What was your gain on the 15,625 shares you did own? What year did you sell them?

I thought they were resurrecting Microsoft Bob, the operating system for kids.

Power, land, water, people - all expensive in CA.

$50B is <2% of Amazon's market cap. There is no reason to believe the difference in the two investments drove this disclosure.

Are you sure about that? From Mollie's webiste:

Mollie B.V. is licensed and registered as an electronic money institution with the Dutch Central Bank (relationship number: F0038). Mollie UK Ltd is licensed and registered with the Financial Conduct Authority as a payment institution in the UK (FRN: 977968).

I think we're going to see a ton of this in the coming years. A return to the 60s/70s when people were going off the grid, moving to a farm, or just disconnecting

Sure, but nowhere near as easy as filling a dispute on most other payment networks.

iDeal is terrible for fraud. Consumers have to file a police report.

The specifics of the article zero sense. Net Income and Operating Cash Flow are not the same thing so there is no mystery about whey they are different especially in a business with large Capex and long lead times.

NVIDIA's historic DSO figures have also ranged from 41 to 57 over the last 5 years, so again not that crazy.

Exactly the same. I loved Dharma Bums much more as a book, but On the Road certainly changed the course of my life. I'd always been made to wander, but never fully understood it.

But it is also the largest state with the most expensive home so on a $ weighted basis it is a big chunk of the national total.

“Cloud”

Is allowing them to impose the same kind of restrictions in their US app as they do for their own citizens good for free speech?

I agree with everything you're saying, but I also can't fully square up that the equivalent American apps aren't allowed in China. This is about freedom of speech on app built by a country that has no freedom of speech. I realize this point is orthogonal, but is still an important element of the decision.

Agree. Social and emotional development is a real thing. I think most students (especially boys) are better off being more challenged in their age-appropriate grade-level than skipping.

What do you see as the key points that create a lot more value?

Probably just increasing the number of Accenture and Infosys offshore engineers and H1Bs they're using. Most of these jobs are probably old school IT.

Just in case you needed a theme song for your future ads: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTnMvULdcB4

It was fun to use while it was free, but not worth continuing. City driving was terrible and disconnected frequently. Highway driving is pretty nice, but not that much better than the adaptive cruise control that is free or the cruise control on my Subaru.

"Dad Suggests Arriving At Airport 14 Hours Early" is my all-time fav.

Funny. In with the roar of multiple paragraphs spent explaining all the reasons this spot will be the next big one. And then out with a quick whimper that the scientists are not convicted.

It feels even clunkier now in this video than it did when it came out.

> CEO and COO said that didn't want to get involved and it was for me and CUXO to sort it out ourselves.

It seems like they're sending you a signal that the CUXO's argument has at least some merit. Last time they were aligned with you and this time they're telling you to sort it out yourself. Ask the CEO and COO is they have some feedback for you that they're holding back on.

I took CS 445 Algorithms at Arizona with Udi Manber as the professor in the late 90s. Tough class. The .com boom was picking up at that point and I think he went to Yahoo shortly after.

a/b testing obviously drives these kinds of site designs. The business leaders get what they want, but eventually these over-a/b tested products open themselves to disruption.

I also think its funny when people accuse these companies of being immoral, but I think a/b testing is creating these bizarre amoral companies. And once they get lost they seem really lost.

That could apply to a huge portion of all businesses on Twitter. How many of the F500 have benefitted from a gov't bailout or some other taxpayer subsidy. No one is really squeaky clean on this front.

Hard to believe that they've owned Hotmail/Outlook.com for over 20 years and their spam filtering is still atrocious. Gmail is 100x better and so is O365.

I saw ChatGPT+ and I was thinking this was a streaming service that only hosted AI-generated content.

So this is basically like building Box for G Suite?
