Gold is nothing more than a bet against global currencies. Gold producers, on the other hand, one of their biggest expenses is fuel. Fuel is cheap and Gold is fairly high. Combining those two seems like a good investment for a time.

Someone has never been to a doctors office or the hospital in the US or has a very loose definition of rich.

That alone is not really that unusual.

Only if you don't consider the context. The local government lost nothing. If Amazon didn't get the tax breaks, they wouldn't be there and the local government would be poorer for it.

Yup, I read that. I'm sure that's just a journalist that can't tell the difference between a company receiving money from the government and a company not having to PAY the government. Why am I sure? Because journalist ar

Let's check back in two weeks to see if the predictions of full hospitals and proportional deaths actually happens.

IMO, any article that doesn't explain how to use redux with asynchronous side effects just confuses people on how to use redux. These mock examples aren't realistic enough to be compelling.

Effectiveness. Being efficient is only helpful if you are effective. If the room still smells like shit after all that shoveling, does it matter how fast you shoveled?

Let's say you have a room full of shit and your objective is to make the room smell nice. You decide the best way to do that is to shovel the shit out of the room. Efficiency is how fast you empty the room. Effectiveness is how nice th

Probably the bad combination of Xi and the coming of age for Chinese power.

This seems like a surprisingly bad idea. I would think the vendors' engineers would be able to identify the parts that qualify to be 3d printed, given how well the expected material characteristics match what the printer could produce.

This is a good visual representation of why Texans hope all the Californians moving there don't bring their political beliefs with them.

Agreed. The next reddit needs to state explicitly that only illegal content will be removed by site owners.

Right. These harmful memes are rotting the minds of young voters. We need to have Facebook eliminate them. Later when people send them via email, we'll need Google, Microsoft, and Apple make sure our email is vetted by their censors. T

I wonder if this has anything to do with drug re-importation laws. I wish someone would do something about it. Like an executive order or something.

I was hoping for a more interesting analysis of the question. It's an interesting question. But the author comes at the answer with the mind frame that money is evil. And then, his reasoning becomes more of an argument against capital

When 'friends' post on Facebook, they are putting their message on my feed. That's fine, that's the implicit agreement. Also part of that agreement, when I comment on their post. That's where most problems arise fo

Which crime has he admitted to specifically?

Yeah, he has no adversaries that would use this against him. No one stands up to Trump. I've never seen the news media and an opposition party roll over like this. /s

Depreciation. Full. Stop. Buy real estate investment properties, preferably with the land being a very small proportion of the value. Then the 27.5 year non-cash depreciation expense on the buildings will negate a good chunk of your net inc

It looks like you could add object pooling to this as well? I'm no game dev, but GC must be the bain of their existence.

Just like kids in cages, only under Trump would the US government have worked with a white supremacist like this.

Can anyone explain why 5x the energy yields only 16% greater range?

You would more likely need a new form of people. Coke is number one for a reason. Sure there is Pepsi, and yes there are small soda makers that either get acquired or close, but not too many people make their own soda. For the same reason,

I would think at this point we don't really need fighter jets. Wouldn't a vast number of cheap remote controlled/ai driven flying explosives be more useful?

You might want to check building codes. This would never fly in New England.

This isn't about privacy, this is about a cold war with China that has been going on for a while now.

I can't tell either, but I feel like I constantly see this type of message. Which is basically anti-capitalist, while using the economic freedom capitalism provides to create a "new" economic system. At least in this case, th
