I mean they have to be cleaned up by the city so that process must be tracked.

eBay provides fewer platform support and therefore has lower commission? Also, second-hand doesn't always mean used. A good niche on eBay are New in the Box items that somebody wants to get rid of. The marketplace is pretty good there

Yet we don't allow them to go too far or it becomes public indecency. Why? "Indecency" is completely cultural. People are triggered by different things. Somebody above is disgusted by a standard bodily function when done in p

Homeless people dying on the streets shooting up drugs would be a good place for human rights to start, but NIMBY's cultural norms are very inclusive of this for some reason. Also male genital mutilation at birth is such a nice cultura

Singapore uses public caning. This stuff seems common in city-states.

It's all arbitrary. People frown on public defecation. Why is that?

On the consumer side, Google has begun charging for services like storage. It also sells Pixel phones and licenses Android. Maybe it's still heavily subsidized but it's not that clear cut.

What does holding option do?

Yeah, it's the best time to invest since ... (checks watch) ... 18 months ago. I'm sorry, at an investment horizon of 10-20 years, that's not a slick deal. I am also talking about bitcoin. If it goes to $5000 then we're

I don't know, people seem pretty greedy still. VIX barely at 30, PE10 near pre-pandemic highs, real yields negative out to 3-4 years, and markets are orderly. If you get weeks and weeks of 4% daily drops, real yields at 5%, and hedge f

Gains from the past isn't so much the point, but rather when you may need to liquidate. An emergency fund is typically needed at the worst possible time, when the economy isn't good and investments are deflated. That's the li

Stocks are the definition of not liquid, in that their implied duration is 10+ years at least. How many fools are using stocks as an emergency fund during a tightening cycle that's removing liquidity at the fastest pace since the 1980&

Broad munis and intermediate treasuries are both down 10% YTD, and so are TIPS (though at least those have had inflation adjustments). You might want to check your "emergency fund investment account" lol...

Not really. Gold is up about 10% over 10 years and CPI change over 10 years is about 27%. In the grand scheme of things that's flat. You forgot all the deflationary years in between.

Gold is flat YTD and over 1 year. It may yet go down but probably won't unless inflation is checked. It's living up to promises.

By what mechanism would they not accept? Sure you can leave and create a new network, as much as you can choose one of the many other cryptos already out there.

Currency is itself a financial good that is bought and sold, and has value. It's not divorced from other goods and is not special. You even have currency factories (banks) and competition. Also, any currency devaluing (which BTC is doi

Sure, the things being traded with a money supply can decrease and if the money supply doesn't decrease alongside, it also is inflationary. BTC was used to trade USD, supply of USD is decreasing while BTC is algorithmically not decreas

Nothing is in a vacuum and wealth only has meaning relatively. As much as it may be a shock to hear, wealth is but a social contract on how much it gets you in exchange. There is no absolute answer on that and it's subject to negotiati

The only way this ends is by running the process in reverse where declining asset prices reduce the gains made on the debt side. If asset prices do not decrease in a rising rate environment, then inflation cannot be controlled. We've b

What's also nice is iPhone/iPad ARM apps can run as desktop apps on M1, so when there was no native desktop app replacement sometimes there was that other native app.

It's kind of a dead end I feel. It can turn out that everything is used for everything. It's not designed so there is probably no clean decomposition nor is it necessary.

If the patents expired and it doesn't cost $400 to manufacture it then why doesn't everyone manufacture it?

What you are saying is that unless medicine is not a business anywhere, it will end up being a business everywhere.

You forgot about price. There is a lot of low-end work that doesn't even need an Air, for $500.
