   Articles about Amazon are quick to mention the workplace conditions or robots automating something. Rarely do they mention that machines equal lower prices for the consumers 9 times out of 10. You can think what you want about Amazon but I’

   What is a reasonable time frame for an antitrust lawsuit to conclude in? Now that the consumers have the legal ability to sue, how long could this take, considering that it took 8 years to get to this point?

   I don’t understand why a Hyperloop is the next logical step. Making a low pressure tube is probably pretty hard at scale. Every design is trying to minimize air resistance. Why not wrap already existing high speed rail lines with a cheap ai

   That’s fair. For the overall game you can expect to lose 50% though, with a handful of outsized windfalls going to 1/1000000 people. In principle it’s more about why a poor person can access lotteries but not private investments, not t

   Then you can do marginal accredidation based on income and/or net worth rather than nothing or anything at 200k income/2MM net worth. It would be easy to regulate for anyone that makes, or is worth, less than "accredited&quot

   > Of course, I do think it can serve a useful purpose, but there is reason early-stage, private investment is restricted to qualified investors. The expected value of early stage investing is certainly higher than lotteries in the US.

    In the US, those two brands make high quality products that use a 4 stroke motor, so no oil mixing. They are quite popular around college campuses and do not smell.

    You can get a street legal new Honda Ruckus or Yamaha Zuma 50cc for ~2500. 115mpg, no motorcycle license required, 100+ mile range, and no charging. This is a tough purchase price, when you can order direct from amazon or Alibaba for at lea

    I find that people tend to believe there is a specific amount of time, or even range of time that is ideal. The body is massively complex and ideal sleep time is completely different on a person to person basis. You must understand that the

    Well, you might be biased by the fact that you are fluent in emacs and/or vim. 90+% of modern programmers use heavier IDE's in their work.

    Are you upset r >> g? What if you had to retire on savings that were sitting in a bank account earning .1% APY? If you make on average, $100k a year over a short 30 year career, saving only 10% at .1% APY, what are your savings? $314.

    There are so many people that view investing like this. It's best to leave your morals and worldview to the side when investing, or letting others invest on your behalf.

    Don’t think being in a particular party disqualifies you from knowing tech. Pretty sure the guy ran in the spot he would have the best chance of winning, not the place he prefers as many politicians do this.
