I think there are a lot of poor analogies and comparisons being made to Hollywood. AAA linear game development accompanied by massive sustained growth in production budgets has made some segments of games look like Hollywood. Some segments

I never had a Nexus phone, but I had Nexus tablets. They were great. I was shocked when I went to buy a new one and all I managed to find was a piece of shit Samsung tablet. That was a pretty defining moment for me when I realized Google ha

Does anyone have head injury statistics? I know falls are a major cause of preventable death in the US, but I don’t even know how those break down between someone on a bike vs an old person falling over.

The experienced managers know that the difference, but others could either be easily fooled or gaming the statistics to help boost their internal politics standing. The bigger problem is when these engagement bumps are valid but destroy lon

What are you using now? I’ve been an active member of various communities and forums over the years (excluding reddit), and I never actively left one. It was always just a realization I hadn’t been to the site (or really aging myself, BBS)

Are they going to get away with keeping all of their google volume by cloaking the google bot and hiding the content from everyone else? Comments make up the vast majority of Reddit’s unique content. I would guess on a word basis it’s over

Remember when Google got in trouble for helping advertisers sell illegal drugs and even Larry Page knew a what was going on? I doubt Facebook cares. https://www.wired.com/2013/05/google-pharma-whitaker-sting/

2009 was pretty good too. During the next major recession/depression the cut back on both business and vacation travelers will be significant. Which, I think is ok to advocate for given we are now in the longest expansion in US history

I don’t know why your comment was downvoted. Very legitimate reason.

It’s a good investment as a hedge in the case the EU regulators kick Google in the ass hard enough.

Couldn’t this involve the IRS as well?

I had to dig up one of my old comments about YC China, because I specifically recall this one. I think the issue isn't one elephant in the room, it is elephants. My comment from August 15, 2018: "I would like to see a statement th

Rather than some sort of intentional cyberpunk dystopia I think in part what we are seeing is some pressure by American tech companies to emulate Chinese tech companies such as Tencent. One app to rule them all, perhaps would make a good ca

In this case, the FBI and SEC may need to investigate precisely what is going on. If Intel is doing partial fixes it knows of other things that aren’t being disclosed there could be criminal activity occurring. Additionally, this had big i

If people realized how much money of their hotel booking was going to Google and the OTAs, they would piss their pants. It is an excessive, useless, and largely avoidable tax. * also note it’s driven substantial consolidation in the hotel i

I think the CCPA is going to scare the shit out of people when they realize it isn’t just a subpoena for a murder investigation that will get your Alexa history dumped, but some random dude who has a photocopy of your drivers license can no

One would presume past convictions would greatly increase the potential liability of any officer behavior involved lawsuits. Perhaps some of these municipalities will suddenly find their insurance policies dropped.

Wealthy people also like to buy up large amounts of undeveloped land for conservation purposes. I’m not sure why they don’t just say they are jacking up income & capital gains taxes, and getting rid of tax-free asset transfers to non-pr

Riders and drivers who got subsidized rides and income, were probably the largest beneficiaries. Uber employees, VC partners, on the Silicon Valley side. A lot of other tech workers have benefited from the upward price pressure exerted on d

That is definitely not true. I think that statement is correct roughly for the top 50,000. The fall off in economic viability is fairly abrupt. There are some websites in certain markets where the earn a disproportionately high amount of re

This is the only comment I’ve seen insurance mentioned, which is the main determining factor of what is or isn’t in a playground now. I’m sure the insurance companies have actual data and actuarial tables for what results in lawsuit damages

I wonder what kind of class action or civil enforcement exposure Airbnb has. Certainly this has to be revealed honestly in their S-1 docs.

Had a similar situation and ended up having to book someone a $2000 a night hotel room. It’s no joke being out of a room in a place where hotels are 100% sold out, or non existent. This is one of the reasons I refuse to use Airbnb in most n

I think this should be the top comment, not buried on (currently) page two. The debates about truth in political advertising and Facebook are about something different. Both are valid issues to discuss, but it’s off topic. What matters when

They also had massive negative cashflow going back over a decade and paid for those dividends with lender’s money. The entire thing wasn’t sustainable. It isn’t necessarily fair to single out California because many other public utilities a

This should be upvoted. While the net deaths from murders, drug overdoses, and manslaughter of various cases might be a really high number, they are not even close to what a single government can do in a year or a nuclear-armed government c

Is the government indirectly subsidizing businesses, or are they indirectly subsidizing landlords and the lenders to whom the landlords owe debts? For the vast majority of the world, outside of ultra-expensive first world metropolises, $15

I don’t recall Google’s search quality 7 years ago. I do recall it the first time I used Google. I also recall it when the Demand Media eHow/Livestrong content farm spam decimated their results. One thing that’s worth pointing out, tha
