The nuance about DCA that is commonly missed is that lump sum gives a better return on average . The key word is average; averages hide much! When people struggle to understand that I say DCA can be thought of as a sort of insurance. You p

Best Buy has an inventory turnover ratio of approximately 6* - So clears its entire stock on average every 8 weeks. While there might be a large percentage of USB-A products currently, once a technology market shifts it's quite surpris

The most striking thing about visiting the southern industrial cities for me was how (especially towards the outskirts) they tend to build the exact same residential skyscraper several times next to each other. You just don't really se

Well how things would go if they went to court I have no idea. That's anyones guess really. But that's a different tangent. All the questions you're asking are, essentially, what would be argued on. But my point was that none

I agree with your analysis there. But my point was the patent trolling exists because the law is unfavourable. Not because there is a system of mediation in place. If the patent system should be abolished or not doesn't really relate t

I was just using an example to refute the claim that it's possible to indemnify software creators and users against 'any consequences' via a EULA. A EULA can not indemnify you against tort. I think your example is convoluted.

A software licence is a legal contract. There are many things you can not indemnify yourself against - so indemnification against 'any consequences' is not possible. Apple can not update their EULA for Apple pay, and avoid being h

I don't think that is the same - There is no claim that rules of written law always gives the most favourable outcome. But rather that the written law (or contract, in this case) allows for the reality of human error or omission by lea

In the UK at least, under case law (Hyde v Wrench, 1840), if you give a counter offer it legally voids the original offer. So if you offer to buy something for £1m and the seller responds that they will sell it to you for £2m, the original

I think an analogy more in line with the parent comment would be - if you tried to sell 30% of Apple stock in a single day would the dollar collapse, wiping out all remaining shareholder value.

Having read through all the answers here, I really think that HN is possibly not the best place to ask such a question. Solve a problem Seems to be the largest response. Solving problems is hard. If you want to earn $100k this yea

I think Collins has a more succinct definition: > Feeling or showing no mercy Ruthless doesn't have to be 'towards others' - you can be ruthless in cutting unnecessary spending.

That's fantastic, the very first shot is of my street, filmed next to the building I live in. I can't quite make out the sign on the building corner - but I'm pretty sure it's the exact same pub that's there now. It

Those two statements don't really connect. Money has value because people think it does, but also because it represents economic value. Once you can buy enough economic output to sit at the top of maslow's triangle then you'r

That has nothing to do with going to jail, nor the EU. A whole load of both public and private organisations have the right to tow your vehicle for many, many things, like simply parking in the wrong place, and you have to do the paperwork.

Yes, specific requirements differ from country to country, and invalidating your insurance and crashing your car anywhere in the world has that effect. Point is that you won't 'go to jail in the entire EU', or anything of the

This is just misleading. You do not go to jail in the EU for adding under-floor lighting to your car, nor fitting a roof rack, or any other such additional fittings. A car must pass it's MOT and have valid insurance, that is all. MOT r

In the UK the Government has an excellent loan scheme for small business right now. 6.2% over 5 years with 1 year capital break. You can theoretically get up to $29k if you are a pair. Though you do need a little more than a marketing video

Fascinating. I had absolutely no idea. As someone who lives in a property that's over 140 years old, which has been fully renovated, modernised, and improved (at a guess) maybe 10 times over its life I find the idea of housing as a dis
