Financial services as a whole are inherently a large part of the economy so it's reasonable to see why they're going after it. Warren Buffet attributes a large part of his success to his insurance interests and the capital (to inv

I was a big fan of Wave but all other history suggests to me that Slack would still have wiped the floor with them due to factors outside of the immediate product teams' purview.

Not quite relevant to OP but apropos of the concept introduced above...apparently, quite a few people do pay for such a service as VidAngel ( https://www.vidangel.com ) is still running. I have not kept up with their developments

I've long held that 'entrepreneur-friendly' investors on the Peninsula should have some kind of Heli-shuttle that runs up the western-most side (aka follow 280 for the most part) of the Peninsula to San Francisco or sponsor s

I'm neither smart enough or well-connected enough to even hazard a guess but I wonder if there's an opportunity to acquire the older radio broadcasting assets and make them useful?

Curious what the state of the market is...does your employer neither provide a device + service on their dime or a cash outlay that you could use for a device + service?

Forbes is less magazine (though it's still published) and more media publisher these days. They've done a pretty good job of positioning themselves amongst the younger crowd, especially those more interested in business.

"TL;DR: There are about 100K-200K unique workers on Amazon. On average, there are 2K-5K workers active on Amazon at any given time, which is equivalent to having 10K-25K full-time employees. On average, 50% of the worker population cha

Apple don't get nearly enough credit for the thought and effort they put into these sorts of features. The same goes to their dedication to accessibility, which is industry-leading and honestly pretty inspiring.

Forget the average consumer...it's pretty much guaranteed there will be an outline.com link posted on any paywalled article on HN (along with the usual paywall complaint) and this crowd seems to fancy itself above the average consumer.

Anecdotally, I sense consumer preference has changed pretty heavily to streaming first, with the occasional renting or purchase of a movie or sports event via VOD. Another commenter posted about media format fatigue, and that's likely
