For whatever reason, the cost issue is completely missing from the dem primary debates on healthcare. Everything so far has been focused on health insurance coverage, and the candidates are really just debating what is the best way to cover

The most interesting thing about this whole thing is how irrational the public market can be, especially at a time when there’s so much scrutiny on private valuations. I don’t remember the highest marketcap the company reached but it was

I wouldn’t look too deep into it. Private valuations are mostly meaningless. This goes for everyone.

I was surprised to find that Miami Beach has free trolleys and Hollywood (CA) has a free nighttime (weekend?) shuttle as well here in the US.

I mean these companies have been getting crushed in the last week or so when the rest of the market has been rising. Medallia and Slack near all time lows since IPO.

There seems to have been a few big moves down among recent SaaS IPOs (Slack, Medallia, CrowdStrike). Not sure why the market is suddenly fearful, though objectively these are mostly still overpriced.

I wonder why mopeds have never taken off in the US. Seems more practical than a scooter for medium to long distances within a city. I have relatives in Taiwan and mopeds are everywhere there (and other parts of Asia).

The landlords that jack up rent more than 8% a year, at least in SF, are the commercial landlords of large apartment complexes like Avalon. At the very least this will stop the ones managing older complexes built 2004 and earlier from doing

Rent wasn’t that much cheaper 5 years ago, if at all, save renting one of the luxury high rises.

For those living in SF, this significantly expands the number of eligible apartments for rent control. Right now only multi-unit homes/apartment complexes built before June 1979 have rent control. Now everything (except single family h

I wonder what'd the courts would say if Uber decided to charge a nominal fee (say $1/year) for the driver app in the App Store? That would make it more obvious that it's a piece of software that is being licensed by drivers f

Uber's defense is that it is licensing lead generation software to drivers, and that it just takes a commission from each trip as payment for use of its software. In many ways, I can see it. I think the issue lies in a lot of Uber&#x27

I didn't realize 690 was the cut off for "subprime." I thought that was generally considered "ok/good" but not really that bad.

It isn't right now, but if you buy at this valuation you're betting that they can diversify away from memberships as their main source of revenue to something more "techy." Personally I am bearish because I don't th

Really curious what happens to the stock price of these companies if a progressive dem like Warren or Sanders wins. I mean, on election day will the price of these stocks drop double digits? Doesn't seem like these risks have been pric

Ultimately I don’t think it matters much. I’ve only very rarely seen promoted news stories in my feed from media companies - I don’t think spending money to promote links to articles is very widely used at all.
