Your "Texas vs. Federal Government" argument is weak: 1. The local Catalan parliament is not above any national law. Your argument reminds me of the Texas Government vs any US Govt. 2. The pro-independence seats in parli

What's your point? If you want the laws changed, vote for a party that legitimately changes the law through the defined channels (congress, senate, etc). However, if you break the law, be prepared to suffer the consequences.

The 2017 event in Catalonia was a slow-motion, low-cost coup d’etat, dressed as a democratic movement, and an event the European Union already warned was illegal. The result is that second-tier Catalan politicians and activists are now in j

I was just going to say this. This is what many people do not understand, it's "the cheapest" technology but the cost of the necessary ancillary services, balancing mechanism, FFR, inertia, etc., to make this happen is not ba

USV jumping on the ESG bandwagon. LPs want/need to deploy capital into ESG, and USV is creating a fund to channel that excess liquidity. They will probably mask climate-related investments, with pure tech investments. Very much replica

On Tesla, like any other publicly traded business, cashflow is the value driver. Fundamentals end up catching up with valuations.

Your comment is the exact definition of a false premise: the use of an incorrect proposition (Catalonia is or was a country) that forms the basis of an argument (the EU doesn't like countries becoming independent).

I don't see Apple giving users the option to upgrade their Mac Minis to third party storage solutions.

Unrelated comment. I've seen the M1 Mac Mini teardown, and this new model has retained the same footprint as its Intel predecessor despite it looking like much less space was needed. I really look forward to a much smaller mac mini ver

That $5bn will get amortised either way, used or not used by employees. What I can assure you is that with ~$200bn in the bank account, this a drop in the bucket, and has not affected any remote work decision.

Many of Google's recent market practices feel very much like those of Microsoft in the late 90's, early 2000's. Producing unappealing products, and trying to use their influence to (unsuccessfully) deter users from switching

It's the Greek politicians who put the country in a life or death situation. Greece has had +100% of debt to GDP for decades, spending that debt on god knows what. It's 2012-2015, Greece is about to default on that very debt, and
