Some time ago Company valuations were much more simple and realistic 8 times net or 2 years turnover add something for goodwill. Then someone threw that out and started valuing on hype. When this happens there will be a correction when reality and unsustainable growth and unrealistic valuations are finally acknowledged.
If you can purchase something through an iOS app, you have to give Apple a 30% cut, so they must. They may figure it's worth it if it gets people to buy more lottery tickets.
Not correct an app can have its own payment system it doesn't need to use Apples. Apples system is good for a small developer or someone who wants to make it easy for a user to do an in-app purchase Lotteries need the payment pool for prizes and jackpots TMK they don't use apples pavements system
All I was saying its much easier to create life saving medicine when financial/better life incentives are offered to the brilliant an talented. It is also easier to be charitable when you have an excess to your needs whether that is money time or other resources. The brilliant and talented originally went to countries which offered opportunity, Many of them that I know are returning that original charity with their own.
Now if you feel you are freeloading I feel sorry for you. I personally try to create more than I, My wife and children use so that 1) I can build up a "saving account" for future needs in medicine and care and other if needed 2) I help you your wife and others get the medicine and other items through taxes or charitable donations. This is Pay It Forward. I also pay back the generosity afforded to me and my family when I arrived in this country.

real example Unit is rented out then the renter subleases to a number of students so many that they simply have mattresses wall to wall and sleep in shifts. As there are too many to use the bathroom in the unit they use the common area facilities when they finally are removed after the lease is cancelled the cleanup is very costly not just to the unit owner but the owners coop. as many units around that unit invariably have pest problems and the facilities are used by far too many people who share the limited keycards keys and fobs. this was 20 years ago and only got worse once airbnb etc started.
The reality is there will always be idiots that will find a way to kill themselves and possibly someone else in the process no amount of safety equipment will stop stupidity
Interesting as I asked for this in a previous comment and it works as expected however governments I know make a lot of money from speeding tickets. https://au.finance.yahoo.com/n... so I do not expect them to make it permanent any time soon at least until they can wean themselves off the revenue cameras
In actual-reality America the vast, vast mass of toxic fly ash sits unused in huge piles alongside rivers and other waterways, and has contaminated the groundwater of all 48 lower states. https://www.grandforksherald.c...
Well that comes down to regulations and enforcement of those regulations however when it comes to climate change https://www.carbonbrief.org/ma... paints an interesting picture. Instead of complaining about the converted western countries who are clearly closing plants to their own economic detriment to appease the climate change brigade. Why don't those same people go protest in countries who are building more coal fired plants and tell them what they are doing is bad for the planet. And note:- those countries have far fewer regulations and even less enforcement than the EU and US and other western nations. Just wait till that catches up with the planet.
Actually I'd like a mode where it essentially limited to the speed limit unless I chose to exceed it for lets say overtaking. I have this almost in my current car instead of cruise control a speed limit is set. It only needs to follow the GPS defined speed limits to be more useful.
While these claims sound crazy, some crazy ideas eventually prove to be correct Ask Nicola Tesla and many others who were told their ideas were ridiculous. so only time will tell who is a crank you or him
Bill Shorten https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Likely to be Australia's Next Prime minister and most of his party are former Union Leaders and when they win the leader is either former union leader or union managemnt of some sort. While this may not be the case in the US we have a problem with unions in Australia https://www.theguardian.com/au...
Note the US is one country on slashdot, the rest of the world is represented here also
But I find these days most Union leaders are more in it for themselves than the workers and they are looking for more union due paying members to support their lifestyle or political ambition
You'd think the 'big media' companies would have someone with half a brain that can understand this stuff, wouldn't you? They probably do, but the ones without half a brain are spending all their restricted brain power telling them to be quiet.
No they know most of what they produce is crap and you will only watch it if you don't know that and that is what they are aiming for. If they made the movie with their own money out of there own pocket and had to rely then to make a profit without creative accounting they would be better.
The cow looked out over the fence and saw the grass looked greener so she hopped the fence and kept following the greener grass then she suddenly looked back and noticed her home had the greenest grass of all so she went back and decided she should take care of her home. Sometimes we are all like that cow and this image showed us that our home is already the greenest and maybe we should take care of it.
Doesn't mean we shouldn't go out on an adventure to help appreciate what we have

They are already there studying business without the genetic enhancement. Now its much to understand why your boss makes monkeys noises

My wife who was saved by "socialist medicine" twice begs to differ with you.
Socialist medicine paid for by a capitalist pig always works.

Are they also taking the money back from authors ? or compensating them for lost sales as very few knew this existed.

Who gets to determine the "value" of someone? Everyone has value to someone else. Value is subjective and relative.
You could be a valued food source to some people.

Never mind that the modern renewables are already cheaper than coal. Coal's days are done.
We stop the subsidies then

Actually Coal Ash aka Fly Ash is used in cement production so most of it is not in land fill as are many other byproduct of coal power

Why stop at milk and ice cream we could have bread dropped of into a specially made bread box no plastic bag required
so why should China invite others for their power plants, ..?
They already stole the US designs now they need others for comparison and to "innovate"
