One would think the price would increase until someone would pick you up. Uber should add the ability to bid up your route--like when it's taking a long time to match you to a driver, or you want to entice a driver who is nearby so you

Exactly. I commonly enroll in Coursera classes just to get access to the video lectures for later perusal for information relevant to my work and interests.

While not an interest bearing account, investing in an index fund of global stocks should outpace housing. Investing in a REIT should roughly keep pace with housing costs.

Montreal and Quebec City seem reasonable, but this is based purely on a few web searches. I hope you end up in a place where you can start building some financial security. Also, run the numbers on long term renting in areas where housing

Perhaps grandkids should ask to move in with grandma? She might like the company. :) In seriousness, not all metro areas have seen the same huge rise in rents and property values. I can personally vouch that the Baltimore-DC region offers r

If things get seriously unaffordable as a renter, it's always possible to move somewhere more affordable. Housing, on average, rises at the rate of inflation (it's closely linked to the cost of new construction), per Robert Shille

Right. This reminds me of the series of video chat developments in Infinite Jest (description here: https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/5/18518355/infinite-jest-vid... ). Masks have started to arrive! Only a

At some point, it's a better financial move to rent instead of own. That is true in many American cities (much of NYC, for example). Housing bubbles happen. Try not to buy into one.

I'm a bit surprised that negative nominal interest rates are a thing. If you print enough money, inflation starts to rise. Why not print money such that you can still provide a positive nominal interest rate so people don't start

Having been to Germany a few times, I've not noticed anything like only government buildings being in good repair. Can you identify a few cities that are like this?

They could require the vendors attach the stickers to uniquely determine the shipment. Upon receipt, just scan to ensure the barcodes match/aren't duplicates. They already require vendors using Fullfillment by Amazon to have their

This is just an argument for diversification. Hold the world at market cap and you'll only lose money if the whole world's markets crash and stay down for decades. And if that happens, I'm not sure bonds are going to keep you

Because teaching 1st grade will get you surrounded by good looking dudes? I feel like finance has a reputation for having good looking guys. It also has a reputation for being mostly male.

I don't know. My biggest frustration in season one was "why the hell doesn't Walt have life insurance if his family depends so much on his income?!" I bet Joe Six-pack working middle management at a life insurance firm

What have you been learning about? Do you dabble in various things or are you continually learning more about something in particular? I'm a dabbler by nature, and while it feels rewarding to get to that high-novice stage each time, I&

Brokers are often limited in which countries they'll accept clients from, but that's to avoid all the overhead of filling the appropriate tax forms to each government (and maintaining the knowledge of what the rules in each countr

Not everything related to quality can be easily identified by the end consumer. I trust major food manufacturers to have products without high levels of arsenic, lead, and mercury. I don't trust that counterfeit food manufacturers are

Not OP, but threading. So many collaboration tools I've worked with are indistinguishable from the comment section of a blog or newspaper. The vast majority of the comments are useless, with people arguing over ridiculous things, but t

A month in Australia for 3-4k? I want a cost breakdown for this. Say you get a deal and airfare is $500, that leaves about $100/day for the month. You could probably find a hotel at that rate, but then you're left with nothing to

But they mix inventory in their warehouses, so they are just as likely to ship out an item sent to them for Fulfillment by Amazon by another merchant as the are to ship an item they actually procured. I think mixed inventory is the heart of

But the thought is that it may still be more efficient to give them the money to squander themselves rather than have multiple layers of bureaucracy with lots of middle men to be paid to ensure that the money gets spent as it was intended.

Ripping up floors is an actual thing there?? I assumed the original poster was speaking metaphorically about how much gets taken out. I wonder how that practice got started. It's almost impossible to reuse floors.

Cost of living is much higher in San Francisco/Sunnyvale vs Cincinnati. I'm saying $77K in an area where you could get a 3 bedroom/2 bath house for under $200K is pretty good, especially if you don't have the skills to c
