I think there should be an immediate opt-out of this - if you own your own LLC, S-Corp, etc, then it should be explicit under the law that any work you do using that entity is a contractor to any other entity.

Honestly, this part I don't understand. Somewhere over that couple days I read that you can farm on an HD, but plotting is faster on an SSD, so I'm making a huge presumption that plotting on a ramdisk would be even faster, without

I’m not the OP, but the rest of the paragraph that the quote above was linked to reads as follows (note the last 3 words in the quote): * This rate could translate into a significant proportion of false-positive results daily due to the cur

Honest question - why do you have to climb this mountain? I’m genuinely curious, because to me that’s the equivalent of telling Ford that you want a Ferrari engine in your mustang. Maybe if someone could help me understand this I would be

Thinking about it, for someone who is looking to be seriously into chia, that might make sense. The cost of the RAM is only about $1,500. Might be a smart idea. Has anyone tried this? Would be interesting to see the benefits.

Fascinating article, and great to see a problem solver at work. However, I question humanity’s sanity when we declare a winner in a 216.75km long race by someone who (possibly) won by 0.016 seconds (and poorly declared either way from the a

> that money is not value. Very much so! Money is a tool used for accounting, while value is a system for perception. They interact, but as you say, are not the same.

To recast this in accounting terms, everyone had $100 in accounts receivable and also had $100 in accounts payable . To anybody who has ever had accounting (and nightmares of t-accounts), this balances to zero.

No, but nobody else had posted at the time, and frankly, I didn't know what would happen, so I shared. Maybe there was supposed to be content - I didn't know.

This is a nice list of things that are actually useful and surprisingly straightforward to do. Considering how many people (myself included) consider CSS a veritable minefield, I love seeing examples like this.

The NCAA is an illegal monopoly if I ever saw one. The northwestern group was as close as I’ve seen to a real challenge, but nobody has had the guts to go the distance in a lawsuit. I wish someone would - the result would be enlightening.

If you consider #3 and don’t limit it to only debt-driven buybacks, then the price increase can be absolutely insane. The best example is Berkshire Hathaway stock (BRK A share) which currently trades at $402,620 per share.
