In theory... in practice? So much illegal shit goes down in finance all of the time. rarely if ever it gets caught. And when they have literal billions on the line a slap on the wrist fine is preferable.

They absolutely are not illegal. Shorts got greedy and got caught out. Should short sellers not have any downside to their trades?

Of course it's not political, in the sense that RH routes their order flow through Citadel's MM arm, who are probably getting squeezed by Gamma on their (previously) OTM naked calls, and if Citadel is the prime broker for all of t

I'm sorry, what? Why would I, or anyone with any shred of dignity respect people who were attempting to overturn a free, fair, and legal election using violence (there were individuals laying pipebombs, carrying weapons, and zipties !

I think more students need to study how the Nazis came to power; while violent attempts were made (Beer Hall Putsch) and low level political violence between various political factions, the Nazis did not gain power through those acts. Rath

Because a car company that manufactured 500k cars is worth _more_ than the entire car industry combined... which manufactured 70 million cars? This is irrational exuberance.

Different groups have different issues that must be addressed. There are few 'one size fits all' solutions. People do want to be treated as peers and equals, but unfortunately there are intrinsic issues that inhibit that. For exa

It's rather specious reasoning at it's surface, as adding additional controls that reduces variance in the model doesn't discount that there is discrimination within the labour market. That is to say, the discrimination happ

It used to make a lot of money, there are now enough players that margins are actually relatively thin.

Scrubbing a mission can be viewed as just as valuable. Even a 'mission kill' would far exceed the value of the drone.

I don't believe you are willing to discuss anything in good faith if you are unwilling to read or begin to understand what I wrote. 1. As I have said, 99% of games do not provide linux first class support. A compatibility layer using

First, you shouldn't take this so personal. Should I be calling Epic game store or Steam bad platforms if they don't support Windows 95? Unfortunately, you are not the target audience, and expecting developers/publishers to

Sure, but that's not first class support. It requires a compatibility layer called Proton ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_(software) ). Most developers will not spend time on supporting Linux natively. It&#

The competition is broken, Steam still has a large majority of the marketshare, and they abuse it just like Apple does. Taking a cut is fine, but 30% margin is unconscionable and I applaud anyone that tries to break that paradigm.

For a monopolist they provide pretty compelling terms compared to Steam. If anything they are a healthy competitor to Steam, not only for developers but for consumers as well.

Betting against Elon is a fools errand not because he's right, but because he's built a personality cult around himself.

Not really, for one Apple outsources their manufacturing to various companies (TSMC, Foxconn, AMD, Intel, etc). This allows Apple to focus on design and software (ie, the hardware design follows the software, unlike Tesla where the softwar

They don't sell software though... they sell cars augmented with software. If they don't have cars to sell they don't have any software to sell. Sure, one could argue the valuation is pricing in the value of the patents but

Their core business is manufacturing. The vast majority of their RnD and capex goes into manufacturing. They don't sell software, they sell cars.

What kind of company are they?

by u10 6y ago
The world has gone insane... treating a manufacturing company like it's a tech company and applying the "appropriate" multiples. People are going to lose their shirts on this one.

This whole thread? The basis of the argument is that China is authoritarian regime that we should not be doing business with.

Trying to claim that the United States has some moral high ground above China is laughable. China has certainly committed plenty of human rights violations, but so have plenty of Western nations.
