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 tha…

A few thoughts having gone through a similar journey from 0 to several million in revenue. - The main thing when you are small to focus on is accurate high quality bookkeeping, rat…

Yup, WH-1000XM3

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 curren…

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 sev…

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 w…

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 sy…

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 agai…

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 …

A bug is the difference between the intent and the produced document.

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) a…

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 r…

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 share…

It has been over 10 years since I last studied, and I'm returning to studying part time this year, so things have moved on a bit! I will be studying towards a degree, part time ove…

I didn't down vote you - but the way I always see it is a sliding scale: [Lowest payout] Totally guaranteed money - [Highest payout] Risky very unlikely money On the left you have …

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 pr…

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 …

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 s…

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 p…

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 …

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 pas…
