Yeah, but we’ve had countless examples of loss-making tech companies with sky-high valuations. Amazon didn’t make a profit for something like 20 years. Investors of course want returns, but they can differ on the timeframe they’re willing to wait for them.
Yes. Saying “at least half of Ireland” made it sound like you thought Ireland was divided in its religious affiliations. It would make sense if you were talking about Northern Ireland, which has faced more than a century of bitter sectarian division, but Ireland is solidly Catholic.
Are you thinking of Northern Ireland (part of the UK)? Ireland is more than two-thirds Catholic.
Did you read the article? It looks at voting data.
It seems like Vision Pro allows selective focusing.
To further clarify: These figures are entirely based on estimates. They’re not “more visible” because of the abortion bans (the statistics used to make the estimates are based on pre-ban crime figures and an assumption about the percentage of rapes that result in pregnancy).
I’m not saying this to criticise the study, but it’s important to understand what the numbers represent.
Are you going to jailbreak roadside assistance?
Is there a reason you don’t just get a joint bank account (or credit card)? Put equal amounts in each month and use that for all shared expenses. Zero effort, totally fair.
It’s true that a lot of data isn’t sold, but a large chunk of the figure you quote also seems to include business data — stuff that contains zero personal information but is still hugely valuable to companies and investors (look at how much this report costs, for example, or consider that a Bloomberg terminal costs around $25k/yr).
And remember, those investment buyers make up a big chunk of the consumer data market too and are only interested in aggregated insights to inform trading strategies. They don’t care about personal info or targeted ads.
There are lots of things that can go wrong with film.
What does that ~70% refer to? Japan is about 5% of Apple’s global revenue and iOS is installed on around 50% of Japanese phones.
You got some of the words right.
It’s not being sold off. It’s an investment. Raspberry Pi has suffered from supply shortages that could be mitigated by entering into a partnership with Arm — and which would help further its charitable goals. Sales were down by more than a quarter in 2022 due to shortages.
And Arm isn’t the only minority shareholder. Sony, which manufactures its boards in Wales, also owns a stake.
These aren’t unusual commercial decisions to secure manufacturing and supply, and therefore maximise the dividend it pays to the foundation, while retaining majority control.
Some whales have menopause too I think.
27 Harley Street is now an ear, nose and throat specialist with a reputation for treating people who can’t burp.
How is it being used against you?
Are they alleging that Mastercard sells data with personally identifiable information? Because if not, what’s the big deal? The people that buy this data want to know about trends.
I assume this is an evidence-based argument and you can share the research proving this?
Your data isn’t just being sold to advertisers. There are all kinds of companies that are willing to pay big bucks to get near real-time insights into consumer behaviour, prices, manufacturing and anything else that can be tracked somehow.
Edit: And there’s a near 0% chance that you’re not part of a dataset that’s being sold to someone, somewhere…
It’s the same in many fields. Trainees learn by doing the easy, repetitive work that can now be automated.
