Re:Ask HN: How to best take advantage of the coming recession? on Wednesday January 11, 2023 @01:10PM (#34342050)
So too lazy and incapable.

Here's hoping you got the safe and effective COVID vaccine!

Bloody hell I love it. You're never going to forget how to clean a gun now.
They do exist. You're either too lazy or incapable of using Google to find them https://www.marketbeat.com/dividends/high-yield/ Anything less than 20% yield is reliable.

"Also inflation isn't over 15% hahaha." You probably believe Chinese gdp statistics too.

Wrong again bucko. See what the great frozen north did for foreign real estate investors https://www.npr.org/2023/01/07/1147678857/a-new-two-year-ban....

This is bolshevism. https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2022-remote-work-is-killi... There are plenty of empty sky scrapers in midtown NYC. Want to know why they aren't turning them into apartments? > Building codes I'm sorry but if we want affordable housing then it's time to accept that some apartments won't have windows.
Yes OXSQ is a BDR firm I like. IEP is Carl Icahn's conglomerate that yields 15%.

Anything less than 20% is what you're looking for. If you expand to foreign markets like the UK, they're entire stock market is set up to prefer dividend payments over share price.

I avoid miners and commodity stocks like rio tinto though I did time the commodity boom correctly to get their fat dividend they had not that long ago.

"Also inflation isn't over 15% hahaha." I bet you also believe the COVID vaccines are safe and effective too.

When everyone is expecting a recession, one does not come.

Expecting higher inflation and flat to slightly reduced growth (aka stagflation). Find dividend paying stocks that actually keep up with inflation (10-20%). They exist and have track records of maintaining this pay out, you just need to find them.

Ah yes, one of those jack offs who disregard arguments because of a phone posting auto correct.

Do us a favor and get the COVID vaccines. They're safe and effective!

Maybe, just maybe instead of liveable wages we should be asking why the hell are our fixed costs so high? How about instead of jacking up wages, we lower the costs that make those untenable wages tenable. Start b eliminating real estate investors and forcing landlords OUT of residential real estate entirely. Gasp I know, denying monopoly cash to the parasite class.
Ok, so I'll have chatgpt write my 15 page research paper with citations. I'll then spend 1.5 hours rewriting and proofing it as opposed to the multiday researching, outlining, and writing I used to have to do.

And with all of that extra time, I'll study for your "exams".

Just replace chatgpt with Wikipedia, did this for 4 years of uni and another 2 at an ivy n school. No one was the wiser and now I have a cushy MBB job to show for it.

Look at Paris Hilton. Do you think she cares about subjects she doesn't know whilenshe gets chauffered around on her rolls Royce, eating meals made by a personal chef, in her Beverly hills home?

The answer is no. A life of material richness vs being poor and highly educated. Ask a postdoc this question and I bet the majority would take lifetime wealth to having to slave away in a lab.

I went through college using Wikipedia to not only make my outline but also provide citations. I'd then rewrite the articles in my own word. This greatly reduced the amount of preparation needed prior to writing. No shame, the majority of research papers done in unis are silly and regurgitation. Really technology is just getting good at eliminating busy work which will be the death kneel of liberal arts. Double rant: college is largely a waste of time for liberal arts classes.
At work so no.
Wonderful, let's make new homes even more expensive! And to those who are downvoting this, every building code requirement like this jacks up the price further. Not everyone is a SWE with a TC of $250k+ you over privileged ninnies.

Sounds like I triggered an academic. Do us a favor and get the COVID vaccines. It's "safe and effective" like running untested code directly on production.

Honestly, anything that makes ivory tower alphabet soup credentialed academics seethe is a good thing.

I'll make sure to add this one to my watch list.

Get over yourself. We have 7 days because the ancients attached the 7 classical planets to the days. Not rocket science.
Re:Why didn’t we get the four-hour workday? on Friday January 06, 2023 @06:03PM (#34282640)
Because 4 hour work days aren't tenable. Here's a novel concept Why do we have 7 day weeks?

Why don't we have a 6 day week with a 2 day weekend? That way we get the benefit of 4 working days, we can standardized the calendar to not have this 31, 28 day nonsense (30 days only), and more importantly working day lengths stay the same. We just get to the weekend faster.

I propose the day to be deleted be Saturday because Saturn's mythology is a righteous c*nt.

Here's a calendar of what a 6 day week would look like https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/calendars/images/9/93/Cale...

RTFA and not write commentary off the cuff?

Stop, I just read a random post from 1999 and seeing this makes me want to go back.
Sad that this is from 2015.
If anyone bothers to RTFA, there's a blurb in there about the 2004 UVA rape case and a hint that a former victim of the false accusation (now an investment banker) bought the archive, DMCA'd links to the archive, and then took it all down. Dare I say, dangerously based.

Dangerously based. Should start a web 3.0 design trend where we bring this all back and make big tech ux designers cringe.
My father still has and uses a juno email account. It bothers me immensely. I know another guy who still has an active aol email too. Lgr did a video where he signed onto the old aol walled gardian browser homepage before it was killed off.
