Not to be a party pooper, but posting detailed financial analysis of the exact sales data of a multi-million dollar business using numbers obtained through an obviously overlooked backdoor seems like a very bad idea. Haven't people hav

It's usually clear from context. That sign in particular says "Martial Arts Hall" ("budokan" / 武道館) from right to left. Imagine an alternate universe where English could also be read left-to-right or right-to-l

Recently when I buy books on Amazon, they're often cheap versions printed in India. Sometimes there's even a "Only for sale in the Indian subcontinent" label on it. The quality is much worse - flimsy paper, faded ink, ro

"We fired the CEO for being too profit-driven" is a terrible message to send to your employees when you've lured them in with $1m comp packages that mostly consist of "Profit Participation Units" that are only wor

Somewhat hidden beneath the huge headline of Altman being kicked out is that Brockman (chairman) is also out. Which could indicate something more systemically wrong than just a typical "CEO did something bad" situation. > As a

What I'll miss most from BaconReader is the Android widgets, which as far as I can tell, are not available through either the official app or anything else. It was super convenient to be able to display a sub or /r/all on my

Everything search is incredible, for me it serves nearly instant searches for 15TB+ of data without any trouble. I think the secret sauce is a background service which continuously updates the file index. I also like WinDirStat a lot for Wi

No, not at all like the stock market, which has real mechanisms for getting real cash paid by real consumers in real life for real products into the hands of stockholders. Do people speculate on it more than they probably should? Sure. But

That's pretty trivial to work around... you can own one primary residence, and one additional residence in DC. You can't own 10 buildings. That said, I don't think real estate is as easily abused as stocks. Much harder to inf
