This number they throw around is such marketing bs. If we break it down what it really means is "If we take a sampling of the population only 1 in 1 million people will look like you so you're good". As Schiller conceded in h

To top it off, the author doesn't seem to be an economist, but rather a professor of Geology. He appears to have studied and written about wealth, but the fact is as you say the article lacks any references to studies that back up his

I find printing/scanning to be one of those things that I almost never do, and desperately try to avoid - but when I need to do it it's usually super important paperwork that has to be done right away. And having to go hunt down a

I was hoping that the article would touch on what the physical requirements are, and was disappointed. Here's some interesting resources http://work.chron.com/armys-minimum-physical-requirements-jo... https:/&#x2

I'd absolutely go for this. I spend about 2-3 months a year in the US and like to drive nice cars. Having not just one new porsche to drive while i'm there, but an entire fleet of them is amazing. Want to go out hiking? Grab an SU

It's super annoying when you're at a friends place and want to play some music through their speaker system, in a hotel room traveling, or just when i'm using both my laptop and iphone with the same pair of headphones having

I have always said Apple should buy Nintendo. Much better fit, much better synergy. Imagine what a competitive advantage they would have with Nintendo exclusives being brought to iPhone? - The Nintendo switch is already basically an iPad in

I tried Lyft and I much prefer the UI! The apps way better. But then I compared quotes for a fare across town and Uber was about 40% cheaper. I'm not stingy but that seemed ridiculous to me.

by pentae 9y ago
In the US, sure. But if you travel internationally as I do, Lyft isn't even Outside the US yet while Uber is in almost 100 countries. There's no comparison.

I believe it's because as you get older, the 'single life' becomes less interesting, less rewarding and culturally less acceptable.

Agree wholreheartedly. I am still savage that I cannot buy the 15" without paying an extra $300 premium for a touch bar that serves to do nothing but constantly annoy me.

by pentae 9y ago
The whole world was screaming for a new Apple laptop with better performance. Imagine how many more sales they would have made if Apple had not had the touch bar, kept one legacy USB A port and hdmi port, better battery life, updated specs

I'd just be happy if they put all those people back on the Mac and OSX team.

So the equivalent of that in Thailand would be about $1300 a month. My estimate of $3k includes a spacious 2 bedroom western style condo with a pool, gym, a nice motorbike, uber, eating out almost every meal, drinking, vacations to the beac

Some would argue just because you live somewhere doesn't entitle the government to profits generated in another country that has nothing to do with them. Also in Thailands case they seem to just be happy as long as we are living there

Well as someone who is NOT a US Citizen (this doesn't work for US citizens) I'm able to base my tax residency in Thailand, which has no CFC Laws and enables me to remotely manage and control my offshore corporations and not pay ta

Yeah you're right, I'm quite jet lagged right now and it was a poor choice of phrasing. oops

This is also based on the assumption you are in a client/service business. However as someone with a startup in Thailand the timezone is always the first point of contention for most of us, So not disagreeing with you on that point. No

It wasn't a factor for me, because I am more attracted to European/Caucasian women. And sure enough Murphy's law did have me end up with quite a beautiful Thai lady, I dare say could possibly be out of my league in the US or

The old Hotel California rule. US Citizens are the only people in the world (besides a very small african nation) that still have to file and pay income taxes back home when they are no longer living in the United States. So much for being

This statement seems unnecessarily harsh. To me it looks like a next generation interior that can be customised with software to support autonomous driving for non-owners of the vehicle.

"About us", "Press", and "Contact" isn't even linked. Kickstarter logo clearly stolen. Yeah, seems legit!

In my opinion the reason the Mac marketshare is so small is because up until recently, you simply can not buy a mac with a graphics card capable of running any decent game.
