       | If you ever work for a badge-wearing company, DO NOT DO THIS.
       | It's not a "favor." It's a great way to get fired.

       | There's a great long piece about this chemist woman, forgot the

       | American company, monetize the IP in China. It's a really
       | fascinating story actually.
