A functional capital market provides liquidity and higher valuation to an investment. Without these two you would have less capital going into companies. Trading shares may have little immediate effect, but certainly do for the next share

It's like the funnel intro format everyone gets hammered into writing while in school. I never cared for it, and now have to filter it out when reading articles. It's pure noise rather than adding to the content.

Do you suffer a deficiency because it takes a long time to build up B12 levels, or because you are used to not eating much meat?

Yes, I know someone who likes unhealthy food and would not eat healthy food even if I paid for it. Sometimes I would give in and eat unhealthy with her, for which she would thank me. Somewhere deep down crap food provides her comfort, I g

How did it compare in terms of average income? Carrots and cabbages are about the cheapest vegetables in the store. It doesn't even make a scratch in the bankroll. Bell peppers, now that's another story.

The material you are looking for is called a scintillator. It converts higher energy photons to visible. Of course it has its own issues / cost. Plus, you have to get the light from the rooftop to plants.

This is not exactly correct. The link explains why by breaking down the stages of efficiency loss. The solar panels only mitigate the first step, so you are look at 22% vs 47% for plants. Then, the 22% is not including losses from conver

I broke my lease last year. All I had to do was find a replacement tenant. I basically incurred no fees except the new tenant moved in slightly later than I moved out.

Maybe Interactive Brokers can do it, though Nigeria was not explicitly listed. Also IB is geared for traders and has a $10 monthly fee (less commissions paid) if your account is under $100k USD. $10k minimum to open account.

The point is that emotional need should not be a factor in deciding whether to take a bet. If everything else makes sense, go for it. Otherwise likely your judgment is clouded. This is another reason why scratching your own itch is import

Along the lines of "step 1", don't try to gamble/invest/go-all-in on stacks of chips, stocks, or start-ups. That will amplify and prolong your misery, as you fall behind more on your mental ledger. I've done i

I don't know if you tried to email me, but I don't have yours. Rather than show up to hand out CVs, I can refer you to a job... and one that is looking for Ph.D grads.

My company has an opening for a process engineer (Bay Area or Florida). My email is my handle at gmail. I'll send you the details by email. As far as I know, our company does sponsor visas and pays for interview flight + relocation,

Every company in this area has their buildings locked where you need an employee badge to get it. The main entrances have reception up front and/or security guards, metal detectors, etc. You won't just walk in unless you are wil

Your career trajectory can be amplified with each job stepping stone, so the higher you start the better. Finishing a masters can help you land a better job. Basically, unless you land a spot in a top company, you might be better off finis

Not having a good GPA does set you back temporarily, in the form of less access to graduate schools or an initial job. Which in turn lessen chances of some traditional advancements, like fast track management, doctors and lawyers, or finan

I'd encourage you to re-think this. Blue Apron fails because it is higher cost in a VERY low margin business, combined with a mandate to scale. Simply put, their value was mostly saving you time, with a novelty twist. But you have t

You can tell Uber where you want to end up, and they will route you customers going that location. Also, I'm astounded at least two people bothered to downvote my factual reporting.

I know one Japanese guy who strongly prefers eating mostly rice. Surely it's not a status thing any more. It wouldn't surprise me if there was a non-cultural cause for this.

I talked to one guy who drives for Uber just for his hour long commute. If he was going to drive anyway, why not have someone else pay for it?

Non-software engineer - don't use any drugs, no idea if any of my coworkers do. Probably not... my job environments have been way too stale. I don't even drink coffee - I fall asleep regardless. Smoking weed never got me "h

You'd still feel that way without the money. Don't blow your money. The way you feel just comes from being in your 20's and sorting out your feelings.

Whoops, but it looks like the $800 can be waived the first year and count towards income tax.
