I mean, I would argue that last night is an outlier. The game plan was to give the ball to Kobe, they wanted him to shoot. Look at his career and I think it's a different story.

I think it's primarily health & age. It's less taxing to take shots outside than to try to drive up to much bigger, younger players constantly. I'd also say that as he got older, his athletic ability declined (injuries an

I think Apple does a combination. Both (from the article) of hosting on AWS, Google, & Microsoft, but also on its own data centers. I suppose it also depends on what is being hosted. If you look at Netflix & Dropbox, they both took

It's incredibly difficult to short an IPO within the first 30 days because the SEC requires the underwriter to wait at least 30 days to lend out shares for shorting. So then you'd have to get a retail or institutional investor who
