hopefully netflix continues this push toward broadband transparency. as justice louis brandeis said, "sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants." it seems unreasonable for verizon and broadband providers to advertise, and c

Assuming Twitter and Spotify have equally poor formulas for monetizing music, my guess is Twitter views Soundcloud less as a profit generator and more as a lead generator. Since Twitter's revenue model hinges on ad impressions, the hop

setting aside the streaming service and the profitable hardware, bear in mind the context if you evaluate the deal purely as a acquihire. apple has about $160B in cash [1]. $3B for an acquihire is comparable to zynga in 2013 [2] purchasing

so higher miner fees would not be a viable incentive? thanks for the information, very helpful in understanding blockchains better. given your analysis, how will miners be compensated once we hit 21M bitcoins? others have asserted higher mi

if miners charge higher transaction fees, doesn't this negate one of the benefits over centralized systems like MC and visa that charge high (2% - 3%) fees on each transaction? that's not to say this neutralizes other benefits of

perhaps this is what you meant, but isn't the major impact that the stated price is potentially different from the bitcoin price? in other words, buying something for $10 might actually cost $12 because of capital gains. i agree that w
