like most of the taxi drivers in NYC, most of the uber drivers seem to be foreign born and on the phone all the time. You don't even have to do it as a big group, just organize smaller groups. especially at NYC taxi shift change
they are mostly immigrants and high school dropouts and thought to be stupid and gullible to sign up for those extortionate leases. how is it possible they figured this out?
Why would they testify? All the big internet companies either peer directly with ISP's or they pay for CDN access. aka fast lanes. In the case of Netflix they literally pay the consumer ISP's to be their ISP by peering with them.
because when you're trying to sex up the female you co-habitate with and she's not in the mood cause she didn't have time to clean, you can order it to clean the house over the internet from the phone beside you
Since when do you need flash to watch MLB TV? I just installed the apps on my apple tv and xbox and phones and ipads and it plays the games. never had to install flash
Just because 20% of people don't work doesn't mean they are unemployed. Lots of old people in the US who have paid off homes and money coming in and don't have to work. My mom hasn't worked since her mid-50's. My mother in law retired and FIL can retire if he wants to and have lots of income coming in.
With the younger crowd there are lots of people now who are 3rd or 4th generation Americans and they have trust funds and other money passed on from the older generations they can live on.
I'm 43 and I can semi-retire if I wanted to, but need to get my kids learned first.
Easy to retire early. You have to live on the coasts or some high price area. Buy property early in life and don't move around for jobs renting everywhere. The high cost areas will generally see higher RE value growth so once your kids graduate you sell and move to a low cost and low tax area and buy a house with cash you have from selling your previous house in a high cost area. It's kind of like arbitrage.
Where my mom lives they get lots of California refugees who make bank on their homes in California and buy for less money when they move. In NJ there is a town called Demarest where property taxes can run you $25,000 a year but the schools are some of the best in the USA and the home values go up. Lots of people list their homes for sale right before HS graduation and move to the Carolinas or anywhere else with a huge bag of money they earned for living in Demarest and similar parts of the NYC burbs.
Do EA or Activision care when they release new games and people can't connect to play? They just feed you some BS and wait it out until people go play the next big thing
I run, I use strava to log my runs and try to beat my times. Other days i'll hit the gym or do push-ups at home.
why do people care what their heart rate is 24 hours a day? or even what it is while you're running? run as fast until your lungs hurt and you feel drained for the next day or so, take a break, repeat.
of course they sued, if you allow one company access like this then you need to allow everyone access. but then you need to figure out who's going to pay the costs in stringing the wire back up in case of a big storm.
its not 330 million people because a lot of people are married
the labor costs a lot more money
you need people for the legal and permit work
you need to pay a lot of counties and companies monthly fees for the utility pole space in case there is a storm to pay the overtime costs to bring the wiring back up
you also need to buy a lot of network gear and pay the monthly recurring costs for support, etc
and you need to figure on $70 a month in revenue per household
the search business makes the money, the fiber business not so much. Years ago some financial blog said that Google Fiber would never work because they estimated that it would cost $140 BILLION for a national build-out.
Alphabet has no plans to feed the fiber business money with cord cutting and live tv streaming being the next big things
They built a lot of hype in the first few markets and got cheaper deals from the town to use the utility poles. Then the ISP's wised up and fought their sweetheart deals they shouldn't have received in the first place.
numbers work out to 5/10 you will lose your money, 2-4/10 you will break even or make a small profit when they go public or get sold and the last one you will make all your profits on when it IPO's and becomes the next MS, Google, or facebook or SalesForce

you have a choice to walk
Are you upset that people who you thing are dumb figured out a way to get money out of you?
they are mostly immigrants and high school dropouts and thought to be stupid and gullible to sign up for those extortionate leases. how is it possible they figured this out?
i'm thinking it has to be something big like a fridge or some other appliance

that's only to hide stuff from your wife or girlfriend
Seems everyone wants internet for free or some really low cost, so who is going to finance a whole new internet? Who is going to manage it?
We have land taxes, they are called property taxes. You pay them to your state and local government and they fund lots of stuff including schools.
The hotels can refuse to host the convention

which brand? lately even the nice brands from the snobby stores like Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus seem to fall apart in a year or so.
Lately I'm buying Geoxx and other cheaper mid price or lower price brands.
doesn't mean I'm getting rid of my car. I just needed a ride to the airport and Uber is better than NYC taxis
