That is a good point. I could be wrong but I think the 10k reporting (at least with banks) was from the bank secrecy act[0] of 1970. Thus 10k adjusted for inflation is approximately 65k in 2020 dollars. The limit should be increased to 50k

This probably has broad political support. Not only is their a strong anti-China sentiment but this can be justified by saying they are equaling the playing field because China doesn’t let our apps compete. I also think big tech companies p

Also, it is being done during one of the craziest markets and climate ever to occur so it would be difficult to really get good numbers.

In some ways they have though, at least in terms of time allocation. When Facebook was in its heyday it was the default social network. They dont seem to be adding as many new users and I suspect they are churning old users. They also have

I liked this ted talk on organizing. The heuristics they use could be applied to digital folders as well. I guess its tangentially related but i found it a quite interesting listen. Edit: https://www.ted.com/talks/tom_g

Leaving the allegations totally aside the article does seem a bit misleading. The title is technically true but most people would read this as a company executive-- a high-level employee. She is in fact an executive producer on a small Sp

It’s kind of a funny parrallel between this and the Qualcomm suits. How much rent can one company extract before the market adapts. E.g clearing subscriptions outside Apples channels, denying fees through major partners to Qualcomm.

“Dirty” money is such an expansive term that encapsulates huge sums and many distinctly different schemes. The Guardian actually stated that the influx of cash from crime syndicates propped up the banks and significantly contributed to some

$100 dollars in principal with a $1 annual contribution @7% interest is >$28 Billion invested now. Still surprising between war, revolution or poor financial management the fortune didn’t erode.

Well this aspect of their business is 100% opt in apparently. Maybe a discounted pricing tier would make sense if you opt in but its not as if you are the product. I dont own or understand Alexa because I personally wouldnt use one so I can

I think we’re saying the same thing. Apple can do whatever it wants with it’s ecosystem but it doesn’t matter to Netflix. Netflix customers and Apple customers can be the same people but they are indifferent to how these companies interact
