When someone says 'china' hacked these companies, what does that even mean? The chinese version of the NSA, or FBI hacked these companies? Can anyone shed some light on this?

The problem with this statement is it worked, and gives me great hope in this company that they were smart enough to risk it. The FCC said no, you cannot launch the satellite you spent years developing for reasons that ended up being comple

Most of the points made in this are untrue. Lyft was the one to fight the battle of having 'ridesharing' become a thing. Uber didn't mind if the decision went one way or another as they already had a lockdown on the "pro

Not the OP, but it is not 'unrealized' as you say. Read enlightenment now by steven pinkerton. He has a whole book about how we are currently 'realizing' this 'future hypothetical utopia'

>Microsoft wasn't over when Gates died? When did Gates die? On a more serious note, they left after significant pass over and forsight that they were stepping down. They were both profitable, and they were not forced to step down.

the OP's post, and your post are not mutually exclusive. I think you both point out inherent flaws in the term "freedom of press" as it is currently understood in society. His point is that they are incentivied not burn bridg

There are a number of reasons I disagree with the conclusions reached in this article. For one, what the author calls 'rent-seeking behavior' (getting favorable regulation) is because a lot of the entrepreneurship we see in Americ

Exactly. If a small business doesn't use open table or duplex, no problem - I can just use duplex to schedule the reservation for me. Open table requires buy in from the restaurant, duplex doesn't.

If it was on the BigBank to always prove that their identity was indeed stolen, it would quickly become unmanageable. People would commit fraud in the opposite direction, by getting a huge loan from some a bank and claiming that their ident

Once the company goes public, the amount of money they raised is included in their finances, and not counted as a round. Take a look at the Amazon finances and you'll see how much they have raised on loans. The higher the stock price,
