No one can ever arrange bits in that order because I was the first one to do it.

I can't find a link in this article to any reputable source. CBS probably sensationalized the information they were provided.

Given enough investment you can hire the engineers you need. Maybe I should have said that all it requires is more money earlier.

All this means is that they are going to need a lot more investment than a software company.

All of the value in their homes was created by government regulation. Complaining about the price of your home going down because government regulation is removed is like taxi medallion owners complaining about Uber. In both cases governm
