Yes, unfortunately I bought in 2 days ago. The market is irrational. Facebook literally missed its projections by 3% and loses 0.15% of its active users (mostly due to things opening up) and investors panic. Good time to buy in.

I think this pandemic has proved how sane the idea of a Metaverse would be. Imagine meeting someone online, dating or friendship, you put on a lightweight VR headset and get transported to a replicated NYC rooftop bar, where loads of people

They're still growing year-over-year. They were just off their target in the last quarter by 3%. They're valued at $3.67 per share versus the $3.78 expected. Their stock literally dropped ~25% because they were only 3% off expecte

They have to invest in something if they want to remain relevant. They make loads of money from their ad revenue. They may not be able to acquire the next Instagram or TikTok when it comes.

They lost 3 million active users out of 1.93 billion active users. That's 0.15%? As countries are opening up more. And that's newsworthy? I don't see how that justifies the stock crashing -25% in 15 minutes.

As expected there's lot of nonfiction readers here. Does anyone else find that they get more out of fiction than nonfiction? There's a lot to learn from putting yourself in a character's shoes, seeing life through their eyes

I'm sure that a lot of these designers would love to have the freedom to try new things and to innovate. But unfortunately creating unique interfaces has a very high chance of confusing and frustrating users. Designers have to work wit

That study used 400UI of vit E, which is more than 10x the RDA. Mega-dosing is what's dangerous. Good multivitamins use a fraction of that dose. The BBC article is merely clickbait.. People love to jump on the 'vitamins are actual

5% of people have design skills, yet 17% of employers seek designers. Interesting.. Maybe I should turn to design, instead of front-end development.

He thought that Tesla would most likely fail, and yet he invested 50% of his Paypal money on Tesla, and the other 50% on SpaceX. Risk is irrelevant to Elon.
