The first "useful" program I ever wrote was in QBasic. In 5th or 6th grade (can't recall which), for spelling assignments, we'd be given a list of words and we'd have to write them 10 times each. I asked the teacher

I think he's saying a customer will ask "is Instacart cheaper than Walmart" and the answer is "no", so there isn't a place for Instacart to fit, assuming Amazon owns the high-end side with Whole Foods (although

The theory is that if the post office contacts the police, the police will have the post office confirm the delivery, which you could then deny. There was a Cleveland Indians player a few years that had a big package of pot delivered to his

When you get into rural areas, you often times see houses that are built on roads that are 45-55 mph speed limits. They're main through ways but people build on them, often times either farms or former farms that were lotted off.

There are lots of places where I live that are like this. It's fairly common in rural areas. I'm assuming it's designed to make mail delivery easier on the drivers.

It's not available to me yet. Besides the old 3-month limit, the other annoyance was the search terms they provided would cut in and out. So sometimes they'd give you SERP info on certain keywords and then a few months later, they

I found it a bit clunky, personally, but you can't complain too much about free when the alternatives are rather expensive. The majority of A/B tests I run are not "visual" and based on javascript DOM changes, along with

It was a different time, but probably not that different figuratively. Things like Shatner taking Priceline stock to be their spokesperson played into the dot-com mania narrative of the time, but now that's seen as a shrewd business mo

I think this latest pump brought in a lot of Regular Joe speculators. Not sure if that can be repeated again, but I guess all those Regular Joes now have Coinbase accounts, so maybe.

Is there any evidence the price should have went from $1k to almost $20k other than hysteria and fraud? If not, why buy?

That doesn't sound so dramatic unless you're talking about pre-split prices :) AAPL split in 2 in 2005 and had a big 7:1 split in 2014. Pre-2005 unadjusted prices are 14x! I do remember the days of $10-20 AAPL in 2003/4 when

I'm not so sure in the middle of a buying rush that people are just putting spare cash into it. But the larger point is that even if people are investing small amounts, they're doing so to ride the rush, not because they see value

With the wild price swings, Bitcoin has practically no value as anything other than a speculative investment. Are any of these people downloading Coinbase and buying coins really interested in transacting in Bitcoin or are they just buying

If NJ doesn't require a NJ ID in order to buy in-state, the differences are huge. NJ is in a much denser area than Washington, Oregon, or Colorado. Boston, DC, Philadelphia, and Baltimore are all reasonable drives away and NYC is right

I wonder how much eBay has been impacted by this type of "wedging". I would use eBay primarily to buy/sell musical instruments but Reverb took a pretty big chunk of that market and provides a better and more trustworthy exper

I have a harder time focusing in coffee shops than I do in open offices. Coffee shop noises are not really "background noises" for me. The noises I hear tend to be the people talking loudly that stick out, the people munching on f

Do solar roof tiles help this out at all, under the assumption that you'd be replacing your roof anyway? Is the labor cost of replacing with solar tiles in line with the price to replace a shingle roof?

A commenter above said they ADDED a million accounts in June. I assume they had some multiple of that already. 7 support people for millions of customers is insanely low, especially for something financial-related.
