Get an iPad Pro! It's a Pro computer, according to the new commercials.

If you buy something new, isn't it reasonable to expect something is new? Not four years old and soon to be antiquated?

Anecdotally, every household I know who has gotten divorced had one of two deciding factors; either they didn't get along, or there was infidelity.

Whatever works, right?

Everyone has an opinion, very few know what they're talking about. Even fewer have experience.

Even with many years of back taxes that would be way under market value. A view lot like that in LA is easily 7 figures.

Out of curiosity, why do you buy land? Are you a property developer?

My question exactly. Let alone for $21,000??? In LA?? Missing a few zeroes for a view property like that....

> Rhinehart bought the parcel of land beneath the shipping container at auction in December for $21,300, property records show.

Wow that's some auction luck. Is anyone else amazed someone was able to buy stellar La real estate for so cheap?

Are you overweight? Do you have a history of taking quinolone antibiotics? Is your diet terrible?

Just a few thoughts, could be related. Good luck, chronic health issues suck.

Wish it were a bit more like HyperCard in its scope.

Well that is depressing.

Have to wonder what will happen with lending club in a recession.

Other than central banks (and index funds....), who would want a negative interest rate bond? And when the rest of the world is going negative why would the the fed raise rates here at home? And why on earth are governments everywhere not taking advantage of these wildly low rates to invest heavily in infrastructure and stimulus?

This is a totally surreal environment, unprecedented.

So, trade schools? Reintroducing shop class and welding into high schools? An optional 2 year program similar to national guard, but for domestic efforts?

I'm in favor of affordable higher education for those who want it, either way.

Student loans are an impending financial disaster. Over a trillion in loans outstanding not, most of which have provided no benefit and serve little more than as the modern equivalent to a high school diploma. The debt burden follows students through life and impedes home ownership, children, and other middle class consumptive activities, and as a result the demand driven economy muddles along.

What is the solution? Forgive all loans after paying 10% of salary for 10 years? I don't know, but something needs to change.

Isn't that what Apple News and Flipboard and the myriad of others that have flopped have tried to do?

What specific regulations do you have trouble navigating?

Or the "free market" solution would be to allow those calling tech support to pay an extra $50 per hour fee for priority service with a knowledgable human

Just buy Spotify already, stop beating around the bush Apple

The Federal Reserve would agree with part of your thesis, as zero interest rates and quantitative easing has caused significant asset inflation and those who are not asset holders have not benefited at all. Instead, many are now priced out of real estate, and have to pay high P/E valuations for stocks. Much higher risk to participate now.

Can San Francisco just hurry up and build some more high rises already?

Stupid question, but why shut down? Why not sell? Surely a 20 year old web property has value to someone.
