re: stock tip...FSLY - sincerecontact on 6/8/21 at 11:42 am [quote]FSLY: Bad news, we took down the internet FSLY: Good news, we took down the internet[/quote]
100% true story: driving my 5th-grader to school this morning, and FSLY story is on the radio. I comment that I own FSLY stock and it's already way down, so this is bad news.

I guess I didn't make it clear enough that I was focusing on the actual newsletter itself, as a resources, rather than particular story? Anyway, yeah, it's a good newsletter — no matter what story it's talking about. ... Posted on Money Talk Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (0) |
Money Stuff newsletter (from Bloomberg) - sincerecontact on 4/20/21 at 11:58 am Maybe everybody already knows about this newsletter, but if you've never seen it, the Money Stuff email from Matt Levine at Bloomberg dives deep into all kinds of market phenomena — from everyday things, to quirks like the now-famous $100 million deli in New Jersey.
It usually has a lot of inter... Posted on Money Talk Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (1) |
re: Where did the concept of a clock come from? - sincerecontact on 10/17/20 at 11:11 pm All I know is that local time used to be a (very inaccurate) thing, until "railroad time" came along in the 1880s and turned time into a more standardized thing.

re: B&H Photo finds a way to circumvent (for customer) LA sales tax changes - sincerecontact on 8/31/20 at 11:54 am [quote]This sounds like one of those Nigerian prince schemes.[/quote]
The catch, of course, is that the card has a stupid-high interest rate (~29%). They quickly make the money back on those who don't pay off the balance immediately. If you set auto-pay to pay the full balance, then the tax-amount ... Posted on O-T Lounge Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (0) |

I got the card in June (sales tax was required earlier in my state), and it was actually credited at checkout. Just logged in to test checking out again, and the discount is reflected in the total at B&H when using th... Posted on O-T Lounge Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (0) |

re: Harvard University comes under fire for being stingy with its endowment during cv19 crisis - sincerecontact on 3/24/20 at 10:39 pm [quote]What does Harvard ever plan to do with a $40 billion endowment?
Even at 2% (going rate of a CD), that's $800 million a year they could use for whatever and never touch the principle.
And why keep donating to them? I guess so you can help your alma mater have this dubious title.[/quote]

I love our defense, but what you're actually saying is "what if LSU was better at not giving up first downs?"

re: Who here is in a union? Do you feel it helps or hurts? - sincerecontact on 1/9/20 at 9:23 pm I work at a university where we have union and non-union staff. It creates a major divide and is a management nightmare. It's definitely tilted me toward the anti-union side of the ledger.
