GDP is not a silly metric, it measures economic activity that the government can tax; which is what matters to governments at the end of the day.

You pay a premium for futures. If you can't accept delivery, then you must sell before the contract settles. That's essentially the price for holding the gold.

I wonder if this has to do with American Airports. I've been flying for over a decade and quite extensively for the last 4 years. I've only lost a baggage in the US (newark) and I've only taken a dozen flights or so on the co

All the value will be diverted. I don’t know if you noticed, but in the last few years, you’d have come ahead if you gambled on the stock, crypto or commodities market than if you busted your ass.

Don’t. Especially if your product requires a complex front-end. It’ll be an unwinnable uphill battle. There is a lot of stuff that is ready made for you in React and you can run a lean GraphQL server to your back-end of choosing.

Trumpism is clearly spreading… The reason China solar is booming is because of structural incentives. Solar is “dirt cheap” compared to oil/gas. That’s why Africa is importing records of it and breaking that record every next year. It’

China is probably doing it for geo-political purposes (ie: if there is no oil, I can still move people with trains). They are ready to take a financial hit for that safety net. Europe is in a similar predicament but even the Russian war did

Sizing up the military is going/inviting the military leaders multiple times to figure out if they will stand with you in the case of a coup. That’s not what the South Korean president did. Many people here confuse a coup to a direct s

You should look up on how coups work. Unless they want to end up like the south korean president, they should size up the military. That’s what it is about and if you are working on a coup, it’s worth every penny especially that the public

What people (managers?) don’t realize (or don’t want to realize) is that building software is much more complex than most other professions. Some software is easy and has been done n+1th time (like a simple crud app with a db connection). B

China is doing it. Huawei now has its own proper OS (and no, it is not Linux. Lookup HarmonyOS Next). I played with the laptop a bit a couple months ago. It is very basic but it has a functioning browser and some really neat features.
