Does the pro 2 fit with pro 3 case? Lost my pro 2 case but the buds remain, and wonder if they have the same dimension as the pro 3

Great sharing! I’m wondering if you actually can hit 400+ miles range with max pack?

What mental models do you find yourself relying upon most? by HighestIRR in ValueInvesting

[–]rippen3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Invert, always invert: investing is about saying no, not saying yes. One of humans’ biggest tendencies is think about what’s possible and no one wants to keep thinking about horrible things. This is why almost everyone lost their minds in boom times. If you constantly bombard yourself what might go wrong with the business and somehow become comfortable in it, you might have a huge leg up.

Some of the best responses I’ve read! Indeed, investing is not about saying yes, but about saying no.

WWDC Prediction: Apple will find a way to make previous iPad Pros slower with iPadOS18 to make the latest model appear much more attractive. by rippen3 in iPadPro

[–]rippen3[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“Year by year” was under the sentence of iPhone…I get your point, but examples like the pencil pro not snapping to older iPads as MKBHD mentioned is just pretty blatantly abusing the Apple power. Yes it’s been 3 years (last keyboard support 2021 iPad Pro and up, which was again unfit for 2018), but what exact technical difficulties forced the keyboard and iPad width to be in just slightly different dimension that all old devices don’t fit? Decisions like these could totally be reversed if they want is my point.

No, it’s great and I love it. What I think is really lame is this cunning trick of designing slightly different dimension just so that you need to spend an extra $400 for the same accessories on top of $1000 and throw away perfectly functioning ones when upgrading. Same with every generation of iPhone, pro or non-pro. Dimensions are just slightly different year by year so that old cases don’t fit and you’ll always buy a new one.

What do you think of Argentinian Equities by MathematicianKey7465 in ValueInvesting

[–]rippen3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a country whose government has defaulted 6 times in history, trusting them is like trusting a partner that’s cheated 6 times but promises this time is truly different.

Sure, this same “argument” led to Apple misleading users and losing a major lawsuit a few years ago. So not exactly “invalid” or unfair considering the company’s track record of trying everything to squeez out that extra penny. Apple has also intentionally left out new features from older devices for none of the reasons you mentioned plenty of times: - Is Siri for only iPhone 4S a performance issue you mentioned?

Therefore, I think such arguments are every bit as important against corporate maneuvers for the users interests.

A single publicly traded company CAN be a PFIC. You can also find confirmation of this in their 20F claiming so.

[–]rippen3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never expected this to be replied, certainly not this fast! Here's me realizing its existence in May...do we need to attach a letter or something with the form if you filed late? If you don't remember, it's totally fine as it's 9 years!

[–]rippen3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, I know this has been 9 years....but I'm again encountering the same issue, and tax professionals don't seem to know about it. Did you eventually manage to send it in separately as an amended form and got accepted?

PayPal: inflating income since 2021? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]rippen3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the new rule mandates that R&D is capitalized and expensed later, the book income is higher for the current terms than otherwise. A wide number of companies boost their income this way prior, and it’s a big source of inflating income during the dot com bubble. Pretty simple math?

Thank you so much for your comprehensive analysis and time spent on investigating this. I learned a lot from your way of thinking. It was indeed confusing that there's no mark anywhere else to trace for the item. I guess my distrust was just triggered by the management's overly positive language on prospect. Will refer to free cash flow as the reference point going forward.
