in the fantasy series "a song of ice and fire", series protagonist eddard stark says that the man who passes the sentence should be the one who swings the sword (though obviously we dont use swords nowadays, LOL). i think thats an insanely poetic and fair way to kill another human being, and im not sure why these backwards southern states dont follow this ideal.

"we can't come up with a name for our bleeding-edge brand-new social media company so we'll take the name of a decades-old company that failed."

brilliant. way to convince your base that you're fresh, new and successful, than to license the name of an old, failed company

Damn that's a
fine elephant.

Bubble status: bubble as gently caress

Pitching to investors: duplicate device with less capability (smartphone), single purpose form, replicating the service of an entrenched competitor (Instagram), leaning on features which require market saturation such that two device havers cross each other on the street.

Where else except a bubble would these people not be thrown the gently caress out of the office for wasting your time.

by NFC he was mainly referring to apple pay and other tokenized solutions, he specifically called out Google wallet and PayPal as failures

some people seemed disappointed when he explained why android can't have an easy equivalent to apple pay
