This describes my great uncle. Got paid almost his entire life, to not grow wheat. Now his kids are slowly selling off the land, cause the government payments (welfare) isn’t enough to keep them all in mansions anymore. Too many greedy, laz

Isn’t that just another regular project they do at coding boot camps these days? I would guess every full stack developer should be able to do this after 3-4 months. Rewriting Twitter isn’t hard at all. It’s their scale that’s impressive.

Maybe if we let the speculators take the hit of losing it all when playing these games, they’d stop playing. But instead we stop it from happening and prevent the hard lesson from being learned.

Whatever happened to a free market in the land of the free? Every investor Should be aware of the risk that they could lose everything and that markets, whether we like it or not, are manipulateable. Let them run wild.

There is an old shipping container hidden behind our 7-11[0]. Only way to tell what it is, is by the excess venting and security. They popped up everywhere but no one knows what they are. Most are in really rundown, old, or temporary buildi

Alcoa owns 24-26% of a very large hydroelectric dam in Wenatchee Washington. It’s more profitable to sell their power shares then to run their plant, so the largest(also one of the best paying) employer in town shuttered their plant to sell

That’s my town! And it’s actually totally unnoticeable, 98% of people in town have no idea. The real only effect it had on most citizens were the fires that got started at a few mines, from electrical overloads. Now it’s a big pain if you w

Attribution adds another messy metric. I’ve had many transactions claimed by multiple advertising platforms. Yikes. And ROAS is Google’s main measure of return, it’s a poor metric because it has nothing to do with profit.
