talk to Taylor Wang (COO of Mayvenn) and get his thoughts on it all.

He is the sidekick in the same way Wang Chi was the sidekick in Big Trouble In Little China.

One turning point occurred when Fred Wang was head of R&D.

Unlike most computer companies that funded their growth by issuing stock, An Wang had used debt to avoid further dilution of family control of the company.

The story of how the MD5 collision pathways were discovered is an interesting one - the first colliding pair is said to have been calculated by Xiaoyun Wang by hand, with little computer use.

My conclusion is a canal in Nicaragua makes no economic sense, there must be some hidden motivation at play here, such as personal glory for Wang Jing or a ploy to secure land rights and tax exemptions.

He proved that no algorithm for the problem can exist, by showing how to translate any Turing machine into a set of Wang tiles that tiles the plane if and only if the Turing machine does not halt.

When I think about all the tech that Wang put into making a decent system, how it was all taken for granted - and subsequently lost as new markets emerged to ruin the company - its astonishing!

They are: Emina Bukva (Bosnia and Herzegovina) Constanza Contreras (Chile) Anna Currel (Spain) Romina Huenchunao (Chile) Vaiva Imbrasaite (Lithuania) Taksapaun Kittiakrastien (Thailand) [Silver] Sepideh Mahabadi (Iran) [Gold!] Radwa Metwali (Egypt) Katie O'Mahony (Ireland) Phitchaya Phothilimthana (Thailand) [Silver] Ye Wang (USA) [Silver] Sepideh Mahabadi had one of the best performances of anyone.

In retrospect this was referred to as the "vaporware announcement" and it hurt the credibility of Fred Wang and Wang Laboratories.

Fred Wang was a business school graduate, "but by almost any definition," wrote Charles C.

Likewise, I was using tablet computers created by Wang back in the 1980s, ungainly monsters 3" thick with low-res monochrome screens and short battery life; this was a necessary but not sufficient precursor to the iPad.

When Yishong Wang left abruptly there was a real pull from the community to bring Alexis back - or if not him then someone who was "from reddit." When Pao was announced the thought was "why is a lawyer taking over?" She reeks of 1%ers which redditors love to bash on when they see one bleeding (not Elon Musk of course).

Wang's insistence that his son, Fred Wang, succeed him contributed to the company's failure.

My guess is it's not ML vs Bio-tech, but ML for Biotech in Mr Wang's next move.

Wang, for example, had some amazing document/image-management features which are still yet to be realized in the modern era.
