Nor would I, but I also wouldn't mind seeing Slate and The Atlantic vanish from the internet.

I started with adWords and then quickly got into the first page for organic. It doesn't matter, I still get negligible organic traffic, it's almost all paid. Seems like consumers have been trained to go to adwords results when the

Or maybe it's the belief that humans have abused, and lost, their license to harvest pigs for meat. Take a look at the conditions pigs are raised on in commercial farms. Locking any animal in a cage for its whole life, where it cannot

I'm really curious how his re-settlement back in Calgary will go. The Travelers Curse is that one can't feel at home anywhere after a long period of traveling. You're never quite at home in the foreign culture but you also fe

That doesn't make sense. GPS is not a transmitter. Will you include an embedded 3G SIM card (like a Kindle)? I'm not sure how you will get the GPS coordinates to the smartphone 10 miles away.

It's frustrating that someone with such poor critical thinking skills can become so rich. Anyone with even mediocre critical thinking abilities and a general knowledge of markets would understand that the reason the stock market went u

Makes me sad because I don't have much control over living in the same city as them. I have a theory that much of the high rates of depression and unhappiness in the US can be attributed to the large size of the country combined with o

I find it odd that you glorify poverty.

Hosting is like commercial airlines. Everyone wants excellent service, but they shop on price, and expect it to be low. Those who can actually spend a lot, do it themselves anyways (private jets). This could be the beginning of a consolidat

You should almost always avoid working for low-margin businesses. Sure, if they are new and growing, there's an exception, but if their whole growth plan is premised around being low-margin, it's not going to be a great place to w

No way. I live in Manhattan and SF sounds like a nightmare. I have so many options in terms of other boroughs (subway), nice, pre-war suburbs with walkable areas (LIRR & metro north commuter rail), or even another state (PATH train, NJ

Seriously. Google searches these sites better than each site's own native search. And Google search is readily available in my Chrome browser bar on my laptop and phone, why would I take the added step of going to each site for their o

What you're saying is "The surest way to get rich is to be rich." Real estate is just a way to invest money you already have. It doesn't generate wealth unless you have access to capital and can put deals together to dev

New builds involve dozens of units coming to market at once. Thus, sales and marketing teams can be employed to market the property overseas to these wealthy individuals. It's also far more predictable and doesn't require inspecti

I'm not anti-development but your last statement is not necessarily guaranteed. These days new units are being sold off-plan before construction to wealthy international non-residents who simply want to park their money. They will rema

This is exactly the problem. If people stop thinking of SF as its own city and rather just an expensive neighborhood in the larger "city" of the Bay Area, they wouldn't clamor so much about high costs. It's the lack of g

I think it's more about more and more nations' economies growing and entering the global economy. When that happens you will get new millionaires and billionaires no matter how little inequality a country has.

"Support each other" is the defining characteristic of the Jewish community. I am part of a different highly-educated minority, but its people seem to always be envious/jealous of each other and highly competitive, and so usu

They aren't in a capital intensive business. Does this mean they have to throw away their money on frivolous investments? Having a ton of cash does not change the economics of any single investment. Every investment decision is based o

I came here to take on the commuting point. Every time I read about how miserable long commutes are, I think of my dad. 45 minutes driving through traffic each way every day. Never hear him complain about it or get in a sour mood over it. H
