I shave DE and this is an amazing idea. I currently use a sharps container, but this is so much more fun.

I have a pickup. My wife says she likes my penis size. I question your hypothesis. Today, I used it to haul fire wood and tow a broken down ATV. Yesterday, I brought kayaks up to my family cabin. It gets used. Pre-COVID, it was part of the first leg of my commute. I’m not going to have a separate vehicle just to drive to the train station. That’s absurd.

If you don’t work, how do you survive?

This brought to the surface a panic disorder that took quite some time to resolve.

The real story behind this is that someone stole his Lambo, so he had to testify in court about it. I guess the caption holds up.

I did this with my wiki in order to read each article and come up with a category and keyword cloud. I first started by attempting to use many different tools to build my own LLM and then realized that I was reinventing the wheel and shifted to using OpenAI’s API. I was able to prompt it to read each article as input and output what I needed in a machine readable format. It worked like a charm.

Reminds me of the movie Gattaca

Sorry for the late reply. Busy week being a slave to the system. Need to work hard to play hard though.

Uber did exactly what it should have. It tapped into a blue ocean, creating a brand new vertical in a stale market. This is capitalism at its best, bringing something innovative and useful into the world.

They never presented the gig economy as a career path. It’s a side hustle. Anyone complaining that they can’t feed their family off it is missing the point. It was meant to be something that you do with your car in between jobs for some extra spending money.

I agree that we have an issue with those in power not enforcing market regulation. Plato predicted this too. These are not new concepts by any means. He also said that redistribution of wealth doesn’t work either. His utopian society was a bit wired though. I don’t like the part where no one owns anything.

If anything we need a reset of congressional term limits. That alone might help get more interesting people into politics.

Pricing together existing technologies to create new innovations is exactly how things have always worked. We stand on the shoulder of giants. It is the reason why many discoveries happen simultaneously in different parts of the world. Because the latest understanding and tools available make the next innovation possible. Saying that Uber is shit for making a GPS enabled app that can act as a commissioned merchant service is like saying anyone that uses AWS is a bad company because they don’t host their own servers. SpaceX filling in a government void is a great entrepreneur story and puts the scope on how significant government overspending is. The internet would have come about even without ARPANET. University labs were already messing around with these systems and were all working towards transmission protocols.

The modern PC was developed in a garage. Linux was a pet project. Uber and many other companies was funded by the previous success of another app. The owner sold StumbleUpon to eBay for $75M then used that money to make a killer rideshare app. SpaceX, Tesla, Streaming media. I beg to differ on whether most innovation is government funded. There are thousands of entrepreneurs that prove you wrong on that point.

Capitalism also funded the innovations that enabled us to have this conversion.

So the government should incentivize keeping jobs local. If you aren’t exploiting all available options, then your competitors are.

I feel like it would be more fun to respond to you with songs from my favorite albums. It doesn’t really answer a question since you didn’t have one.

Nothing lasts forever.

Not even capitalism.

You say the merket will decide my worth. The people will decide yours!

A Master of Business Administration (MBA; also Master in Business Administration) is a postgraduate degree focused on business administration. The core courses in an MBA program cover various areas of business administration such as accounting, applied statistics, human resources, business communication, business ethics, business law, strategic management, business strategy, finance, managerial economics, management, entrepreneurship, marketing, supply-chain management, and operations management in a manner most relevant to management analysis and strategy. It originated in the United States in the early 20th century when the country industrialized and companies sought scientific management.

You seek to write-off in one stroke what has been built-upon over many centuries and siphoned into scientific disciplines. You suffer from Dunning-Kruger.

I’m not saying that you need every employee to make a company run. There is a lot of waste. I’m just trying to help you understand how CEO’s work. The don’t necessarily keep their job either. The board can remove then if they aren’t making the company money. Sure, I’d like to get paid more than my quarter million or so. It really isn’t enough, but I’m working my ass off to get to the top of my ladder. It’s not necessarily the CEO at my current company, but it could be close to it somewhere else. You just don’t want to play the game. If you want a good listen, my favorite albums of all times are The Kinks - Preservation: Act 1&2. It’s a great social commentary on workers rights and getting manipulated for profit. The answer is somewhere in the middle where commerce is regulated appropriately, but not by throwing the baby out with the bath water and eating the rich. If you go too far social left, you end up in the territory of a restrictive regime. It’s confusing how that works. There are plenty of terrible governments in history that swung the socialist banner.

No. You live in a capitalist economy. This is how that system works. Market movers make money. CEO’s are the company’s superstars.

The market will dictate your worth. Have fun asking for too much money and not getting it.

Yeah. That’s really bad. It sounds like it was grounding out or something equally terrible. The device probably had something capable of moderating the draw, but it was basically like electricity was escaping places it should not have been going.

Are you saying that it won’t keep from tripping unless something is plugged into it and turned on or that it trips under any circumstance that something draws power from it. Have you been able to confirm all the junctions in the circuit? Sounds like something is terribly miswired or the GFCI and/or breaker is bad. I wouldn’t use it until you get it corrected.

I am an MBA and agree that buybacks are fine. The problem is toxic anti-capitalism from my perspective. People are not really educated well on these topics. I find your comment funny that an army of accountants come to explain things and help everyone understand the nuances and why this is needed, but all the experts are somehow shills.
