   The whole escape was likely coordinated by Ghosn's wife who it seems passed the Jeff Bezos test. Commenting on what he looked for in a wife, Bezos once said in an interview "The number one criterion was that I wanted a woman who c

   RSS is dying (or dead) because it was incompatible with the dominant business model on the internet -- advertising. This is why Google killed it. This is why lots of professional publishers hated it. With HTTP you'd be able to earn

   Recommendation: Show the returns for each senator with the S&P 500 and Berkshire Hathaway performance as reference lines. I'd be interested to see the senators who have a better track record than Buffett while in office.

    I'm surprised it's taken this long for some tech enabled labor platform to emerge. Power is gained by coordinating some portion of the value chain into a single node. Amazon is powerful because they can centralize demand into a

    This is an odd hill to die on. I'd bet 90%+ of engineers have a single computer they code from at home (even if you have multiple computers) and another at work. It's perfectly fair to pay for a separate license for each of thos
