Buy mid-range Motorola phones. This G4 play is the best $150 I've ever spent.
newguynewguy··on Nasdaq Acquires Quandl to Advance the Use of Alternative Data
Any advice on where an individual could purchase (even limited) access to CRSP data?

I'm working on a data-driven financial analysis blog and can't seem to find decent time-series fundamentals data now that yahoo and google have taken down their api's. Everything I find seems to be a $1000+ yearly subscription.

newguynewguy··on Ask HN: Have you ever regretted working on a product?
Many of them got to live in really big mcmansions they should not have been allowed to 'afford' for about 10 years. The labor spent building those houses could have been spent building twice as many small houses.

I'm a manager in a US restaurant. I've run the numbers and, given the maximum price increases our market could bear, the upper 3/4ths of our wait staff would make ~$1-2 less an hour than they do now.

I was also a waiter in the restaurant. I hated the stress, but could find no jobs with comparable schedule flexibility/required qualifications that paid as well.

newguynewguy··on We’re Going to Need More Lithium
GXY if you're in AUS.

GALXF (otc adr) if you're in US.

Last I checked, it's the only pure-play lithium miner that is producing and delivering.
