Medical insurance in the US doesn't make any sense. Insurance is supposed to be a hedge against a large risk, but in the US we use our medical insurance to pay for common visits and prescriptions. Everyone is so used to this model that

Supply vs demand though. Even if we need 30x current solar capacity to make a dent, if there isn't adequate demand, then it is still an over supply

It seems insane that US corporate tax law isn't a bigger issue in this upcoming presidential election cycle. Companies like Google and Apple constantly take advantage of US/EU/wherever tax laws to pay the least amount they ha

I imagine initially thieves getting scared and dropping the packages, but then quickly realizing that if they run away with the packages they'll still get away with it. If they integrate with DropCam or something, it could be an intere

If Twitter forces you to login to view this free stream, I feel like this could be significant for their user growth. If they are able to keep these users engaged by getting them started with users to follow, I think this could be very succ

This doesn't seem very unexpected. Companies who haven't been expected to make revenue/profit are being forced to rethink their business strategies with that in mind. It is a tough process and a lot of people don't like

Apple buys back a large amount of stock because that is the only way they can really get any return out of their stock ( http://247wallst.com/technology-3/2016/03/01/why-apple-may-s... ). Unfortunately due

The fact that we don't have a couple operators instead of a driver for each individual train on BART is beyond me. Look at all the private companies (Magic Bus, etc) that are sprouting up because of how terrible our public transportati

I have a buddy who was super high up in a telecom back in the late 90s/early 00s and he mentioned that all the big telecoms basically voluntarily were creating traffic backdoors for the government. When he mentioned it, he didn't

I don't know about that. Tesla, Mercedes, etc all have some sort of self driving capability already on the market and are expanding the capabilities pretty rapidly. I agree that completely self driving cars won't be ready for over

These kinds of articles continue to pop on hacker news. At the end of the day won't most delivery companies go under when Google (fill in: whoever) brings the self driving car to a mass market and develops their own delivery service? W

Doesn't it seem like these specialized delivery services will kind of get trampled when self driving cars become commonplace? I feel like there will be 1-2 big delivery companies (Google + whoever else figures out self driving cars) an

It will be interesting to see companies like Airbnb and Uber go public after taking on private funding rounds much later in the business cycle than Wall Street analysts are used to. A lot of the hockey stick growth that analysts will expect

It seems like a lot of APIs are created to support websites, and then developers/PMs think oh well might as well open this up to the public, not really taking into account the ramifications.
