I agree, I think the days of someone like Yang polling 5% in some places, but getting left out of tons of media, pushed aside on the debate stage, etc will come to an end. The media generally pretends like Bernie Sanders doesn't exist,

No one has said it yet to my surprise. Arguably the most trusted news outlet in America today is the financial times. Wall Street Journal at one time was a competitor, but it feels like less so today. I would support the argument made previ

That’s a great question, I’d say with the rise of Asia so many companies are targeting android and so Java engineers are arguably more in demand than swift engineers, I’ve heard a number of engineers say this and it’s consistent with my exp

I was recently transitionally homeless for about 3-4 months. Over that period I slept on over 20 couches, floors, and beds. The closest I got to sleeping on the street were 2 times when I had no where to sleep after 4 pm and no one to reach

Yes, I realize this, and my belief is that American needs to decouple with China and bring the total net trade between the two down by 70-80%, leaving rare earths, agriculture, and some manufacturing left in the balance of trade. When two s

I am genuinely curious here, when one player has a free market and the other does not, how do you think that will work out? Do you believe that America can remain dominant while its companies get 85% access to the world population and Chine

I suppose the message that is sent here is : 'if you want to recruit you'll have to do it on Snapchat, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook instead of the one Chinese based app' Is that not fair?

The fed’s balance sheet went from roughly 4 t down to I think ? 3.5 T and now it’s ramping up again at the top of cycle + lending hundreds of billions a month to banks in the repo markets. Given the pace we’re going at now I doubt we’ll be

I’m currently working on a new platform in the long form video space, it offers a new take on video other than just what YouTube and Vimeo do. My question is, how willing are people to try something new in this space? Are you? I’m planning
