Life is good again, and employment is up, for hackers. The primary reason to have a smartphone hub is security. If you don't have that, you might as well just let the devices talk directly to their servers as they wish.
Well you are definitely wrong with your last point: when public companies get bought, the buyer usually pays MORE than the market cap. It is true that the stock wasn't all bought at the current price, but with a stock that is high volume like Apple, it still takes a huge infusion of cash to move the stock that much.
I would have thought so too, but look how much apple stock has grown in market cap in the past five years. The kind of money that has to flow in for that to happen is ridiculous. So it seems there's no impractical top to what a stock can do.
Is there any reason to believe the Q2 report will be good? Facebook's report wasn't bad, for example. There may be a strong headwind against Nasdaq right now.
If it's the Sterling, people will laugh at them for not joining the Euro. In the end, it will be somewhat more eventful than Argentina but no one remembers that. No one will do anything unless their banks are dependent on England to the point that they will collapse (which is what happened with Greece and Portugal). The real problem will happen when it becomes apparent that the US can't borrow enough to cover its expenses. But again, I don't see a trigger for that happening for 30 years at least.
I'm expecting a credit crunch induced global _mess_. We can't all keep printing money, then pissing it away./quote.
OK, but for how long? Who's to say we can't keep doing that for a hundred more years?
It's interesting you mention Hong Kong, because that is really relevant here.
People in Taiwan were watching how Hong Kong got treated, and they didn't like it at all. If the Chinese government had treated Hong Kong better, then Taiwan would have been much more willing to join.....but now there is too much opposition to that viewpoint, because they can see what will happen.
To be clear, it isn't about economics or money: it's about freedom. The people in ROC see how Hong Kong has lost their freedoms, and they don't want to lose their own.
Good point. The next election is going to be really interesting. Worth mentioning that Obama had no visibility at this point in the campaign cycle when he won.
The AI hype is sound and on solid footing compared to the blockchain hype: I've never seen so much effort poured into such a useless technology, cthulu be praised.
I thought that too, but the other day I say a Neanderthal skull in a museum. The teeth look like a mouth full of molars, ready to eat plants, and yet further analysis shows they also ate meat. We've evolved as omnivores, capable of thriving with a wide variety of different diets.
If Google gets self-deceiving tech first (level 1 or level 2) then Ford will license it. Otherwise, if Ford gets there first, they will have a huge competitive advantage over other automakers.

Oh you old geezer. Slack != Slackware.
One of those takes freedom, the other one gives it.
Patreon, Kickstarter, or similar and I would donate.
Formal verification is the answer to a lot of these problems.
It's not about whether it's a good report or a bad report. It's about whether it's a better or worse report than people are expecting.
That's a point worth repeating.

Why not? Do you hope Facebook will continue to shrink, as I do?

Keep it up!

TDS is when you lose all touch with reality because you are too emotionally involved with Trump. Sad. It affects both parties.
If you write open source code, you need to be at least somewhat aware of copyright and patent laws.
One of the first foreign leaders Trump met with was the president of Taiwan. You have TDS.

Somehow people have forgotten about the bank bailout.
That seems extremely and overly optimistic at this point. Not that I would complain to see it happen, I just don't think it will.

I think hunting it yourself must make it taste better otherwise no one would eat venison.

I don't even know what you mean by "stomping on the base"
Cool, good to hear a live report
