Numbers go up and down for rental businesses all the time – up slowly as you collect rent, down quickly as you need to perform maintenance.

More like 'friendly to perceived in-group, not friendly to perceived outsiders'

Before anybody gets drawn in by the clickbait headline, the text of the article is about how China (i.e. large a Chinese vendor) is trying to win Apple's business away from Korean …

So why don't they buy wooden ladders?

Economic mobility is definitely a part of social justice. But let's note that those groups that most suffer from a lack of economic mobility are Black and Latinx groups. Even among…

It doesn't explain why they couldn't just buy wooden or fiberglass ladders though. I'm sure there are many vendors who would be happy to fill such a contract.

Or people who really just prefer horses as a means of transportation. They can have their shows and their rallies, and the rest of us can get to work on the means of transportation…

It _is_ categorized under the title 'Pop Phyisics'...

Those are other criticisms of the analysis, not the simple fact that credits are worth 1:1 in real dollars, which is what the original poster was objecting to.

Of all the criticisms one can make of this article, this is one of the weakest. If I agree to a $10k pay cut from my employer, that's functionally equivalent to me giving my employ…

Yeah, for better or for worse that may be all a given candidate has.

If you've been working at a large company for several years, there may be very few people outside your company who know your work well enough to give a meaningful reference. Then, …

Yeah, as much as I like long-form pieces on how a technology was developed, pretty much any company with capital can make an Android tablet nowadays. But "Company develops internal…

It's not discussed in this particular article, but economies of scale certainly favor incumbents in hardware as well. If you need confirmation, go ask Pebble guys how they fared af…

I actually agree with you here, I'm just pointing out that there is no indecision of any sort on the part of homeowners.

Clearly everybody who already owns a home is heavily leaning into the 'make housing as expensive as possible' conclusion. Where these sorts of articles comes from is observers who …

Depends on where you live. California state law requires all lenders to except early payments, so a fixed loan holder in California really gets the best of both worlds.

I think you're glossing over the point,] that's been made by others in this thread, that while you're building up that 1500 hrs. of flying time you're getting paid not much more th…

Yeah, all hiring managers know roughly how old you are by the time they've scanned your resume.

What you're discovering is why most Americans of other political persuasions take such a dim view of modern American 'libertarians'. Most of them just use libertarianism to mean "I…

It's for the pediatrician's services. Remember, Babies generally stay in the hospital for 48-72 hours after birth, and they get visited and tested by doctors and nurses during that…

I can hardly imagine trying to live in Boise without driving. Not because I love my car (now that I live in Silicon Valley I'm one of the few people who commutes by train), but bec…

It's too bad, really, because as you say Boise is quite beautiful. But yeah, there was no plan for handling population growth. Too many people wanted to leave out by Eagle / Nampa,…

Thanks. I know it's a tough definition, I just meant that someone making 60k is Boise is going to be at least as satisfied with his/her life as someone making ~100k in Silicon Vall…

The key factor that you seem to be ignoring is ratio of the income to cost of living in that area. For the purposes of this I'll define upper middle class as 'can afford a house, a…
