Except expanding the business itself is a perfectly valid way to use the business' profits. Amazon used 100% legal accounting measures.

Meh, if you don't like FTP and loot boxes avoid those games. There's lots of good more traditional titles out there, indie games, MMOs, and yes FTP games. Choice is better than ever.

It can be. But you shouldn't expect it to be if you don't offer support, a product, etc... Lots of these recent threads are basically people who just release something into the wild, put no effort into monetizing and then wo

Went to university, also became a waiter in a restaurant at the same time (to pay for it). And as the top comment says, practice practice practice. Just doing it and realizing the worst that happens is maybe someone is slightly disinterest

Are you developing OSS or ransomware? If you want to make money from your software, make it closed source and SELL IT. The whole point of OSS is: You have an itch -> scratch it -> release it -> others maybe use it, maybe don't

Maybe but there's definitely a difference in the amount of water content left when cooked say, MR vs MW (and final weight would reinforce that as well). And I find fattier cuts are perceived to be more 'juicy' as well.

Isn't NPM all malware anyway? /s Seriously though, adding malware to OSS code harms trust. I'm down with messages or comments in support of X cause though.

Jackson, WY. Bellingham, WA. Breckenridge, CO. Of course you have to like skiing. But those would be my lifestyle picks that kind of align (ish) with your criteria.

Pro chefs aren't the ones to ask here. It's a craft you learn through repetition and doesn't necessarily require much scientific knowledge. It's like the idea that you sear a piece of meat to 'seal in juices'.

Just go to the thread on HN discussing their Nobel Prize. They're most known for their study on Cuban migrants to Miami, where many migrants came and wages didn't fall. Many, many economists cite this study to say that immigratio

IMO Card/Krueger's results are flawed for a different reason. They rely too much on real world results meaning that if all the other factors don't stay the same, their conclusions will eventually fail too. For example, they

Nah, economics is extremely useful. I've put many economic principles to good use in business and life. The problem is when people try to reduce problems to a single model. It's fine when you're learning in the first coupl

I do have a classical education in economics. And yes, you're right, in a vacuum raising the minimum wage would reduce demand for labour. But we don't live in a vacuum and there's a lot of other factors at play. > You cou

Police arrest child abusers and traffickers all the time... But as long as there's demand for CP people will create it (like many illecit activities), hence trying to reduce the demand (through making consequences for possessing it).

Why would anyone do free work for MS? Or use Edge on Linux? Sounds like the author just wants a job at MS.
