That term refers to software applications made available in a browser. That's how I view Facebook.

Why do you think they should be classified as a media company? Is it to apply the relevant regulations? In my eyes, Facebook is a company of software and hardware engineers. They produce software as a service. That sure sounds like a tech c

Thanks for clarifying. That makes a ton of sense.

Are they really the same? It's hard for me to believe that. Seems like fast food chains would have the things you list + many other bad things.

Do you think the limited sanctions will be effective? If I were China I don't think this is significant enough for me to stop my plan. Maybe it's intended as a warning. I don't like trump at all. But I agree with defending ou

There's merit in competiton itself. This product does something that both Anki and Memrise do. That's a unique feature, is it not?

It would be interesting to see a line item breakdown of that bill. I'd wager Oracle got a good $50 mill out of it (multi year).

The closet incident I could remember was when a Facebook co founder did this. Looks like he still had to pay a tax https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eduardo_Saverin

Hmmmm. Your statement makes me think you don’t know much about Singapore. It is a tiny city, but it has a massive role in Southeast Asia. I have lived there before and lived a great life without being rich by US or Singapore standards. The

Singapore is a western (like) country and has no capital gains tax. Though as some other commenters have noted, i don’t know if the IRS would consider it legal for a US citizen to bail and not pay the tax. Edited

Judging by the graphs I think we have some more time to buy before the bottom of this Valley is reached.

Isn’t it fair to report a massive drop, just as it’s fair to report a massive spike?

Yeah I wonder what they could do, if anything. Especially if it was on private property with owners consent. It’ll never happen but fun to think about.

That’d be cool if citizens just did this to make a point. Could the cameras be small or discrete enough to install in several places in DC, so that even politicians walk by a website is updated? There has to be enough video training footage

Comcast is more comparable to amazon. Both have a mix of employees, both including a large amount of low skill/ grunt jobs. Edited for clarity

How does that point still work? Where does it come from?

As a side note, I’m not sure if you’re aware but you’re coming off very argumentative. People are trying to give you feedback and you’re arguing to change their minds. The only thing you’re succeeding at is looking like you’re no fun to wor

Your last paragraph doesn’t quite capture the whole picture. Germany didn’t rebuild into an economic powerhouse on its own. I’m no expert but even with a little search it’s clear that there were many macro economic actions taken by the alli

I think most of us could see that even with Hillary doing that, she would be a better president than Trump. Everything you list about Hillary can be applied to Trump several times over. Overall, it was two truly horrible candidates that we

WhatsApp would be around but the product would likely have had to adopt a business model by now. They were charging some people but i don’t think it was much.

Reading your last two statements made me think "Jobs would have never, in a million years, let that happen. Whole teams of people would be fired first." It's a good lesson to the rest of us.

This is where the legend of Steve Jobs is validated. To see the progressive decline in quality of hardware, software, and overall experience leads one to believe that yes indeed it was Jobs responsible for what we came to know as apple qual

AWS is probably the biggest windows customer by now. Probably a lot of ideas passed between the two.

Thanks for sharing that. I wasn’t aware

I just uninstalled it. I do too many confidential things on my phone to even let this be a possibility. That's too bad because I was an avid Uber user. I hope they can shed some light on this and say it's fixed (and verified).

What's the cost/benefit of them doing that to Target? On the upside they could see what's selling well, what margins they have, etc. What's the net value of that information to their retail unit? I'd say it's p

Chargebacks seem like one of the worst ways to deal with it. If you're that afraid of losing money this type of transaction probably isn't for you. What seems to be the biggest failure with most of these companies is setting the e

I agree with you. I was simply trying to address the comment that it's "just an app".

There are certain industries and companies that you do really need to continue to innovate. If your product is a technology innovation, it has a life span. Eventually, something will replace it. History has proven this over and over again.

How do you know it looses money on every ride (genuine question)? Is there proof? Could it be that there are profitable rides in some of its markets that inspire investors that it would eventually be able to make every ride profitable at so
