I would argue that in no point in history has it been easier to make a living producing things that other's want to view than today. You can make a very high quality movie with an inexpensive computer or even a phone, youtube will host

There are plenty of characters that aren't still under copyright. Sherlock Holmes, Norse and Greek Mythological heroes, Winnie the Pooh (now), most of the fairy tale stories (which Disney used early on) and a huge number of other chara

Disney doesn't own the rights to Pinocchio. You are free to make your own movie with book version of the the characters and the story. Carlo Collodi was dead by 1890 so Disney definitely didn't "swoop in" and benefit at

Assuming that everyone is acting in their own best interest, then a 36%+ interest rate would only be used by someone who is in a situation where it is better than their alternatives. If the option was not available, then they wouldn't

> this could have been a watershed moment for online instruction There are some private schools that are 100% virtual that are doing this incredibly well, but I don't know any public schools that fall into that category.

Perhaps a lot of school is social, extracurricular activities, etc. but if you strip all of that away you are left with the core educational content. That core is what was being taught remotely where the parents could observe. Some parents

As someone who routinely crosses state lines, I can't imagine what type of situation would make the need to get an abortion such a common occurrence that it would be the sole factor in deciding what state you'd live in.

The number of ports on a mac seem inversely related to how much Jony Ives was involved in its creation.

Yes that is interesting. Maybe it would have made the notch bigger? :)

This was my biggest concern. Having the option to use MagSafe is much better than always being required to carry around yet another charger.

If you will do something different with a 5 than with an 8 then yes. If not, then the ambiguities you describe will be worked out when you do the work. It is just a vanity metrics if the results doesn't change what you work on next. It

The closer the numbers are together the more time is wasted trying to be exact about them. Fib helps reduce the amount of back and forth. If you need to guess how much something weighs and your options are 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14..

The WebEx deskcam is nice but doesn't have an option for as narrow of field of view as their previous webcams. Also Microsoft Teams hates it and will only use the lowest resolution which is a pain when you have a 4k camera.

I'd consider narrow depth of field a plus when it comes to a camera that is supposed to be showing my face.

I think the key is that Buffet knows what makes him happy and isn't running around spending money on random things trying to figure out what expensive thing would make him happier.

There are financial instruments if you want to die with nothing while having plenty of money when you are alive. If you think it is a terrible thing for a grandparent to want to leave money for their grand child's college tuition, then

Maybe, but most people who do have the option to save 70% of their take home pay don't. Perhaps our definition of what it means to live comfortably is partially to blame. I know a family of 10 that live very comfortably in a small 3 be

The title of the article says that they aren't pursuing employment. The fact they are living at home is explaining how they do that. At least in the article I read it as being stigma against people just staying at their parents homes
