There wasn't a single chapter devoted to actionable items. As much as I like to read 199 pages pf reports, their value goes down rapidly once there is no sense of finding solutions.
This is a good 'pointing-fingers' i-told-you-so kind of bureaucracy. They should know better
“Similar to how cities are made from cement and steel, but are really built by their citizens, Reddit is made from code and algorithms, but is really built by our users”
“We see a spirit of entrepreneurship among Redditors, who are constantly pushing the boundaries of what Reddit can be used for. To support their creativity, we are developing new ways to earn money on Reddit. We have enabled artistic users to earn millions creating avatars”
Please remember that any publicly-traded company must follow guidelines, US-based or otherwise. There are rules for what constitute R&D for those who want to understand why 'company asked me to fill a report'
If that is the case, then you shouldn't be using Apple, Google, Intel, Nvidia, Stripe, Shopify, Meta, Git, etc etc.
Companies raise money now to generate cash flows in the future from a wildly risky innovation. Assuming the thesis is correct, the company will then to pay it back to investors (VCs and their investors including Endowment Funds), but also employee and taxes.
As companies grow, they pay more taxes, and this will let government spend in things like education, infrastructure, social security.
It's either this or socialism.

On iOS you can disable cellular data and it won't allow the app to connect to the Internet, and you can work on Wifi Assist to remove cellular data even on wifi
Would love if there were additional info on pricing (per pound, per metric), any sustainability issues (see Dark Waters for teflon [1]), and lastly ownership (are these patent protected, largest manufacthrers)
As CEO you may want need to become familiar with the rules that govern insider information. Typically if you are a director you cannot trade the stocks you own based on material non-public information.
Also, you may want to read Matt Levine's newsletter. It has plenty of very weird examples that sound just like this.
While this may be the case for capital-intensive businesses (oil, consumer goods, energy), this is usually not the case for intangible-asset businesses (media, tech). In the former, the assets will generate cashflow, whereas in the latter it's a people-centric model
What was the last time you chose yahoo over google or altavista over google?
Google was always greedy, but when it was small it was cool to be the disruptor. Now it's perceived as only greedy. This is typically the case for any successful company (from HP, IBM, to the new 'big tech').
Good (related) book recommendation btw: capitalism without capital
“The percentage of stock borrowed by traders, a standard measure of short interest, has slumped to 1.1% of Tesla’s shares available for trading, according to IHS Markit Ltd. as of last Thursday. That’s the lowest since 2010, when the carmaker went public.”
I think there is an under-appreciated average search engine user in the comment:
People will typically write their intent on the search engine even when they could simply directly to the website.
Case in point: The top 10 bing searches are for websites, including FB, Google, Youtube [1]. This traffic is highly competitive and should (as in all competitive markets) be bid among competitors.
> Hyperspectral imaging in the visible and near-infrared ranges initially seemed promising. Unfortunately, the black redaction ink absorbed almost all light in the visible range, and in the NIR range, the two inks were rendered largely transparent. They were too similar to draw any conclusive results. Pottier and his collaborators got the best results with X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy in a microscanning mode
Does anyone know what are the other use cases for these techniques? The article is very interesting! Thanks for sharing
