1/ It appears that #HarryandMeghan are forgoing their income from the Sovereign Grant, but will continue to receive income from the Duchy of Cornwall. Although Charles holds the Duchy personally - the phrase "financial independence from the monarchy" is doing a lot of work here.
2/ As #HarryandMeghan say here - sussexroyal.com/funding/ the funding from the Sovereign Grant only covered 5% of the costs of their office, the rest comes from the Duchy of Cornwall.
3/ It appears that they are forgoing that 5% to obtain greater freedom to operate as they please and to control more tightly how they work with the media, probably to use social media more, and perhaps more initiatives such as the Duchess's Vogue edition sussexroyal.com/media/

I’m puzzled how CNN managed to put a story together without checking in with anyone who knew anything about the subject matter, or even the general field of the subject matter. Or doing any fact-checking. Even on the headline. cnn.com/2019/11/27/tec…
Ok, let's tackle this, as an exercise in public education.

First, the headline: A private equity firm is NOT buying all the .org domains. It's buying PIR, the organization to which the .org _top level_ domain is currently delegated. It will not own .org, nor its subdomains.
No, this move will not "shake up the Internet." There are 1,517 top-level domains, and .org is just one of them. Only a small portion (about 10 million) of the world's second-level domains are in .org. It's less than two-thirds the size of .de, the German TLD, for instance.

Our democracy's in trouble, but there *are* ways to make it work much better. An upcoming 3-day structured national town meeting—"America in One Room"—is a key example. But two others can help amplify its benefits. 1/17
salon.com/2019/09/08/dem…
"America in One Room” will bring together a representative sample of > 500 registered voters to engage in a process known as “deliberative polling” focused on five big issues: health care, immigration, the environment, the economy and foreign policy:

The idea of representative mini-publics dates back at least to Athenian democracy, but "deliberative polling," developed by Stanford's James Fishkin has specific strengths & has been used 108 times in 28 countries. 3/17

1. Today, the head of the Air Force's acquisition said consolidation in defense contractors is so extreme it's a national security concern. There is just no longer much competition. reuters.com/article/us-usa…
2. Meanwhile, the WSJ reported that national security officials under the Obama administration accidentally allowed chipmaker AMD to move 'crown jewel' technology to the increasingly totalitarian Chinese government. wsj.com/articles/u-s-t…
3. What is happening now is the result of a breakdown of public control of our defense industrial base, and more broadly, our manufacturing base. I interviewed a several small manufacturers to find out what happened. It's not pretty. theamericanconservative.com/articles/ameri…

1| Tweetstorm on the most important (and difficult) investment rule to follow.

To start, a question for you to ponder:

What is the most important piece of information when it comes to buying a stock?
2| Do you think it is management? Growth prospects? Profitability?

No, no, and no.

The most important piece of information when buying a stock (or any asset) is — the price you pay.
3| That’s right. Even with bad management, terrible growth, and bad profitability, there exists some price, possibly a negative price (I pay you), at which every asset would be a good investment.

All the other aspects of an investment will fail you if you pay the wrong price.
