During the 08 financial crisis, Mitsubishi wrote a $9 billion CHECK to close an investment in Morgan Stanley over a holiday weekend. The concern was that MS's stock would nosedive …

"I’m not surprised, but this makes me feel incredibly sad. I built my first PC using parts from there. I’m going to miss it." Yeah, same here. I'm not sure if the first PC I built …

I would have paid a lot of money for that back in the pre-CSS days, assuming it worked well. Was it purely image-based or could it recognize when an area could be rendered without …

Been reading Matt's work since the Dealbreaker days and agree 100%. It's rare to see someone pull off being genuinely funny when (knowledgeably!) writing about financial and legal …

100%. Coda was especially useful if you weren't running your server stack on your local dev machine. Hit "Publish" and all your changed files are pushed up automatically. So much b…

I thought Toughbooks are made by Panasonic? Did they buy the brand from Toshiba at some point?

PSA being down is interesting. I might have thought there would be greater demand for storage units as people clear stuff out of their houses to make room for home offices/gyms/etc…

Many airlines use both Airbus and Boeing within the same size class. American, United, and Delta all operate both 737s and A320-class planes.

They do not – their fiscal year ends 9/30.

Getting [initial][surname] is pretty impressive. My first ID was [initial][surname]7.

I used to have a terminal and still work with some of Bloomberg's data products. A big part of their value proposition isn't so much the functionality of the terminal (though it's …

Parking is really expensive in a lot of cities. Easily $40/night+ if you're leaving a car at your hotel, plus you have to pay to park while sightseeing/etc.

In CA LLCs have to pay a minimum state tax of $800, plus some misc. other fees depending on location.

No, he’s right. The EV credit is not refundable* so your tax liability has to be at least $7500 to get the full benefit of it. * https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deduc…

Corporate governance was definitely a factor, but getting cut down from $47B to $10-15B is... a lot. Public market investors clearly have a much worse opinion of We's fundamentals …

Same, I own a 2014 15" and have a 2018 15" from work. I haven't had any keys break on the 2018 (yet...) and actually prefer the key travel on it to the 2014. The smaller size is an…

I mean, you would hope it's not possible for it to be that simple but... you could see it, couldn't you?

Odd, Kaiser in CA was willing to send a secure email (I assume that meant an email containing a web link) with my vaccination history when I started grad school at NYU in 2015. To …

Right, and the best argument I've heard for letting T-Mobile and Sprint merge is that there's a real question of whether Sprint continues to exist absent a merger. Could be better …

Laravel also as a lightweight version called Lumen for simpler APIs and things. It includes a lot of the features of core Laravel but has a more stripped-down application structure…

"Why pay you so much, I can just set up a website on Wix for $10." I mean, that's a valid point in the age of Wix and Squarespace. I'm certainly glad I'm no longer in the business …

It's also rumored that United lost a lot of entertainment business when they killed their LAX-JFK service and moved everything to Newark. AA still flies a 3-class plane on LAX/SFO-…

I'd guess there's some kind of interest/penalty you have to pay along with the back premiums.
