He is correct that lego from an inflation standpoint is an adequate stand in for any other generic commodity. It is, fundamentally, a refined petroleum product. Made out of oil, shipped by oil... So on a long term basis should track oil, more or less. The imaginary govt propaganda inflation numbers don't count energy prices in order to keep the figures low... no great surprise that an oil surrogate product is rising in price faster than the propaganda inflation number. For a very small time investor its a pretty good commodity oil surrogate, can anyone think of a better one? Better as in a more "pure" surrogate or higher weight/volume cost density?
An oil ETF? I suspect the commissions are lower than the storage costs of keeping cardboard boxes in mint condition.
When you invest in real estate you have to send a portion of the land and building to the IRS every quarter. And people who invest in gold have to send gold to the IRS every quarter. And people who invest in stocks have to send a few stocks to the IRS every quarter.
So obviously yes you'd have to send some lego to the IRS every quarter.
Preparation against catastrophic events? So these satellites are able to turn back the storm, and prevent damage?
Maybe you should invest in a dictionary. Preparation does not mean prevention, as every school kid who has ever prepared for en exam and then turned up and found that the exam was not prevented and occurred as scheduled has discovered.
Except that they didn't abide it, as it was even easier to avoid then than it is now. Sure you can have a high "in theory" rate but that's meaningless if no one is paying it.
78% kicked in at $2,000,000. The average income was $1315 (for which the rate was 4%).
The US government raised $892,000,000 in individual income taxes in 1940. if people were actually paying that top rate then it would take 600 of them to cover the entire personal income tax revenue of the US at the time, which should indicate no one was paying that rate.
Of course there isn't. The server doesn't see the passphrase and there'd be no point in trusting the client to tell you "oh yeah, there was a huge passphrase, I promise".
They'll just steal the gun safe as well (along with some of the floor/wall if it's bolted down - just how many gun safes do you think are bolted to the foundation?) and open it elsewhere. Or for a typical gun safe they'll spend the 5 minutes it takes to open it right there and then.
If it was that then it would be netflix being idiots and not meeting obvious capacity expectations. But it seemed to be an amazon issue - which also brings netflix's management into question since surely amazon's prime streaming video stuff is a competitor for them? Relying on a competitor for critical infrastructure sounds like a good way to have things screw up at critical times (not that I think there was anything malicious yesterday).
If the asteroid was big enough to hold an atmosphere so you could aerobrake, then maybe. But it isn't.
But the delta-V required to dock with it with pure rockets is going to use up more fuel than you gain. Even if you load huge amounts of fuel you already had enough to get to Mars if you didn't bother stopping on the way - since you can aerobrake at Mars so you'll need *more* fuel to make this stop than not to.
If you put it at the Earth Moon L2 then we have a workable plan - but then again why not just put fuel tanks there and skip the whole asteroid step?
because they couldn't type one word and then go and look up something in another window or anything.
By that metric I type about 1 word a hour - given how many times I've not pressed enter and have hence been responding for about 14 hours until I press enter the next day.
Life expectancies don't matter (aside from being a upper limit), breeding age matters, Horses can breed when they are less than 2 years old (as little as 6 months old for some males) - humans take just a tad longer.

Because clearly the US has been raising taxes and cutting spending over and over again for years, right?
So evacuate the entire east coast every time a hurricane heads north a few hundred miles off the coast?

If housing prices are about to fall then explain why for many months people have been lining up to buy houses using 30 year mortgages?
Big government means and has always meant big in terms of budget. It has nothing to do with number of government employees.
Outsourcing a government employee does not reduce the size of the government.
That's the client enforcing policy, which is not the server enforcing policy and hence completely irrelevant.

If copying a key is not a big deal why do you want password authentication enabled for lan?

What if you don't have a driver's license?

And yet we drop satellites and space stations down every so often without a problem.
You don't think mass and relative velocity might actually make a different? Or does is every piece of rock falling to Earth going to kill us all?

But the rich black man is more likely to get stopped so they can check that he is actually a rich black man as opposed to a black car thief.
Way to miss the entire point.
Do you know what "by that metric means"?
Or do you think I posted that slashdot comment from an IM client?
So all the splatter horror movie creators and viewers? Just how many people are you planning on keeping an eye on?

The lawmakers often don't intend to use it for such. The lobbyists who actually wrote it do of course, but they aren't officially the lawmakers.
Because banks are heavily regulated, which places restrictions and requirements on what they can, can't, and must do.
