The burden of proof is on you to establish a random wordpress blog's credibility. The tin-foil NOAA "cover up" conspiracy the site is pushing means it's spreading conspiratorial misinformation.

This is a fake news blog, created to spread conspiratorial misinformation.

Same. Their whole experience feels like the drop shipper of tea, or at least a liquidator. I have used Adagio Teas ( https://www.adagio.com/ ) for almost a decade now and have no complaints.

In a behaviorial finance class I took we learned about a few hedge funds that followed CEO's during the 90's, and shorted their companies whenever the CEO underwent plastic surgery. Turns out that personal appearance insecurity o

Do you have any proof of that? Because your article about Buffet is neither about Dimon, crypto, or rich people investing in the latter. In fact, I'd say Buffet understood Goldman was undervalued when it plummeted during the height of

Historically Starbucks has been used as a market indicator for other companies' expansion. If a starbucks opened in a location then it was assumed that there were growth factors at play in the market since that was the north star for

Precisely - Real estate boils down to financial operations on assets that have a number of factors and signals that go into predicting market prices. This also includes demand for commercial space.

I was curious, so I looked into it - apparently the US exported $4.5 billion worth of almonds 2017, with Spain being the largest consumer ($0.5 B). Also learned that the US imports almost exactly as many pecans as it exports. Seems like th

Why not just run all desktop apps in sandboxed virtual machines then? There's a tradeoff between default privacy settings and user simplicity. As a power user you're still free to run whatever complicated scheme/browser you

I've never understood this argument. What's the purpose of having RAM if it's not utilized?

It's clickbait fodder. Construing the manifest privacy changes as Google is blocking ad blockers is better clickbait than saying Apple safari is doing the same thing. It's similar to when the internet blew up about Google'

It's like the third party really had no intention of paying 20K, other than to use it as a carrot to dangle in front of the publisher.

It is not known at the time of storing the data if the data being stored will be denonymizable - especially for logs data. Saying, "Just don't store logs data" is a fundamental misunderstanding of how web development works.

That is not how logs work. Did you reply to the right comment? Exemplify is gating database records from surfacing through their UI. These records still exist in the database and are admin accessible. The act of knowing if clustering t

Those fees exist to cover risk mitigation - i.e. a certain percentage of on-ramps are fraudulent and the fee disperses the loss spread to everyone who is on-ramping. Unless this service has invented some new technology in fraud prevention,

GP is referring to pseudonymization, not data structures. Logs that do not contain explicit PII are still rife with pseudo-identifiers that could possibly (but not typically) be used to join activity with PII. For example: - You have one se

It's more likely you'll have centralized drone delivery hubs - i.e. one place in your apartment building - rather than every window or patio having a delivery spot.

Right? That's precisely why I think the SEC is hiding in the duck blind, watching Byrnes unravel and waiting for the right moment to pull the trigger.

True, but I didn't mean to say revenue was completely immune to the same manipulation - Microsoft was notorious for deferring windows revenue to show QoQ growth stability in the 90's, like you're eluding to. Still, there are

Revenue is a better thermometer than profits here, especially since most startups leading up to an IPO manipulate their profits into looking great. It seems the regulatory product lifecycle is that AirBnB enters a new market, and then some

Promoted content exists, where publishers accept money from companies to write articles promoting a good or service, to subsidize their revenue. Most of the time they do not disclose this.

Basically, Byrnes is looking like a duck, quacking like a duck, and swimming like a duck. I can't see the SEC sitting this one out. How soon until Overstock throws Byrnes under the bus too? They made the decision to make the dividend

Yep. That's why we've seen a glut of public offerings in the past 18 months, as CFOs push to get them out before the drought.
