It's nice for the previous generations that got something out of nothing. Too bad that "nothing" is my generation and we'll be putting our "contributions" into a pit that will give us actually nothing in return

All this is new territory, mind you. This is why older traditional/value investors like Buffett don't dabble in tech. The PE ratios are through the roof and we don't know what it will mean once we start seeing these companies

How would you calculate that? With market rate interest? Standard rate of inflation? It's not a metric people look for when valuing companies.

You also have to realize how internal politics plays into things like this. Who wants to work on maintaining their mobile web browser when it's not going to get them the promotion? Thus it falls on the least skilled/interested. Th

Makes sense. I guess I was hung up on the flaw being some personal issue but I guess killing a million people counts as one too. And thanks for the link.

Under a book on Napoleon, Sam Altman says: > An incredible primary-source portrait on a brilliant (but obviously deeply flawed) individual. What is the obviously deeply flawed characteristic about him that Altman is referring to? I read

People have known this since the 90s. Here's an article from November 3, 1999 [0]. I'm not the parent commenter but I'm not sure why you feel like you were the only one who knew about this. Many people have scales that can de

That whale was just an unfortunate whale that tried to communicate with others on a different wavelength (literally) due to something physically wrong with its pitch.

Just curious, so if a potential passenger were unhappy with the recording (I wouldn't care FWIW) do you just cancel the trip before they ride or mark them as a no show?

I mean it's also the fact that there are plenty more musicians willing to "risk their entire livelihood" that bring their price down. Bigger musicians will fetch high prices and in some cases, take on the financial "risk

I mean, yeah of course. If we're arguing about zoning laws for Detroit, we're making our points without the outcome actually having an effect on us. In this case, I presume it affects both of us. I'm guessing that you're

I'm not demanding that the parent include it. But just as you should take someone's advice on why Google's X technology is superior to all competitors' with a grain of salt if their paycheck comes from it, so does their

Can you add a disclaimer as to whether you own a housing unit in the Bay Area or not?

You're making it sound like the credit card companies are idiots. If a huge portion of their stolen cards are buying an obscure app with a $1000 price tag, they're going to notify the authorities.

Do you have a link to said older product? The article describes a fairly involved process and it doesn't seem to look like anything I've seen in the market before. It's not the typical plastic bottle holder that barely keeps

I think the parent is saying that the spirit of open source doesn't mean you eschew safety or best practices, but that's what you see in Shenzhen's extreme capitalism. There are no safety regulations and competition is fierce

Yeah it sounds like a typical puff piece for me. Oh look how methodical this man/firm is! His company is progressive and he's a philanthropist to boot! No negative acquisitions experiences or anything like that in the article eith

Yup, I remember when I thought having my Motorola RAZR was the epitome of cool, people in Seoul would flip up their seemingly dumber phones and stream crystal clear HD TV in the subway.

Has it gotten any better since? I feel like mine has on a given day but it actually feels worse than ever before when I wear earplugs.

Sure, you'll make money 99.9% of the time but the time you don't, you'll be losing your money and then some.

Are you suggesting that I get checked for an ear infection or saying that I should stop using ear plugs? I have pretty much done the latter, only wearing them for the occasional nap once every other week.

I have no comment on crypto but if you're "addictively" using leverage to trade options, I hope you're only playing with your throwaway money. You are practically bound to lose money to institutional investors when playi

I've also wondered about that. I didn't feel like I had tinnitus (I have a very mild one) until after I moved my apartment to a noisier street and wore earplugs for about 2 weeks. Now I have a very faint one that "toggles&quo
