We have been using OneLogin as our SSO. We have had positive experience with it. That said, I am eager to know more about the scope of this breach and mitigations.

It is a very competitive market. Customers are price-sensitive. I have many friends who open both Uber and Lyft and take whichever is cheaper. Right now, their prices are very close. If Uber raises 6%, their revenue will drop in my area. Be

Many of my friends open both Lyft and Uber. They choose whichever is cheaper. Sure, Lyft might take a few more minutes to arrive. If you time it well ahead, it does not cost you more time. For me, I would rather take Lyft even if it is a li

Revenue: $3.4B Loss: $708M Growth: 18% Quarter over quarter Cash to burn: $7.2B With the current burn rate, Uber can burn another 10 quarters.

At least right now, computers explore the frontiers of the universe only if we humans tell them to. They explore the way we program them to. If I want to explore the frontiers of Go, I would not care about winning or losing. I would enjoy t

Anywhere below $25,000 does not get the opportunity to use the margin. $10,000 is still far from hoop. $100 per day will get you $2,500 per month conservatively. For a few months of tight pants, you will be able to save enough for $10,00-.

> 15% annual return on nothing is still nothing. This says how disconnected you are from the reality. Many Americans don't even make $100 a day. $10,000 investment plus $10,000 margin multiplied by 15% is significant for many people

It is not fair for everyone. But this is an artificial, unneeded hoop that could be easily removed. If we set it at $25,000, does that prevent "unsophisticated people take their life's savings on a margin call"?

Why do the poor have to get a second job in order to get 2x margin? Why do they have to jump through the hoop when the rich don't have to? If the poor have $2,000, why cannot they use margin as leverage? The opportunities are not equal

The rate for margin is yearly 8% for my brokerage account. The NASDAQ has gone up 15% since Trump got elected. If you use it wisely, it is great leverage. The poor don't even get to use it. They are completely shut out of the opportuni

That is a valid concern. However, clathrates (mostly CH4) is actually much cleaner than coal, by far the biggest source of energy in China. If China can replace coal with clathrates, it would be an huge improvement for the environment.

You have not answered my questions. Why control other people's demand while you don't control your own?

Why can't you suppress your own craving for houses? Why do you want to regulate other people so that you can buy low-priced houses? The market is sending a clear message by increasing prices that we should build more houses. Why do you

It took multiple years for housing prices to go up. It did not happen overnight. If you don't try, there is no chance.

Get your phone out and call your representatives in the congress right now and tell them to change the NIMBY law that restricts constructions. Build more buildings if people like them. Don't restrict them.

We had been telling you to get training, re-education and other qualifications so that you can change jobs and move up the value chain for more than 30 years. These low-paying jobs will be gone eventually, to other developing countries or t

I can understand that people like to blame their problems on others. If housing prices go up, it's China fault. If Americans lose jobs, Mexicans' fault. Anyway, it is much easier to direct anger towards others than to find out the

Absolutely. Same with consumers. They should be able to decide what to buy depending on the price, manufacturing location etc.

Go ahead and take all these low paying, blue collar, manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. China does not want them. You can assemble your own iPhones. These Chinese workers work hard from dawn to dark, in a sweat shop, with no health care, n

Does that imply that Kalanick should be fired? Certainly, it is in his department and should be responsible.

Same here. I am considering cancelling prime too. Amazon is still pretty cheap. But I found the stuff on Amazon has low quality and I had to return stuff too often. Great to see some competition from Walmart. I am going to try it out defini

I have not taken Uber for a long time. Lyft is my first choice even if it takes a little longer and costs more. I really hope Lyft can catch up in terms of market share in the US.

Interesting. I would like to know the comparisons between Fuchsia, and QNX which is also a real-time microkernel operating system that runs on cars and phones. It seems Fuchsia competes with QNX directly in that space. Another question is i
