There may be unintended consequences in forcing successful founders to over time sell down a controlling stake in their company.

It should be possible to target this. Have it kick in say over $10 million or when a loan is backed by existing rather than new assets purchased with the loan.

Mostly useless, same questions and same answers every time. The media is trying to spin some narrative and the players/ coaches just throw out the same old lines. F1 for example is loaded with media that the drivers are required to par

Yeah, some people post good stuff but their signal to noise ratio is just too low. Not much choice but to unfollow them.

SpaceX is saving the US government heaps of money. Sure you could argue about spending on things in the first place. Assuming though we are talking about who to award to contracts to though they have saved heaps on just giving the extra wor

This seems like an issue on the Twitter implementation side. I don't know how the newer PayPal API handles it but on the one I am familiar with. NOSHIPPING 1 — PayPal does not display shipping address fields and removes shipping inform

We were one of the first on having overseas companies signup and remit GST directly for low value personal imports. NZ/UK have copied this model and the EU is following mid this year. The scheme has a special definition for marketplace

Yeah in Australia the successful shopping centers have all renovated and attracted more up market stores and restaurants.

Are those EVs that are going to become decent sub $20k buys at say 5 years old even in existence yet? Even if they are there aren’t enough of them being sold new yet. I seems to me probably another 5 years to get enough volume in solid lowe

I think a lot of it is just believing in the goals. If we want to see humans going to Mars in any larger capacity than a one off mission in our lifetimes, Spacex seems like the only path to that. Elon is a complicated figure, but no one els

As that article states it was potentially a useful source for age and gender demographic data. Google Analytics has this as well but I’d assume more people have given more precise data about their age and gender to Facebook than they have t

It really depends what is running. By default on Ubuntu at least it has a service that is blocking waiting for a network connection.

I would think if some of these companies really had cracked some kind of method to double the productive output of their employees that they would have a massive advantange on their competition and grow to be some of the biggest companies i

In that case there was scarcity in the game. A limited number of people could display these on their profiles/ complete a collection. Compared to a Tweet that anyone can view and that the buyer has no control over it doesn’t seem to be

Yeah my experience was that it could be a bit of a pain with cancellations but there were enough cars on the road that I would always eventually get a ride.

Any studies on this? Things I have seen in the past seem to point to theoretical risks at massive intakes. I get the impression that sugar free sodas are going to be better than going over a reasonable daily sugar intake but could well be w

The expensive bit is that most vegans want to broadly maintain the flavors and textures of a animal products diet without the animal products.

In effect probably nearly all their traffic goes to landing pages targeting certain terms. Then primarily either bounces or exits immediately via an affiliate link. So it probably doesn’t matter much how the front page is presented as it is

Interesting as well that the actual voyage is pretty cheap, compared with the local transits and the various port and filing fees at each end.

In Australia with COVID mostly eliminated we are still seeing numbers that would indicate a step change in the portion of retail happening online. The slow move towards online seems to have been accelerated by a few years.

Bought a WiFi light bulb for fun years back, it died and they replaced it then it recent died again and I just went back to a standard bulb. Even when it worked it would periodically lose connection the the WiFi and need a reset, assuming t

Yeah, might be okay for small overseas businesses to ignore economic nexus of US states, but I am sure some states will eventually go to great lengths to get their hands on big liabilities built up by big companies.

Interesting, wouldn’t AliExpress be building up big potential sales tax liabilities with US states?

It is pretty simple though, either they negotiated some stock based component to their compensation when they started and would be getting payout, or they didn't and they have been fully compensated by their salary.

With 150 million ballots both sides could easily find individuals that may have had legitimate issues with voting. As to something systematic they don’t seem to have found anything.

Biden got out to around $4-$5 during election night. I wouldn’t put much weight in the betting when it appeared to fail to account for the expected composition of postal votes. Trump should have been at best a slight favorite before the eff

May have been grey market goods, which is bound to be problematic on Amazon for branded high end fashion.

Amazon in Australia has had great delivery times during Covid as they run their own Uber like app for people delivering in their own cars.

Sounds like he left it to the last minute though hoping that the account would be reinstated. Given the fees to remove he wouldn’t have wanted to until it seemed certain that he wasn’t getting the account back. There are companies like ship

Sounds like the inventory is fine. The issue with fake claims on Amazon is that they don’t seem to be percentage based, so whether you sell 1000 items or 100k items the 4 fake claims might still get you suspended. They will also reject invo
