For the sake of all of us I hope this plane never sees another flight.

It definitely is. Automation is the end game. Devs are expensive and error prone.

Rick Hanson has been a life saver. He is a psychologist with lots of meditation practice. https://www.rickhanson.net/ Also I've really enjoyed Heart Math. That book is where I lear…

There definitely are things you can do, but in my experience when you feel this way it is really hard to do them. I've been reading and listening to a few things that are helping m…

These types of applications come and go. That a Chinese company made a popular one shouldn't be shocking or indicate some major breakthrough.

You don't seem to know much about gov financial regulation. 1. Gov didn't embrace bitcoin, they regulated it. The exchanges have to do KYC and AML monitoring and report activity. 2…

It's not ego, it's greed.

The follow on question is, how did an idiot get so much money?

That was my first thought. I'd be out of there. Though you might want to ensure its not going to catch that floor on fire.

I live in a big city and never see the stars now.

Insurance products are typically designed to make money for the provider. I'm sure they are doing a lot to lower risk.

Most feature rich cloud? I think that title belongs to AWS.

It really made sense for the Chinese companies to go this route since they didn't own the mobile OS. They effectively become an OS like you say.

There are domains of problems that can be solved with the WeChat model. Money, shopping, paying utilities, ordering food, etc, make sense to have in one app. I don't know if I'd wa…

That's a great direction to think in. Eventually the car will become a relic of the past, like the horse drawn carriage.

That's a bold statement. What's your reason to make it?

Another way to look at it is that the entire relationship to personal transportation is going to be reinvented over the coming decades. It's going to be very profitable. And who kn…

That's pretty cool. Hopefully it's gone thru some renovations over the years.

I felt there was a comment like OPs before I opened the discussion. Only thing I'm left wondering is which country OP is from. Seems like a German thing to say.

It's a big company and hard to blame an individual for mistakes. But they totally missed out on being the mobile OS of the future under him. And they ended up getting a late, slow …
