Re:Bitcoin’s Wild Ride Shows the Truth: It Is Probably Worth Zero on Tuesday September 19, 2017 @06:09AM (#15283196)
Why there is so much negative PR going around about Bitcoin suddenly? I believe that people like Jamie Dimon trying to lower the price by creating these kind of stories to buy more.

Bitcoin will rise no matter what. Atleast for 5 more years.

Re:Why Are Some Countries Rich and Others Poor? on Thursday September 14, 2017 @03:22AM (#15245620)
There must be a definition of rich and poor. It should not be devised by looking at the wealth. It should be devised by looking at the living standards, education system, environment, law and order, equality, zero racism. And where people can live an anxiety/depression free life. Where there is welfare, care, love grows everyday for each other.
Re:Equifax’s Maddening Unaccountability on Wednesday September 13, 2017 @03:37AM (#15236260)
I accept my mistake in judging the situation. Thanks a lot for elaborating it. I agree to all your points.
Re:Equifax’s Maddening Unaccountability on Tuesday September 12, 2017 @09:17AM (#15226996)
Whatever happened at Equifax was disastrous. But I really liked the way that they are containing it. Their CEO released a statement. They launched a specific site for security scans for their user for free. They are communicating it to their customers transparently.

With that I also saw that cyber security is and will be the biggest threats of the next decade. They are many cyber security companies these days but I didn't see a single company moving forward to support the Equifax team to figure out what happened and how it can be prevented. Cyber security companies should have volunteered for the cause.

Will the plant protein meat ever trump the animal meat market? I believe that it will but it would take more than 10 years from now.

India could become a huge market for the plant protein meat.

Beyondmeat is one great example.

Re:LinkedIn: It’s illegal to scrape our website without permission on Tuesday August 01, 2017 @04:33AM (#14898783)
Is scraping public data on a specific platform like LinkedIn is illegal? Why?

According to TechCrunch, they sued hundreds of "Anonymous" individuals last year.

How can unnamed people can be sued?

Re:Spotify preps to go public with 60M subscribers on Tuesday August 01, 2017 @04:20AM (#14898729)
60M subscribers and still not profitable, why?

Would you buy a stock in a company that has been in business from last 11 years and cannot make a profit yet?

Re:Mercedes kills their only electric car on Tuesday August 01, 2017 @04:14AM (#14898700)
Scared by Tesla? I believe that Tesla is far ahead of any electric car maker in the world right now. The three stage vision of making an affordable car by Elon Musk is now a reality.

Most of the elite car makers like Mercedes and BMW cannot price their units down to $35000.

Tesla didn't only think of making a car but also they have created a web of charging stations in US.

Tesla Model 3 will be everywhere by 2020.
