I think the entire situation is creating more Hamas. You think some starving Palestinian kid whose just seen his family (and now, the person supplying aid in the form of food) blown into a thousand pieces is going to just drop all pretenses

This doesn't even mention the Private Equity takeover of the music production side of the industry which is equally sad. Everything is about subscriptions and recurring revenue now. For things like Splice or Arcade, sure, I get it - c

My point exactly. Markets are always forward looking. My guess is that the value of the AI data is effectively "priced in" as it's pretty much the sole reason for the IPO. Markets would look and say "well, ok, what&#x2

Not sure Reddit is truly worth that amount. At the end of the day it's still a relatively anonymous message board with a bit of advertising. How is that worth over 6 billion? Yes, they have a treasure trove of human written communica

Neat! I know very little about wearables like this. However, I do work out frequently and live in an area (South Florida) where frequent exercise (indoor and out) is commonplace and due to the heat & humidity, people sweat excessively

Don't forget that that 1.7 trillion was largely forgiven, especially in the case of some of the largest recipients. The president at the time made sure that there was absolutely zero oversight of the corporations that got money, and o

This! Execs would lose their jobs. Billing specialists (who do a 4 year degree in medical billing, which is in and of itself fucking absurd) would lose their jobs. You know who wouldn't lose their jobs? Doctors and nurses. The actual

How high can they go? The price is inflated for sure...but their margins are absolutely insane, and their quarterly growth % is just mind-blowing.
