Lots of infosec and cybersecurity professionals go. I assume they make up the largest group of attendees.


Apple Pay and app store/itunes payments are completely separate. I had apple pay set-up for awhile and when I went to purchase an app, itunes wouldn't accept apple pay and I had to re-enter all my CC information into itunes.


Oracle has had linear regression for well over a decade now.


He doesn't want to admit they company will need to raise money later this year.


He actually addressed capital raise on the call and it was pretty clear when he kept saying that they wouldn't need or want a capital raise

Yes, his forward looking statement was clear, just as Tesla's repeatedly-missed production projections have been clear.

OTOH, when your statements about the future keep turning out to be wrong, it's not surprising that people want more than your conclusions but also want supporting evidence that those conclusions are grounded in reality.


Yes, but that is the sort of "boring" detail that he routinely lies about (as are ramp-up schedules, delivery amounts, revenues and that sort of boorish stuff only Wall Street nerds care about)


Yes, but when institutional investors pointed out holes in his explanation about how you could go from burning 1B a quarter with 3B on hand and not need a capital raise, they got "boring" and "next."


And I'm sure you will provide ample evidence of this "vote rigging."


I don't know what you broadly or narrowly classify as "vote rigging", but apparently Elizabeth Warren said the race was rigged [1], and another article [2] explains some of what happened, which "was not a criminal act, but as I saw it, it compromised the party’s integrity".

My understanding is Hillary's nomination came about because she had many of the delegates that don't represent voters, whereas Bernie Sanders had the majority of the votes from those who do represent voters. So, the nomination of Hillary over Sanders was not democratic.


> My understanding is Hillary's nomination came about because she had many of the delegates that don't represent voters, whereas Bernie Sanders had the majority of the votes from those who do represent voters.

This is incorrect. Clinton had a majority of the pledged (primary/caucus-determined) delegates, though not an absolute majority of all delegates based on super delegates alone.

The early huge advantage in unpledged “superdelegates” played a role in media coverage and the perception of inevitability, and no doubt helped her win, but she got more of the delegates selected by voters than Sanders did.


She also had the financial fate of the DNC in her hands, and, as early as 2015, had a secret agreement giving her power of the party's finances, strategy, and all the money raised. Additionally, as per Donna Brazile: "Her campaign had the right of refusal of who would be the party communications director, and it would make final decisions on all the other staff."

This is the rigging that took place.


Are you being sarcastic, or are you not familiar with the leaked DNC e-mails where they discuss this?


Of course, ironically, the hack and leak of the DNC emails was part of the effort to "rig" the election for Trump.


What's sad is that you believe this, without any actual evidence, based on pure speculation and rumor.


Have you followed the news at all? This is not even up for debate.

The DNC was hacked and the emails released to hurt Hillary Clinton and to aid the Trump campaign. It is not yet known if the Trump campaign was involved, but it is a fact that the emails were released to aid his campaign. Here are some links:

Guccifer 2.0 is the hacker involved in the DNC emails.

why don't you read the commentary by Wikileaks itself on why these emails were leaked: https://theintercept.com/2018/02/14/julian-assange-wikileaks...


I'm not saying I disagree with you, but what the purpose was is irrelevant for what the content shows.


Tesla was founded in 2003 and they aren't close to mass production yet.


> they aren't close to mass production yet.

What's your definition of mass production?


The economist agrees with you.

"Imagine if advertising spending really did rise to 1.8% of GDP in America by 2027. Most firms’ costs would have to rise, cutting total corporate profits (excluding those of ad platforms) from about 6.5% to 5.7% of GDP, the kind of drop normally associated with a recession. Alternatively, imagine if the firms in the S&P 500 index (excluding ad platforms) bore all the additional cost of the advertising boom. Their combined return on capital would drop from the present 10% to 8%, at or just below their cost of capital. America Inc would go from being the world’s greatest profit machine to flirting with Japanese-style financial-zombie status"


It also says this though:

American advertising revenues will rise from 1% of GDP today, to as much as 1.8% of GDP by 2027—a massive jump. Since 1980 the average has been 1.3%

So here we are at 1%.. and the historical average is 1.3%... Can you be in a bubble, if it's currently below the historical average?

If anything, I would say this is evidence that we are NOT in a bubble.

The rest of that article is just speculation, based on growth that we may or may not see.


It's also a security nightmare unless you are trained network engineer who can configure the thing properly.


If that is your experience then thair guided setup has improved a lot over the years, besides configuring VLANs later because I have a few talkative devices on the network and I don't want crosstalk I didn't had to do anything other than to run their setup.

It configured the WAN interface, created the switch interface with the number of LAN ports I wanted, forced me to change the password, suggested that I should change the default username which removes the ubnt default username system completely, asked on which interfaces I wanted to turn UPNP on and enabled the firewall by default.


So have they been lying to investors?


Note that's not a legal requirement. That's just a policy many companies have to lower the risk of insider trading.
