I disagree. There is no such thing as a "lean" site that is as popular as Wikipedia (top 5-10 US depending on the day). I believe they are likely the leanest website in the Alexa top 30. The only site that I see that is leaner in

WeWork, for the most part, does not own actual real-estate assets. They mostly have actual real-estate liabilities - leases. They do own a relatively small amount of property, like their partial ownership of the Lord and Taylor building, wh

This is technically true, but sort of misses the mark. Costco does not price goods such that their Cost of Goods Sold + Operating Expenses = their Membership Fees + Non Alcohol Gross Revenue, Alcohol Gross Revenue to be their main source of

What is the advantage to buying Tether with Krones instead of just converting them to USD? I think people jump to crypto as a solution when oftentimes the financial markets have already had the same solution for hundreds of years (in this c

Boglehead investing is generally the safe and correct pick for the average investor, but large corporations, hedge funds, banks, and so on, all require hedging. A simple example is a corporation that buys goods in China and sells them in th

I believe they are, by some fairly loose accounting definition (i.e., not counting back office expenses, capital expenses, etc), profitable on non-pool rides in core US cities.

There was a less extreme yield curve inversion a few months ago, which is likely what you're referring to. But it wasn't so far reaching as the current inversion, which puts the 1 year Treasury over the 10 year.

It's a sci-fi book with an impressive sense of scale. Every hundred pages or so the story zooms out; from one man's life, to a country's struggle, to a global calamity, to an interplanetary and then galactic crisis, and final

That doesn't make any sense. Why would someone have interviewed at Google before doing a bootcamp like Lambda School, which is specifically meant to teach someone (with almost zero experience) programming? If you've made it to a G

Is it not possible to limit your algorithm's maximum time change for each school? Say, capping the change at 1 hour, and finding the best result of that set of times. Even if it is not as good as the 100% optimized solution, it seems l
