Prom is definitely something the media pushes to be more important that it is in reality. It’s fun, I liked going, but after high school it’s pretty meaningless.

You can also weigh water, 100ml weighs 100 grams

Revenue is how much you sold stuff for. Profit is how much did you make after paying for everything to run your business. They got $544M but spent $668M, so they didn’t make a profit.

The original captchas were to help computers read scanned books for OCR. It was a neat solution that had value where it prevented abuse on websites and helped open up knowledge to people.

Now captchas aren’t needed because of cookies and fingerprinting and tech companies know if you’re malicious or not. They kept it going because it’s so valuable to tech companies.

To train ai models

It’s a bit more complicated than that. There are a lot of accounting tricks to be constantly making losses but end up cash flow positive.

I don’t work or invest in Unity so I don’t have a great understanding of their metrics but companies I worked at would constantly capitalize new projects to add expenses in the future. You can structure sales deals so a new feature is added late in the contract. That pushes revenue out, but you can collect more cash early.

If unity didn’t do share buy backs this quarter, they would have a positive cash flow. Which points to they should be a profitable company but instead are using accounting tricks to post losses to lower tax bills.

They didn’t earn $544M, they had $544M in revenue. They lost $124M but it’s all due to their decisions. They have a great operating margin in the 60s and spent all the money elsewhere.

Not unless you pirate it

So many talented creators have left over bad working conditions. Not surprising it’s still going on now.

I didn't realize it but that's actually half the ship

Their labor is worth 6 million more than they thought because it was exceeding plan not total sales

Private companies get acquired all the time and hostile takeovers haven’t really been a thing since the 1980s

Or use it like yahoo answers. If a search result takes me to Reddit to answer a question, I’ll read the answer then leave.

Good. My uncle was addicted to gambling. Would sell family heirlooms, steal from other family members, and lie to cover his tracks. We all cut him out and it’s better not having him in our lives.

I feel like political discourse didn’t start on Reddit until after subreddits were added

We’re starting to see prices decrease right now, since high interest rates are holding

That isn’t really holding up this year. Interest rates are correlated with price increases. Prices corrected after the initial increase but have since continued to increase. While the cost to borrow has gone up, the reason for increased interest rates will always drive up prices. The federal reserve will raise interest rates if inflation is high (driving up nominal prices) or if employment is too high (increasing demand). Home prices will decrease if there is a recession but then the fed will lower rates to fight unemployment (assuming inflation isn’t an issue).

In the US home prices are only down 0.5% year over year. In my high cost of living area (SF Bay area), prices are down 10% but climbing every month. At the current rate of home price growth, the Bay area will be back at all time highs this winter/spring.

I had crickets in laos, they tasted kind of like a bean with some good curry spices added.

I had sushi that was crusted with ants instead of seaweed in Colombia. It tasted a lot like a dark chocolate.

No, unless we separate housing from investment, it will never be affordable. I don’t foresee the political will to make it happen.
