MSFT did not move higher than S&P 500 in the past 5 days...

Interesting...

> I've heard that public school teachers in the USA generally come from the bottom 20% of their class.

No way this is true. ~57% of teachers have Master's degree or higher. Bottom 20% of their class means they'd barely have enough GPA to graduate, let alone get into a MEd program.

Yes, I drove a model X on a road trip before.

Hated the yoke turn signal.

The dumbest "minimalism" was removing the turn signal stalk. That's how Teslas can keep their margins higher than the Detroit Big3. And no union helps Tesla I guess.

I'm still not sure what Tesla gain from opening up SuperCharger for competitors.

The no.1 reason people choose Tesla is because of the wide Supercharger network.

Roblox is "virtual world business" for gaming, not workplace.

For Meta it's different, they're pushing for working and collaborating virtually.

It's not the same.

"More open" until it hurts their bottom line.

People really think Google is doing it for their goodwill instead of the optics, huh.

"Meta has no real interesting in delivering anything other than a product they can ship to millions of people on day 1 at a low price point"

Wow, how naive can you be?

Because Meta's forte is ads. The hardware is just the gateway to their ecosystem where they don't have to pay Apple/Google for access to users.

Companies' engineering blogs are just carefully curated marketing pieces with highly distilled technical info. It's still marketing and some people eat it up.

What does this have to do with Apple's "walled garden"?

They are able to charge 30% of app revenue because they can. They are a for profit company.

Amazon Fire did not do that because nobody uses it. Now that it has some traction, lo and behold, they want their cut as well.

If anything, Roku is the direct competitor (low cost streaming stick) and they take 30% ad revenue. But Apple gets the blame. lol.

What's the radical changes no large organization is willing to make?

How does this benefit Tesla? Are they receiving royalty for each NACS shipped?

Might as well divest FiveThirtyEight or shut it down if Nate Silver is leaving.

Nate Silver is 538.

I have nothing to say if you insist that phrase is not a sexual innuendo.

There's so many ways to phrase the title, but the author has to use https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Getting%20th....

This is why tech bro culture persist.

The problem with Chrome dominating is it makes Google ecosystem dominates. With Chrome, you can sync your history with your Google account, it pushes you to use Google services, sends analytics to Google etc.

Edge, even with it's Chromium engine, fixes all that by offering Microsoft's ecosystem.

So yes, changing to Edge does change a lot. And Google will fight to keep Chrome's lead, 100%.

Damn, I just noticed all my playlists are public too.

Thanks for the heads up. And screw Spotify!

Yeah, FAANG stock imploding has been on headlines for months now.

Why wouldn't BTC get the same treatment? OP must be a bag holder.

And Rivian's market cap is $30B. Meta could easily bought another EV company to diversify.

With the amount of R&D that was spent on Metaverse, it better shit gold for Meta for decades to come.

Of course Apple is for profit. Its duty to its shareholders are to maximize profit.

Apple pivoted to selling "privacy as a service". Nobody is thinking Apple does it for some altruistic motive.

Apple consumers are willing to pay more for this "privacy" feature. But now they will question this if Apple starts selling ads.
