And then of course there's "Never Gonna Give Your Teen Spirit up"

Yes, but only in the form of carbonate tablets

This is probably the root cause. e.g. Mozilla shut down the "firefox send" service because of their inability to stop inadvertently hosting malware

Paypal's crappiness was definitely the leading reason for Stripe.

I wonder what is Strope's stance towards blockchain? Will they now also move into blockchain like PayPal, but properly?

I see this behaviour every day. There is even a Neapolitan expression for this: "chiagni e fotti" [1], which could be translated as "cry and screw (others)".

> I recently analyzed the trading activity of Senators [0]

How is this relevant? Surely any senator knowingly engaging in insider trading wouldn't do so directly. They would get someone else to profit from the info and give back to them in either untraceable or legit ways.

This must have been a strong ispiration for the aptly named "The Wave" (2008), although I couldn't find any reference either side.

+1 for the clever naming, got me grinning

Interesting how the top comments are about Microsoft products discontinued years ago. Nowadays google's the one shutting down products people love (reader, inbox...). Looks like an inevitable phase in the unicorn lifecycle.

In this scenario, 15$/H would just be their current price point for the following tier of bottom of the chain not-yet-automated tasks.

true, but this kind of information will eventually leak; job title and basic insider knowledge can take you quite far already

Let the poaching begin. BMW, Porsche and friends will better come up with solid retainers, lest lose their top talent.

Does anyone have insights on how a game between two Alpha-Gos would play out?

I spend quite a lot of time in Parma.

If you happen to go there, know that the best pesto di cavallo shop is the one at the beginning of Via Emilia Est, just off the square to the right.

It's a tiny place, always choc full - you would probably recognise it by the queue spilling out on the pavement.

They only do pesto di cavallo, offering different varieties and even ready made pesto di cavallo tacos!
