Strap not included and sold separately

All jokes aside. This is great from Apple!

I find it incredibly ironic that it took me about 30 seconds to go to the author's profile, see him plaster all the social media platforms we can reach him on. Went to his Instagram and could tell where he lives, where's staying at when he travels, that he enjoys walks with his mom in Centennial beach in Delta, BC and what he does for hobbies.

All this in under a minute and yet here we are panicking over a Russian Company that can do whatever it wants with your face pictures.

Ok.

Sanctions imposed by the U.S that hold no merit according to WTO or International law aren't even legal and are in fact considered an act of war. The only crime committed here is by the U.S.

Like the numbers investors saw for Snap before it’s IPO and it’s not doing so well right now. This 120B valuation doesn’t make sense regardless of the numbers. Especially considering they just did a bond sale with an 8% coupon. What company worth 120B sales bonds with an 8% coupon? Absurd tech bubble with ridiculously valued “unicorns”

Typical problem of "path to least resistance" which is also the reason Amazon succeeded so well by recommending products ( Netflix does the same with show recommendations) We are by nature prone to take the path that requires the least effort so Cooking vs Ordering food ( which arguably has been made a LOT easier with the likes of Postmates,foodora, Uber eats etc...) means that people will have a tendency to order food instead of cook. Especially when you consider the amount of competition among these food delivery companies and the discounts/promotions they throw at users to retain their business.

I'm currently reading a book called "Financial Shenanigans" and I'd highly recommend it. It's about account shenanigans companies do to make their business seem more profitable than it really is. Not sure if this applies here but interestingly there's a section that discusses IPO's and how investors should be very careful when companies decide to do an IPO through a M&A (Merger and Acquisition) instead of the usual IPO because it circumvents a lot of the SEC scrutiny that they'd normally be subject to in a normal IPO. Found it interesting that SAP acquired Qualtrics a few days before their IPO. Anyways just food for thought.

Dating apps are more directed towards younger generations ( Millennials, Generation Z) and if you look at recent use those generations seem to be dropping Facebook.

Most likely because they all do it

Yea i meant having to swipe up from the bottom of the screen

Swiping all the way down the screen to unlock with FaceID is going to be a big burden on the Ipad Pro. Less of a burden on the iPhone series for obvious reasons but really? Why not let people swipe up anywhere on the screen to unlock FaceID.

Evan thinks he's steve jobs. Lost god knows how many users of Snapchat because he felt compelled to completely redesign the app himself and looks like he off course when Instagram started copying Snapchat's features. A lot of these companies that aren't profitable rush to become public without a proper business model and end up getting crushed ( eg: HMNY company of movie pass) It's no surprise that Snapchat is doing so poorly and lots of us could have called this ahead of time. I really don't see this company being around in 2-3 years.

NON-Gaap reports are a joke. Honestly, why are they still legal? All reports should be GAAP. Accounting mechanics make it easy for non-gaap to show a profit!

Providing the solution to a problem that doesn't exist

Hey Google,Facebook etc... You've had data breaches and you don't really seem to care about user info and privacy, what's your response? Facebook & Google: "Introducing these new gadgets to use in your home, where we can get access to everything you do or look up during the day"

If anyone wants an amazing book that changed my perspective about life and death I'd highly recommend "The Tibetan book of living and dying".
