  3. Re:One Billion? on Facebook To Buy Instagram For $1 Billion · · Score: 1

    Isnt the point that facebook wants the photo data. If people were to save all their photos to instagram rather than facebook, then migrating to another social networking service would be a lot easier (since the main reason stopping people migrating is likely the loads of photos they already have uploaded).

  7. Re:Why is it bad ? on The Real Job Threat · · Score: 1

    Only that you have one company with "X" people producing this machine.
    If X + Y people were replaced by the machine, which is likely to be the case since it is pointless to automate something where there would be minimal gains. What do the Y people do instead?
    Assuming this occurs across all industries, where are the jobs? Not every burger flipper has the intelligence to become an engineer/manager

    Yes, but with the addition of leverage they can magically create more money. Not that that has ever caused any issues...

    Surely Netflix could just do the same as apple or amazon and stream the dvd's they have purchased over the internet without doing a deal with the studios?

    However, if the US needs to rollover its debt and the rest of the world insists on the debt being denominated as a mixed bag of currencies then in future it will not be able to get away with devaluing its currency. As soon as the USD is no longer the reserve currency there will be issues.

    Well, I'm off to tie up a few loose ends. It's only a matter of time before he gets X running in there. After that someone will try running firefox. Shortly after that someone will direct that copy of firefox to the link posted in the summary and then the universe will end.

    You're thinking about it the wrong way. Consider it more like inception where instead of dreams within you have browsers within browsers.

    Why for a digital download should the price not be equal. Surely our content hosting is not 50% more expensive. And its not just because the AUD has risen. Back when we were far from parity we were still paying well above the converted price.

    Shuffling money around is actually important. Part of what investment banks do is allocating resources to allow the creation of your "actual products". Whether this is needed by the millisecond in HFT i doubt. But not everyone who works in finance are in those areas.
