I am seeing a difference on a new phone. But when I turned it on my old phone everything felt the same.
I think its a clear conflict and shareholders should protest, but this happens at every level of the economy. I used to work buying small businesses. Its common for business owners to also own the building in a separate LLC. And its great to hear them complain about how they always get paid last, when they have been paid every month through rent.
St. Louis, Missouri. You have a two top schools, WashU and SLU, along with several other strong colleges. The city has become the Chess capital of the US. And you can buy a house for $450K in a walkable neighborhood that would cost well over $1M anywhere else in the US. A very underrated city.
I am looking for office space right now, and I left the local WeWork office 30 minutes ago. Its very simple, they do things a lot better. That is the space I want to rent. When I talk to cheaper office's they feel cheaper. Also their contracts are simple. I want to think about my business, not building out an office space. Finally, the fact that I now have a meeting room I can reserve in multiple cities across the globe makes it almost a no brainier.
The drawback? They really know how to jam a lot of people into a very small space, which might be why their valuation is so high.
January must be the time for these things. Very sad to see Two communities* close in the same week.
*the other community was Boatertalk. Dedicated to whitewater kayaking and ultimately lost to Facebook
I remembering learning that the most powerful force acting on a building or tree was inertia. Watching videos like this makes that much more clear.
Is it pure chance that this was posted only two or three days after I watched it along with a few other e to pi = -1 videos?
Randomness aside. 3blue1brown makes some wonderful math videos that I find really explain the intuitiveness of some of the ideas. I was unfortunately cursed with a math teacher who for whatever reason required us to memorize until we passed the test. Imaginary numbers were taught as "something that will help you in college"
I'd like to switch but she uses Quicken and a few things that won't switch over.
I finally saw the bill. From the moment she started downloading Windows 10 to the moment I told her to shut the internet off, she used 20 gigs. That's ridiculous. And there is only one computer in the house. No other devices use internet.
I'm sure phoning home only uses a small amount of data. But downloading the update and then sharing the update with others is where I think she got in trouble. Sharing is now turned off and the data is starting to normalize.
I know I won't get any money back. But I wonder how many other people ended up paying more for Windows 10 by downloading it then had they been able to purchase it on a DVD.
I think at this point she's has closer to a gig of data. Honestly the only thing I can think is that the download itself plus seeding it to other computers nearby got her to that number. But that's a guess.
Stupid question, but my Mom lives in a really rural area. Pays quite a bit for internet and is charged by the MB. Can we ask Microsoft to pay for their bandwidth usage?
Since upgrading to Windows 10 she's been hit with $200 in overages.
I hate that Bloomberg is trying to be Buzzfeed. This could be the most amazing though provoking article of all time, but I'm not going to read it when it starts with an animated Krugman GIF
Sourceforge is to Gamestop as Huffington Post is to Verizon.
Hopefully the new ownership puts an end to the site. Though I expect they will sell it to an outside investor.
I follow Bloomberg, FT, and sometimes the WSJ and I've never seen in mentioned that Dalio writes weekly updates on different global economies. I guess Ackman is getting all the press these days.
Thanks for sharing
Priceonomics. The blog that also is a startup.
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
On the first page of the book there is a cross above the M in the coauthor's name. What is that? I've seen similar markings in library books in college. Is it something librarians used before everything went digital?
Sorry for the off topic question.
