This is a really good point. I don't think this is necessarily a bad acquisition at all. Onavo is basically Facebooks eye of sauron:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onavo

TBH has been in the top 10 free apps for a few weeks now. FB has a good track record of buying small teams with good engagement numbers and letting them run themselves (Whatsapp/Instagram).

I'm sure Facebook looked at their numbers via Onavo and
decided they were on a pretty good trajectory.

Also, it should be noted that TBH doesn't even have an Android app yet.

The question now is will TBH turn out to be more of a draw with friends (flash in the pan game) or have staying power like Bitmoji does.

Bitmoji was purchased by Snap Inc for around 100 million about a year ago. It has managed to consistently stay in the top 10 free apps since then:

It's not more than enough for a person without dependents to live comfortably.

it's enough that you won't starve to death.
Well you math is not very accurate when it comes to fees. So even without college. A car would cost 8k, rent would be around 6k, health care would be 2.4k, food at 250 a month is 2.7k. That alone is 20k. This doesn't include entertainment expenses let alone emergency like actually getting sick.
I think your example scenario would have benefited from some qualification as you paint the sentiment around the decision to put a stock up for sale in a somewhat negative light when in fact there can be several factors at play.

> The person who sold the shares had deemed the stock a not-so-good investment compared to other options and wished to liquidate.

That's one possible explanation for the decision to sell. The person could also be motivated to sell (a portion) because the current price would lead to a modest return on the initial investment; or perhaps the person suddenly needs cash and decided that a stock (from among several positions) would yield a certain amount of liquidity, ROI considerations will generally not factor into distress sale decisions.
If I got this correctly, when you sell your shares with high voting power, they lose their high voting power.

I didn't get into tax treatment because I don't know Swiss tax rules. In the U.S., you pay the same capital gains on both a stock sale and house sale (and a personal residence sale may have the tax waived). You also get favorable tax treatment on a home, for instance, the mortgage interest tax deduction.
If you buy a rental house, that is a tax deduction bonanza! Nearly everything is deductible. It's true the house depreciates. For a rental house, this depreciation is tax deductible. However, no real write-offs for a stock sale.

In the U.S., there will be gains on real estate since the average real property appreciation rate is 5-10%, about the same for stocks. But, you must look at cash on cash. I buy a $500k house for $100k cash. You must calculate the stock return on the $100k. However, you calculate appreciation for real estate on the total value of the land and house.

tldr: 5x appreciation on house vs. stock, with tax write-offs and no rent.
I had all of that for 30k a year, 20 minutes from a major population center. I wasn't paying back college loans (yet), but you can only do so much on 30k. It's a lot, though...

A benefit of "normal" interview process is that you chase multiple opportunities and your prep time will compound for better results.

Because freedom has failed them. Or, at least, "freedom" as defined implicitly by the author to mean "only a specifically enumerated list of negative freedoms that primarily benefit the wealthy" and "the ability to cast a vote which fundamentally does not matter" -- remember the adage "if voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal".

Millenials don't feel particularly free to speak when they live in permanent debt, begging the wealthy to gift them with an unpaid internship and praying they don't get sick. When they do speak, their voices are drowned out by billions of dollars in propaganda campaigns. Yet they are told "this is freedom" and you're surprised they value it less?

If you asked them whether they want "freedom" of course they would say yes. But it's ridiculous to say a homeless person is "free" because the cops don't arrest and harass him for speaking his mind. It's ridiculous to say a millenial is "free" when those of them lucky enough to get jobs have to toe the line and obey every command from their employer, watching what they say on social media, accepting the most egregious reaches of corporate power into their personal lives so that they have a prayer at one day paying back their insurmountable debts.

Millenials, unlike the generation before them, recognize that material conditions are of fundamental importance and that any notion of "freedom" that ignores them is not worth much. The "freedom" to buy a news organization or bribe a politician with infinite dark money is just enshrining corporate power. The "freedom" to buy healthcare is meaningless without the means to also afford it. Millenials see through the very shallow veneer of whines about "freedom" that do nothing but obscure blatant attempts to preserve current power structures.

Consider tech contracts: companies write contracts so that they own what you think in your off time. They write contracts so that if you decide to quit, you cannot legally work for years. That is not freedom, it is the opposite. Yet the libertarian screed is "well, in the abstract, you have the freedom to make that contract or not as you see fit"; what consolation to those who need a job to pay rent or buy food.

This attitude shift is mostly definitional semantics and is just a natural result of decades of libertarian/conservative weasel-wording around "freedom" so that it is a meaningless platitude that expresses nothing more than "a principle which benefits those with means".
There's essentially no range of motion in a MBP keyboard anymore: there is no difference between not pressing the key, actuating the key, and bottoming out the key. Some people (such as yourself) seem to prefer it, but to me it feels much rougher than comparable keyboards, like typing on a hard plastic surface. There is no give or play in the keystroke. Compared to a Lenovo T460p's keyboard (the other machine I own), the Lenovo is a lot "softer" to type on. (And quieter, too.) Mostly, I dislike the feel.

Now, my wrists also hurt. Now, when I'm not travelling, I was using an external Apple keyboard, not the MBP's primarily, so I'm hesitant to blame the MBP's keyboard directly. The external Apple keyboard has a greater keystroke distance from start to bottoming out, but still has like zero distance between actuation and bottoming out. (For some keystrokes, particularly ^+Tab and ^+Shift+Tab, I find it hard to keep control actuated, despite it being fully depressed; it just seems to require a lot of pressure to keep things in electrical contact). The pain in my wrists didn't start until I started using Apple keyboards, and has mostly stopped since I've replaced them. (I now primarily use an ErgoDox EZ, primarily for the split/ability to independently position my hands. I had tried, and had similar success w/ a Kinesis Freestyle, but I didn't own it.)

(I used a MBP keyboard for ~4yrs, with an ergo keyboard of some kind for when I'm not travelling for ~half of that. I've used Thinkpad's of varying models for ~10 years. Now, I could just be getting old, but replacing the Apple keyboard is what made the difference thus far for me. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me, admittedly: my wrists are, I feel, in the same bad position on the Lenovo as they are on the MBP/Apple keyboard.)
Measuring using sound should be more precise. Even a bad mic has orders of magnitude more time resolution than a 240fps camera.

> - Freedom and democracy are different things, if some people think democracy isn't that important, it does not mean they do not value freedom.

e.g. Switzerland's infamous vote to ban minarets[1]. A lot of European countries seem to have a problem with religious freedom, despite being very democratic. Contrast with the undemocratic Singapore where people of different religions coexist relatively harmoniously.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_minaret_referendum,_2009
Various collapsed democracies can testament that defining away the free part of free speech to be a path to authoritarianism, and the first step towards collapse is punishing opinions that disagrees with dogma (e.g Venezuela). In the end it leads to a less efficient country driven by dogma instead of progress.

I think this line of thinking stems from the belief that democracy is the default state, and that it can withstand suppressing voices that disagrees with the dogma someone fights for.

And yet, we've had libel and slander laws forever. The government has never not regulated bullshitting, all serious debate is over the precise boundaries, not whether it should be done.

Maybe Millenials are just more honest about it, and decline to label regulation that does only what they are happy with as “Free Speech”.
That leaves you 700 bucks a month not including the 15% taxes. Once issue and you'd be living month to month as soon as anything actually happened.
I find my typing accuracy is affected by keyboard latency.

An interesting way to test this would be to use a sensor to note how the point where a key was definitely "headed down" (say > 10% of its total travel) and then waiting for the message to show up.

In older keyboards the main CPU was doing some of the debouncing so it knew "right away" that a keyboard was pressed. That cuts down on latency as well.

Another test case might be to put a USB -> PS/2 adapter on the keyboard. This lets the onboard CPU know to send the keycode as soon as it has decoded and debounced it.
"And as author admits fiat is terrible as "store of value" - so with this combination - fiat pegs in blockchain for accounting and native crypto as store of value (keep bitcoin for your grandchildern instead of dolar that looses 95% value over century), it might be the best combination of both worlds."

Why do you want a long-term "store of value"?

Or, buy your grandchildren gold; it's had a much longer track record as a store of value and is prettier to look at while it is value-storing.

I disagree with your first thought. I'll say this as someone who is unabashedly a fan of democracy. I love democracy (I would call myself a "democrat" except for the connotation with the American party). I think devaluing democracy exhibits a profound devaluation of freedom.

Democracy is more than just casting a vote. Many non-democracies have elections. Democracies are an elegant and fragile relationship between civic will and laws.

The outcome of a desire for freedom is democracy. You don't start with democracy or install it, people create it and protect it with laws that protect personal freedoms. Most countries with alternate political systems have citizens with less freedoms and rule by law rather than rule of law: you end up with legalism, like in China.

If people feel that democracy is failing them than I would suggest that that exemplifies a shift in profound ideas about freedom that leads to democracy.

From the perspective of a relatively functioning democracy, all other political systems should look worse, should look less free.

What’s New in Kotlin 1.2 – 8 Added Features and Changes
> For a proper debunking, you need to address the fact that it's usually pretty easy to wring cash out of a business, but you can only do it once.

I don't think that's the primary point, because the CEO should have an incentive to profit from multiplying the future value of that cash, not simply "wring it out" and get a short-term bonus. I meant to lump in "wringing" with all other perverse-incentives for management that a short-term incentive structure creates.

> That's why longer term investments are preferable.

In the same sense that it's better for an employee to receive a single paycheck for the entire year on day 1 of employment. That is not necessarily realistic. If investments were not reversible there would be a lot less of them, just as there would be fewer hires if the entire salary had to be paid on day 1.

> It puts the focus on building sustainable value for its owners rather than balance sheet gymnastics.

Building sustainable value? There are a lot of assumptions baked into that idea. One person's sustainable is another person's "safe" course of action and another person's definition of greed. Suppose someone is starting a restaurant and expects it to be profitable starting in year 10. Most people would consider that foolhardy. Is it? Not necessarily, it depends on how profitable it will be. Notably firms like McDonalds were profitable fairly rapidly but grew in scale significantly over time. Where did the tradeoff between sustainability and short-term greed occur? Arguably early investors were not greedy enough, since the firm had to resort to franchising to fundraise.

> You're also mistaking the role of stock exchanges, which are secondary markets.

I am not sure how the Long-Term Stock Exchange will work, but my point is that simply restricting the behavior of firms that join the exchange will not necessarily change the behavior of that firm's employees, except to the extent that investors/owners are able to create long-term incentives.
> This is just a different form.

At scale. Significantly different. Societal fabric has enough problems without adding to it.
Some marketing in the form of a blog post [0] talking about the first week of sales.

Then you'd just create an incentive to sell the share in dark markets. You'd officially still be the owner of the share, but in secret you would have sold your voting right by agreeing with someone to vote on command in exchange for money.

As is said in the 1981 movie "rollover", capitalism is like a force of nature : you can try to fight it, but in the end it always win[1]

And even if somehow you succeed, you would have created capital that can not be bought nor sold, or can only be bought and sold from and to a particular category of investors. You would have introduced a bit of communism in the system (in the sense that in communism, buying or selling capital is forbidden). I guess some people will be happy about that, but I won't.

Only to the extent that all stocks, bonds, and investments (in a sense) compete against each other. Thus, selling means that the owner decided that one of the competitors was a better fit. Of course, as you point out, it could just be due to some unrelated cash flow issue.
