I think it deserves some discussion at least

How old are you? What drove you to buy these?

I get the same values and trend after a glass of wine or rye and ginger. I have an Apple Watch.

Unfortunately, once you go one way the 2 days are no longer of focus work. Not all people schedule the same type of work at the same time .

>>>* Lower level managers are often created from senior or valuable employees because a title change is the only way of rewarding them and using their experience

This is the part I’ll never understand. In order to give a larger (than managers) salary you will have to change the title. Why?

This is the way

How did it go? Haven’t done that in a long while, but your message brought back childhood memories.

I can see a 99 dollars Faraday Cloth in the future

I would throw in also real estate market that makes them cash in on their homes in the city to move to the rural areas (or back home). I think the are way more factors that just this.

Interestingly, the scenario does not include transaction costs. In the general sense that is money that stays in the cycle (economy) ?

If rent would be the only obstacle I believe they would move East to Hungary or Romania or any other Eastern Bloc country to pay 100-200 euros rent.

Peter Attia talks about metformin (https://peterattiamd.com/) also in the context of exercise and I've heard Dave Asprey (https://daveasprey.com/)talking about it.

I would really like this imposed on a Teams, Zoom, Lync, WebMeeting. This way you cam still be in pajamas...

That’s what I though too. 8 million is peanuts for Canadian government. Even for the provincial one. I think it’s more a PR move.

I'm assuming because of the way an animal is sacrificed in order to be considered "halal". It would require a large slaughterhouse with the proper setup, which in an 98% orthodox country is not a easy arrangement.

It also nudges the state towards a well informed populace over years...

I love your auto-correct function

That's the Art of the Deal. Set the initial position much higher than desired and retrench to actual one on push back.

My impression is the last sentence - self preservation. With the threat of automation, they can see the pressure mounting on finding solutions that do not result in unions or pitchforks.

There is also the option of Amazon buying Netflix or better yet Apple. So far I find Netflix content of higher quality than Disney. There is also a growing segment of the population that watches only YouTube. I find that is the main competition for Netflix.

Re: Area of economics talking about aggregators/corner market . I'm interested in researching more this topic. Do you have any links to point me to ?

So wouldn't a ranking vote system work better?

Hindsight is 20-20. When Apple released a forecast of 89 billion dollars with the bulk of the revenue from the new devices, it seemed more like wishful thinking, I should have shorted the stock. I wonder if the smart money didn't do that... they would have recognized this right away. It would have been the perfect moment to bet.

There is an interesting discussion on this topic in the last Sam Harris podcast, based on established connection between depression and suicide and the current political context in US. https://samharris.org/podcasts/142-addiction-depression-mean...

I think this chart would be better explained when correlated with investment in R&D by country

iTunes Podcast

If Microsoft would support this from a distance - thru open source and maybe some financing - this would be their best play in the mobile space. They would achieve way more than Windows Mobile ever did.

So... everybody starts from the premise that we will still be here in 2050....

I don't understand why this cannot be a differentiation for a product competing with Amazon Echo and Google Home, certainly you can install one in each room and will provide better networking and see your presence and respond in context.

I was interested in the same setup, curios how it performs for development and what kind of development you do (os, tools).

Thanks
