The ad network is for ads on partner sites, not on Facebook itself. It's Facebook's version of Google's DoubleClick.

Yes, completely agree. The stimulus could have paid out around $5,500 to every individual. Most of that would have trickled back up to the top 1% anyway, but it would have helped everyone on the way.

Meanwhile millions of people approved for unemployment benefits still aren't getting paid. Not cool.

On the flip side, if VCs decide their money is better spent in Provo or Austin than SV, there might be a move toward wage equilibrium. 20 years ago, tech was still a toy to the average person and lawyers were the ones in high demand. The th

What if the other person costs less because they're being paid under the table? Unfortunately, that's been the case in a lot of lower income and manual labor jobs. Construction and landscaping are notable examples. If the buyer on

To make matters far worse, the government subsidizes low-wage employers with the income based social programs in place, and tampers with supply to keep wages in check. We have nothing close to a free market for labor. Unfortunately, it&#x27

I wonder if it's not a cost cutting move? Buy GrubHub, merge it with UberEats, and then layoff all the redundant roles? Without just looking like a sinking ship?

Commissions are a major reason why the market lacks liquidity. When someone buys a house, they're immediately 6% below market value, just from commissions. To each their own. Redfin was a fantastic experience for us. The advice was rat

Not a lawyer. Tesla competes with GM, Ford, etc. Tesla is not a local business. Tesla's primary trade is interstate commerce. Court may decide the county is unfairly restricting Tesla and giving an unfair advantage to competitors. Also

Serious question. How did you feel about Uber/Airbnb, all the scooter companies, all the e-commerce companies that were/are ignoring local laws to operate? Is this somehow different? If so, how?

Serious question. Steve Jobs outsourced the work to FoxConn and others in China, where suicide and rsi were rampant. How is that better?

Yup. Sold our house in January using Redfin. Best realtor we've dealt with and saved 2%. Also watch out for realtors saying you need upgrades and recommending contractors. They likely are getting a kickback, and by boosting the listing

Why is it amusing? Not the commenter you responded to, but am bullish on Tesla and bearish on Uber. I don't see the parallels between Uber, a taxi broker, and Tesla, a vertically integrated energy and automotive company. What is your p

Ads are just conversations at scale. Elon Musk has conversations at scale on Twitter, no ads needed. If you know who would use your product, find them and have conversations. Talking to real people is the first step to great ads anyway. If

Analysis paralysis is real. For the majority of businesses, the opportunity cost of properly testing all available options is higher than any potential gains. It's like asking a developer if their code really "worked", even t
