Banks have legally mandated reserve requirements. Is it time for companies in certain FRB (Frequently Requiring Bailouts) industries to also have some level of required cash reserves? What would be some arguments against, apart from ye olde

So the highest paid provincial governors were typically getting paid $3B over 18 years? Sounds kind of high and makes me rather dubious of how the $15B figure is calculated.

The price point is nice, but my wife, who is holding on to her SE for dear life, will be disappointed in the increase in size. I still think if Apple had made an SE 2 with a 4.7" all-screen phone, which would be closer to the dimension

Agree completely. All of us accumulate useless junk to various degrees in our lives. The extremely wealthy just tend to have junk that looks extremely nice, but no more useful than the Bluetooth shower speaker I got for Christmas that’s nev

The Peloton wife would like a word with you... But in all seriousness, it sounds like a Peloton bike might be a good fit for you. You don’t need to leave the house and the live classes should alleviate some boredom. It can probably even hel

An acronym that’s pronounceable is more likely to become popular, e.g. LAMP, CRUD, etc. I guess you could say PNGR like “pinger”, but it’s a bit awkward. So I suggest a slightly modified acronym: PRNGL, pronounced as “Pringle”. The L of cou

Yes, but it’s an hour of painfully boring work that demands care and correctness. And at the end of it, you’re just with another bank that may or may not be better.

I think you’re being downvoted because what you state is contrary to what most people have heard: i.e. that inventory for the same SKU from different sellers is in fact commingled. You might want to provide some citations if you want to con

Doesn’t this describe most students with roommates, or teens with siblings, or parents with children, or people who doze off on public transport, or...? The plausible scenarios seem pretty much endless.

Stock price is down 26% in the past year. Either the CEO wants to show that serious steps are being taken to right the ship or the CTO is leaving for greener pastures. Since the article quoted the CTO as saying that he’s starting his ventur

It’s a great Swiss-army-knife of a terminal. One annoying thing that I’ve lived with for years is that it won’t start on my second monitor. I always have to move its window after starting it. I tried to file a bug years ago, but couldn’t fi

I once heard a haggling tip when buying something: make an initial offer, when the seller make a counter offer, walk away. Then go back a little later and offer slightly less than your first offer. The psychological effect is to make the

Vacations and home renovations: the true cost is at least 20% higher than the budgeted cost. Then there’s healthcare in the U.S., where you can’t budget anyway, and the true cost is anywhere from 200% of what seems reasonable all the way to

Thanks for sharing your real world experience. For the sake of clarity, is that a million monthly figure for your entire site or for just Brave users? If the former, would you be willing to share the number or percentage of Brave users?

If MS is serious about this, I’d like to see them make Rust a first class option for Windows kernel development. There are a lot of drivers that really should be “rewritten in Rust”.

That’s a nice feature, and I hope other browsers will adopt something similar soon. Also looking forward to the password generator that’s finally coming in Firefox 69. On a slight tangent, I wish the major browsers would agree on an interop

Frequency differences can explain a (small) part of it, but I think a larger part comes down to market positioning and signaling vs competing Intel chips. The TDP is sort of an indicator of the overall "beefiness" of the chip. Edi

IIRC, Intel’s 10nm is measured differently than TSMC’s 7nm, so they are actually more or less at the same node. By some measurements, Intel 10nm is actually smaller than TSMC 7nm. I think some significant part of AMD’s manufacturing advanta

I find that my hunger level during fasting depends greatly on my level of hydration. And learning to like black coffee and plain tea helps a lot since they can feel more “substantial” than plain water.

Or how about the student who’s taking an extra semester to finish a double major? Anyone who missed out on this deal must be feeling pretty sad. This is why we can’t only rely on philanthropy to solve systemic problems.

While I’m happy for the students and appreciate the “pay it forward” message, I am just shocked that the collective debt for 396 students is $40 million. That’s $100k per student on average , just for a bachelor’s degree. How could this be

You know, I would much rather see the super wealthy spend mroe millions on art than buying yet another super-yacht or Gulfstream. Art probably has a much smaller carbon footprint than most other forms of conspicuous consumption.
