Why the need for incentives? A lot of these electric implements are so awesome they need no incentives. Electric leaf blowers don't have the same top-end power as gas, but are so much more useful that you use them in unexpected places

Discover has something like 150-200 different card designs that people can choose from, and they let you change them out almost as often as you want. You can even have more than one active at a time - perhaps keep one for your professional

Ok, I will assume that the speed of the duck is accurate because the machine has been properly calibrated. What if there just happened to also be a slow car in the photo? How do you prove that the reported speed is that of the duck and not

More importantly, what would have happened if a car (that was not speeding) just happened to be visible in the photo? I’ve never received an automated speeding violation, but have received turn-on-red ones before. In those cases, the viola

I read the whole thing. TLDR: the court is saying that the government needs to stop fucking around. The Supreme Court says that these folks get time to challenge their removal, and therefore the government must give them a reasonable amoun

Eh, it seems like there is a good chance they put their thumb on the scale for the publicity of Ewing in New York. But the Knicks were still a last place team with him, and all the attention for the next 5 years was in Boston, Los Angeles,

Indeed, it’s fun to imagine a world in which the $1,000,000 AirBNB property you buy is 80% structure and 20% short-lived assets for depreciation purposes. The land is free! And only $40,000 per year in mortgage interest, property taxes, et

TSLA is in the S&P 500, which guarantees a certain level of demand. It has met all the criteria for removal (there are 20-30 changes every year, even profitable companies get removed) but obviously won’t be until Musk angers Trump enoug

At that time, the Straits of Magellan were “controlled” by Spain and it would have been extremely difficult to sail through undetected. Plus, it’s like sailing through a maze where if you touch the wall you die. You really should have some

Sounds like it is going to result in much higher minimum salaries required to entice “key” people to move to Florida. For all businesses, not just Citadel.

To be clear: I’m not Tim Cook, I don’t work at Apple, and I’ll play no role in any decision that is made. I also have no inside information. It’s hard to believe that the annual developer fee plus the revenue from the small minority of de

It’s fairly easy to read and understand. I’m not sure how well it would work, but people with more relevant experience could offer better analysis. https://www.cotton.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/chips.pdf

It was a chain of their own decisions that got them here. But yes, it is hard to imagine a way for the App Store to exist in its current form if the ruling stands. If you can use an outside payment provider taking a 3-5% cut, nobody is goi

There isn’t much publicly-available information with hard numbers (probably on purpose), but it appears that you need a huge amount of unrealized gains for buy-borrow-die to make sense. This implies that it is a very expensive scheme to ru

This way of thinking is how we end up with a ton of spending and not a ton of results. I strongly suspect that Mississippi should be allocating more resources to education. But this is a political problem and the schools have nearly no say

If all the free-to-download apps move to 3rd party payment providers to reduce the 15/30% fee that Apple collects, I wonder how Apple responds. It pretty much blows a hole in the business model. Will developers have to pay a per-GB ch

It’s a dumb move. For starters, there was virtually zero chance California would have followed through with it. And then you have the fact that if California really wanted to get rid of ICE cars, there are plenty of other things they can d
