I've been working on something similar (didn't get to this stage yet) and was planning to do something very similar to the circle-sampling method but the staggering of circles is a really clever idea I had never considered. I was

It’s incredibly grating to get into my mom’s car and see a FYP on her dashboard with podcast recs. It makes me feel like I woke up on the moon. It just makes no sense and it’s clearly harder (for her, and in general) to use than an old-scho

Watching BBC news earlier, two interviewees were acolytes of Venuzuelan politician and exile Maria Corina Machado, who recently received the Nobel Peace Prize, and Juan Guaidó, the former American-backed coup (or whatever you want to call i

It’s labels plus the limited revenue available due to competition. 15$ or so just doesn’t reflect the work that goes into a month’s worth of music listening.

When I was sixteen I was already familiar with the concept of leverage. I’m not sure if I’d have had the cajones to use it though.

I hope I'm not assuming too much but I'm really hope the up and coming hacker is smart enough to know that his work was worth more than $4,000. That's 1-2% of an annual SE salary for someone with similar skillset.

Unless I misunderstand your question, isn’t the obvious answer just short-term profit? No investor has thus far invested something they can’t yet cash out.

There’s certainly a business case for “which nines” after the talk of n nines. You ideally want to be available when your competitor, for instance, is not.

People definitely go to BH for the artists. Of course plenty just go for clout too, but other than the cult that goes almost every weekend that is a pretty new thing. You may be interested to learn they pay a flat fee for all bookings (not

In my personal experience for a day procedure (gastroscopy) it was fentanyl + midazolam, although on another occasion for the same procedure they added ketamine for some reason. In the latter case I actually remember more of the procedure -

Very true, and the hedge funds and institutional investors will have game plans for this, some will work, some won’t. Retail investors, as usual, will be worst hit (I say this as a European with no stake in US stocks).

He and Trump share an enormous amount of plainly evident narcissistic traits, which are effective in business but fatal combined with toxic, quixotic ideology. Impulsivity is among those features. Narcissists embrace and promote tribalism,
