Now you need a decade of food storage, a bunker and a solar battery backup for your house.

The FANG's will tell you what you need to hear to invest money in them. Take for example metaverse, it's a good sell to drag investors along even though most on /. could tell that it would be a flop from the beginning. All they have to do is tell you that something big is on the way, sometimes they deliver and sometimes they don't. But AI is one of the first technologies delivered that they have been promising something they may or may not be able to deliver. In the 00's during the dot com bust, we already had computers, the question was the business model. Nobody knows if we can get to AGI, it's just assumed that a magical AI god is around the corner and most are willing to throw whaever money they can at that god. But the real people that win are C-suites, they get money to pull ahead of the competition at investors expense if they don't deliver.

Is a misnomer, because they are eliminating base load and adding more reactive elements power prices are increasing.

every store that charges 30%, it's absolutely ridiculous for most every listing service that charges that amount. You would think that an online listing would be somewhere in the 5% range. Hosting doesn't cost that much for software. Reviewing content and scanning apps for viruses, yeah that's a little more work.

There is a reason these companies are the richest on the planet, because they don't provide value, they provide a monopoly over their users.

The biggest thing with legalizing gambling is you are giving the rubber stamp and saying its OK. It's not OK, it drains money from people that don't have it. It affects sports. It enslaves some people that can't walk away from the dopamine hit and aren't smart enough not to gamble. You will have illegal gambling whether you legalize it or not. We always have people running stoplights and that is illegal, but it's never OK.

were smart enough to recognize that gambling has no benefit. And it really takes something from sports with people throwing games. Why we ever allowed it is beyond me, but money talks.

with the ESPN\Disney blackout with youtube TV?

don't do much and are still working out of excel (my sample size is 3 accountants two of which work in a big 4 company). It doesn't take much to be a financial wizard when you can start to automate stuff. AI is enabling accountants to be somewhat dangerous at coding.

But most don't use it to track prices, I have seen several instances where I've opened up the same page in a private tab and the price is different.

reset your cookies or use a private browser, most companies won't know who you are. Those who are stupid enough not to price check deserve to be gouged.

with AI. The frenzy is real, people died some became rich. Most of those who became rich in the gold rush were the merchants that supplied the miners. But if all you a doing is spending your strength trying to out travel the other guy to the claim, you might want to think about what you are doing, because most of those guys didn't win.

and the value of bitcoin is hype. If you can't keep hyping it then the value falls. The last peak was fueled by the election and the hopes that it would go to the moon. But the problem is after the optics fall away from BTC the value drops and when it drops the more the hype fades. So if you want it to go up, keep hyping it, but I suspect that after a while people will get tired of the whole thing after a while you burn through people who lose money and won't touch an investment again.

they have wasted money on things not relating to education. If they could cut costs, then more people would be interested. It doesn't make as much financial sense for someone to go to school. Would you spend +60k/yr to get a job for sub 100k?

so there are tools that don't need changing. Software needs to get a clue on that.
