The bubble spreads across all tech startups. Before it was whether your product could be viral enough to match snapchat's $1 billion, now it's whatsapp's $16 billion. This creates a very unhealthy attitude around tech startup

I'm convinced that Facebook is just investing in the market for ridiculously high purchases, artificially inflating the market.

They both seem ridiculous.

The mythologizing of the random crap that happens in the game is the best part. I like how opposing cults are being built around different items/characters in the game. It's more interesting than the fact that things actually get

Basic income will likely be the answer.

Sounds like something that could be easily automated.

It's not random, just needlessly obfuscated.

Basic income wouldn't take work away. It would assure that not working when there isn't work to do wouldn't leave people impoverished or lead to an economic collapse. It would allow people to participate in the economy and pu

You just completely ignored the point he was trying to make with the fake likes. You're going to have to come up with a better bullshit defense.

I had a moment of paranoia a few months back where I thought it was concerted attempt to trivialize the issue, but then I realized it's just a way to get cheap laughs/upvotes.

I might be wrong, but it certainly seems overvalued.

Can someone explain to me why the market is being so bubbly about google (yes, pun intended)? I'm just not seeing over $1000 being the long, even for google.

This wasn't a witty comment. Just an often repeated meme.

Why don't you google it? http://www.google.com/about/company/facts/management/ Yes.

Why are HN comments becoming so much more like comments on crappy tech blogs and reddit?

We don't know what patents google is retaining, so it's unclear whether they're FRAND or truly valuable. Also, I've followed Nilay's post on several of these patent issues; he's either wrong or he sensationaliz

$12 billion - $3 billion - ~$2 billion (motorola home) - $3 billion motorola cash - whatever tax incentives over the period of ownership. They made it out ok.

There are plenty of strong android competitors in the chinese market. Google's Hugo Barra headed to Xiaomi just last year.

Closer to $7 billion. They have made $5 billion together with the set top box acquisition.

They removed the default messenger and combined it with hangouts so they can have a ubiquitous chat service like imessage on iOS.

We'll undoubtedly see some sort of fall for samsung. Apple is releasing larger screen iPhones, android competitors in every market are becoming more aggressive , etc.
