>Didn't even need to be a VC to get access to VC level gains buying GOOG. That's a great point. Anyone who shits on a VC for not investing in Google ought to be asked how much Google stock they bought in 2004. 4000% gains is be

What you're ignoring is voters resoundingly rejected Prop 10, the rent control measure that went on the ballot LESS THAN ONE YEAR AGO. Which was pretty close to AB1482. Yet, despite the majority of voters saying no, the legislature fel

Also, Goodhart's Law. "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure." There's people who spend their whole adolescence studying for the SATs and their parents pay for every possible tutor and advantage

Excellent point. I would bet anything that the chinese government gave their oligarchs ample amount of time to move a large buffer of inventory before the ban went into effect.

why can't they just sit on the money? Wouldn't that perform better?

What am I missing here? why are they doing this? There has to be some other gain somewhere else.

> Huawei has grown because it has been able to offer similar or better networking equipment as competitors for lower prices. You mean flat out copy Cisco and then undercut them in developing markets? In the early 2000s i remember seeing

Even though NASA's total budget is a lot bigger than most private space exploration companies, it seems as though space exploration is one small aspect of many things that NASA focuses on. For example, why is NASA so involved with clim

I wouldn't get too excited... the list shows to me that the kids only know about professions they're directly exposed to or repeatedly hear a lot about. Kinda dumb to ask kids what their ideal profession is when they really only u

It's (relatively) easy to show the math on why casino games are impossible to win, but what about sports betting? Does the house always have the advantage? Perhaps it's slightly better for the gamer? FWIW I was looking a betting w

What's up with all these children hating their parents? Not judging but genuinely curious. Is something in the culture? A lot of these people who die alone with unclaimed bodies have children. Why don't the children care?

Great comment. It takes a hell of a CEO to squash any ego they have and stop to listen to the janitor about what direction their business should take.

So there is no way to mine it? You just buy it at a set price? Does that mean that it is not really designed to be "invested in" the way people invest in bitcoin and others?

If you're already at say a 4.2, a 0 could really bring you down if you don't ride a lot. Also, IIRC drivers can and do reject rides for people at their predetermined threshold. E.g. they will pass on a 4.0 waiting for a 4.5 or abo

What I've always found interesting about Uber is that if you have one bad night in San Francisco, it could adversely affect your ability to get a ride in Bahrain several years later. Sure big companies create efficiencies, but they als

I got that part, but I don't understand why Soros bought shorts on a stock that he just bought.

It's good to remember that the library of Alexandria was destroyed by lack of funding more than anything else. Lack of money to store and maintain the books that they already had, not lack of money to buy new books or replace anything

Maybe have a competition every so often for the best pieces of art or graphic design explaining the danger. (maybe add it to the olympics?) That way we keep this alive in the public consciences and even if the competition dies out, hopefull

Yes, but the syntax is off, because the author explains the diy pump and then immediately after says "that's where the security flaw is." Why would you go into detail about the inner workings of a diy pump, follow up with an

So what's the best way to do this? Honest question. I was looking and I didn't find good formatting help doc in less than 5min so I went with code blocks. Sorry haha :)
