Interesting solution, do you have one? Doesn't transmitting through FM significantly degrade the audio quality? I can definitely hear the difference between FM radio music and music from the MP3 on the CDs.

I don't really consider them a force of nature as they are not a mindless mob, but a military with a general executing strategies. A mindless mob would be much less of a threat.

Surely I can't be the only one who still have cars which do not stream music, and so I have to put MP3s on CDs and USB sticks. Also, my wireless earbuds have built-in storage, so I load a bunch of music onto it and work out without car

You bring up a few good points with your post. First is that expenses are crucial in helping to determine how the company is doing. You might have mortgage and maintenance expenses that put you in the red, despite your greater than $1k MRR.

Are you referring to the phone holder in the car? I can see how a phone holder with a magnetic charging cable can give similar functionality, with the addition that the home charger would also need to be magnetic so that there is no need to

It's super convenient for me to drop my phone in the phone holder when I get in my car and have it start charging, and to just take it out of the holder when I exit my car, without having to plug and unplug the phone. It's differe

It is likely a local effect, as taxi hailing apps have succeeded in countries where ridesharing has failed, such as South Korea. I don't know the exact mechanisms behind the different circumstances, but as I said before, I believe the

I would guess that it's not ridesharing, but app-based hailing which reduced drunk driving, by reducing the friction of hailing a ride. There is also the added effect of there being more vehicles available, which reduced wait times, bu

Definitely all the numbers have lots of leeway, and you can play with different scenarios to get different results. However, changing the MPG from 15 to 25 would make only a small difference ($17/mon difference in gas), and my point is

I think it goes beyond the relationship, as a marriage is a commingling of finances and legal rights. A marriage is a common way to achieve pooling of resources and division of labor, with a long-term outlook for the benefit of all parties.
