Right, because that cost is a bigger imposition on the family than dying. As my dad has had cancer twice and beat cancer twice so far, I am very thankful for those expensive cancer treatments. Keep them coming please.

Look at my comment above. Prices weren't even close to bubble levels. They were lower than anything we've seen post crash. Also I was clearly not talking about "betting" but rather investing. It's just not useful fo

Well, in 2002 the prices were not even remotely close to the peak, and they were lower than anything we've seen post crash to this point. I guess you could try to argue that we are still in a bubble, but I don't think most would a

That means he was at least partly if not mostly wrong. As far as markets go, you have to be right in both direction and timing. He was 4-5 years early, and frankly 2002 prices weren't that insane. Especially compared to 2006-2007 price

there is no data to validate either model. there are far far too many variables, and you can't test both of them side by side by definition. If one fails in a certain environment, you can't say the other would have succeeded. We&#

That's fine, but apple makes more profit every quarter than amazon has ever made I think. They have made several hundred billion dollars over the last few years. Who knows if amazon ever gets to flip the switch. Maybe they do, but even

Wow. That might be the most amazing machine I've ever seen. Even if it was an old-growth forest, I'd still just be impressed.

You act like you are the only developer in the world who has also studied finance. As it happens, you aren't.

why would premiums be higher than they are now? Premiums for automatic should be lower. No reason for current premiums to go up. With all other automatic cars on the road, even a man driven car is less likely to be in an accident than curre

My biggest mistake with my book was putting it on Amazon. As graeme mentioned, they limit your pricing options to basically $9.99. Over that you get 35%. Pretty much all of the successful stories you hear are from people pricing much higher

I'm just starting a new SaaS project. Google was immediately checked off as a source of anything for the project as it is too hard to know if the service will exist in a year.

That's silly. Google, Facebook, and Amazon barely existed at the beginning of this timeframe, and Apple was near death. Microsoft on the other hand was a several hundred billion dollar company. To expect similar growth rates is absurd,

I think the people who say Microsoft has been a huge failure for the last decade should take a better look at the numbers that matter. The stock price doesn't matter. In 2000, we were at the top of the tech bubble. Bubble means valuati

It hadn't been posted, this is the first I've seen it, and I thought it was pretty interesting. Doesn't seem that unreasonable.

You just said in the start of this thread that you use flipboard and only flipboard for your news. If that is true, he loses absolutely nothing by you not reading his content on flipboard.

This article is so bad I don't even know where to begin. Having a man save a women in a video game isn't sexist. This is a case of looking for a problem where there isn't one to get pageviews and clicks.
