Yes its undoubtedly the user base, and the fact that Microsoft has no inroads currently on young social media. So they'd be willing to pay more than say Facebook or Google who already have tons of young eyeballs and probably their own similar platforms tied to Youtube and IG / FG. (I don't...

Lame. Should just ban it. Don't give China all that money for something that will undoubtedly be repro'd here. Give them a taste of their own medicine.

But in this case it could be even more a trailing indicator because of allowed mortgage forbearance and FED help. Bottom line is that the government is going to do everything in its power to try to avoid a 2008 repeat. They're going to push for mortgage forbearance, they're going to keep...

Some not so great rates on there. I've been planning to use Wells Fargo for a while - not sure if I will in the end, but they had super competitive rates for a while because of all the negative publicity they had with that account nonsense. Not as great relatively as they were last year, but...

I've been using a Redfin realtor for the past couple years that I've been pretty happy with. Any realtor could suck, but a couple things about using Redfin that are nice - You get a little refund when purchasing, though this is a small benefit. 1-3k or so. The agent doesn't receive a...

I think taking advantage of low interest rates is a really bad reason to buy right now. The FED is going to do everything it can to keep them suppressed for a long, long while. It will not increase the FED funds rate for a couple years at least. If you have job uncertainty, i wouldn't...

So the only concern is what largely helped bring Macs back as a serious option when Apple switched from Power PC 15 years ago will be gone... its a very different world now, but how many Mac users out there still lean heavily on the x86 compatibility to be able to boot Windows when needed and...

25 to 1 reverse split. Price would be $0.60 if not for that.

The initial drop from +400 to around 0 was due to the NY shutdown. After the Trump et al briefing things kind of drifted between -200 to +100ish for a long while. The bigger selling wasn't until the last couple hours. Yeah I've heard rumors of further lockdowns coming soon. Thought of buying...

Didn't seem to be that ? They didn't start dropping more significantly til long after the briefing.

Cuomo just announced allowing only essential personnel to keep working for now in NY. Dow was dropping like a rock, went from +400 to negative in a couple minutes. Looks like its stabilized though for now around even from yesterday's close interestingly. Seems like a lot of resistance in the...

How confident are you on JPM now though ? Won't they have more trouble making money as rates approach zero ? Honest question. I've seen smart people saying recently that US banks will get destroyed if rates go negative (a la Deutsche.) And the market was pricing in another 100 bp cut...

Giannis not a free agent til after next season. I'm not betting anything on him demanding a trade before that. He'll play out his contract and see whats up in 2021. Bucks will try to extend him with the supermax, and it he might give signals to them about hesitance to stick around at that...

You couldn't have drawn this season up much better for the Warriors so far really. Klay / Steph / Draymond get tons of rest. Gives them a chance to recharge / remotivate themselves after a long 5 years stretch. Trade D-Lo for a more useful player (overpaid but can at least play a little more...

Holy shit.. 10-year treasury yield is at 0.48% right now. The money is flowing into bonds endlessly.

During trading today it was noted that the 10-year yield dropped under 0.9% for the first time ever (well duh its been all firsts lately but anyways.. ) And now 12 hours later its just dropped under 0.8%. I think it was just a week ago it dropped under 1.3% for the first time ever... odds of...

Probably cause he's not 60+ ? I mean we've all seen the video of him hobbling out for game 7, but not many here watched the dude play. I loved watching Knicks ball in the 90's. I'd think of 20+ guys or moments from that era on before I ever got to Willis Reed. Starks dunk over Jordan and...

Fear is still through the roof. Futures pointing down again. 10-year treasury yield smashed through below 1.3% yesterday for the first time ever... Its gone down another 10 BPs today and is now below 1.2%. If there's any kind of bounce in the next week, it could just be setting up for another...

10-year yield has dropped over 8 BP's tonight to just under 1.39% now. Hell, that 100 pt S&P drop could potentially all come tomorrow. Futures currently showing down 70, DOW down 550.

Super entertaining ending, too bad team Giannis was handicapped with Lowry and Kemba taking a majority of their crunch time shots in an all star game lol. That Giannis block on Lebron was amazing though.

Warriors send D-Lo to the Wolves for Wiggins and a protected future first... meh. Would have much rather they waited until summer to see who was available then. Don't like D-Lo much but he had some value. Wiggins has less. They did need a SF at least, and maybe the pick will turn into something.

1. BR2049 - when i walked out of the theater I felt like I'd just seen a 10/10 movie. 2. Infinity War - maybe the most rewatchable movie of the decade, so many great moments and fight scenes. Together with Endgame its a culmination of superb storytelling done right. Slightly edges out...

Its free money, there's no reason to not do as much as you can as long as you don't need the money right away which it sounds like you don't. I've sold a lot of mine almost immediately after the actual stock purchase due to not wanting to have too many eggs in one basket (and regretted it due...

Return of the Jedi Empire A New Hope Revenge of the Sith The Force Awakens Phantom Menace Rise of Skywalker? Attack of the Clones Rogue One The homemade Star Wars movie I made with my action figures when I was 7. I had Boba Fett's ship and it was bad ass. Boycotted Solo . . . The Last Jedi (if...

No reason most of that couldn't have been in the second movie. TFA was fine to put the ball on the tee, Rian Johnson just whiffed at it like 10 times then threw the ball over the fence in frustration and laughed about it cause he's a giant pussy. Complain about Abrams' extravagance, and I...

Cantrell wrote Rooster.

Just hit me that we're only about a year out from this, fucking stoked! That cast.... is it going to be possible for this to meet expectations? I mean I fucking loooooved BR2049, it was a 10/10, and my expectations are that this movie will exceed it.

No it isn't. Streaming will be fine for some games, not fine for others. Stadia is probably a non-starter, but there's no reason X-Box and PlayStation can't have some success with it. I don't know if it'll ever be the primary play method, but it obviously wouldn't happen for a while. For now...

Sucks. RIP Brad.

Saw the movie, it was whatever. Thread is just making me want to go back and watch The Sarah Conner Chronicles. I was just randomly reminded of one of the terminators in that show who was sent back to the 20's or something, started a construction company?, sealed himself in the walls of one...

This season for the Warriors is now all about trying to find a couple of the young guys that will be able to contribute when everybody is back healthy next season (hopefully). Eric Paschall is giving some early hope on that front at least. 34/13 last night in a win against the Blazers for the...

Civ 6 needs stacks.

If only they could somehow fire Rian Johnson from the trilogy they promised him, and replace him with Villeneuve, we might have A New Hope...

Disney should pay Lucas another 4 billion to write them something worth a damn. Complain all you want about the prequels, but they didn't ruin the original trilogy. These last 3 are a soulless abomination. Took everything that was good about the original trilogy and just absofuckinglutely...

I remember giving a presentation in my college speech class some ~20ish years ago on quantum computing based on an IEEE article I had read at the time. At a heavy engineering school, but I think there weren't a lot of engineers in that particular class. The other students in the class were...

No, been a long time since quantum mechanics classes but pretty sure your ship experiences the mass increase. You would need infinite energy to accelerate to c. E=mc^2. m is actually M, the relativistic mass where the rest mass is multiplied by the Lorentz factor. Relativistic mass is...

It depends what % of c we're talking about. Below 0.9c or so yes, time and slowing down are the biggest problems AFTER the possibility of running into almost anything larger than a rock. If you want to start traveling much greater than 0.9c or so, that's where mass (and thus energy) start to...

But the point they are making is that traveling at relativistic speeds is a giant question mark. Based on what we know now, there's a good chance we'll never be able to.

Cause she is Anakin. She's his clone. The Emperor made her, and its time for him to return to collect his new apprentice.
