Interestingly enough, back in the day when ripple was first starting it was heavily promoted by the wall street crowd as being superior to bitcoin because it was "regulated". The logic was that ripple could better be incorporated

Yes we basically need everyone to get it who is willing to get it because we want to eradicate as much of the virus in the population as possible. Also as a society we need to encourage everyone to get the vaccine and do whatever possible t

I don't see it as a problem. Innovation is accelerating with new business models and so on. Adoption curve for new technologies could be occurring quicker as well thanks to social media (easier to "spread the word" about new

Yeah very true I guess. I guess the big eye opener now is that cell phones are cheap and high speed mobile data is cheap so that allows anyone to become a "citizen reporter" so to speak. If something serious is happening, it is ve

Exactly and this is the dirty little detail that people don't want to realize. People think you can just censor right wing misinformation but guess what happens? The right wing movements simply create their own websites and start block

Agree. Another big problem I've noticed is that there are so many partisan news sources. If you are liberal, you go to CNN which has a liberal spin to it. If you are conservative, fox news. The problem is each one is adding their own b

The lump-sum fee is just an example number. It could be less for smaller rentals but the point is still there. You need to force new hosts to "prove" they're going to be honest and have a penalty for those who aren't hon

While those are certainly negatives. I could see AirBnB turning into a double-edged sword for communities. Yes, AirBnB would bring in some nuisances but it would also bring in tourists - who spend money in your community. Areas that ban Air

Not a concern at all. For IPO type companies, the objectives is to grow as fast as possible. Losses in the short-term don't matter.

Enormous but keep in mind how many "failed" startups you would have to go through before finding an AirBnB type investment, especially early on.

Easiest solution is to force new hosts to provide a "surety bond" to basically be an honest host. Maybe make them pay 10-25k lump-sum in cash. After a certain amount of guests have visited the offering then the money can be return

I look at IPOs quite differently than most. For me, I am looking at the fundamental business. For me the usual questions are: Does the company have a legitimate business advantage that can establish market dominance? How easy is it to rep

This personally saved my house during the recent CA wildfires. We have community events where we cut down brush behind the community. The fires burned up to the area where we stopped cutting the brush and it allowed for enough buffer to bas

Heard many of the accusations made in this film are fabricated. For example, I heard that the film makers paid some of the women in the film to say stuff that MacAfee never engaged in. So I would watch this documentary with a skeptical mind

You just apply for it but recently fire insurance companies have been pulling out of the market or skyrocketing their rates. Many homeowners are now simply opting out of it....a very risky move. If I were those homeowners, I would see the w

Let the individual decide what to do. It does not matter how YOU FEEL about it, what matters is what the worker wants to do. If the person doesn't want to work for the low rates then they're free to leave and do something else. Mo

My experience with investing tells me that you will never get a good investment at a fair value, you always have to pay a premium for it. There is a pretty consistent pattern in my stock portfolio. The stocks that I overpaid for ended up be

This is exactly the situation for most business professionals. We don't need to know how the software works behind the scenes, we simply need to know how to use the software and understand the bigger picture - what does the data mean a

Employers, in general, just want to hire "smart" people and the BA degree has become symbolic of something that "smart" people have. So every employer uses it as a way to just screen out the "dumb" people. At t

Statistics is completely different and personally I like it way better than calc. Most of the statistical analysis I do these days is all software based.

We use excel to calculate these types of things now.

That is true but employers insist on people having bachelor's degrees. That's the problem so you have lots of people going to college that really only want to focus on career growth. Also these same employers are always complainin

True but the reality is there are a lot of people going to college purely for career growth. Accounting is a good example. People studying accounting want to be accountants, more or less. Right now college is a one-size fits all shoe and ha

The bigger issue in general is that college curriculum in general needs to be realigned to fit the needs of the current marketplace. I'm personally an accounting major, took business calculus in college and currently work in the tax in

I could see this being used more for research type of work. Wikipedia is good for the high-level/popular topics but for very specific fields, there won't be anything significant. Think of areas like drug research.
