I guess most people don't look at Magic in terms of liquidity and return. Anecdotally, while most people I've met who played magic got into the game just like me, for fun, I knew one guy who dove head first and instead of buying e

That is a good question, I guess its an underrated market. I played a lot of Magic, most of it between 2002-2007 when IME, the prices were starting to get way too high for me as I was still a teenager, nevertheless, for those willing to put

I've seen people who barely understood the NPS formula obsess over their NPS score as well as customers who wrote quizzical responses such as "I love your service it is the best, everything is perfect" and grade an 8, overall

Growing up in Brazil I got used to preferring card payments over cash, I never carried more than the equivalent of 30 USD(usually around 10-15 USD) on me because of the constant danger of being robbed. Most places accept credit cards and mo

It is a centralized content container, which makes click-bait titles like this one better material. So you can create a controversial opinion on a subject, get views, make it an entertaining even if exaggerate read and it gets featured amon

Just to make sure, you mean in Japan, right? Because unloading stolen goods are alive and well in countries where cell phone prices are high and average income is low(my personal experience is with the situation in Brazil). Phones are easy

That's because "Rails with performance" was one of Phoenix's selling points from day one, Phoenix was inspired by Rails and Elixir is heavily influenced by Ruby, prior to 1.3 killing the models in favor of contexts Phoen

You can look at it the other way, the dot-com bubble happened under huge speculation that we'd "live on the internet" and the huge potential of e-commerce/marketing but the tools available were still not finely-tuned and

I share your opinion, if you have any bottlenecks which are unsolvable because of Rails or Ruby being slow your app probably scaled up to a point where you have the resources to make a creative solution that is not Phoenix/Elixir. Havi

TBH I think these websites use the term brutalist too loosely. I am not an expert but AFAIK brutalist architecture was about a lesser concern with aesthetics and more with function. I also expected brutalist web design to be more about min

Smartphone design is downright terrible in terms of functionality, they might look nice, but I've had so many phones that were very slippery and didn't offer a firm grip as if the manufacturer says you should buy a case. And Apple

When companies get this big they usually can't just say what they do on their website with two sentences, so IMO, this is the case where these artsy vague landing pages are passable. I mean, GE was formed by Thomas Edison himself, they
