There are already American companies in China which replicate all the ideas from the US and apply them within China. They've been doing so for 5+ years. Nothing wrong with a little home-grown competition. Certainly people in the US would be up in arms if the opposite was happening to them.
Reminds me walking through the streets of Saigon. You just slowly start crossing and the motorbikes 10-20 deep on main streets magically separate around you. Traffic doesn't move more than 40km/h anywhere in the city.
German groceries just got way cheaper.

Propose a ballot measure in your state.

I've noticed a good positive correlation between income and the level of bullshit people put on their resumes.
Interesting idea. "kids with nothing to do get up to no good" has become "kids with nothing to do go on facebook / reddit"
I love that. Same thing happens in most European countries.
A regular coffee at starbucks in japan costs $4. And every starbucks is packed to the brim with people. Same in Korea.
Completely agree. I don't have any desire to live in the states.
The states is made up of immigrants. Why wouldn't people outside the states be similarly talented? Sure if you don't have access to education you will not have the opportunity to develop your skills, but that doesn't mean you have less raw talent.
Which is interesting because there is such an oversupply of lawyers in the states.
Thanks, I've never been trolled here before.
Discovering the glitchy flash in the system preferences pane was really unsettling. Almost a uncanny valley type situation.
I need to see a video of this moment.
Necessary reading for anybody who's sick of hearing people talk about how busy they are: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=the+busy+trap&gws_rd=ssl
"Busyness serves as a kind of existential reassurance, a hedge against emptiness; obviously your life cannot possibly be silly or trivial or meaningless if you are so busy, completely booked, in demand every hour of the day."
After Mavericks I swore I would wait to upgrade until the second patch of the next os. So I'm sitting here on Mavericks waiting for 10.10.2 to drop.
If you slightly shift your upgrade schedule you're only 3 or 4 months behind. No big deal.
They hedge their currency risk so it's unlikely they have much exposure to the Ruble.
By far
Why is that meaningless?
If Apple is slow to update its prices online you have a clear arbitrage opportunity.
It's not so much that they can't predict the price it's that every dollar is worth significantly more on the black market as the official market rate. Compare the dollar blue (Blue) row with the offical bank rate (Oficial). 13.19 vs 8.57. Many people change every peso they earn to dollars immediately. (www.dolarblue.net)
Agreed, Taxi service in Paris is outrageously expensive. Rivaling Toronto even.
How could Germany have an inefficient tax filing program? That doesn't make any sense. Please explain somebody
But you do pay $25 USD for a cheeseburger.

Is Google planning to release a 2d graphics library like SpriteKit but for Android?
The kind of funny where you deplore your best friend to burn all your writings after you die but then he publishes them anyway. "Dearest Max, my last request: Everything I leave behind me ... in the way of diaries, manuscripts, letters (my own and others'), sketches, and so on, [is] to be burned unread" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Kafka#Max_Brod
If you don't want to read a book on diversification, look at this picture: http://fycs.ifas.ufl.edu/younginvestor/images/unsystemic-ris...
Unsystematic risk means risks tied to holding individual stocks. Notice the x-axis. Holding more stocks (diversifying) means removing individual stock risk.
