Wasn't Vista one of the Windows versions that was known for having bugs?

Over promise, under deliver. Smart move. Certainly one that anyone in programming can relate to.

I heard Trump did this to many of his contractors.

I am assuming that you were 18 in the 70s?

And if you're getting started today in investing -- it's always a good time to invest. If you think that 10 years ago you should have invested in X, then in 10 years from now you'll be thinking you should have invested in Y.

For example -- buying BTC is a bit expensive today and will likely be more expensive in the future. You could buy 1 BTC today and hope that it goes up significantly in the future. OR you could look at Ethereum and realize that it's in a similar place to BTC and that in 7 years from now you may be wishing you had purchased it today.

Religion is control of the masses. Spirituality is exploration of the spirit.

"Just the few"? I would say there are significantly fewer people with Tango enabled Android tablets than iPhones/iPads that ARKit can be run on.

Building out their AR division it seems like.

The primary factor being proximity to other people in the same industry is dramatically higher, and jobs within the computer industry in Silicon Valley are so much more dense than any other place on the planet. The joke in SF is that you can't walk 5 feet without running into a programmer or a startup founder. Go to anywhere else in the world and there are comparatively a very small number of programmers/startup founders.

In LA you have something similar with movies -- most people are aspiring actors and there are many people in filming and sets. However, working as a programmer in LA versus SF is very different -- there are a lot fewer engineers and entrepreneurs here per mile than the Bay Area.

It comes down to proximity to people of the same talent set. Where are the people who are good at X living? That's where X is thriving. If suddenly all the engineers left Silicon Valley, it would no longer be a tech hub.

Netflix or Pandora for books?

It's funny because it's true.

There's a lot of cities trying to figure out how to handle Airbnb -- Barcelona for example is cracking down on unlicensed AirBNB's -- and the reason is the resulting rent increases.

Like taxis and taxi cab companies taking their hatred out on Lyft or Uber, I do believe that technology changes economies and that this will be another example of a misled attempt to prevent a technology from changing a city's economy. I also believe that many times these preventative measures are led by lobbyists by the very industry that is being hurt by the technology, and in this case it's likely hotels -- but then blaming it on rent prices.

It'll be great to see where all this leads, but making it illegal and taking it out on owners or drivers is going the wrong direction.

Build 75,000,000 of them.

Baby steps. Also -- hopefully jets become electric at some point. No reason for them not to.

Exactly! I said the exact same thing not long ago and it's a spot on assessment!
