Not only this, but I get the feeling that Robinhood is bypassing some corporate social responsibility (and possibly fiduciary duties) if they begin suggesting/ allowing first time investors to start using margin accounts. This is just

In addition to what others have mentions, the returns are typically low as well. Going off what others said, since Google Adsense ads are targeted, that means your competitor would hypothetically be advertising on your own site, and second,

The fact that the Intel graphic appearing about halfway down the page suggests that the Core M is more suitable for "premium tablets", and "2 in 1's" further suggests to me that Apple has introduced the worlds most

The "Core M" is an interesting bit because although it's technically a Broadwell, it was released in September 2014, versus the other Broadwell Core i3/5/7's coming out in January of 2015.

The part you've omitted in the comparison is the year of your machine. I say this largely because measuring a processor by it's gigahertz isn't the most definitive measure of a "better" or "faster" process

I appreciate the response. I've done my fair share of cold emails, however I find that there's a threshold that I cross above often in which I won't receive a response. It's tough to build credibility in a few short line

If you don't mind sharing, may I ask how you knew/ approached these other YC Companies? Perhaps I'm naive, but I suspect a cold-email/ contact won't get me very far, especially since I'm not based in the Bay Ar

I posted something similar about Xiaomi about a week back. For me, Xiaomi is a fantastic company, but I think they are still unavailable to most Westerns... perhaps this is why we might not "care" about them? Having never lived in

It's not so much that it's difficult to explain, it's just tough to explain the credibility that this company has when someone hasn't heard of them. Like I originally mentioned, this dialogue is typically only from someo

RTM has been around for a long time. In fact, the screenshot shown in this post is dated 2007. You'd think if they were making a conscious attempt to rebuild this brand, they'd have at least updated that.

So essentially Microsoft is democratizing access to a gaming console for indie developers? Hopefully the offerings produced from this will surpass the quality of those from the overly-hyped Ouya console.

In my eyes, it's not so much that Radio Shack "ditched" the hobbyist, they just tried to get their share of a bigger market, and in turn had to subsidize their primary focus to a drawer of components in the back of the store.

Good point. Perhaps the data spike is more of the target demographic? I refuse to believe the most logical conclusion we can make from the data is that iPhone 6+ users view it as a tablet. I mean, if you used an iPhone 4 or 5, the 6 seems l

I suspect this is a factor of what I like to call the Apple "decay" factor. Year after year, when Apple pushes a new iPhone, your old iPhone becomes slower, making the gap between new and old artificially bigger. Case in point: iO
