Maybe I'm cynical but I think most of their success can be attributed to advertising/marketing. They've done a good job of that. In quality though, I don't consider them better than Huawei or Xiaomi.

I remember when "everyone" pinned the success of the Prius on it looking different from normal cars. Many articles said that if the Prius had looked like a normal car it wouldn't have had sales from people who wanted to show

One datapoint: In Germany, Altbau (old construction) apartments are quite sought after especially in cities. Whether that's because of their location (older apartments tending to be in historical areas) or their construction quality or

blablacar and mitfahrgelegenheit.de were built primarily for poor-ish people and students. And these are sites/apps which have a good UX for the purpose of finding and booking rides, or offering rides. So I can't agree that you ca

Dell subreddit and forums are absolutely full with problems. Personally I would stay away from Dell anything, maybe only their Latitude line with a good on-site warranty.

The process described in the blog post sounds more appealing to me, it is with multiple people in a social setting where you can get to know people in different departments, rather than by yourself at a desk. Quite often you will never get

This... I can't even understand this. Couldn't you sue the bank/broker for this? Adverse execution?

SPACs may be better for the companies, but the SPAC bear market of 2021 also shows that they can be horrible for retail.

I had seen it even before Instagram took hold. People, especially younger people, are shifting to a bimodal distribution where they are either extremely in-shape and enthusiastic about the gym lifestyle, or very out-of-shape. It seems the b

I don't like how you're blaming the author of the article here. My experience is that people, be it from the business or from the Product team or Sales or wherever, are happy to ignore documentation and come directly to the person

IPOs are a game of "let the institutional investors exit and leave retail holding the bag" I'm not investing in any IPOs unless it's at fire sale prices, and I know my line in the sand where I will take a loss rather tha

It's one way to look at the increase in men picking up body-building as a hobby if they are competing with other men for the attention of women.

If the teachers are so good at these exams that they can flash-solve them, why aren't they doctors? Surely that pays better than teaching at a cram school?

I disagree with the proposition that it is impossible to pick good companies. Anyone with half a brain could have invested in AMD as Zen 1 and Zen 2 came out, and the writing was on the wall for Intel. Same goes for other industries, if you

My point is that ETFs by definition are a group of stocks, often grouped by sector unless talking about a whole-market ETF. For example you could have invested in SPY, or QQQ, or IWM at the bottom of the bear market in 2008, and walked away
