We are in the midst of a massive trend towards automation and robotics. Every year, we are seeing more tasks and more jobs successfully completed by robots, and more and more robot…

It is true. Apple has a 70% profit margin on sales that they reinvest. Just because revenue is reinvested doesn't mean it isn't revenue or a margin. And, seeing as Apple has >$100,…

Actually, the part where you invent a bad strawman solely for the purpose of labeling me an asshole makes you an asshole. You couldn't even quote me. You couldn't even use my words…

Hey, step out of the 1980's! I have used telecommunication services for over a decade now, and I have never once done business with AT&T or a Mabell company. Perhaps it's YOU who n…

Instead of arguably, I think "currently" works better. We are currently much better robots at these tasks.

Your entire rant completely forgets that Apple runs, on average ~70% profit margin ($700 phone costs about $200 to make). Samsung's profit margins aren't AS high, but still are mas…

Kent described anarchy as law and freedom without force, and a republic as force with law and freedom.

I'm sometimes amazed how otherwise competent adults believe that one investor focused for profit corporation isn't capable of behaving just like another investor focused for profit…

"In my opinion, the best way to deal with these unsolicited emails is to use the unsubscribe link, delete the email, and then swear at them on Twitter or find their CEO's email and…

Personally, there are a select few brands from whom I enjoy reading unsolicited emails. They have proven themselves to me and I like them on an irrationally human level. What bothe…

"Personal vendetta" Hahaha! YES! I have a personal vendetta against unsolicited email. If you send me an email that I am not expecting, then I will flag it as "unsolicited". I do n…

I would point out the recent fun little study showing that the class we are (those who work for a salary) have less say in policy outcomes than the rich (those who do not require a…

Surge Pricing is illegal in Berlin, and probably other European countries. And I imagine the illegality of price gouging ("surge pricing") while also skirting taxi regulation will …

There is nothing we can do, really. Money is very close to power, and obviously the relatively poor (those who rely on a salary) have far less say and control than the extravagantl…

I apologize, I believe it's functionally untrue. I believe functionally that Intuit has approximately 0% effect on tax reform. I was being glib in saying that they do have an effec…

A billion dollars has already been raised in the 2014 midterms . A non-presidential year, 6 months before the election, and a billion has already flowed in. So yes, your millions a…

That's wholly untrue. Yes, the tax preparation industry has made token donations to efforts to preserve the current tax code. But I would argue that the failure of tax reform is no…

>"What? No, we don't do anything like that. What on Earth are you talking about?" I mean that if you view a gfycat it's a totally white page, if you view a mediacrush your logo and…

"MediaCrush is an objectively better service in almost every way imaginable. " I disagree. You're very protective of your work and obviously deluded to the quality. It's a shame. A…

@Sir as a long time reddit user, your total blameshifting of your services inability to compete with gfycat, coming right after listening to you blameshift on why you couldn't comp…

How is it bad for the car? Are Tesla's accepting OTA updates while driving, and updating firmware while the vehicle is moving? If so then you're right, they've made a terribly unsa…

"So, neither MS online mail products, nor online office systems can be trusted any more! Any business owner should know this and withdraw from usage of any MS owned online systems"…
