I'm a tech lawyer, not affiliated with either company. I think the linked article sensationalizes it and makes it a bigger deal than it is, if you read the underlying Bloomberg article it just says that Uber agreed to indemnify (defend

I think you should italicize "positive" - "Well, except that your change in the ashtray is a positive contribution." :) Core Yahoo was actually worth a negative amount when comparing its market cap to the market cap of

Not really a fair direct comparison to FB. Snap's revenues grew 600% from 2015 to 2016 (versus FB's 54% growth), you have to account for growth rate as well. Snap is estimated to be at $2B in 2018 (by Goldman)[1]. So yes, still ov
