You have to be a sleuth to identify the influential estimates affecting earnings."

Excerpt from The Atlantic -- "[Sundararajan] thinks it’s likely that eventually there will be a few major apps people will use to get around and that will stitch together different modes of transportation, such as cars, trains, scooters, and walking.

Excerpt from The CEO Magazine -- "So I would say, on the one hand, I haven’t been very surprised. I have been a little bit sad, mostly because I worry that people’s perception of Musk as a person will get in the way of him getting support for the kind of work he wants to do. Fundamentally, he wants to work on things that help humanity and help the Earth. He is really, really committed to that cause.”

Excerpt from WirtschaftsWoche -- (translated from German using Google Translate) "Radical representatives of the free market therefore fundamentally question whether patents actually promote innovation rather than inhibiting it - especially if they have long durations. In addition, it is primarily large companies that use patents to protect themselves from (new) competition. As a result, knowledge spreads less quickly. American economic historian Petra Moser has shown in a comparison of historical trade fair catalogs and patent statistics that countries without patent law, such as Switzerland and Denmark, produced proportionally more inventions at the end of the 19th century than states with patent protection."

Excerpt from Vox -- "'The importance of a brand that engages with community is particularly important to the younger demographic that West Elm targets,' she says.
