A question, if there is someone that can answer this: It said her options were either build a ramp for $100k or settle for $60k. Who can she settle with, and who agrees that she doesn’t need to build a ramp anymore? What happens if someone

While I entirely agree with your premise. I don't think that is the best example. Given those hypothetical people, I would bet that the one who went back to his homewtown actually enjoys his life, while the other is miserable, but surr

In order to counter these risks, we prefer going to doctors and hospitals that are so busy (and highly regarded) they don’t have time for bullshit. Of course it helps being in a large city with many options and excellent insurance. Without

Where do you get that? And 10% of what? If someone books a day, yes, the cleaning fee is more than 10% of that. Don’t like it? Go get a hotel where it’s baked into every night.

As someone with a six month old, there is no thriving. I was a zombie for the 4 months or so, and we’re lucky. Our baby started sleeping through the night at three months. My sleep has not recovered, and I don’t expect it will for a few yea

If you live somewhere where there are sailboats, there is likely US Sailing or American Sailing Association classes available, which are definitely worth it. If there’s a yacht club, they will usually have races where they need crew, and wh

Wtf? It is completely different. Before Uber, you had to call dispatch, give them your location or your closest estimate of it: dispatch would then manually try to find a car that was available and send them to you. This usually took at lea

It absolutely is bad for you in the long term. However, given everything else, that might still be their option. Ie: work 12-16 hours of labor to put food on the table, then study so then get a better job a few years down the road, vs work

I'm going to second what achenatx said. - Having smart locks means I don't have to give out keys, and I can change lock codes remotely. - Having a smart thermostat means not only can I change it remotely (once they've checked

On the other hand, by having customers pre-pay, the restaurant is making sure that there are not reserved seats left empty due to no-shows, which means they are more likely to serve a full restaurant, they have a better idea ahead of time

More than likely, that app is used to either launder funds or get money out of stolen credit cards.

Remember the following: HR is not your friend. HRs duty is to the company. If what you need and what the company needs are on the same page, sure, HR is on your side, but if not, they will do whatever it is that benefits and protects the co

Uh, being fast is not easy nor cheap. And once you are fast, you have to stay fast. Remaining fast is not easy or cheap either. Sure, if you have the part that’s really hard to get right, making money is then really easy.

And they’re the first to start buying as well. You want to see what happens without HFT. Look at the crash in 89, when human market makers would no longer answer their phones because they did not know what was going on in the market. Instea

What happens is, first, speed is still an issue because life and news do not happen on 1-second intervals. So readers will wait til as late as possible to make sure they have up to date info and then send their orders as late as possible. S

Zero benefit. They were not like human calculators, but more like middlemen, mainly because access to the markets was difficult. Now as everything has become more efficient, humans are replaced by algos, which are way cheaper. In turn, they

I beg to differ with that statement. I'd say life doesn't really begin until you're on your own, so around 18 for me, but I'd really say that life picked up around the late 20s, early 30s. So, at 37, if I look at everyth

For people wondering how this can be of any benefit to Fidelity, here's a couple options: 1) They lend the stock to shorters and make money off the interest. 2) They get people into their ecosystem. As most people don't keep a doz

Alcohol has a non-trivial chance of making someone completely addicted to it, along with side effects that can ruin the lives of bystanders. Does that mean no one should ever take alcohol as well? The world is not black and white.
