in short, this is just squeezing the proverbial balloon...it moves the issue to a different area...over time, taxes have been high jacked and twisted into being used as incentives for influencing behaviors...the problem with that is that yo

Stated another way. National and State lotteries are the largest ongoing wealth transfer from the lower-income bracket in the US. The lotteries are overwhelming played by the lower-income and that money is used to fund a large number of thi

There may be more parallels to SBF and Jon Corzine than to Bernie Madoff. SBF and Corzine ran companies that were regulated by the CFTC which requires segmentation of client funds from corporate funds. Both SBF and Corzine failed to provide

Enough is enough. No more running from app to app to avoid the death grip of Adobe. A call to action against Adobe's business practices of reducing competition and increasing prices. #StopAdobe and #SaveFigma

In the examples that you site, the acquisitions were complementary additions. In this case, Adobe already has a competing product suite.

it saddens me that we have not put more thought into this topic and we constantly put our education, safety, and services on the economic roller coaster. no matter how much your home is worth today or in ten years you and other in the commu

This statement is often used and is misleading without the context of income of this 1% as a percentage. So, if this 1% earns 80% of all income, then 35-40% is relatively low. I'm not sure if your intent was to mislead or just reiterat

I think that your intentions are good, but approach may be off a bit. I agree that the SEC does protect investors and markets, but I do not agree that a company should be in the black before they IPO. I think that your main concern is the p

Not sure that I completely follow your logic in regards to the "tax" here. With any product, you have two main things: production of the product and distribution of the product. Spotify doesn't NEED to be on Apple devices (th

with every interaction, we either build trust, maintain trust, or erode trust. it's sad to know that a child was assaulted by an adult and that his trust in law enforcement to serve and protect failed him and his family miserably

Interesting considering the case of hotel mini-bars. In some cases, you get charged regardless of use it. If it senses that you removed the item, you will be charged.

Thanks for sharing the lessons that you learned and evolution of AptDeco. Great presentation with sound advice. Typically, a VC will go all in one category with one company. That company in this space seemed to be MoveLoot at the time. What

Interesting. I switched from Spotify to Apple Music. The "For You" section with curated playlists were way better than the Spotify playlists IMO. I only wish that I could choose an activity (workout, etc.) and/or mood and a g

It's actually sad that this company with only patents and no products is a listed public company on a regulated US exchange.

Seems like a great use of Slack. Unfortunately, my first and only experience with Slack has not been a fantasy. I joined a public slack on startups and everytime I check, I'm 100+ messages behind. Seems like a giant chat room. I'm

Not sure about this. Pricing reads "funding sources" with no reference to the number of bank accounts that you can charge. http://blog.dwolla.com/connect-multiple-funding-sources-dwol...

Previously, if you use the coinbase wallet to purchase BTC, then you would have to wait 6 days to get the BTC unless you transferred money to Coinbase Exchange and purchased them directly. This simply removes that step and executes your buy

Where did you get these stats? Your statement does not seem to acknowledge that there is an interdependence between violence/homicide and illegal drug trade.

Ok, so what is your suggestion for making the parents less poor or less high? General and baseless comments like these do not contribute positively to the collective conversation.
