Productive sessions like this are great, but this is one session with one kid with a new, intriguing technology. It is hardly enough experience to roll it out to schools, and it is certainly a huge jump to suggest it is better at teaching t

Other than a few extremely urban areas like NYC, car ownership is basically the same across most of the US. If you can only have 1 car, then you are saving money already compared to most families that require 2 or more cars; just get a larg

This is why myopic technical founders need a balanced partner to help recognize the blending of company mission and company implementation. However, it is natural for a myopic technical person to want to leverage their existing skillset, as

Quite simple. I do not need to download a web browser at all to run the desktop app. Deployment of the desktop app is simpler and provides the same or even more functionality without adding a complex desktop browser and sandbox container to

Recordings without audio in public spaces is generally allowed. In some states (single consent), audio is ok too.

New slogan and company name: “eyeRobot - we clean your floor and keep an eye on your stuff!” These types of leaks of information only damage the reputation of smart product makers even further. There really needs to be a push towards local

Why shut down the site if it was worth buying in the first place? It still had a half million users. Did JPM even bother looking at the website to see if it was worthwhile? This definitely casts a shadow of doubt on JP Morgan’s ability to v

> heck one even needs a different kind of car Why? Most couples have 2 cars anyway. Drive separately with 2-3 kids in each car or get an older, cheaper bigger car. First world problems.

Sorry for the nihilistic view, but sadly, we’d all probably be better off if we voted randomly regardless of the candidate’s party membership. Otherwise, we vote for the candidate that gets the most air time from our party of choice or issu

You can’t have it all. If you are top 20% of income and still have problems saving money, then the issue is most likely your spending patterns. Kids don’t have to be incredibly expensive; it is not necessary to pay for their college, send t

True, but you have it backwards. Web app needs user to download and install a web browser first; desktop app does not need anything downloaded first. Both can be started by clicking a link.

Blasphemy! More fun to deal with compatibilities of running in different browsers. Seems like we have returned full circle (25 yrs later) to a new form of ActiveX plugins.

Huge wage boost erased by increased supply and much higher living costs. Also, I am not convinced quality is the same and language barrier results in poor communication with patients. Let other countries have their doctors and train doctors

Removing unnecessary paperwork and the private insurance model altogether is great. Removing regulations and reasonable standards of care for doctors is the nightmare.

Ah. The good ol’ “steal the good workers from the poor countries to serve my wealthy country that doesn’t want to invest in training its own workers” argument. What happens when those workers are tapped and/or the cost/benefit for

Not sure I agree with this. Lower cost of care via single-payer would seem to create more jobs not less. Would be nice to find out though.

Just because a movie looks better doesn’t mean it is a better movie. There has been trash made during all eras, but today is about volume, not quality, so finding the gems is much harder and frustrating. Do we really need to have another mo

My analysis is not limited to the “most talked-about layoffs” (whatever that means) nor is it limited to some cherry-picked old cash-cow behemoths that are going to have much slower growth rates going forward. Possible exception is Facebook

Discounting of cash flows is not what I consider to be “financials”. Financials are the output / cash flows themselves not the speculative investment calculation of future flows given a determined discount rate. Initial cash flows weig

This mirrors what I am seeing as well. Lazy writing that produces a reaction of “why did they even bother making this movie?” despite the good actors and videography. Is it because good writers are difficult to find or, as with the actors,

Zoom stock went from $67 to $512 from Jan 2020 to Oct 2020. Zoom earnings reached around $1 per quarter EPS or $4 per year during its short heyday in 2021-2022. It would take a century of earnings to be worth that price.
