But for how long? "Apple Watch shipments were a different story, with Apple being the only company to post a year-on-year decrease in shipments - almost 58% down" That's from IDC's 2nd quarter report. I appreciate that y

Well the Gen 1 version suffered from ever decreasing sales. So right now it would seem as though the HN crowd and general public are in sync when it comes to interest in the watch. I guess you could argue GPS support could create a strong u

Yes I think this is key. If you can leave your phone behind for runs, hikes, biking etc I think it becomes very useful in it's own right. Right now you're still probably going to take that phone for emergency/connection issue

Honestly, I think you just did a great job of describing FitBit vs Apple.

I'm not sure, but i feel like what is missing here is "Stripe does some things differently to other payment providers, via our immediate onboarding via a sub merchant account. Prior to Stripe, everyone had to go through pages of p

To be clear, they missed their sales goal. So sales were down. The challenge with Tesla is they do not have a good history of being open and honest about what his happening inside Tesla. So perhaps they missed their sales goals because it w

To give the other perspective, I think investors and writers fairly expect that Tesla should be able to give accurate predictions 90 days ahead of time. Tesla tells the market how many cars they will deliver to customers. And they get it wr

At first it seemed like a brilliant Russian ploy to hack the DNC to make them look back and help Trump. Two strongmen unite! Great work!! Now it's happened again and it seems like a brilliant ploy by the Democrats to make it look like

yes but how does that approach help drum up awareness in their startup?! this thing has viral posting written all over it. (I actually have no issue with a startup doing this if it helps them)

Great catch. I should have said "why he isn't recommending prosecution"

Quick question. Do you work for a startup now with options? Or, have you in the past? I'm trying to work out if people who object to options would ever join startups. Or, if they're appetite for risk is too small to be a potential

The thing is, these are like conspiracy theories. Any rebuttal is proof you are hiding something! The Director of the FBI lays out very clearly what he found, why he won't prosecute, and that this was impartial. But you dismiss all tha

It feels like this was the bar: "All the cases prosecuted involved some combination of: clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information; or vast quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to support an infer

My take, and I could be wrong, was "We were looking at criminal charges via the legal system. There are other forms of (less severe) punishment like security and administrative sanctions that are often applied."

I think it's been proven that "losing an awful amount of money" does not equal "an awful business" It might - but that alone is not proof. Many businesses invest (pour more money in during an early phase than they m

That awkward balancing act they do between "I'm gone but don't be too scared I'm still here but really I'm gone" I mean this is like a sentence tennis match: ```Although this news may feel sudden to some, this

Agree with all 3. Just think the ordering would be from 3 to 1. And not just massive data points but an actual big built in customer for your self driving vehicles.

"Flee if pushed to pay". This uses a very narrow definition of pay. The reach into your pocket to pay cash that you earned. But there are other ways to pay - ie with something else of value to you (time/attention), your vote

Is his business model any different to me selling my own dish, intercepting Dishtv/satellite streams, redirecting it to my users and inserting my own ads in place of the ones already being shown?

That is certainly true.

This is a challenging line of reasoning. "I provided value to you and would like to be compensated" is a pretty basic foundation of all work and providing services. There will always be people happy to write Medium posts on the we

I think the issue is mostly how they're bricking the device. Can't they let it keep running while no longer providing any support?
