> ... Our interpretation of these ndings is that cabdrivers (at least inexperi- enced ones): (i) make labor supply decisions “one day at a time” instead of inter- temporally substituting labor and leisure across multiple days, and (ii) set a loose daily income target and quit working once they reach that target
MariaDB might now be taken private for just a fraction of that investment - $37M.
>Vince Kosuga was an onion farmer back in the 1930s. A pretty successful one. But farming wasn't enough for him. He also liked to make bets on wheat and other crops. Then he had an idea: Why not try his luck with the crop he knew best?

> Amazon says this is secure in two ways. First, the company transmits only an encoded abstraction of your hand scan, in a proprietary format, which can’t be used to reproduce an image of your hand that could be stolen, even if attackers could get at it. Second, the company says it protects this data with the same systems that protect user data and credit-card information on Amazon.com itself.

I've seen some fleets plan their fuel stops using software to take advantage of fuel card discounts they get at certain gas stations, which helps stretch the single digit margins you mentioned. I can see this kind of software being extended to EV charge planning as well.

My two recent Datasette use cases:
1) My sales team had to come up with a list of potential clients (businesses) that owned a certain number of vehicles, transported a certain kind of cargo, and operated in certain geographies etc. Excel could not be used, since the filesize was a couple of GBs. With Datasette, the sales team was able to create multiple filters without knowing SQL. It also created great looking interactive maps.
2) An elderly friend of mine wanted to explore his apple watch heart rate (EKG) data, since he was experiencing an irregular heartbeat. After importing apple health kit data into Datasette, my friend was able to ascertain the period where he had an irregular heartbeat. He also exported data for that time period and shared it with his doctor.
There is an option in the settings page to set the frequency of vehicle breakdowns to low or none.
As counterintuitive as it seems, the book actually recommends buying stocks in a bear market since they are priced reasonably. Warren Buffet's famous quote comes to mind: “Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.” The book also talks about the importance of long-term investing and discipline.
