That’s very interesting. My immediate reaction to the pandemic was less driving but by May ‘20 I too realized people will have to buy cars (outflow from urban areas and less public transit usage).

Sounds like someone wants to hold onto unsustainable monopoly.

Edit: chip shortage has been a known variable for over a year now. I think TSM overplayed its hands a bit. They didn’t want to expand and get caught when the demand would subside, which is very understandable. But what they didn’t foresee is that the US govt would get involved in propping up its competition in direct response.

@ what fees? and why?

Perhaps Paypal should focus on hiring more customer service agents instead of going a full year without a direct line in the US? Paypal is one of the most egregious fintech companies in existence.

The entire site is an absolute delight. Very nicely done.

And you work at the Fed? God help us.

I don’t know why Visa/MC even exist in 2021. Literal financial leeches.

Why would Xi Jinping pay taxes to the US?

Another garbage analysis from WSJ.

Mastering a language is not easy even for native speakers.

Tesla themselves do not even believe in these wild fantasies which is why their R&D has been stuck for the past 3-4 years.

As with all high flying stocks pay close attention to R&D and stock comps. If Tesla is at the forefront of auto technology why is their R&D all but stalled? It’s laughable.

You do realize they are facilitating money laundering right?

Years? I did it in a week. Shopify is a platform of value add services. I can see mom and pops using it but not devs.

I just don’t get why people continue to build around Shopify. Is Stripe/Square not good enough? Don’t you save a ton by forgoing Shopify?

No they’re not safer than human-driven cars. Not enough data to claim that. And how can you even collect that data when we don’t even have fully automated cars in the wild?

That’s an interesting take. So you think we shouldn’t have regulations on this new unproven technology where the government poured billions upon billions to help develop. And that’s fine. Just don’t take gov’t money then.

Can’t wait for Mac Pro.

Correct me if I am wrong but USSR installed hundreds of nuclear-powered light houses across the arctic coast. Many were neglected.

Govt herded everyone to invest in stocks. Now they want to sneak out the back before rates jump.

Herd mentality in Korea is very strong. It’s one of the best places for scammers to run pump and dumps.

A key factor being BYND is a public company and they are under pressure to produce results. These are largely small experimental runs. I think the general consensus is that Impossible is the better product. And my guess is McDonald’s knows this and could be trying to drive down valuation for Impossible so they can buy it. It’s currently valued around $4-5B vs $9B for BYND.

I agree 100%. We need to eat more natural food. Farm our own. In that sense, I think ag tech will be a big disrupter in the next decade.

This was already discussed last week and it was essentially a PR stunt.

Wouldn’t use this product considering that it’s Goldman Sachs backend. What a horrible company and a damn shame Apple partnered with them.

Even as a progressive who read the NYT religiously growing up in NYC, I stopped reading it in the past five years or so. It’s gotten so bad that I don’t think they can recover. The same goes for other highly regarded names in the newspaper business such as the Financial Times, WSJ, etc.

I think it’s simply a reflection of the dying industry. I get my news from Twitter directly from reporters that I respect.

When you saw someone on AIM, at least during dialup days, it meant you will get his/her attention. They were logged into engage in real-time conversation. You just don’t have that level of communication anymore. Most online conversations are asynchronous.

And the same management team stays in place coming out of bankruptcy. Capitalism is a complete joke. But we got ten varieties of Cheerios so there’s that.

They can’t because they’re locked in with their partners. And if they raise it for consumers it will be considered price discrimination.

Investment is informed gambling on human behavior. Important to note especially for HN crowd, is that Claude Shannon’s information theory is very much applicable to trading (and perhaps this is why he was so interested in trading as well). Highly recommend reading The Mathematical Theory of Communication, with this lens and focus. It’s eye opening.

Because they get bored and may do more harm than good. See affluenza.
