Yeah, there’s no way that’s correct. A project making $40k net is not magically worth half a million dollars. Unless there is some equally magical tech running the business, or some other underlying voodoo/hidden value asset, that figu

If you give up the wireless portion of that, you have a ton of options. I have an ortho keyboard, wired, and don't mind the wire at all... for travel it's easy enough (my Preonic keyboard from Massdrop came with a case) and the st

I think consistently improving existing products is just as good as, and oftentimes preferable to, creating entirely new products.

Apple and Microsoft are arguably much better off today with their new leaders than they might've been. I don't see your point? I think Facebook, too, could use a new face at the top as a matter of fact.

Many of those shorts are exiting their positions, or already have, and taken their losses. They're the ones who can afford their losses. Perhaps there are some funds still holding out their end of the short war, but by the time this is

I have to assume you meant the Amazon product with the url suffix "dp/B087NN41JH/". This seems to be the highest reviewed result for search term "webcam", at least on my page. Here on HN, we have a savvy audien

I had a whole long thing typed out. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt instead, and assume you didn't mean to generalize suburbs and exurbs as racist and homophobic, artless, desolate and uncivilized places. I live in a quaint

Funny that your comment is downvoted. Induction is both safer, more efficient, and easier to control. I can dial my stovetop into an exact temperature, and a pot of water boils under a minute.

You have to assume the strategy here was along the lines of: offer insanely creator-biased production contracts to get A-listers to participate in this awful medium, grow the user base, eject the early bait content and transition over years

Two things, really: if you turn down an acquisition that you feel your employees supported, you don’t get to do the “surprised pikachu face” when you turn it down and they go work there anyway. Secondly, it’s presented as if these engineers
