The landlord wants to be paid every month. A credit score's entire reason for existence is to attempt to quantify that. It would be strange if a landlord didn't look at that.

Apple is the only competitor to Google's 65% (direct) plus reskinned Chromium dominance of the browser market. Meanwhile, I'm happy with the direction they push W3C and developers. Without them, Google would just push the web to w

That's not really relevant. Antitrust laws tend to focus on abusing your monopoly position, not having it. Microsoft was sued for using its Windows monopoly to force IE on people, not for having the monopoly by itself.

Apple doesn't control an entire industry. You can buy an Android phone and fully participate in the mobile phone world never talking to Apple. You cannot participate in the AI world without NVIDIA.

I am not an astronaut. I prefer knobs. As my comment said, I think of them as a feature. I think the average astronaut would put up with their lack of preferred control schemes to go into space.

It has physical knobs and switches as opposed to relying on touchscreens. I consider that a feature, although a minor one.

Sure, or it's 10% of F500 companies. Which would be about 800 if a similar percentage of listed companies were TX based and moved to the new exchange. And if Tesla is a trendsetter, TX might be seeing an influx of large companies. At l

You're clearly not playing games with a $0.25 small blind, or a $20 buy in. Meanwhile, it might confuse professional poker players, but in a friendly cash game that's probably a benefit.

Not all investors are only interested in making money. That's why so many investment vehicles take into account ESG scores. Or why people refuse to invest in cigarette companies.

Point 3 is about risk not time. Most founders would rather have a 100% chance of their stock being worth 1 billion than a 1% chance of being worth 200 billion and a 99% chance of being worth zero. For VCs, the choice is opposite.

It's difficult to predict because taxes are somewhat manipulatable. Will more compensation be deferred to avoid the tax? Will some people retire or move?

Over 10%? On the peak day mid-June, that may have been the case (although it may not have been. Crowd estimates differ). But the police managed to discourage enough protesters that those levels were not sustained for days.

Hong Kong never sustained more than 3.5% of the population for several days. It seems the police response was able to force the number of people participating back below that threshold whenever it surged.

You can keep just saying it's impossible, but Oxfam and the UN have plans that use those two sums and claim to alleviate all non-violent causes for world hunger. The Oxfam plan also talks about plans to make the food system more resili

Every tech company I've ever seen has had free t-shirts to give out at some point. While I don't think it was a smart use of limited funds, it's certainly not a major pivot to physical products like Evernote.
