Thank you for the informative reply. I definitely agree on all counts, especially re "ponzy" etc. I think that the pandemic forced the entire sector to focus on profitability and c…

I agree with the gist of you're saying, and I didn't personally dig into their last few fillings, but I suppose what the parent comment is trying to express can also be stated as "…

Yup. Essentially, housing is an in-elastic demand, and livable land is a finite resource, further exacerbated by the realities of emigration. Combined with extreme wealth inequalit…

It's not a question of "would it work", the point is that real-estate prices are rising in dozens of countries, and thousands of cities. Zoning is a local issue. Assuming that the …

I've seen this argument touted frequently in housing related threads and it always confuses me. Housing prices have soared over the majority of the developed world - dozens of coun…

Are you an immunologist by any chance?

Arkansas was one of the last states to seceded the union. The very second sentence in the ordinance linked is "In addition to the well-founded causes of complaint set forth by this…

If only the slaves had any appreciation to the important component they were in their slave master's culture, they'd probably complain a lot less and try harder to accommodate thei…

Except that it actually didn't?

This has to be satire right? Right?

"they accomplish the same goals as full VMs in a different way." They are explicitly not that. Docker containers do not provide you any real isolation guarantees from a security PO…

"in my time there I worked during the weekend 3 times (i don’t count oncall here)" Why wouldn't you count it? Do those days not-count somehow?

And if the real world could even hypothetically fulfill such a requirement, you would have had a point.

Lynching slaves was immoral, unethical and "blameworthy" before it became illegal.

First, I agree with your conclusion. The way to address this is to change the law, pushing individual corporation is ineffective. However, you DON'T have to maximize your profits a…

If you're referring to "...investors have been cashing out of US stocks at a record pace", than to further clarify - investors are divesting out of the public stock market entirely…

I’m not going to get into the specifics of this particular article, or public analyst reports in general, but FYI Barrons is possibly the worst source of financial information on p…

I have no idea what you base this statement on. You are absolutely likely to go to zero by continuously making market trades as a retail investor. Every trade has two sides and the…

You are statistically guaranteed to have worse expected value as a retail stock trader than at the blackjack table.

Oh then you'll love finding out how much of the overall economy is guided by tax code idiosyncrasies - read up on stock buybacks vs. dividends for extra horror.

Is Intel not a "mega tech company"? They have 75% the market cap of Microsoft, and virtually all of their revenue is from producing silicon. Ironically this is exactly the point yo…

No, their business is consumer electronics. Those consumer devices contain (and are built with) tech, but the tech is not the product itself. This is in comparison with MS, which f…

I am both bemused and somewhat concerned that you seems to hold the belief that "business discussions" are conducted outside of the realm of "emotional expression".
