TTM Revenue is $561 Million. Am I the only one that thinks this is insane? Even with the Q4 market route some of these cloud stock valuations have a bubble feeling to them.

Kind of confused why Rekognition continues to be made into the 'bad guy' here. Even if stronger protections are rolled out for this it's become far too easy to make these types of systems to do a great job of keeping them at

Kind of interesting to see Microsoft & Amazon 'passing by' Google lately, considering how much more earning power they have than either of them. Even if Amazon didn't spend a dime on R&D the most they could've ea

Seems like part of what this article is discussing is the emerging 'Shopify effect'. The barriers to entry for starting an online brand-based business have plummetted to the point where even people with little means financially an

Very good postulation I had not thought of that. I think it will be important for HN to retain that level of quality as I think we have all benefitted from the higher-than-average level of thought that goes into an HN comment relative to ot

Seems like the quality of content & comments posted on HN goes down dramatically whenever the discussion is on Facebook or Snap. I understand these are hot-button companies but I think HN could do better than to have these aimless discu

Can anybody who lives in the valley speak to whether people really hate Zuckerberg enough over there to the point where this seems like a rational thing to do? I live out in Mass and while the 'scandal' has definitely been front p

A brilliant CEO in Elk and an unfortunate industry. It will be interesting to see how they face marginalization. The risk factors of Apple being able to retain 100% of their revenue while Spotify being forced to give away 30% back to Apple

I find it unfathomable he doesn't have a firm pulse on how YouTube is progressing as a business. It is effectively their Instagram and could end up being bigger than Google search itself. It's their next step forward in monetizati

Snap and Bitmoji are at the top of the charts in the app & play store (even above Instagram for the most part) since the update came out, so I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Under/Over 10 years after Bezos retires, does Amazon end up looking like GE does now? This spree of Amazon getting into markets that are already at near-perfect competition levels is a bit worrying. How many people could reasonably ha
