I think the profit motive is downstream from the root causes. There are MANY issues with higher education at the moment. IMO, federally backed loans which can't be discharged in bankruptcy is the single worst factor.

Does AirGradient have any options that are connected and powered via PoE? The Awair Omni looks like a great option for what I imagine I'd like to set up but it would be nice to support Air Gradient if possible.

IMO we'll see sectors fall and start to recover at varying times and its going to be difficult to assess the economy in aggregate. Rates will continue to bleed out non-productive companies but large zombies might be able to survive. An

Previous high interest rate environments were accompanied by population growth and increases in labor productivity. I don't think there is any historical comparison to a high rate, no population/productivity growth scenario. I thi

Twilio hit its all time high around Jan 2021, $435/share. In the 12 months following that he sold roughly $160M in stock, riding the price down to about $250/share. And he even got a 75,000 share grant last March after that perfor

No worries - I was just thinking since they have about 4 billion in cash that would have given them a very short runway to turn things around. Now I'm very curious to see how the numbers look come Wednesday.

Where are you seeing this number? Latest 10-Q I see a burn of about a billion through 3 quarters in 2022 from Operating Activities. There were also a ton of insider sales by the C suite last year. Not getting a warm and fuzzy feeling about

I doubt many Etsy sellers are running their business on an accrual basis to be eligible for depreciation expense. Beyond that Inventory is a non-depreciable asset. If they're not generating any revenue they can't claim COGS. Any o

It sounds like you're describing a classic COGS scenario. Not sure I see the loophole, can you expand?

If Adani Group is as big as it seems from the recent attention they've been getting (I am totally naive to the Indian economy) it should be safe to assume they have some involvement with international banks. If so, what's the pote

So you're suggesting a company can't hire employees unless they have positive income/cash flow? Like, a legal requirement? How do you even suggest a company tells employees of "the risk they are taking"? No job is g

I don't think its quite that simple without knowing who specifically was laid off, tenure, specialty, for what reason, etc. I cant imagine anyone would hire people with the intention of laying them off, so I can't agree with that
