I like the taste of IPAs but can't stand the hangovers if i have more than one

It turned out to be an insanely high compensation package because of the volatility of crypto

Of course the are not "taking" it either... they are issuing credit, allowing ease of purchase and providing fraud protection

and of course they never propose any "perfect" solution that they'd actually support.

Your thesis is supported by their financial statements. Their costs are indicative of a company focused on growth. As revenues continue to grow the can scale back marketing and administrative costs as a percentage of revenue to make profits potential. This company has a lot of potential based on the numbers alone... the real problem is the uncertainty in the market for ride and the tech

Trying overly hard to make something seem more objective is in a sense an obfuscation of what you really think. Sometimes you need to cut the BS and tell people what's actually on your mind.

In my experience there are two types of coworkers: those that respond well to BS (read: couched language) and those that don't. You just have to recognize who is who.

Inflation is MV = PQ... you are commenting only on the M which is money supply. You have to factor in the other variables, notably V or the rate of spending. If V remains low, then M can increase without significant inflation.

>It's a complex interaction of millions of individual decisions and interrelated changes over a period of decades in a way that's not reproducible.

Somewhat incidentally this is the major theme of Tolstoy's masterpiece War and Peace

canned fruit can have a lot of added sugar though

I've eaten the same meal for lunch almost everyday for the last two months: https://www.reddit.com/r/GifRecipes/comments/8trml3/one_pan_...

I did it for health and weight loss reasons but it's also very tasty, easy to prepare and cheap! Highly recommend!

Seemingly relevant, this recent meme being shared in China: https://twitter.com/ianbremmer/status/998932355527139328

Depends how you define "sales staff". They need to sell their product in order to make money and they certainly have employees who provide a conduit for customers to buy JIRA.

Their sales costs are low, but maybe not having more sale people is negatively affecting revenue growth?

I remember my first time using Alaskan's self check-in kiosks... it was a revelation

Occam's Razor: 1. Revenue Problem or 2. Neo-Luddite Problem?

So his advice is to build a great product?

Your theory directly contradicts the Efficient Market Hypothesis. If "dumb money" is flowing in to large cap funds, institutional investors should be able to take advantage.

>Personally, I think it makes the most sense to sell outright a few of the most valuable properties and use the money to make the necessary capital repairs on the rest of the system. If enough of those empty apartments can be fixed up, it might not even be a net loss of public housing

Did you miss the part about the 200,000 family waiting list for public housing?

How about simply adequately funding the Housing authority so under privileged people can live an a decent home?

Beats had $1.5 Billion in annual revenue in 2013. Beats + Apple Watch were < $1b revenue in Q3 alone.

The reason it is kept secret is presumably because the general public has difficulty seeing the ancillary benefits (reduction of trade barriers) and pays close attention to the obvious drawbacks (IP rights for "evil" corporations). This contention is fairly well supported by a cursory read through this or any other internet thread about a trade agreement.

Whether the good in the TPP outweighs the bad is an open question that I don't have an answer to. I am just trying to provide some counter arguments to an otherwise one-sided discussion on here.

Maybe the best way to ensure access to medicine is by providing economic opportunities to the worlds most impoverished citizens. In other words, if the trade off is say a 10% increase in per capita GDP in exchange for less access to generics, maybe the former is better than the latter?

Poking around on here reminded me that nickb used to be everywhere and then disappeared. It also reminded me that almost everyday we see well thought out predictions on here that are almost all going to be wrong.

Point 1 reminds me of Steve Jobs' famous line" "Real Artists ship".

I haven't actually entered a bank in years thanks in large part to software development. I think it's kind of 'fun' to take picture of a check and deposit it.

Yes because as we all know email is exclusively the domain of the young, idle Bourgeoisie

I would think for graphic design work the extra resolution would be well worth the extra price.

The Studenten-BahnCard saves you a ton of money on train travel too

One "problem" we have occasionally in Berlin: People enrolling as students without actually attending classes to get all the added benefits of being a student in Germany. Almost everything over here carries a student discount.

you have your wish:

I wonder if the bad things you mention are a large part of what makes the site popular...

Some would argue all the things he mentioned are growth activities. Employees are a vital resource... taking care of them can be valuable and can attract new talent as well
