Just buy s&p500 index funds (or total market index funds). A crash won’t affect your long term retirement plans. You only have to worry about a crash <10 years before retirement.

The reason their are low caps like 22GB is because LTE networks have limited bandwdith. These 5G networks will have 10X bandwidth. Eventually, the carriers will increase bandwidth caps.

How much time do you think the average person actually spends waiting for a download? Most of my software updates run in the background. Xbox/Steam is the only thing I notice downloading and I usually just play a different game if it n

Back when I had gigabit, it seemed like Xbox servers were by far the limiting factor in Xbox One downloads (either that or the peering between Verizon and MS servers). I'd rarely get over 100mbps, though I could saturate a usenet serv

The transmission lines are half-duplex on a channel by channel basis. At any given time you can either use a channel for upload or download, but not both. And usage is very asymmetric. It's more efficient to thus allocate more chann

And 720p or even 480p looks pretty fine on small ass screen. I left Tmo's throttling on so I wouldn't blow through my 6gb too quickly.

That's not really accurate either. Netflix's ISP didn't have the bandwidth available. That was the whole dispute. Their ISP wanted a free peering agreement and Comcast just refused.

That's a good reason to believe in climate change (and I think its even well north of 90%). But that isn't a reason to create climate blasphemy laws. Because the scientists could easily be wrong about a lot of it. History is lit

The scientific consensus re climate change isn't anywhere near that gloomy in the short term range. We've already had nearly 1 degree C increase since 1975 and it hasn't been a disaster yet. I think the far bigger problem wil

Exactly. I'm an incompetent programmer. I took about 4 classes at university on CS and a lot of my EE courseload used some programming. So I've written smaller programs, I've made a simulator of an 8-bit processor. I even

I hate open kitches and I really hate large islands that are sort of intended to be used for eating at. They are not nearly as comfortable to eat at as a table.

Derivative works aren't fair use and aren't really related to fair use. Derivative works are like writing a new Harry Potter book or making a new Batman movie.

And this point isn't even up for debate. Present value calculations essentially prove that a copyright long-tail provides minimal benefit to a corporation. Especially since long-tail sales are incredibly rare. So it a 1/200,000 sh

Not to get too political, but the FBI actually revised their memo clearing her because they accidentally used language which would have established she met all the elements of a crime. I.e. they used the words "grossly negligent"

18 year olds don’t have much income or assets, outside of special cases. If you want to give financial aid to “poor students” there really isn’t any other way to do it.

The biggest problem is cost. We shouldn’t devote a cent more funding to colleges without requiring massive spending and tuition cuts. Even public colleges resemble country clubs. That’s great, but we shouldn’t tax non-college grads so kids

I don't mind tipping, but if I'm paying the delivery guy myself, then what the hell is postmates charging me a delivery fee for? I have no idea what I'm paying for and who gets what. It's confusing. So i've been jus

>The usual explanation for tipping is that the minimum wage for tipped employees is lower than the non-tipped minimum wage (sometimes as low as $2.13). People get the cause and effect backwards on that. The minimum wage is lower because

The problem is that removal of tipping, pretty much just hurts the employees. Customers will probably pay less. Employers will be a bigger cut of the customers actual spending. Very few restaurants would pay an hourly wage that is equivalen

Yes, the new patent can only cover the new improvement. The issue is that doctors keep proscribing the newer, slightly improved methods. Trying to evergreen on purpose is also dangerous since your competitor can patent an improvement on you

It's ~17,000 --> ~70,000 in the last twenty years. Also, since a lot of these deaths happen early, they have a greater impact the life expectancy rate. One person dying 55 years earlier from a heroin OD has the same impact as 11 peo
