Unlike those real-world counterparts, they don't make money. Also unlike the real-world ones, they're making loans so risky that they're apparently having issues selling even the highest-rated ABS tranches right now.

I appreciate the discussion, but I don't really see the evidence in the numbers for these companies over the last decade or so, maybe it appears on a 20-30 year timeframe. Their gross margins and SG&A haven't changed significa

Pendleton still manufactures fabric in the US - although some product lines are probably made in China these days. The fact is none of these companies have much in the way of margins, if you want higher quality, you just have to spend more.

There's quite a bit of that. Pendleton, Duluth Trading, Lands End to name a few in the US. A lot of them offer very boxy fits, but whole categories like workwear are basically "durable and reliable clothing" - or at least pre

Unlikely, seems like it would be a huge antitrust issue. Google can't dictate what OEMs install either.

3.3% for LG last quarter, that 2018 number is better than anything they've seen in the last 2 years. Samsung is losing money manufacturing panels, but their reports are a mess. For comparison, Apple is at 31%, Walmart is at 4.5%.

With AC and a relatively congested area, I see 1/2 under poor conditions, 2/3+ normally. For example, forcing 144.4 Mbps negotiated (or 130 Mbps, one side is misreporting it) gives stable 100 Mbps throughput. Worth noting that a d

In my opinion, the big problem is that police unions have a clear goal: protect their members and advocate for their interests, like most unions. The people on the other side are much more ambivalent and don't really care what happens;

I'd say this is partly demographic/generation shifts, unions have extremely strong support among younger age groups and this is just one of the first visible results. Teamsters, to name one union, just had leadership change over a

Why is the "fair price" not significantly higher than it was 2 months ago, for short-dated futures? Supply is temporarily disrupted, all input costs are significantly higher, and it's a very inelastic market because elasticit

The one difference is that most of big tech these days doesn't actually have any competition, and will collude in ways like wage fixing in any areas they do. As such, it's not too surprising to see they don't care about compe

It's a great business model for multiplayer games. They live and die on the basis of network effects, and gating access behind a $25-60 upfront payment means most games die from gradual attrition - which is just sad to watch happen whe

It's cheaper than fiber internet here. Costs less for the same bandwidth, without a contract and without data caps - unlike the wired option. Assuming the latency is usable, unlike 4G, it's starting to be a very competitive option

Seems like it does, but the size restrictions are crafted so it only applies to Facebook/Meta and not any of the smaller platforms.

Signal, Twitter, Snapchat, Discord, Zoom, etc won't be affected. Maybe even TikTok. It's basically just anything by Google/Apple/Facebook/Amazon, and perhaps a few odd ones like Steam and Epic's services.
