    Shareholders aren't idiots. They are in it for the money.
    Stable stocks are only nice if they pay a good dividend. Tech stocks usually don't, which is why they attract short term investors who aren't interested in timeframes beyond the next earnings report.

    Not content with Trumpary stories, we now get Brexit stories as well?

    Pointless shouting matches ahead!

  5. They are not the fucking Illuminati.They are just a bunch of sad shits who are shunned at family gatherings.

  8. How about not complicating a game about couple of guys throwing a ball around to the point where you need a convoluted IT infrastructure to support it?

  9. Re:The old world finally realizes on Governor Cuomo Bans Airbnb From Listing Short-Term Rentals In New York (nypost.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    There's little reason for it except that the hotel industry has greased enough palms to get a law passed in their favour.

    Housing shortage is one good reason, safety is another. Plus it's a nuisance for the neighbours to have short stay guests partying all night and making a fucking pigsty of the building.

    Most of these laws are on the books to make a city a nicer place to live. Sites like AirBnB and Uber are not about sharing but about selfish parasitic behaviour. I hope cities across the world will follow New York's example on this one.

  10. But, as several posts in this thread prove, that argument works both ways. If you buy a crap phone you convince yourself that you're better off because it was so cheap.

    We have a similar bed-sharing thing around here.

    No not on Tesla's finances or on safety concerns about the stuff we're making now.
    Look over there to my new pie-in-the-sky idea."

    And when the whole Musk empire finally goes bankrupt it will all have been a big conspiracy against progress.
    Nothing to do with big ideas bumping against harsh reality.

    Which is terrible, because these days even Acrobat Reader has a function to add your signature to a form and save it without jumping through analog hoops. Preview on Mac can do it as well.
