Re:What Happens to All the Stuff We Return?

If anyone is in the NYC area there's a huge store called Bingers Bargain Bins that stocks returns and overstocked items from Amazon and other retailers. They have a cool model: on Fridays inventory gets restocked and all items are $7, and the price goes down by $1 each day until everything is $1 on Tuesdays (store is closed Wed & Thu).

Those TikTok videos are usually produced or at least approved by the marketing and recruiting arms of those companies, and don't usually match employees' real day to day experience

Re:Large areas of London to be made car-free as lockdown eased
on Friday May 15, 2020 @11:19AM (#23193156)
Where I live near downtown Atlanta I'm also seeing 3-4x the normal bike traffic. We don't have very good bike lanes here so most cyclists are just riding in traffic or on sidewalks.
It feels like Atlanta wants to bike so badly; we just don't have the built infrastructure yet.

I hope this will happen soon. NYC passed a green roof law in Nov. 2019 that requires all new or extensively renovated buildings to install gardens, urban agriculture, or solar on their roofs.

I love this list! A quick typo fix: In the listing for Instacart it says “Valued at over $7s Billion”, which should be changed to just “$7 Billion”.

Their website states that they launch from a Danish Naval base and they receive help from Danish and Swedish authorities, so hopefully that means the Danish government could be open to helping out with the MTCR too.

I believe the comment was talking about any kind of active trading (i.e. picking individual stocks to buy and sell), not only HFT, which uses millisecond fluctuations in security price to make a profit.

If you're not traveling with a family, I've found hostels to be by far the best experience. They tend to be cheaper than both hotels and AirBNB, and have a very social atmosphere that's great for meeting other travelers and finding interesting off-the-beaten-path places to go.
