It fits in the niche of people who want to play AAA games, can’t afford a dedicated console and TV, and have a consistently fast internet connection. Sarcasm aside, in the longer term there is probably a business model here where anyone who

Politicians say outrageous things all of the time. The ones that don’t, usually have trouble raising money much less winning elections.

Their articles are full of mistakes. It isn't uncommon for the labels under the photos to ID the incorrect people. I wonder how much of the writing was original and how much was re-writes of previous articles or other publisher's

This seems to be getting missed, but those kids apps are serving ads for adults. Google has gone way out of their way to make it confusing to block mobile ads (you used to have to add a blacklist domain.) Last year they removed support for

Very good write up on the Chrome ad blocker issue, and worth reading in its entirety. Based on the comments in other posts on this topic, my view is a little different. I think Google is making decisions that look good in short term models

If an Apple employee connected to a competing app was able to remove the search result then that is suspicious. This doesn’t sound particularly different than people who thought they were entitled to whatever search result position on Googl

I wonder what they are testing with considering how dysfunctional basic stuff like YouTube pages are on Safari mobile.

The visibility of non paid posts on Facebook is a fraction of what it used to be. When it was high, it made sense that companies built their businesses around it. Those companies, at best, are hobbling along, like Zynga or Buzzfeed, or at w

Am I the only one who is shocked that Google has 223,000 people working for them? What are all of these people doing?

I’m not against reading at all — but, I think the reader needs to be aware of what they are reading, and the biases or potential lack of credibility involved. One of the problems with human driven interactions and instructions is those sort

I think the only certainty here is the need to spend a lot of money on compute - whether from third party cloud services or from fans manufacturing chips you designed. The description of some company or system capturing all future value sou

This was in reference to many other things going on at Google. It was in Google’s interest if everyone went along with it. They haven’t. Perhaps the strongest opponents now are the webmasters who added amp support and then lost rankings, us

Fantastic, a big thanks for doing this. Google probably has the most to benefit from, but I suspect there is something more structural that is leading to poor management decisions. "Well, AMP was an interesting experiment. Now it is ti

Target is fantastic for home goods. Clothes, shoes virtually all can be bought directly from the manufacturer (well the brand owner.) E-commerce outside of Amazon has improved greatly. I can’t even think of the last time I had a problem ord

It is important to learn from history, but assigning blame on the living -- yourself or others -- for what dead people did is a certain path for repeating many of those same historical mistakes.

That kind of logic is necessary for asset price bubbles. The downside has to be minimized, and the upside remain significant. In reality, the downsides are huge and by the end, just doubling prices is incredibly hard. The best I can tell is
