Maybe if Cable is free but...most places it's ~$50 a month[1]. Which means the cost of entertainment is closer to $.53 per hour[2]. Which isn't cheap as cheap as you say. [1] - http://electronics.costhelper.com/cab

A taxi costs money and I doubt they'd take on that liability. Not all friends are ready to drop things on a hat. But...those are possible, cheaper options but not as cheap as free with purchase of a car, which was my point.

I know Tesla is a premium car but...image if the masses had access to an autopilot like this, or better. Many can't afford the ambulance costs. Autopilot can change this excessive cost on the market.

Great quote. I call it corruption, self-preservation that hurts the masses, and status quo thinking. Technology is going to hopefully disrupt all of this.

I think she's trying to buy more time with this decision. Think about it, she's not stupid, nor blind. She knows what she's doing and she screwed up with Starboard. She's trying to buy additional time with a rough contra

Some big takeaways: "Meanwhile, rates of suicide deaths are rising in the U.S. The rate jumped 24% from 1999 to 2014, from 10.5 to 13 per 100,000 people, according to an April 2016 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Preven

I'm not a fan of the public just repeating talking points. Namely, you are doing this as well because Mavens wasn't in existence pre-Mayer [1]. Maven IS a new product, you're very misinformed to think anything else. Yahoo isn

I felt this way too but...this WSJ article is indirectly [1] confirming the success of Mayer's turnaround. Mobile is where the AD revenue is since there are very few iOS/Android AD blockers like uBlock Origin (and other desktop&#x

This idea is too simplistic. Although I used to support it. I've changed my position from yours to 'retrained and demotion' position. Since people make mistakes, I think being 'barred from further work' is counter-p

It would need to be a concerted effort, imo. Not just one or two actors. But if enough market share made the move, the benefits? Numerous. As I already outlined, in my OP. In addition, to what I said, the (new) market would cut out all midd

Also, if you have been a customer with Tmo for less than 5 years you can only get 80 shares (limited to 20 shares/refs per 3 months). And if you've been with them longer than 5 years, then you'd only need 50 refers to get 100

Hmm. That's bizarre. Heck, innovation isn't stagnant. Maybe they did do this. Could become bad PR for FB, if proven.

I sadly think those numbers are low-balled. But also, everyone complies their stats differently. I have 10 credit cards. I find it strange the average is barely 2. Most people I know hold ~5 but only use 1-2. But I also think the average de

I agree the $1800 price tag is a bit much. Not only that, if it truly were a 'commuter solution', it wouldn't need new wheels so often. I don't think this company is thinking about long-term and sustainability enough. Wh
