"the subsidies on the car were negligible " $14000 in Ontario.

A subsidized car, a government contract limited run space shuttle and some house tiles and batteries that didn't quite take off. Objectively, the stock is overhyped, and somebody will retire nicely from shorting it fairly soon.

Not sure what's with the downvote, but you are in essence right about going long. "Markets can remain irrational a lot longer than you and I can remain solvent." As for BTC, approach with caution, short or long.

As the era of high interest rates is about to return, this 'right to repair' will be more pronounced. Not because of some ideology, but because people will have to repair electronics.

It would be a bit of a learning curve, but certainly doable. Especially if you find a schematics that you want to assemble and try to follow the instructions and assembly. It can be like a giant puzzle with too many rules. But doable. If n

You are all missing a key point: food additives and misleading advertising. Here in Canada: Carrots can have added orange paint, legally disclosed on the packaging. Yogurt can be from other stuff that milk. Bread has to be labeled as &#x27

Under "otherwise", I suggest applying hygiene to the multitude ideas we have for projects. Treat them as flowers in a garden. Cultivate some, weed out others. The most focus should be on the few that flourish best, and they'l

I knew a person that didn't want to understand how a car works. Drove it without an oil change until the engine died fast. For cars, software and generally living on this planet, the more one doesn't understand, the more they&#x27

Nah, the high-margin vs "what the market can bear in terms of margin", are in conflict. Textbooks reaching $200 is the problem.

It depends how you look at it: 1. I would contribute to GCC because it's still "free". 2. I would have contributed to Caddy, but now they are half commercial, so I'm disinclined to provide my "free" to their c

It's also the userbase or the marketing there (unsure which one). I was in Sweden few years ago, gislaved / hestra, and overall nothing else was being sold besides iPhone. It came as a shock to me. Only one of the tech toys stores

It's a TOS, worded for PR, besides which it's unenforceable and at the whim of GitHub. It's like building a business on Google Reader or FB Parse.
