Please stay in my coffee shop. Although that person is using your internet with a $4 coffee, they're occupying space after everybody "is gone"(9am-11am and 1pm-4pm), contributing with their physical presence. A newcomer, that

This is a fairly broad and inaccurate statement: emerging markets are way beyond China. If you follow the booming countries until/if they burst you will make more money in that time frame.

Scientifically studying sex should be a top priority for our society. In both ends of the spectrum, but particularly in radical feminists, theories are influenced by ideologies and politics, hurting society at large. Recently, a feminist(pr

Reddit is undergoing a gradual decline, whose climax might have been this. While Pao is also blamed, these problems are a reflection of a long-standing centralized management team.

Whereas I like the idea, large hedge funds will still exist and thrive on their fee structure. These rely on a considerable sum of institutional investors, where tipping wouldn't be feasible.

Quite unusual for the finance industry : a small win for capitalism and loss for crony corporatism.

With Google's amount of data, 2 trips will 'force' drivers to restrict input to commuting habits and have more insights on it. Google still holds 5% of Uber. For commuting, I'd call it Uber's abandonment and Lyft&#x

For most high-exec types, cultural fit is one of the only excuses to justify their position and achievements. The technical barriers for these jobs are very small, but as corporations have a self-reinforcing cronyist culture, "acting a

Beyond YAY!'s, the state is saying it will 'let' you love someone of the same sex. Can someone sense the creepiness in this? It tells you how/who/why you should love. It still doesn't include certain groups and

Beyonds VCs and startups, focusing solely on growth mostly hurts founders themselves. I've met some that, because of ego and narcissism, ignored profitability, raising unnecessary money and eventually losing autonomy and control.

I find the title to be somewhat misleading as it tries to get readers' attention. Most of the article is related to the Blockhain, but "won't need us" makes most assume it's purely related to automation.
