I understand hyperbole is a useful rhetorical device, but it's very hard for me to take anyone who uses it seriously or trust anything they say at all. And it really doesn't help develop trust when the citations used to support

I'm curious about these similar dressing recipes as I've found nothing similar enough to call them the same thing. I've seen plenty of anchovy/mustard/aioli dressings that one might call predecessors, but they lack

It was the best selling car. It no longer is[1]. And of course, Tesla isn't even in the top 10 for top selling brands of cars. Only about 1 in 50 new cars being sold is a Tesla. Their valuation is largely based on hype. [1] https:&#

Akitakomachi is grown in California. It's what Lundberg Sushi Rice is. Calrose is medium-grain, but Koshihikari itself is grown in California as is a short-grain hybrid with Calrose called Calhikari. Sasanishiki is also being grown.

Does the government have to appeal their losses to go to a higher court? Seems like all one would need is a case where the government won at a lower court, allowing the other party can appeal. And if they never win, then the issue is more

Odd. These services appear to be offering a ladungsfähige address where there is someone physically present to do things like receive legal correspondence. Are they simply lying? https://impressum-privatschutz.de/

I (investment) in the GDP includes changes in private inventory, not just spending on fixed assets, so the 100 nintendo switches should be in there. That's why in my example Q2 investment goes negative since inventories get depleted wh

The recourse is sometimes a lawsuit or criminal charges. If your app say, defrauds someone and steals money from their bank account, then you as the developer are liable. A refund of the app isn't going to cover it.

The company can be reached at a rented address. That's the whole point of them. There is an agent at the address that can receive things like legal correspondence. It appears Germany appears has similar services where you can get a vir

I'm not sure I understand. What process is changing? The "accounting trick" doesn't stop working. Let's try a very simple example of buying all our inventory in one quarter and selling it in another - what is suppos

I'm a bit confused about the bit about the "Imports expanded 37.9%, fastest since 2020, and pushed GDP down by nearly 4.7 percentage points" bit. Presumably when they calculated GDP previously, they hadn't seen quite as

It doesn't share your FileVault key if you already have FileVault enabled. Rather, if you install it on an unencrypted drive, it'll turn FileVault on and then save a backup of the key to iCloud. Not sure if this is just a beta iss

Amazon is packed full of fake reviews. They just catch some of the easily detectable ones that some authors use (everyone following the same link or links from the same site rating books universally high, for instance). They don't dete

Considering the companies that have been threatened or sued, it's far more than "big data."

Yes, we can create a hypothetical world where that is true, but that's not the world we live in. GDP is not just an abstract number. It's a measure of the value produced by the nation - value that people find, well, valuable. We d

It's the effects of a lower GDP that people tend to care about. And those effects are unpleasant and make the country more impractical to live in.

Will you be volunteering to fight in Iran next? And any wars that fall out of it from a country with twice the population of Iraq being destabilized?

Ahh, trying to bomb your way to regime change in the Middle East. This feels so familiar. What could possibly go wrong? If only those who advocated for war were forced to fight in them.

Well. Some guys with a tiny fraction of the funding Iran has managed to fly a few airliners into some buildings a few years back. So, I imagine there are perhaps unconventional options available to a country which is fully willing to fund t

As if conventional responses are the only way to retaliate. We are talking about Iran here. They're all about asymmetric warfare.
