Surely there are tribes that transcend and cross corporations. That's why you can hire old colleagues and get a team up and running in a startup or new firm
Hedge funds aren't married to the stocks they own. They'll buy and sell or even short depending on what the next short-term price move will be. As long as the price moves and they predicted it (possibly because they caused it), it's all good for them.
Even if he did hold more than a trivial amount of Alphabet, there's nothing to stop him from taking profits and selling out as soon as the price temporarily moved up (if it even would)
Tesla was a "forcing function" that caused other car manufacturers to build EVs. AI lawyer technology may be the catalyst needed to trigger reform of the legal system. It's clear that up until now there has been no reform forthcoming.
It would be better for the consumer printer segment to die off, and for the consumer to see the price of a proper printer that works correctly, and decide whether to buy that or use a print service.
Yeah, and then the fact that with one tech job, you're already in the top tax bracket, and anything extra you do is taxed at the maximum rate. Diminishing returns on effort...
> It's unfortunate that a quality education is a finite pie we have to divvy up into thin slices.
I think this belief is part of the problem. Information is infinitely replicable at zero cost, but we create barriers to its dissemination. If there are kids who are eager and able to learn material, they should have access to that it. And if they have mastered the material, they should be granted recognition of that objective fact. Any other policy means we are deliberately dumbing ourselves down.
On the other hand, perhaps we need to dissect what it is we mean by "education", because while access to information can be unlimited, the number of places at Harvard IS limited. Inasmuch as membership in an exclusive social club is limited, and inasmuch as the Harvard class is an exercise in social engineering, I can see wny one may want some representation for various groups.
In short, knowledge doesn't need to be a finite pie. It only appears to be so because some domains are gate-kept by limited admissions numbers in order to protect the supply of labour in those professions. The tech industry shows that when we don't have professional licensing, talent can find a way regardless of credentialism.
