Can somebody explain how this graph makes sense? It seems to imply the top 2 people own 30% of the wealth, which is not what the data states.

VC money at work baby!

Why e-paper over a monitor with a presence sensor? Wouldn't it be cheaper and higher fidelity?

It's a coordinated effort by the union. It means the piece isn't impartial- nor is the sponsorship disclosed.

"...has filed paperwork to go public..." Enough said

This is good news. For those who don't know, journalling apps universally suck. Especially when it comes to security. Day One, the canonically recommended app, doesn't even locally…

"Radio Silence" does the same thing as this- but without subscription. And only $9.

I recommend people click into the link and read the full quote. The quote snippet is out of context and feels like its done strategically.

You are using the same logic that would cause somebody to make statements like "Ads don't work on me because I know they're ads". Don't treat people like they are rational, because…

That's the point; VW puts out the "VW Golf", not the "Bugatti Golf", for a reason.

by the simple fact that nobody will think more of Omega with this collaboration, some people will think less of it. Net-of-net, it'll be a decrease in general opinions, which leads…

I don't really understand what you're talking about- but yes, the watch industry- like all luxury industries, is primarily driven by marketing. It's not a scam, it's just the natur…

I'm not sure what there is to not understand? But yes, Swatch should not have released a cheaper facsimile if they wanted to maximize Omega's brand value.

Let's not be naive, if the market gave a shit about substance over marketing, we'd all be wearing Seikos and driving Toyotas.

Because it’s a marketing stunt involving an investment I made; an investment I made with the implicit understanding there’ll be some protection for the brand’s dignity.

I agree, but to be fair: 1. It has generated significant attention- which has value. 2. Like a BMW 1-series, I imagine the idea is that once people have the "beginner" version, the…

The most interesting thing about this war has been experiencing first-hand the idea of "our propaganda is news and theirs news is propaganda". It really makes you think twice about…

The difference is that in Western society (assume you're Western), we've agreed that people should have the right to think for themselves and decided what is right and wrong- so it…

Sorry, I'm not sure what you're talking about. But I think it's pretty basic common sense that nobody censoring information will explicitly admit to it.

This is the exact same response you'd get if it had everything to do with censorship.
