Uh... Rome did not conquer Europe by being gathering a lot of Facebook Likes. It did it by defeating the surrounding tribes, kingdoms, and rival empires. The Legions imposed Roman law and encouraged the adoption of Roman culture and ethics.

100ms+ feels worse in this kind of thing compared to 100ms ping to a multiplayer server because even if you have bad ping to a server the game still records your inputs locally and feels responsive. More realistically it will be more like 1

You can get a 500 GB Samsung nVME for about $150 now, not much more than what a regular SSD was a couple years ago... but totally agreed that a regular SSD is more than fast enough for most people. If it was manufactured this decade, it sho

Flip it around. If you are an employee partly compensated in stock, is it fair for a multi-billionaire who was one of your former bosses to flippantly trash talk the company in public after he cashes out, potentially damaging the value of y

It's misleading because you do not need to be a wholesaler to use FBA, and in fact the majority of FBA users have never been wholesalers and never will be. This is one of the reasons why this article is so misleading, because it gives
