I wouldn't even say lot size is a factor as much as simply zoning rules and regulations. there aren't a lot of high cost of living areas, with the exception of maybe places like Manhattan, that actually don't have space for m

this is sort of dying. there are only one or two major prop houses still running. Sony just shut theirs down and they were one of the last studios to have their own prop warehouse. several specialty shops remain, but they seem much more lim

At first glance, I felt they were going for an entirely different show. But, at least the first two episodes seem like a direct rehash of the same story from Frasier. Freddy has taken on the salt of the earth, regular guy persona of Marty C

I'd love to know what their marketing spend was/is like. because it seems that they were purely word of mouth.

most people intend to pay off their card every month. but people who run into financial problems or just have a tight month financially will often pay less on their card. and there are a lot of those people.

My main problem with it is that many people interpret the G as being Gbps. And I'm sure they are not offering 10gbps speeds.

interesting. I always thought a centenarian was someone 100 years or older. now I know it's someone one-one-hundreth of a year old or older.

ACs don't send the hot air outside. They transfer the heat outside. They usually recirculate the inside air. But the act of running the inside air across the cooling coils causes water to condenser on the coils and thus dehumidifies th

yep, and alcoholics should just stop drinking and drug addicts should "just say no". Depressed people should just "stop thinking negative thoughts and go exercise". You should start a life coaching business!

As usual, Lewis had unbelievably impeccable timing with this book. He started working on this book and shadowing SBF before everything blew up. So it seems like he shouldn't need to shift gears for attention.

Aircraft carriers are what gives the US global military dominance. They are moving airports, moving cities, moving military bases that can be positioned within bombing range of anywhere in the world and they are usually flanked by a few nuc

You usually have to pay money to get rid of batteries or larger stuff like TVs and especially toxic stuff. One cent probably was the highest bid.

I can order it and get 90% delivered by tomorrow afternoon and a lot of it before 10am. I hate that they are so far ahead of everyone else. I will order direct from specialty websites for higher quality foods when I can, but more often than

Did you ever see any statistics to back up your perception that all the kids were extra well behaved for the rest of the year? The reason I ask is that we've all heard the whole "tough on crime" schtick and I feel like it has

I think it's also more than just systems and data centers. it is also difficult to scrape the web the way Google does without using Google IP addresses. a lot of the web now will block you or severely throttle you if you aren't on

Yep. And I should clarify, in case anyone does some checking. He didn't bet that NO active managers would beat the market. Just that no one could pick which active managers would beat the market but it will be random, and inconsistent.

why would anyone want to buy this debt unless at a huge discount? and why would they be talking about write downs or potential default? Didn't they require Musk's personal stock assets as collateral?

I hear this all the time, that non-ecc machines are just completely fragile, and the math seems to indicate that one should be getting bit flips all the time. and yet, my Intel system has 64gb of non-ecc ram and it runs half the day everyda

yes and it's about equivalent to Google's entire net profit.

funny thing is, it was probably about 10 years ago or more that he made a bet that no active manager could beat the market.

you don't see how going to the bank during work hours to get an overdraft charge would be difficult for a lower income person? I'm going to guess you live in the suburbs for one and that you have a vehicle and a flexible, white co

That's exactly how most funds operate. They don't want to spend the time and money to do due diligence so they just wait around for one of the bigger funds to supposedly do the due diligence. So if they see them invest, they will

That's very likely not true in the slightest. Only a very small percentage of suburbanites are close to a private school. And of that small percentage, most aren't close to being able to afford private school.
