but a stock is partial ownership of a real business, which has revenue and owns other assets

also some would only put a snippet in their RSS feed rather than the whole article

So there's the argument that all housing that is affordable now was luxury when it was new. New is at least somewhat inherently luxury.

Banning such would be like banning new cars to keep the price of cars down

FTA: "intended to send the computer device to a friend in Russia, who then planned to sell the device to SVR, Russia’s foreign intelligence service"

Whole Foods was doing that before Amazon bought them, and so was literally every other supermarket or retail chain

crowdsupply is almost entirely just making pcbs, which are literally the most straightforward thing in the world to get manufactured

maybe firing random neurons keeps the connections alive

they're also administering these shots out at a much faster rate relative to delivery whereas we've only administered less than 20% of the doses that have been delivered so far (11.4 million delivered, 2.1 million administered). The delivery rate should only increase especially even as there are several more vaccines in the pipeline so being able to actually administer the delivered doses may be the bottleneck moving forward.

also, book value, though it's usually much smaller than market cap. if a stock ever fell below its book value you could buy it out and liquidate its assets to make money, so the book value should be a price floor for the stock.

slowly transition your assets away from growth stocks to bonds and dividend-issuing stocks as you age

Pfizer wanted to release as quickly as possible and didn't want to bother doing another study to tell

IG was tiny at the time, not the behemoth it is today. They hadn't even released on Android yet.

The German tank problem is easier because it assumes the tanks have sequential serial numbers.

they know that most purchased books never actually get read so they're afraid of pricing models that are based on how much people actually read. they're used to being able to sell dead trees and not having to worry about that.

There's only one, and it's a human-animal hybrid with a bird head

One thing that strikes me as possibly interesting about this is that there are human figures depicted, something that strangely virtually never appears in cave art.

did they place the charge directly underneath rather than in such a way that it would blow the wreckage directionally out to sea?

One random thing: one of the photos in the announcement has a Chinese (I think) keyboard layout https://www.apple.com/newsroom/images/product/mac/standard/A...

yet rent is less than half of that of San Francisco or New York

fwiw finding a recycling center in California is a pain. It's not like in the northeast where many supermarkets have can/bottle recycling machines. Homeless can collectors often sell the cans for 50% of the value or less to some guy with a pickup truck who can actually get to wherever the far-off recycling center is.

Except for the train tunnels themselves which are only double tracked instead of quad tracked

One thing I've always wondered about was SFMTA's giant underground stations that could fit six actual Muni trains on the platforms, or the giant Caltrain+BART station at Milbrae that could fit about 2.5 times as many trains as it actually ever does.

very possible. it could be a lose-lose-lose. but in any event it's more complicated than just trying to juice auction prices as a cash grab.

If there were no reserve price there would be eight ads on every single search no matter how abstruse the search and irrelevant the ads were to it. Especially since currently only a small percent of searches have ads, Google could actually make more money that way, but everyone wound find it really annoying.

Why do managers spend 70% of their time on mysterious external meetings? What are they actually doing?

maybe it's not about what the workers want, it's that it ends up allowing so many new companies to start up that wouldn't have otherwise
