Ummm, how does Uber break monopsony power when the purchase of the ride and its pricing has to be filtered through Uber, who can change that price for Uber drivers without any renegotiation? Uber has great market share and can set the price it wants to pay its drivers at will by changing the pricing algorithm or doing…

Allow me to direct your attention to the protests the US has held in Afghanistan and Iraq. Pretty violent protests, too.

Kafka on the Shore

I did not win the league in 2008.

Why? Why must non-macs put those stupid stickers on the palm rests. Who could possibly think those are useful or more important than having a computer that, you know, looks classy? Are those required by government regulation? Do they get kickbacks from Intel for advertising? “OH! I have an inside corei5 on this baby!…

That face falls in the Uncanny Valley for me. Like, it’s too close to being real but obviously not real, so it just skeeves me out.

Saw it elsewhere, but another thought here is that Russ just doesn’t compliment other players, which most reporters know, so he was likely just laughing that he got asked a question trying to get him to do so.

How incredulous are you, scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the most incredulous you’ve ever been in your life?

I don’t know, you seem pretty angry.

If only there were somewhere you could go to read something positive about Kobe that is also not backed up with stats....

Russ with the low energy dejected “Fuck.” Knows he just got in the wrong side of a highlight reel.

Bad turf can’t melt steel cleats.

So my guess is that this is more of a problem because of arbitrage. That is, if I can buy a pass at the discounted bulk rate but then use them indefinitely, I could also sell them at a higher rate to some other person that is still less than SoulCycle’s retail rate. Which costs SoulCycle money.

However, they could…

I still track money out of my budget for investments, I just track it as if it’s a payment to say, Fidelity. It isn’t available for spending as an investment. I cashed out some stocks at one point, and just turned those into income in my checking when the transaction cleared. But I wasn’t viewing the stock value as if…

I think YNAB has worked best for me to get a handle on where my money is going and planning for future expenses, especially those that don’t happen monthly. So like, I started in grad school when I had very little income, and in having little, thought I was fine without a budget because i mean, come on, I made so few…

I always viewed the expense as a way not to have to deal with advertising or having my data sold. The ads made Mint unusable for me, and I don’t trust most other free software.

Do you track your investments in the same place you budget for your groceries?

no shit, have they heard of “beta” testing? Or, y’know, rolling things out over time? I am a daily user of their product and had no idea this transition was happening until they had apparently made ever decision about how to charge me in spite of not having figured out how to, y’know, migrate my old budget to their…
