The main thesis of this article is true but honestly the author has done a very unconvincing job to back it up. For example my problem is with his references: "Firm investments in high-tech equipment and software is falling"...whe

Why not just go and acquire an Austin based startup called uShip? https://www.uship.com/ Uber has a boatload of cash. Why reinvent a wheel? uShip has a funding of $44.71M in several rounds according to crunchbase. Uber sure

Given how possessive Google have become of Android, I doubt it Amazon would want to invest any further in Android based devices.

I like your recent DDOS attack point in context to IOT devices. One argument in favor of Apple's wait stance could be that they just want the IOT/home-automation market to mature enough for them to come in with their voice-tech in

My (unbiased) 2 cents.. “Qualitatively, Amazon’s position is more secure than the numbers would indicate.” I beg to differ. I believe Apple has a much more secured position than Amazon in the long run, given how Siri is already integrated i

Let's also not downplay the "Yahoo" brand name. It does not have much high impact negative publicity associated to it (yet). The name "Yahoo!" goes as far back as the Internet for modern day users i.e. 30+ yrs age g

So the merger made this new "entity" 5th largest airline in the U.S. after AA, Delta, United, JetBlue, Southwest. I guess it is considered an achievement for some.

I am guessing other pet projects, R&D for Amazon. Clearly not in cancer research or funding of infrastructure or investments in other need base communities. Last time I heard Amazon is struggling with net positive cash flow because it k

Try to become a part of the solution not part of the problem. As an engineer, this is a mesmerizing and a very appreciative tech. Kudos. As a (selfless) neighbor, I can never be happy to see unemployed neighbors. Sure we can create these au

Guys this is not good. As much as I love the convenience of pick-and-go, this eventually will prove out to be drastic for a variety of bad socioeconomic reasons, that most of us are already aware of. Small businesses were already suffering

I feel like the author stressed too much on the word "Tech" without differentiating much between the very basic nature of SW-Tech and HW-Tech. In hardware assembly lines you need more workersa and bodies, let them be in the USA or

Given the current political climate and default skepticism and fear that comes with air traveling, I would not take $50 to take someone else's goods. Heck I double check if one of my friends of family member try to send an item with me
