The prospect of Warren alone could crash the market as we draw closer to 2020. The first leg will be health care then the rest. I am actually not against her ideas but deeply concerned about implementation.

Just out of curiosity, is Apple migrating away from Lightning toward USB-C? $70 for one key is a bit steep especially if Apple eventually shelves Lightning on iPhones.

Stock buy backs lead to higher market concentrations. That’s the biggest economic impact of the past 5-7 years from cheap money afforded to large AND profitable corporations.

I believe we need to move away from fines and force corporations to give up voting shares. A special class of shares with little to no financial benefit held by public trusts.

I don’t get this metric especially after they specifically disclosed that their metrics could be off by as much as 5% last quarter from “fake” accounts (which they oddly didn’t disclose financially).

What is free trade though? If you think about it, it’s a form of resource and labor transfer. From poor countries to wealthy ones without reverting to colonialism.

Nope but they give you an option to block people from commenting on your non-existent channel which is the most useless feature for 99.9% of the users. I just don’t understand why Youtube refuses to add this very simple feature.

I would like to see ToysRUs reinvent the retail space a bit. Something like a subscription model where you can bring kids to play with new toys and take it home. They need to make it a destination for parents because there is something abou

Crypto busted last year and that took a lot of people out of the system including the secondary coins (which was the main driver of bitcoin prices as people mined newer coins and exchanged them into btc). Btc is rising simply because it&#x2

Put it differently, banks have failed to implement something more efficient and the “bitcoin” innovators have also failed on practical aspects. As a result we have a void and it’s anyone’s game right now. Facebook is throwing money at it. A

It is sad that Zuckerberg chose to squander all that capital on frivolous endeavors at Facebook. He could have done so much. This is what gets me the most: "We believe that a global currency and financial infrastructure should be desig

I remember when BMW didn’t want to put in cup holders.

Not when it’s the entire world against them. Public opinion is overwhelming now but it will only get worse with time. I personally don’t think it’s all on Zuckerberg but the politics will make it so.

Antitrust discovery will be juicy. It’s going to make the Microsoft witch-hunt look tame in comparison.

I am waiting to buy Herman Miller chairs for pennies on the dollar. Remember those days?

To this day, I don’t understand why Wal-mart didn’t buy UPS a decade ago.

The biggest consequence of easy money is market concentration afforded by stock repurchases of the past decade. I don’t know if we will ever be able to return to anything even close to normalized ten-year rate. People couldn’t “deal” with 3

Jobs was a visionary. Mark Zuckerberg, on the other hand, has failed to inspire anything in the industry.

I rather like Windows machines in 2019. I believe Apple fumbled the “Pro” market big time but it’s really not something worth for them to chase in my view. I really see this new iteration more as a goodwill gesture to their pro user base th

I realize this is probably not a popular opinion but Amazon, Google and Facebook are natural monopolies in the businesses they operate in. That is to say the optimal market structure in almost all internet businesses is high concentration w

This is likely to end with Facebook divesting Instagram at the least. I think it’d be interesting to see Systrom back in charge at Instagram.

This is helpful for some of us doing data science and ML with consumer-grade GPUs.

This is not a problem specific to passive funds. Many companies are structured this way and professional investors are OK with it. Look at BABA for example. I will say this: the whole point of equity is to give you control and dividends. If

I have put off an idea because it’s not technologically feasible yet. However, that’s given me years of tinkering with the same idea in my mind, therapeutic to some extent.

There’s a sizable market for used Land Cruisers. People will fly across the country or buy cars sight unseen.

Damodaran is “overvalued” and grossly undervalued the entire tech landscape over the past decade. I would not call him an expert in anything.

Please just give us the ability to blacklist channels. That’d increase usability by 10x for me.

We know how an autonomous car will drive in a system made up of mostly human drivers. But what we do not know is what that system will look like when autonomous cars take over. That’s a huge leap and I don’t think we have yet to even addres
