OK, let's just be super conservative and say only 50% of Robinhood's accounts are funded. So they are valued at 3,500 per funded account. Let's assume you're right and that ETrade's accounts are all funded. So they

Robinhood has more customers than ETrade https://www.investors.com/news/robinhood-app-has-more-custom... and I bet it's growing much faster too, so no a 7 billion dollar market cap is not insane when ETrade has a

I'm still not completely convinced that a zero commission brokerage can be run profitably, although mad props to the team for executing. People often focus on the HFT payments for order flow, but another important leg of the stool (alo

Doubly true if it's outside market hours. Unlike every other broker Robinhood doesn't (always) warn you when the markets are closed. I've had fills come in dollars off the last trade simply because the market order was placed

What about the ARM license? Sure they design their own processors but that doesn't help if ARM doesn't let them use the instruction set.

A big one that people haven't mentioned is ARM. Huawei can get by without Qualcomm chips. But I don't know how they're going to be able to keep up without an ARM license. And it's not like they could just switch to Intel

I looked at MicroG and saw this almost immediately: This is alpha-grade software and not yet ready for production use. Do not use if you don't know what you're doing. That's not going to be good enough for Huawei. Similarly,

By LE capable firmware you mean that the FBI had a backdoor to eavesdrop? Wow.

No. Although Huawei did do some shady shit, like come up with a bonus scheme based on how much IP/market intelligence their employees could "acquire" from their competitors.

Yes, for your current phone. But the way I read it, Google won't support any further updates to the OS.

There are many reasons, but there are two fundamental ones: Projections that the Chinese economy will overtake the US and Made in China 2025. The first is easy to explain. The US likes being number 1, and if anyone else, whether the Chinese

Correct. So manufacturers should be allowed to sell Android and "Android-compatible" phones simultaneously, whereas before Google forced manufacturers to choose either/or. But that decision is still under appeal as far as I c

My guess is that they'll probably just sell off / kill off their computer business. It's not a huge money maker for them, and trying to switch people off Windows is super hard.

Open in this case meaning open source and open to other people to modify/build upon, like Android is currently. But you're right that the Chinese bureaucracy may not be nimble enough for this kind of move, and might stillborn it b

Lineage isn't good enough on its own. 99% of Lineage OS users also install google play services and the google play store. You need to have a replacement for all of the closed source Google APIs for app developers to use. It's a m

Huawei really needs to give everyone bootloader unlocks so that people can move to LineageOS in the meantime.

The biggest threat to Google in my opinion would be the possibility that Huawei and China could try to "steal" Android from them. Imagine in 2021 the Chinese government mandates that every Chinese smartphone manufacturer needs to

Thanks for the response! I'll definitely dig into it some more.

Can you explain how this is different from a regular word2vec NLP algorithm?

Awesome. Thanks for also releasing the data set.

This is incorrect. Play Services is just a set of proprietary APIs that Google enables for Android: https://developers.google.com/android/guides/overview If you really want to see when data is being sent to Google

This is just wrong. By many measures, China is one of the most innovative countries on earth. Take scientific citations for example: https://www.natureindex.com/news-blog/chinas-citations-catch...

My point is that 0 tariffs doesn't automatically equal disaster. But I agree that there's not enough evidence to say that unilaterally reducing tariffs to zero is actually the best policy, although some economists do make that arg

One big open question about this policy is whether it will severely restrict Chinese VC investment in the US. There's been discussions about subjecting all Chinese VC investment to the CFIUS, which would effectively stop all but the ve

Right, which is why they are not conclusive evidence that 0 tariffs are suitable for everyone, like some economists would suggest.

by yding 8y ago
I've seen economists argue that most of the benefits of low tariffs actually comes from increased imports. Increasing imports increases the consumer surplus from the cheaper goods and is an easy way to increase a country's standar
