The ongoing attacks on Google are crazy to me. Google has done wonders for all of us - remember how terrible search engines used to be? Do you remember how terrible email was before Gmail? How awful MapQuest was before Google maps? In my op

I think there is a strong and concerted attack on our best companies such as Google, Facebook, and Amazon. This is being financed by truly evil actors. Please notice that no one talks about the dictatorships rising around the world in Russi

I think we will see a Tiananmen Square style end to this protest soon. Technology has put too much power in the hands of a few unscrupulous dictators. I think we will see even Western countries fall this time around.

Missiles generally are far faster than fighter planes. Remember anti-aircraft missiles themselves are missiles. There's a chance that these nuclear missiles could even outrun those. These weapons are an enormous existential threat to p

"In a barter exchange one good is traded directly for another. This form of exchange requires a double coincidence of wants, meaning that each trader has what the other trader wants and wants what the other has. Without a double coinci

I have never seen an inflation adjusted lease in any of the commercial leases I've done.

I think the parent and grandparent comments miss the point of the article. This is basically a return to the barter system because the Chinese monetary system is not able to meet businesses needs. This should be a giant red flag to Chinese

Bezos appears to believe the market has peaked and has sold $3b in Amazon over the last week.

I thought the market topped at 3 years ago, I've been in bonds ever since and missed out on a near doubling. I'm not worried about that though as if the market had crashed I would be in a far worse position. Discretion is the bett

I own a large web design agency, do you have options for partnership? We are always interested in new tools and better ways of doing things for our clients.

I agree with this comment, I also live in Los Angeles and there is tons of transportation options ranging from bus to light rail to Uber to lyft. We should be pushing people to get rid of their cars instead of keeping them.

I am using pixel 2 on Google Fi. My monthly bill is around 20 or $30 per month. The phone is rock solid and has no malware or bloatware and I see myself using it for several more years. I think that could be one of the reasons for sales fal

I have heard the argument from my grandpa and other old people that there's a conspiracy of scientists and liberal media people to get more government funding by claiming climate change is real. The madness behind this conspiracy theor

Tesla's statement is actually accurate in crashes with fixed objects. Yes, vehicle weight must be accounted for in multi vehicle crashes, But there's no way to do a comparison if you do that. Who knows if you're crashing into

I own a website development company with 180 employees and sadly the ADA has been very abused by ambulance chasing attorneys. I have had several of my customers receive scammy demand letters for missing minor alt tags and things like that.
