TSLA stock is up over 7% after hours now. ~$15 billion of "value" created out of thin air. Sounds ridiculous.

$10-30 trillion is probably not a valuation that should be or will be allowed by regulators. The business would have to be split up.

Not sure why this is downvoted. It’s a perfectly valid “serverless” architecture. The only downside is that it can get quite messy maintaining.

Not sure why there are so many negative comments. This is a win and sets a great example that hopefully other companies can follow. Yes, software engineers at FB have probably no (or very little) problem working from home and get their $200

(It’s called “market making”) It doesn’t necessarily require long term trends to be profitable. It just requires the short term trend to be mean reverting, which is usually the case for markets. Of course, you need a little more sophisticat

Seems to me the bank should take more care for resetting a user's internet banking password. For example as far as I know, all banks in the UK need you to call them up and answer a couple of verification questions before reseting any l

I’d love for them to make the same phone with an average camera for half the price. I want a smartphone that has a camera and not a camera that had a smartphone.

This is probably applicable to a lot of other services. I always find it weird that if I accidentally enter the wrong code, I get to try again instead of being sent a new one.

What was the most challenging part about implementing this?

Yes, they made money from the commissions as well as shorting the stock and later buying it back for cheaper.

From my experience people are not concerned about me not drinking, but rather they’re extremely surprised that such a thing exists and want to know the reason why. The answer “because I enjoy myself without it and I don’t want to get drunk”

One could argue that the consumers are the ones paying this too. Sales tax is almost always passed onto the consumer in the form of raised prices.

No. Humans memorise algorithms for different patterns and then apply them. Humans don’t solve a rubic’s cube by trying to find the least moves.

One of the reasons why there are so many sequels and less unoriginal movies from big studios. Big franchise names almost always perform according to expectations, even if the movie is bad.

100% agree. Look at the diversity of CS courses at top universities. If minorities and females are not represented there then how can you expect companies who hire top talent to have them?

I agree with most of your points, except with volatility. If bitcoin becomes a global currency then it will have a much higher market cap than now and global support. This means it will have equivalent volatility to the dollar or euro. As a
