Anecdotal obviously, but I’m barely outside this demographic at 22. I can tell you that nobody around my age in NYC uses snap anymore. In fact, it’s looked at with shock or disdain if someone mentions that they opened it for one reason or a

I'm not an intelligence expert so this is purely spectulation. However, this assumes lots of things. Perhaps the Russians are truly that sloppy. However, more likely in my eyes is that this is a strategy to make them appear dumb and sl

I've heard of people with appointments at 8AM and a passport being delivered to their door by 10AM in emergency situations. Not hard to contact your congressperson to get this done. They love this as it involves almost no effort and is

Many countries have passport blanks in every embassy. They're some of the most tightly controlled documents in the world given they could be used to print new, seemingly valid passports for anyone (if that country doesn't info sha

Spend some time in an affluent neighborhood in a large metro area and I think you'll realize that isn't true. I sure don't know any Tribeca or Pacific Heights residents with Androids.

Check out Portugal's golden visa program especially if you can WFH. Either way, the real estate program provides instant residency and only mandates 7 days of residency per year before citizenship (14 in the last year). After five year

I don't own a car and very rarely Uber (basically only to the airport and even that's purely out of laziness). I just carry two Costco tote bags back to the subway. It's not the most comfortable but it's much better than

Because nuclear energy is the only viable (with the ability to not be capital-intensive if NIMBYs can be excluded from processes like siting) energy option for a process as energy-intensive as desalinization is. However, there's no rea

The notion of growing "food" (i.e. almonds for export to China) in a desert is ludicrous, but how would you accomplish a ban on agriculture? At best, you might be able to create a program for farmers to give up their water rights

Expiration dates on some OTC drugs like Advil aren't as important as you might think. [See this.]( https://www.healthdigest.com/756305/does-ibuprofen-expire/ )

I'm in a pretty small apartment in Manhattan (albeit with an abnormally large kitchen). I can always get the value of my Costco membership in my first trip there, even without a car. Basic goods like Advil, laundry detergent and dishwa

Yes, this is generally true, but not always (although this is definitely an outlier). JFK-SCL was $1200 cash through the airline or $287 through a travel agent. Guess which I chose?

Think how easy it is to take advantage of grandma for "tech support," whether it be from India or at a seedy computer repair shop. It wouldn't surprise me to hear that the majority of small business owners have never heard of

It's not a matter of "cutting corners." Think of all of the small businesses that recently moved online due to store closures. These businesses simply do not have the budget required to create something comparable to, say, Be

FYI, only applies if coming from high-risk states. This included nine states originally. Not sure if further states have been added.

Full disclosure: I've worked in PE before, though I do not currently. Did not directly do anything involving LBOs. Companies seeking LBOs are not generally in a great financial position. As a result, they tend to go bankrupt at a much

I'm not Swedish -- how is this being accomplished? By way of legislation? Here in NYC, Metrocard data can be obtained by LE or the DA. A new fare payment system currently being implemented is presumably even easier to track people.

Yes, but it's still rare to get $1B for your first fund. Firms usually have a big deal or two planned to attract LPs. This was likely the case here. Would be interesting to see if someone can figure out who their LPs are.

Has anyone looked into Ethos Capital? According to LinkedIn, they have a founder and two other employees -- one analyst and one associate (in India). There is another Ethos Capital in the Los Angeles area, but I can't determine if ther

Can you elaborate what you mean by this? Are you referring to something ethical?

No -- Staten Island (and the VZ Bridge) exists. The government is too incompetent to toll the Holland and Lincoln tunnels accordingly.

I'm on 14th St most days. Have you never taken a M14A/D bus? It's much more convenient than taking the L or walking two or three avenues, especially if you already have an unlimited Metrocard. L trains on the weekend are usua

I didn't mention whether I thought the increase in IPOs was worrying. (In fact, I do think we may be reaching/reached saturation.) IPOs per year is a highly volatile number [1], based upon lots of factors, such as perceived market

IPOs have precipitously declined since the 90s. In 1999, there were 486 IPOs. There are now approximately 190 per year. [1] [1] https://www.statista.com/statistics/270290/number-of-ipos-in...
