    Feels like a slap on the wrist in the grand scheme of things. I expect this to be a catalyst for Alibaba’s stock since the cloud of uncertainty over how severe the CCP punishment w…

    My guess is that that Plaid will go public via a SPAC deal now. I think it's highly likely GSAH (Goldman Sachs Acquisition Holdings) is that SPAC that does a deal. They have $750M …

    Caribu is an app in this space as well. Essentially video calls with sync’ed storybooks.

    Right now for 4/1, we're just doing the 3 pranks. Everything is pretty much a gift box + cookie + envelope containing the custom photoshopped eTicket/reservation. But this is for f…
