Vice is owned by News Corp, which also brings us Fox News. To me, it looks like a generational hedge against declining cable viewership by a company that is very much opposed to what Vice supposedly represents. Also, I've met a ton of

Venmo ... Oh that's PayPal too. I'm not a fan, but maybe Bitcoin? What about mailed checks, as a backup?

With cities? Walkability, huge public transit networks in LA, KC and others, middle class Black neighborhoods, mixed use zoning ... We lost a lot. With religion, we're losing rituals where people come together frequently to celebrate l

A think a lot of it is the stereotype that religious people tend to be "dumb people in flyover country" or that they're all right wing or one of a million things. It honestly looks more like ingroup signaling to me than an ho

Oh I didn't mean that at all! More that: a. Even if you don't believe, don't look down your nose by default at believers b. I agree - something people should strive for c. The kneejerk reactions (you can see some of them in t

I agree. Look at religion in China - despite being incredibly secular during the Communist period, religion is starting to return despite a good deal of government resistance.

I see this opinion a lot, and it bothers me. The idea that Intelligence + Education == Secularism 100% of the time is kind of sad, because there is so much to be gained from reading religious texts and religious philosophy. I guess it'

Can you cite that? I thought that the PATH ran on the local tracks of the IND 6th Avenue tubes for most of it's Manhattan haul. I believe you are correct about the tracks through the cross river tubes, but less traffic makes it easier

I agree with your notes but not your conclusion - wouldn't these people be way more screwed if they couldn't work from home at all? These aren't devs we're talking about, they likely don't have many options besides

Given how frequently this is said, I'm shocked that people still don't get it. The only way you know more than analysts is: A. be a full time analyst B. work at the company you're trading If you're on Robinhood, you&#x27

Are there any states where it's illegal to just walk out? I know you can in New York and all of the Midwest.

When I worked ftp (with accounting departments ironically), the advice was not to do that because the client often corrupted files.

That and the Shouting Fire thing are both directly harmful. Calling yourself an engineer, not a PE, without a a PE is not directly harmful, and the Constitution overrides state laws that claim otherwise. My money is on him in this one.

Can you cite a case? Hate speech etc has a long history of being court-supported.

Look, you're not wrong. But you have to remember that none of that matters, because I can put the following notice out, and any government prohibition of such is a big payday for me: "I, JB Reefer, am God, command you to stop driv

I don't think it's fair to assume that rechargeable batteries will ever have a higher usable energy density greater than Jet A.

Is this the first total collapse of a "unicorn" this time around? I can't think of any recent, high profile disintegrations of this order of magnitude.

It has a smaller metro population than Shenzen, LA, etc. It's a big city, but a small gigacity.

Remember the speaker when it comes to inequality - sometimes, it looks to me more about upper middle class/the professional class assuaging internal guilt than a movement from the lower class. I agree honest, a bunch of my friends from

I'm anti-homeowner bailout, but damn, you really think that people that disagree with you politically deserve all that? People, no matter their views, matter.

I agree with you in theory, but if I drive a car straight into the ocean, do I deserve a government bailout? If I land a helicopter in a marsh, and it is ruined, should I be bailed out? This is the same thing, but just much slower. Tons of

A few large companies are moving to it, but don't forget how long the corporate sales cycle is for this type of thing. We'll only know if it's a flop in 3-4 years.

You really shouldn't, mostly because cars that are pulling out of garages/lots/driveways don't expect you to be there, so they'll pull forward to get a view of where you should be - the street. That said, the missin

There are a ton of pedestrian only areas in NYC - Fulton Street, the Greenway, 33rd in the summer, etc. Most of them people don't realize used to be streets, like Diversity Plaza in JH. The full list is here (PDF warning): http:/

They'd probably need to conduct them in the regions where the "shotgun" part isn't a metaphor, like deep Appalachia or rural Missouri. I'm from Missouri and I promise, it's not always just a figure of speech.
