There are more stages after beating the horse ...

Dont know that story line.... but its also probably unlikely to tie to the John Byrne scripted story line where they discover Reed's father stranded in alternate future that is war torn wasteland. After fixing everything, his father stays and a 1000 years later a descendant becomes the guy they...

sigh I relocated from Tampa Bay last year after over 30 years living there....I've been following the models on what became Milton since Helene was making landfall and have been trying to get the attention of friends and family back there for several days. The only storm to get my lizard brain...

Well if someone fired up the Improbability Drive when the remains of a Long March 6 launch was passing by, the odds get down to under a 100 to 1.

Striking down Chevron wasn't the only decision that will cause chaos on this front. While everyone was focused on the Trump case on the last day of this session, SCOTUS tried to slip in Corner Post under the radar. My understanding is it will not apply to all regulatory decisions (some do have...

Its an old story but legacy rental properties... i.e. old properties now targeted towards lower incomes... are only going to see minimal upgrades dictated by local code to keep them inhabitable. Right before we left Tampa Bay last year I was reading several news stories of such properties with...

The Autopilot investigation leading to an "unafforable fix" was not part of my thinking either ... it could be interesting exercise to game out the potential cost of the options if the they are told something along lines of "you cannot do Autopilot this way...you must add in radar". After...

Mmm yes and no. Part of Apples challenge is that they've been so successful and make so much money there are very few industries they can go to and move the needle. They tried one of them (cars) and after several years of R&D decided the low margins are not worth it (a reckoning Tesla is...

Exxon would be more apropos.

sigh I've noticed the Roku OS on a couple of our TVs becoming more and more flaky in recent months and now this equine fecal matter... From my point of view they've only been making it less valuable to the point of making it Roku OS an active detriment to my experience using a TV. I'm more...

It's a little insurance policy called Directive 4... Putting classic cheesy cinema villainy aside... why would you give an AI from a social media company the decision making power to spend your money on services provided by that social media company? Obligatory:

Dmitri Alperovitch and Chirs Krebs are the guests on the latest "On with Kara Swisher" podcast which was focused on conflict with China but towards the end (about 55 mins in) they briefly discussed the election and AI/disinformation. Krebs said he expected AI to be a lot more noise in 2024 cycle...

But that also goes against one of the fundamental premises of broad index funds... those are usually the ones with lowest fees as the management structure is kept as simplistic as possible. "We simply buy the S&P 500...or the Russel 2000". Allowing people to pick and choose what makes up their...

I understand that sentiment as for me it applies both to vets and my own medical staff when I find one I particularly like. I followed a dentist to 3 different practices over 20 years...at least in that industry they seemed to make a point of contacting patients with notices of "Dr X is leaving...

I cannot remember the reference but I remember reading (or I may be really confused and it was a podcast) in the last year about how one of the targets for private equity in recent years was vet clinics....a firm would buy up a significant percentage of the clinics in a metropolitan area and...

That article is a bit dated. Tesla is a part of the S&P 500 now which the most popular ETF's are based on.

Borrowing from Team America... Jesus T***y F***ing Christ... wtf is that crap? I had no idea who the hell those characters are...so I googled it...read the Wikipedia page...and now I want to punch Kevin Feige in the nuts repeatedly for both letting such crap out...and wasting the talent of...

The aggressive ones do go a little past threatening (by managers)... they will start sending out letters from legal counsel making threats which does effectively intimidate most people and thus achieve the goal of wage suppression. The costs are stupid high just to get another lawyer to write a...

Sheesh I love this stuff. I like to fondly remember hacking around on my Atari 800XL as a teenager... writing assembly routines to replace small sections of the OS ROM (after duplicating it into bank switched RAM) ...or code that had to execute within the time constraints of the video vertical...

Long running comics suffer from similar "mudflation" problem as MMOs do. Over the long haul its all about the same characters doing bigger and better things....its really hard to keep creating truly original characters within a particular title that has gone for decades...so you end up with...
