The fact that Google/Youtube has zero support infrastructure should be evidence that they are a monopoly and engaging in monopolistic activity. If Google/Youtube were NOT a monopoly, they would have invested significant amount of

As far back as 15 years ago, Oracle had the reputation of being the company where people would come to work, close their office door, and then work on a second job or side project in peace and quiet. Oracle was/is powered by zero innov

Inside information doesn't have anything to do with market manipulation. The trader who caused the Flash Crash in 2010 was similarly prosecuted for artificially manipulating the markets. If Softbank was buying options to somehow manipu

How is this legal? If they are buying options to force the markets to rise like this, isn't this blatant market manipulation? Or is this okay because they have a lot of money?

Anyone can write any story they want in the age of the Internet. It doesn't make them right, it makes them lucky. Look at Peter Schiff. He correctly predicted the housing meltdown, and since then he's been consistently wrong for t

Medicine is very rarely about absolutes, it's mostly about how things get better or worse. When I was in the hospital, no one looked at the absolute values of my blood work, they cared to see if it dropped based on the treatment they s

If the virus were truly airborne, which it isn't, then simply walking through an empty room could get you infected. The levels of people getting infected, and subsequently getting hospitalized would be far worse than the worst scenes w

After this pandemic, doctors and scientists are going to have to come up with more media-friendly terms from now on. The problem is that "airborne droplets" and "airborne" sound too similar and it's very hard for re

The only reason why this hasn't been fixed is because even with this bug, people continue to keep using the product. So why bother fixing it? The only way to get Google to respond is to stop using their products. That's the only t
