You might see a small, temporary dip in the price but if the fundamentals of the company are the same and it’s known that the sale is for tax purposes, there’s no reason for the stock price to change long-term.

I have their last game, Vindication, which is very good. I will say that they have a tremendous reputation on Kickstarter, they are very good at keeping the campaign interesting (apparently their big hook this time is that one of the planets will be designed by the backers). And they shipped Vindication like two…

I think the compliance concerns are largely overblown. Something like 90% of American wealth is held in financial instruments and real estate, which are all pretty easy to valuate and are mostly already valuated. Make insurance companies mandatory IRS reporters and you’ll capture a lot of the rest.

Stocks don’t go down in price just because somebody decides to sell their shares. You’re conflating correlation and causation. Stock prices often go down in price when a lot of shares hit the market, but that’s because a lot of shares hitting the market is usually a sign of somebody (or lots of somebodys) losing faith…

It wouldn’t be that hard. Local governments already appraise property. And financial firms already have reporting requirements. Just expand those and you’ll capture the vast majority of property. Make insurance companies report too (to capture those boats and expensive paintings) and that should just about do it.

I agree. I see Disney+ joining our regular rotation along with Prime, Starz, and HBO with Netflix/Hulu Live as our everyday subscriptions.

CBS never owned The Big Bang Theory, it was always a Warner Bros. show, which just goes to show how confusing and complicated these things can be.

CBS All-Access isn’t a streaming service, it’s a negotiating tool to bump up their carriage fees.

I mean, in that sense, the risk of SIDS in general is overblown. Even before the Back-to-Sleep campaign, the death rate was only about 3 in every 2,000 kids.  But if we can cut that number to 1 in every 2,000 with some very basic safety practices, why not?

I agree.  So as long as you and your spouse (pre-marriage shouldn’t have any account sharing in my opinion) agree on spending habits, there shouldn’t be any reason have separate accounts, and if you don’t, that’s an issue that really should be worked out before marriage.  Otherwise, you’re just kicking the can down…

It doesn’t have to do with the distance, so much as the result. If it’s missed, a fair catch kick functions like a punt, so it can be returned and the defense (who just punted away) gets the ball back.

I think it was a camera issue, not a wardrobe issue. If you watch the beats before this, the cameras are cutting all over the place and nobody is actually on camera when they are speaking. Then, they cut to the wide shot, which is when she comes in.

Subscription hopping is especially easy if you keep Amazon or Hulu as a regular subscription.

Oh, God, Amazon is terrible. Why on earth they decide to split up every season of a television show is beyond me. Just give me one page with all of the episodes together so I don’t have to sift through fifty results just to find the right thing.

I would bet $1000 this was a VP-level or higher decision. No way a lower-level employee makes this decision and it gets through as many layers of decision-making as this no doubt requires. Some muckity-muck made this call despite multiple people beneath him trying to steer him elsewhere.

Downtown Minneapolis is closed until further notice. No need to look that up. Just trust us.

Earnin encourages, but does not require, tipping for the service. It says that contributions from the total community keep the app going.

But that...makes sense, right? That’s how you balance out the costs among all of the covered. But for some people, having a lower deductible and higher premium makes sense because of they have more frequent, or recurring health care costs. Whereas some people who don’t have regular health care costs, will be better…

Class: a set or category of things having some property or attribute in common and differentiated from others by kind, type, or quality.

The Hippo piece is cool, but I’d really like to know how he shaved SIX SECONDS off his personal best for Tyson.
