MS and Apple are fundamentally different companies. Apple is the king of consumer products, MS is the king of B2B. Consumer product companies need to fight for every scrap, B2B need relationships.

At least when it comes to phones Samsung phones are actually better. Better screens, better camera. But Apple has the branding and other options are frowned upon. At least in the US, outside Android is the leader.

I would imagine cloudbleed shook the company severely. I doubt the decision to abandon C/C++ caused a lot of ill will within the company. Considering the level of exposure Cloudflare software has, it is I think a very level headed deci

But there are very few public AI companies. nVidia, Microsoft, Google and Meta? None of them have too crazy of a P/E ratio and all are wildly profitable. The actual silly money is all in the private space and you can't short those

I mostly agree the market has entirely unrealistic expectations of rates going lower. I think the cause is structural due to the tight employment market which is not going to change any time soon. The period of low inflation and low rates i
