The problem is the old airbnb that you describe would probably cap at a few billion $ market cap. The one with investor-landlords optimizing everything and squeezing out every last bit of profit gets airbnb closer to that juicy $35B exit th

Also rich people don't have that problem. They live in condos in big cities, or on properties far enough from their neighbors that the only landscaping noise they hear is their own.

Are you surprised that insider trading is occurring or just that it is blatantly obvious in this specific instance? This kind of thing happens regularly by all sorts of players. That's part of the reason retail investors should just bu

Changing your service provider for bad thing X is not “doing your bit”

When you're boycotting company A for doing bad thing X, but then using the services of company B for doing bad thing X, then that's hypocritical. If company B were doing different bad thing Y, then that's a different story.

How is it possible that we don't have mandatory driving tests once you reach certain ages, ie 80, 85, 95+? I just heard the other week that my friend's great-great grandma (98 years old) is still driving. If someone that old can

That sounds like a really shitty vet. I would stop going to one who is peddling products to me that I can’t find anywhere else.

I also have a good friend who is a vet who laughs at people spending 5x as much on hippie dog food brands that either don’t do anything good or make things worse. He has had 4 dogs all live past 15 and only fed them the cheapest big brand n

They need to work on making their products things you really want as opposed to commodities. They do a terrible job of marketing new TVs. When I need a new TV I go to best buy or look online and notice some new models have seeped out onto t

Yes I do lose most disputes regardless of what the situation is, and I did forget about the $15 fee. I guess it really depends on the type of business, will probably make sense for some, but as a consumer I do see a lot of small businesses

Stripe are not idiots, if they’re losing a significant amount of money on this offering to a specific merchant, they’re going to close your account.
