thank you. You have a great product there. I'm sure a lot of design/film production studios were looking for this. Right now managing a design studio usually means 3/4 platforms. Your platform has a real chance to take over t

Something richer. Take a look at the web app Notion. it's pretty close, but it still has the problem of having to upload everything into their platform all the time. A rich media pinboard is my idea. I love pinboard, but it needs to al

I think Facebook is here used as a way of illustration and contrast. It's a good way to visualise income inequality.

And Facebook hires one of the lead researchers? And Zuckerberg is preparing his assets for a possible entry into politics? I wonder what Peter Thiel really gave Donald Trump for him to end up in such a great position as he has. Is it possib

Lots of countries don't allow foreigners do buy property in this way to prevent exactly this sort of Bubble. What might be happening (I think, seen no evidence yet) is that asset managers in banking have moved "safe" money fr

Advertising is a surprisingly concentrated market, with five or six conglomerates making most of ads you see (WPP, Publicis, Mccain, etc.) In fact this whole brewhaha was started because the current head of the WPP said he wanted Google to

I keep wondering whether negative interest rates and QE have made real estate a very attractive purchase for international investors. I'm trying to track down evidence that asset managers have started moving "safe money" inve

The idea of apolitical money is a fantasy. Read sociology studies on the origins of money, ie Debt the first 10 000 years has a good counter narrative to the the idea that markets self generate (with plenty of historical evidence). Markets,

No of course not. The whole problem that Steve is talking about here stinks of mismanagement of some sort tho, that isn't really fixed by telling people "stop giving me excuses on delivery day". Something is wrong with the wh

Grow up. You're defending destroying society so you can get what YOU think is right (based on how much it increases your net worth?). Did you similarly fight for the end of copyright? Did you join the pirate party? What about racial eq

Do you actually think saying Iran is a repressive state is false? Do you actually think Bannon's statements are normal? It's at least Nixon level bullshit at the moment; I expect it to get worst.

The problem is he's a hypocrite. How can you accuse the media of lying and lie all he time yourself? His IRS lie being the worst. He kept saying he couldn't do it, but that's just a straight lie.
