He's made a point about monetizing it from the beginning, so one can assume that he's earned more than just the $20k: he's trying to show buyers that it earns money, and the best way to do that is to have it earn money.

Rather, they are obligated to maximise their shareholder's funds, which says nothing about any externality to that market...like, for example, whether producing open software will make their shareholders (and others) more wealthy. The only

To answer the question, while most nations are better off, and yes, trade is a positive sum, the geopolitical fact that China is a competitor with the US makes them an 'economic threat'. Rather, they're a political threat, and can wield any

In that very framed particular, no. But when its the aggregate of a great many videos, (some of which might be talking about bombs) and the aggregate of emails, emails with lagtimes do not involve the frustration and loss of value that vide

If the algorithm contains more pidgin holes, should it be judged based on the fact that it is still an algorithm, or should we actually consider whether it might be a better algorithm?

And are speeding down the road, secure in your knowledge that even though you cant see, if the road turned, there'd be large reflective warnings beforehand?

Not just make you less productive at work, but these roads are inherently roads where you drive more carefully (read slower). Driving slower means longer commutes, and can be correlated to the same economic problem as road congestion (read

Or, the future is the most competitive, up to date persons moving into a range of capability which allows them to marginally outcompete their less up to date peers, catching a faster acceleration. Their less up to date peers follow suit, bu

Everyone in the middle class is a king by the standards of the 1950s. I have, as a starving student, more wealth than any emperor of Rome. The assumption that we're not already upstream in the singularity is just bias of perspective

At the same time, the saying 'the more you know, the less you need' applies to the poor as well as the rich. those who can afford, for instance, a network connection, can easily find out how to build such things as mustard gas, thermite bom

Mal had to come back and see the top. Inception is about showing things to people in such a manner that they cannot link it back to you, that they feel it is their own. Cob claims that you don't affect the mind by murdering projections, so

Granted. But aside from the last decade, the article does claim that stocks win. (from 1930 to 1996). The recent decade is astoundingly bad...especially considering all the neat, new things we've gained..

I dug up information on the median household income, and the growth of the S&P500, since 1975. Built a spreadsheet based on 10% of the median household income, twenty percent being a huge, huge cut into the money a family could spend at

A diversified stock portfolio is betting on economic growth. The economy has grown consistently for the last six hundred years.

The argument is that stocks have been the best asset class investment in each decade for the last two hundred years, not that it takes two hundred years. I'm going to guess that you'll live for at least another decade, and tell you to go ri

That's the value of a balanced budget. The value of saving is compound interest, whether in money market or stock dividends, or a brilliant startup (what if the startup you pounce on fails or only breaks even?). Saving early means you start

The same attitude is effaced on HN about persons in liberal arts studies. A hacker was brilliant enough to see that the world was headed into computers, or their parents were, and they were led down the right path. People are bound to want

Acttualy, I think it means more what I mean by cash. Which is misleading, because I'm dealing in digital money, no cash involved, but rather than a credit agency, my own bank account, ergo debit transfers. The relationship, as far as I can

Payday loan firms charge up to 500% interest, too, which they're doing because they're not using the FICA scores. That said, there does seem to be a huge area in which one could undercut that market...if they were willing to hold the debt.

Prepare your fridge like a subway's counter: many ingredients ready to be inserted into the meal. A lot of foods that are 'junky' are at one end of a spectrum of foods, too. Nachos, as per your examples, for instance, can be over-salted rou

You don't exactly get pure substances in the world. Soo, very much so, there are differences. Get a couple sorts of salt. Dead sea, Mediterranean, and the generic stuff, and you can certainly tell. Whether or not they have health benefits..

To follow this up: M Dell is worth about 12 billion. 4 million? The easy way to compare it is by portion, in which case he's just paid, say, a fine of five hundred dollars in terms of an average person. But rationally, that marginal 4 milli
