A HELOC is, literally, a line of credit. You can do anything you want with that money: start a business, go to college, buy bitcoin, buy another property, etc.

The people who become homeless because their rent went up certainly exist. These people tend to be homeless for a short amount of time because they are able to eventually find new housing. Maybe they live in their car for awhile. Maybe they

You are assuming that having low income housing somehow impacts the price of higher end housing, and I am not sure that this is true. Would a person with a million dollar house be hurt if we built 100,000 more million dollar houses? Yes. Wo

I explain it that way to people all the time and they almost all say that.

Just to clarify my initial comment... I am actually not particularly interested in the biological pathways, etc. My reaction was 100% because it sounds like the sketchy language of every single other weight loss "breakthrough" tha

It is a fraught comparison, but I would like to think that the Taliban has MUCH broader support in Afghanistan than the KKK does in the US.

I am curious if this question has come up in company marketing discussions. One of the most common and off-putting things about the weight-loss industry is the vague medicine promise. Have you considered just saying "semaglutide"

As someone whose weight has been all over the place in my life, I really appreciate hearing this. I've known it is true forever, but it is rare to hear other people saying it. There is much more to weight than calories in/out. Som

I think this is the fundamental fallacy in this whole situation. "Taliban" and "Afghans" are not two separate groups.

I think this is one of those problems where the only solution is to go forward. Astronomy will be done in the future off-Earth. It will take a long time to get there, but that's the real solution.

I used to do a very stupid magic trick where I would have someone pick a card and then shuffle it back into the deck. I would shuffle a few more times while asking them to focus on their card. Then I would ask them to name their card. They

I think this is true in a lot of industries. I was in the music industry and I quickly learned that it is about hustle and hype more than quality players or songs. In larger companies it is the people who play the "office politics game

I had a front row seat to the technological changes in the music industry. I opened a recording studio when you had to "edit" using a razor blade and tape to cut tape together. I remember my first time doing digital editing on a M

800-273-8255 is the number for the national suicide prevention hotline. Keep that number handy and use it if you need it...because: Life is surprising. You have no idea what you will be doing in 5 years, and there is every chance that you w

I would love for it to be aliens, but it seems like one of the least likely explanations. Occam's razor doesn't magically give you an answer, but humans flying drones seems like it should be the obvious explanation.

Agreed. What I meant was that networking is the paradigm of the times when it comes to computing, so you would expect THAT to be the base assumption, not a 20 year out of date stand-alone computer.

It is especially weird that people in this day and age would even think of the brain as a single computer instead of as a network of computers. I have no idea how well that analogy holds, but it does seem like a natural base assumption to h

One of the more common "bitcoin implosion scenarios" keeping people up at night has been Tether collapsing. Certainly that must be priced into crypto by now. The accusations and suspicions that it is not backed by hard currency ha

I mean priced into the crypto market writ large.

by issa 5y ago
I think the most important thing to keep in mind is that EVERYONE knows Tether is a complete farce and this is already priced into the market.

You could watch (or edit) movies in Premiere or any other editing software with color correcting/grading. But there really isn't much to work with once you are talking about finished movies. I'm not sure it would be worth the

It sounds like a good time to raise a bit of money. Don't go crazy, but try to get enough of an investment that one or both of you can start working full time on the company. Or, if neither of you are comfortable with sales, try to bri

Without completely dismissing the idea of going to school, it might be more your speed to work on an open source project of some sort. If you can build something and launch it, that is cheaper, faster, and (potentially) a lot more fun than

In recent years artists have turned to selling VIP access as a major source of income on tour. In a lot of music scenes, this is normal and fans are really into it.

I was going to post something similar. There has been some amazing technology in the past 30 years, but the argument can be made that we are focused on the wrong things. I love that anyone can carry all the world's knowledge in their p

It's interesting to me that people have such different reactions. I'm much more concerned with mute/unmute than with volume level. Not sure if that makes a difference. I don't mind a slight delay to change the volume of
