No CEO cares about commercial real estate profits. It isn't a factor in any major company decision. Why not extend the baseless paranoia and say it is because they want to see auto company profits go up? And also support petroleum comp

It is hilarious that people think the second largest company on the planet, with a market cap over $5 trillion, spends even one second worry about the profit margins of commercial real estate companies, makes any decisions based on that, or

So the argument is that, even though age verification is required for this line of business in the real world, online it shouldn't be required because their ad-supported model won't be profitable?

Serverless restaurants have been common in Australia for decades. You just get a buzzer and then need to go pick up your food when it is ready. There's a single person behind the bar to take orders and pour beer/wine/soda.

Is it really any different than the thief who steals things just under the felony limit...but does it every day? In Texas the felony limit is $2,500. Is stealing $1000 on Monday, $1000 on Tuesday, and $1000 on Wednesday really so much bette

I found the initial lack of mention of the recent Supreme Court ruling weird and when I read the actual Circuit Court decision I felt the actual article was bad, biased journalism bordering on outright lying. The article spends a lot of tim

Kind of weird framing as "historic" and "violated the Constitution" when the actual decision from the court just says, "Following the Supreme Court’s recent decision in SEC v. Jarkesy, 603 U.S. 109 (2024), we hold t

Yep, everyone I know in Australia just uses the BOM (the government bureau of meteorology) app. (If they aren't just using whatever build in weather app they have, that is.) I've never understood what benefit any other app could p

I lived in a country where Netflix never bothered to open up (until very recently) so piracy never went away for the 100 million people living there.

The early hype of MOOCs wasn't "a few people in handful of fields will get up-skilled". If that was all they claimed there wouldn't have been early hype around transformative potential. Coursera had 1.7 million "stu

Why would there be outrage at laws when the article we're talking about specifically says this isn't about any laws but instead about a Mastercard rule about damaging their brand?

Disagree with him if you want but calling Thompson a grifter makes it hard for me to take anything Musharbash seriously or want to dive deeper into whatever he's written.
