Are you serious? Kid isn’t showing up to school, and you think the school is to blame? What the hell happened to personal responsibility? The parents are 1000000% to blame here. The school system isn’t your nanny.

It’s easy and cheap because it is bypassing all the money laundering, KYC, and other money movement rules.

I don’t really care what the rules are. Arbitrarily preventing people from buying, but not selling, is market manipulation. Any company that took part in this should be dismantled. If you need to halt trading because of liquidity requiremen

The CTO has only been there since November. No idea what type of situation he or she may have inherited. However, it looks like the CTO pushed this directly, no PR.

It's not even true today. The V90 does not have a hybrid version.

That's neat and interesting... but the price difference between a Volvo plug-in hybrid and a Volvo gasoline vehicle are astounding. Take the V60, a popular wagon. Gasoline model starts at $41.6k, and the hybrid model starts at $67.9k.

Chinese browser collects your data? Spyware. American company collects your data? $1,400,000,000,000 valuation. This reminds me of how we call Russian billionaires "oligarchs" but we just call American billionaires...billionaire

Why would any retailer implement this? Oh please don’t repeatedly come back to my site. As far as how, there are dozens of things companies could do. Require a credit card verification, don’t allow digital credit cards, don’t ship to PO Box

Unique fingerprinting is completely solved. Retailers just have no motivation because the craze is driving huge traffic to their sites.

I didn’t say they use off the shelf video cards. But they absolutely do use off the shelf parts.

Gamers are already crucifying Nvidia. Nvidia is leaving billions on the table. I feel like they could win gamers back with that cash.

by cwhiz 6y ago
The only thing I don’t understand is why Nvidia isn’t raising their prices. The supply and demand is clearly out of sync. Prices should rise until there is an equilibrium between demand and supply. Why is Nvidia content to feed the eBay mar

Proof of stake is a quarter away. It’s been that way since 2018, and it’ll probably be that way at the heat death of the universe.

Yes, just like the price of goods sold at Walmart is based on third parties betting on what they think of the price. Oh, but it’s definitely necessary in the stock market. Without it, we would speculative frenzy that we definitely don’t hav

This really boils down to “I disagree with the retail traders.” There is no “true” value, despite what all the “experts” might think. The price is what the market thinks it is. If you think that price is too high, just don’t buy.

Everything is anecdotal. I live in NYC and I talk to restaurants, or I used to before the pandemic. I know the owner of this restaurant, and he absolutely hates these delivery companies. He’s not alone. https://ny.eater.com&#x2F

Lots of people do jobs that they hate. It’s common in practically every industry.

Meanwhile, these companies can't make any money as it is.[0] At some point maybe we should consider that this model is completely broken. The gig workers hate it, the restaurants hate it, and the delivery companies can't make a p

No problem? Come on. The entire Firebase stack is closed source, and only available through Google. It's not like you can take your Firebase back-end and move it to Digital Ocean. If you want to go elsewhere you have to export ever

I really like Firebase but for me it is way too risky for anything but personal projects. Vendor lock on the entire stack. Amplify tried to compete with Firebase by glueing together a bunch of disparate AWS services. It has less overall v

Shorts aren’t timed. What could happen is that holders call for shares back. However, that didn’t happen at GME@$500 so I doubt it will happen here.

They started from a different baseline. Now we have an industry that supports over 16 million employees and is a significant percentage of GDP. You can't just pull the rug out from under it.

Ah so now we're talking about the elephant in the room, the huge tax hike. Most people pay a percentage of their healthcare costs, their employer covers the rest, and it comes out of pre-tax dollars. We'll still need all that mo

There are dozens of these studies. Vermont tried to implement a single payer system to realize these costs, and it was an epic failure. Read up on it. https://www.vox.com/2014/12/22/7427117/single-payer
