100% agree that journalists emphasize the sensational for the clicks instead of the moderate and reasonable. That said, I don't agree with this framing of your question with regard to "individual" journalists. It's unlik

I recall this period as well (early to mid 2000s) and the fears of overseas workers led me to change my college major at the time. There was also still a big hangover effect from the 2000 dot com bubble. I remember seeing low developer sala

But a job provides you real money that gives you real options in life. You can't take someone out on a date with your video game points.

Nice! Good to see a company being proactive about this nonsense.

I totally forgot about this issue with dial-up modems. The good ones would temporarily pause a connection when someone picked up the phone and the cheapos would instantly lose the connection. My family was too poor to afford to phone lines

It's a mix of both. Musicians often want to seem like they didn't take lessons and don't have in-depth knowledge of music theory and old songs, but they often do (e.g., how many guitarists don't admit they took lessons a

How does this compare to Age of Empires? It looks like AOE3.

Not true. If you have any capital markets gains, you have to pay TurboTax. I don't need a tax accountant to report simple capital gains. If you have side hustle income, you have to pay TurboTax. Basically, if you're reporting any

No, it's also problematic to the upside if you're trying to use it as currency or medium of exchange rather than a speculative investment. How do sellers of assets price things? If I'm trying to sell a home in bitcoin and btc

Google's fix for spammy results seems to be favoring large corporations, governments, and putting results on their own page (so-called "rich results" fka "rich snippets).

A lot of SEO and digital marketing agencies use SEMrush because it's an easy way to track keyword rankings for your clients and their competitors. SEMrush also generates reports for keyword rankings that are helpful to provide clients.

I think the idea is trying to replicate ownership of a physical item. When you own a book or a painting, you don't own the underlying copyright in that item and you don't control reproduction and distribution of the item or the cr

That's absurdly reductionist and my comment is sincere. All the items you listed are able to bought and sold digitally. There is no evidence that the market in these items is being restricted because digital transactions are somehow be

I fail to see how something with wildly fluctuating value like bitcoin can ever serve as a stable currency or medium of exchange. Maybe it's a "less terrible" solution in poor countries with inflation challenges, but I don&#x

All of these items are already transacted digitally.

Why is this necessary when you can own the copyright to an image (or other creative work)?

When someone borrows a share, do they pay the current share price to borrow it?

Depends on the case. If a case is taken on a contingency basis (personal injury, medical malpractice, and other practice areas are usually contingency), the lawyer will only take winnable cases because the client is paying a billable hour r

The SEC's stated mission is "to protect investors; maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets; and facilitate capital formation." I would equate Robinhood consumers with investors. And plaintiff securities class action law

It works on Mac but you have to use Boot Camp or Parallels (or a similar system). Kind of a pain but totally works.

I play AOE2 as well (the Definitive Edition is really great), but I never got that serious about it. I play with relatives and friends mostly. I've watched some videos about how to increase my efficiency and some basic strategies (kill
