Yes the line between "information leak" and "insider trading" sounds thin. Information leak sounds like a convenient excuse. The fact that the price jumped when the announcement was made, not when the leak first happened

Yes, it would be interesting to know how much of progress (on racial issues, gay marriage, etc) drives from the new generation replacing the old vs people from the wrong side of history changing their minds.

A $1000 fee, or fees per download, gets rid of hobbyists, passion projects, and open source apps. For example [Bookplayer.]( https://github.com/TortugaPower/BookPlayer ) It should be worth it to Apple to review and host

88% of trump voters were white: https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2018/08/09/for-most-tru... The photo shows 6 white trump supporters, a 46% chance if they sampled randomly. Does not seem racist to me

Yes this doesn’t make any sense as a “study”, just an ad for docsend. The Harvard study they referenced https://gap.hks.harvard.edu/investors-prefer-entrepreneurial... is much better

Yes. This is one of the worst products (most invasive) I have seen. I would hate to be sent a docsend link

We could start by pricing in the negative externalities more accurately.

The linked article I found more convincing: https://gap.hks.harvard.edu/investors-prefer-entrepreneurial... The original article someone could argue “this just shows men make better pitch decks” which is clearly not the cas

Even if they did pass the savings to the consumer completely, they would still likely make more money as more people buy it. This effect is much larger than the $1 they gain

A billion dollars controlled by a single private key. Makes me nervous to even think about. I wonder how it’s sharded/backed up/secured. It’s worth it for an attacker to spend a million dollars for a 0.1% chance of stealing access

A lot of work here is done on predictive prefetching. What if the application had a richer way of communicating with the IO layer instead of a series of reads? For example reading and processing data in a loop, it could first say that it wi
