Learn how to read quarterly earnings (and other financial documents). It's amazing how simply it is to see if a company is making money / losing money and how that'll impact your view of the world. For instance, Uber as it is

Why are they increasing the price of gas (which triggered the protests)? My understanding is that they are largely embargoed, so shouldn't they have plenty of fuel around, given they are (or were) a major exporter?

That's fair, some places are explicit and still lay out "individual", but legally you don't have to. In either case, I'd also note here, because they are a married couple they are counting that income twice. Which,

That's not exactly the way credit works. For one, you're supposed to report your income not joint income when filling out applications. You can however list joint assets , or at least that's much fuzzier. EDIT: Apparentl

Yes, the technique is general. Take a QR code and do the same manipulations and you get 2x scanning speed and 4x redundancy with no change in the algorithm. I've actually improved it significantly since then, where it's possible t

The problem with this is that it's prone to error (doesn't have error correcting bits). Unfortunately, that combined with speed of scanning is really what's key for codes. I have worked in the space, making some strides in sp

Perhaps "talent" is the wrong term. I can be talented at hammering nails, that doesn't mean I'll be super wealthy. What you need is a talent that earns revenue and the foresight to retain the net income and increase reve

There's typically a minimum limit set out by a set of laws. So if you have $100k yearly pension, they may have to pay at least $25k. Reality is, 401k is much better for all parties as company and employee can part ways at any time. Emp
