I am not a gamer so I could be wrong but it’s REALLY hard to believe hardcore PC gamers are going to play a reskinned Chinese game on a cell phone and pay microtransactions. It might make money, but not from the people up in arms about this

It is unreal Assange has been essentially detained for nearly 6 years and had even more of his freedom taken away for not standing trial in a foreign country. I am surprised he was able to maintain operational control of wikileaks this long

They were really the second big acquisition and they got a huge valuation. Instagram was running pretty autonomously at the time (2 years prior) so between talking to them and seeing the arrangement and the belief they would be valued as em

They did mention it in TFA but regardless CNBC clearly thinks smoking pot is “bizarre” which I suspect is actually a pretty mundane and socially acceptable thing.

While this is true, the guy lives, sweats and breathes his companies. If youve ever seen the interview when he talks about pouring his last dollars into spacex and tesla and having NASA come thru as well as his VCs at the 11th hour around x

Short sellers artificially devalue Tesla’s price (and many companies that ate shorted) and thats part of the game. Tesla is actually structured as a financial company, especially with SCTY being combined. The easiest way to destabalize a fi

Reid Hasting lawsuit did hold that you can make announcements via socials (facebook in his case) and while you’re correct im not sure what the burden of proof for “secured” is. He could take Solar City private or potentially a piece of the

To be fair PC gives tons of credit for stripe to the employees. Almost every interview. One interview specifically is how I Built This with Guy Raz with him and his brother John.

The difference is that even though I didn’t study bird species on the galapagos I did have the high level concept of evolution explained to me. Pieces of evidence were presented and it made a pretty cohesive narrative in my mind and it is t

It actually seems pretty savvy. If you are 100% consolidated in a single commodity it makes sense to diversify. Who knows what the actual numbers look like and if institutional investors can get confortable, but the article seems to indicat

“Answer this survey question to continue reading the article”. 1. This is terrible UX and while I understand the need to make money this roadblock does nothing but increase bounce rate. 2. “Continue” is pretty deceptive unless you count the

How did you draw that conclusion? It is debatable whether VC creates net jobs and distributes value creation broadly enough but clearly VC isn’t the weapon you make it out to be. Marc Andreesen makes a strong defense of this point in a few

This is part of a larger ethos of curiosity about how things work and building, modifying and demystifying tools used everyday; e.g hacker culture. I don’t think it is particularly fair to reduce skills like this, or frankly exploration o

Well Bushnell was a pretty solid engineer and unlike Jobs gave Dabney a lot if not all the credit for pong. He does a great interview with Gug Raz on How I Built This. Also, Busnell employed both Woz (well by proxy employed Woz) and Jobs an

As someone who doesn’t cycle this is mind boggling. Obviously if you arbitrarily pick which laws you follow you will be better off. I can’t stand cyclists they observe laws like pedestrians when it’s convenient but want to be treated and af

I disagree. DeWalt has altered their battery type often and have a few different types. Makita seems to only have 2 types of fittings in the last 10ish years and the 2 4amp packs I bought together for $100 are excellent. There is vendor loc

this article and this comment section are rather terrible. I am really opposed to Googles business model and the pervasive lack of privacy they inflict on the world-- but this is such a weird thing to write an article about. I personally, a
