That's true in the US where corruption is legal, in most other developed nations it is severely limited or forbidden, making it much less rampant and outproportioned. Here in Canada (and I assume many similarly developed countries), st

I find that asymmetric/concentrated power in the appropriate (!) hands can lead to better results for most things. For instance, I'd rather put my money in a company where the CEO has the proper vision and considerable agency over

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. It's true that it doesn't make it any less immoral, but at the end of the day companies will seek to lower their costs, after all it is their mission, hence this (major) problem is polit

I think Son is looking for the next big thing, probably something about shared workspaces.

Since you brought up Keller, if anyone is interested here is a great podcast/conversation/interview with Lex Fridman: https://youtu.be/Nb2tebYAaOA

Don't they just pay a certain amount per "digital licence"/how many copies they can lend? For instance, my library has an X amount of "copies" of ebooks it can lend, I actually never use it because anything tha

True, I still use it to designate the short-TSLA/anti-TSLA crowd which tirelessly uses this argument despite the evidence that it is false. As for the chances of Tesla going under being slim to none at this point, which I agree with an

Not to defend TSLA's valuation, but the argument of other car giants being "able to flip a switch and make something better" has been proven wrong many times. There are plenty of rational "TSLAQ-arguments", that one

I don't see how that could bring in anywhere close the different prices for certifications.

That's unnecessarily harsh for a sad story, frankly anyone can fall into those rabbit holes (even if you're smart enough to grow Apple).

I'm not a crypto aficionado, but BTC is back to 10k USD which isn't that much worse then individual stocks going thru hard times (albeit very volatile against broad stock indexes). The balloon has deflated but it's far from b

MySpace peaked at 75M monthly users, which is a rounding error to FB's 3B monthly users. That fact alone is major, the network effects for both FB and GOOG makes them very hard to replace in and off itself. For instance, a competitor

While I do not agree with storing user-deleted information, you can change the "reddit" URL to "removeddit" to see most of the comments. Alternatively, "ceddit" will only show mod-deleted comments.

Aside from gaming, which isn't prevalent aside from casual games in NA and EU to my knowledge, I'm not sure what someone may possibly need it's phone for where something like a S7 (a bit more than 4 years old) isn't larg

You oughta open a FB quarterly presentation some day, it is quite eye opening how off the charts they are in terms of user monetization. $20 yearly wouldn't cut it at all, in North America the average revenue per user (ARPU, trailing 1
