I think even more than that they simply do not have a choice. Yes, it sucks that Apple's suppliers are unethical, but what am I supposed to do if I want to Snapchat my girlfriend or talk to my friends, or have a phone that is compatibl

If you are upper middle class it is possible to pay zero taxes. Between tax loss harvesting, 401ks, opportunity zones, and LLC formation, a citizen can legally pay no taxes some years. It's a bit of a learning curve but none of the mec

"One of the big reasons for UBI is the belief that an individual can better assess their own needs and wants, and procure them more cheaply than the government" Perhaps, but many of the major problems we have today are tragedy of

Does anyone actually use stocks? I mean, it's not like I can show up at AAPL and demand their espresso maker because I own enough shares of their stock. The "partial ownership of the business" is a complete myth. In reality,

A vast majority of transactions don't need to wait for a full confirmation, simply existing in the mempool is enough. Just like my electric bill doesn't need to wait for the ACH transfer to complete before it's considered pai

Right, but it redistributes demand around. Ever been to a busy boardwalk with people hired to call out and give samples out to get people to come in? It's an arms race like that, it redistributes the demand of eating on the boardwalk,

Honestly I'm surprised more people aren't burnt out on this. I can only be angry and get triggered by the same bullshit for so long before it just doesn't work.

Yep, I laughed the other day when I saw an article in WSJ that was talking about a billion dollar business responsible for putting drug ads in doctors offices. That billion dollars is coming from somewhere and I think I have a good idea of

The same people that are paying 1bn to build unprofitable housing? (I have to assume the housing is unprofitable or else it wouldn't be so difficult to build it)

Or just highlight the word and a spelling correction will be suggested, or just use the backspace when you make the mistake instead of continuing to type.

Hmm interesting. I always knew I had to press and hold with different pressure on songs in my library to pull up different menus but I didn't realize that this is what that was. Thanks

Another anecdote, but I was in Shanghai last month and they recently started an initiative to sort trash/recyclables much more strictly. The people I was staying with were telling me that they could be fined if they don't properly
