Not sure how your personal anecdote comes into play. So you have replaced your phone every 2 years while it's still working, good for you. But have you considered that some people will replace their phone only when it's broken bey

You can only pardon people by name. There will be many more arrests to come after Trump leaves office when the FBI have gone through all the social media posts.

Wow, the arrogance in this post to say all high schoolers can't relate to the Great Gatsby. Is this is just projection?

If you go into the "Biden wins White House..." thread, there's actually quite a lot about COVID, seeing how political it became.

This would be great for coffee chains. Some people think that when you bring you own cup to Starbucks, it'll save a paper cup. This is actually not true. The barista has to use pour the coffee to a new cup and then they'll pour in

If China ever bans FB in Hong Kong, will that be the single largest drop in users in a single day for FB?

That's not true at all. The more valuable something is, the more likely it'll be recycled. Take cars for example. The entire frame is recycled. The motor oil gets recycled. The lead battery gets recycled. Heck, Tesla's ex-CTO

I wonder how long before services like Facebook is banned in HK under the new Security law. One interesting thing to see is whether Facebook would comply with censorship requests to appease the PRC. If not, could this be the single largest

Nah, golf industry will be fine. If a technology is so advantageous, then it will eventually become the counter to itself. Imagine several drone swarming around you like a body guard and you would have several orbital layers for short/

Not to be pedantic, Sony and Nintendo can't both be monopolies here by its very definition. They vie for the very same market share.

Did you read the article entirely? `And that makes you wonder what contingencies the company has put into place in the event that it is someday taken over not by greedy Bitcoin con artists, but state-level actors or psychopaths. After today

One thing this Pandemic brought about is the importance of contactless payment. Exchanging cash is unhygenic. Signing credit card receipts is unhygienic. Doing away with pennies should just be a starter.

I'll give credit to Mixer for 1 thing they did do well, you will only expect proper gaming channels. Nowadays, Twitch is filled with "Just Chatting" which you have people doing illegal watch parties of copyrighted content or

It's different when you are effectively a monopoly. EU fined Google for using it's search market size to promote sales of a certain product. The fine isn't because of the promotion. It's because of the implication of wha

That's not true. Periodontis may cause more beta amyloids but whether beta amyloids is the real cause of Alzheimers is not conclusive. Drugs that's suppose to down regulate beta amyloids have shown no efficacy on Alzheimer's.

Maybe it's a first world mentality to think oral procedures at the dentist are necessary. If it truly is, ie. in a life threatening way, then it should be treatable in the ER no? I guess the other reply put it more succinctly. It is ra

Very little oral procedures are essential. If people have to be in a lot of pain and otherwise not be able to function, they can get that checked at the ER.

You are right that most won't be happy, but any hiring will only occur after the pandemic is over because there's not enough personnel to do interviews right now. As for what happens after the pandemic, things might be back to nor

I think you misunderstood what our parent post meant. They are not questioning that airlines are not very profitable but that because of the low profit margins, the airlines should've saved those money and not spend it on stock buyback

if this is true then it was even more prudent for them to keep savings for the future and not do stock buyback.

If activist investors are so effective in demanding change, why don't more of them push for more changes in chaebols like Samsung? Seems like the more simplification there are, the more efficiency can be gained and the greater the stoc
