I think saying that the rent is market rate doesn’t really eliminate the transfer of value away from WeWork shareholders. First, you can’t exactly calculate market rate, and rates are normally determined by a…
Are you counting the run up to the current prices in your 10% return calculation? That seems kind of circular.
Gaslighting is where an abuser says and does unexpected things that make the abused doubt their perceptions and sanity. I learned about it in film class in college. Suddenly people are using the term to describe all…
The post you responded to said the president can’t block people, so yes you’re able to read his posts. The only thing stopping you ought to be your desire to maintain sanity.
I agree with your take on human psychology, but I don’t think you’re right about it requiring infinite growth. If I get a new phone every year, that’s not actually growth. That contributes the same amount of GDP each…
Can the counterfeiter just copy your new SKU?
From practical experience, it’s very common for people to find their phone (iPhone or other) burning through tons of battery when they go out in the sticks, and this is reliably fixed by turning off cellular data. So…
I have some friends who have said it to me in person too. I wonder which of them are the shills?
I think police searching databases for low-quality evidence like tire track, shoe prints, and fiber analysis is a very dodgy practice, for these exact reasons. The key is the specificity of the match, and I don’t think…
I’m concerned because probability is not intuitive. Suppose a store is robbed, and there’s a video. The police identity some suspects - the guy who just got out of jail for robbing the same store, and another person the…
The way it was explained to me is: you use the Gilead card to pay you copay, and that counts toward your deductible. So, my last post was wrong to use the word “reimburse”.
My friend who’s on a high-deductible plan says they reimburse you for the portion that’s before your deductible. It’s actually kind of a sweet deal because you hit your deductible without being out any money. Then you…
Presumably people are unsubbing all day. If n is the number of emails and k is the number of unsubs, it adds up to O(n) to check the table of unsubs before sending vs. O(k*n) to scan the queue after every unsub. Or, to…
These other devices are all cheaper and less popular than the iPhone. This quarter the category that includes the AirPods and Watch made one fifth what the iPhone did. To contribute 10% of company revenue growth, this…
AAPL seems to have hit its peak in the device market, and can only grow revenues at this point by effectively raising prices on existing customers (that’s what the services category amounts to). This strategy can only…
We don’t seem to have trouble producing any number of things that depreciate in value: cars, furniture, computer. The ROI is in the difference between the cost of the inputs and the cost of the finished product. The…
I was right there with you until the last three words. Investors ought to be compensated, but there’s no particular reason that compensation should be greater than the inflation rate.
FYI google recently increased the limit to 5 mins. I found out when my streams stopped failing at 60 seconds :) Also, they definitely have incremental updates.
