Bezos is really a socialist. Instead of focusing on profits - he passes on the efficiency gains to customers. The investors in AMZN are funding discounts to consumers. He doesn't need to cut wages or layoff workers.He could hire every

Did I miss something? It lists 6 super successful founders with no startup experience - and then recommends to look for founders with past experience at a Rocketship or Serial Entrepreneurs as the best bet for how to evaluate startups.

If I was a large business with deep pockets, I'd be wary of signing up to use independent contractors to ferry employees around and get embroiled in the employee misclassification debate. Uber has said it is just a platform enabling th

Unrelated, but it still blows my mind- that the creator of this cryptosystem thats now worth $50B is still unknown. He has to have been lived somewhere, gone to school somewhere, studied, worked somewhere, left some track somewhere about wh

Hopefully their newly unionized cafeteria workers can extract a bit more from them, then Google would have to do the same to Google Express drivers, then Apple to its coach drivers, and this trickle down effect to non-tech jobs may actually

That's what consulting companies do, although they'd take a bit more than 15%. More like 40%, but then they have a higher rate too.

I agree BMR is a scam, but not because of its effect on wages. It is too small of a factor, but because it is not market-based and leads to quotas, lotteries, middlemen, bribes- all bad. To offset crazy high demand and prices, the only opti

Cool- Are you going to apply it to all images on Google Maps? How about an 'Auto Enhance" button on Google photos?

They are registered brokers with a website- just like Windermere. They took this path vs being just a website like Zillow.

I agree. Realtors won't get killed- they'll just have their commissions reduced. I've bought a house through Redfin which was easy enough, but used an agent who agreed to Redfin level fees, but was much more knowledgeable and

by vadym909 9y ago
cutting the fees by 25% actually. Redfin acts as the buyer or seller's broker and only gives you back half of their 3% commission. The other side's broker still gets their 3%. So you pay 4.5% instead of 6%.

Whoah. Hold on. The problem is not with Google offering a Review service for HVAC companies. If the Google reviews are more comprehensive and valuable than Yelp- by all means have them show up in the organic listings- for that matter even u

Sorry for your troubles. In many blue states that didn't vote Trump, our votes are worth 25% of the votes of some red states. Not our fault- what was implemented to make it fair to small states is now a menace to the large states. Dema

Good point- Airports and movie theaters with their super high pricing come to mind. Although in this case, the monopoly example would be akin to a hospital or gas station in a small town raising prices 3x and saying if you don't want

That vendor's email is probably the most expensive email mistake ever made. I wonder if he sent it to the old Levandowsky (Google) email that his email system probably autopopulated?

The sad thing is - Chinese investors/CEOs then need to get the money out of China because they know it will crash eventually. So they invest in hot real estate markets like Canada, US and Australia causing house prices to go to stratos
