This isn’t happening and it’s not the purpose. “Unbanked” is an imaginary word. If a person is “unbanked”, it’s likely that they are also “uninternetted” and/or “uncomputered.”

It seems as though the sanctions were levied aggressively as a long term play. I’m curious how their effect is over time as it seems to disrupt their trade quite a bit. I’ve read contextual reports but would like for someone to tie it all

I think that one disadvantage though is that a key ally of theirs loses what’s left of their economic and military strength.

I suppose all demographics can get ripped off while harming the planet equally.

Agreed. I was being somewhat tangential to the article at hand and responding more to the catnip comparison. I can only recall a few articles that were particularly well-reasoned.

I think society has been somewhat brainwashed into the importance of online marketing. I like scientific approaches that refute that. For example, I don’t think that people should be following their dentists and plumbers on Facebook, Inst

Agreed. A decent interviewer can also determine a person’s understanding of a topic by simply talking to them about it. IE why did you build a model like this? What diagnostics did you use? Have you tried ____ before in your career?

Not sure why the downvotes but that’s a crucial question. Unfortunately, products from the 90s have been deemed fancy and had their prices increased by a multiple of around 15, at least in the US.

True, and the concerning thing is that it’s indistinguishable from the normal PR and marketing pieces. The Matt Damon commercials are ridiculous.

Not to be intentionally contrarian, but do you have a data source for the vacancy rate? My understanding is that some states have been losing people net and have still had rents and home values skyrocket. I think an increase in Airbnb woul

That is also meaningless. I have an overlapping feature set with Jeff Bezos in that I’m alive and have eyebrows. This doesn’t mean that there are meaningful financial comparisons. What is your crypto position and why have you taken that p

This makes no sense as crypto doesn’t have the same feature set as currency. It is like comparing a small number of razor scooters to the transportation network. They don’t belong in the same sentence.

Yes, I think the “unregistered security” description of crypto is most accurate.

I’d think that like fb, they collect data on individuals regardless of accounts. One example of this is their facial recognition services. Given that they force higher pricing of products not on their page, it becomes challenging to simpl

True, and the ridiculously easy process to accidentally sign up for a subscription to each of your smallest of purchases.

As a statistician, I see a constant flood of incorrect statistical conclusions and poorly designed experiments.

I’d dispute the ton of independent buyers given the amount of bids placed by the top 10 corporations. Even if the bids are rejected it still has a large effect on pricing

Yes, it takes a remarkable amount of mental gymnastics to reconcile decentralized transparent information and the Facebook corporation.

I think that depends on the extent to which they rip them off.

I think many things are intentionally mislabeled as “luxury”. One can buy a simple refrigerator from Best Buy and claim that it’s stainless. I’ve seen listings brag about how the place has a Nest thermostat.

The maybe later option will be in tiny print in the corner with a background that doesn’t contrast much and will be followed by “are you sure?”

Not only the website is perfect, I’d say the same about delivery and customer service.
