Morgan Freeman's character, Professor Samuel Norman said, "It is estimated that most human beings only use 10% of the brain's capacity." So this is quite true. Look forward to become Scarlet Lucy! Imagine we do 100%!

Argentina only. I worked in super multi congloromerates HR. USD is near 100%. We avoided South America because unstability and persistent high inflation. We do have other South American working in different regions (yes, including those from IT/AI you name it). They all being paid with USD or their residence currency. When I was in another company, small one, we did paid with baseball cards too (I doubt anyone willing to consider that as usual payments)

Apple also spent money on cars too. They likely could have spent billions judging by their tell-tale hiring ads over the past decade. What they are good at is huge amount of cash to operate very clandestinely (just park other RnD in their guidance) and they rarely tell stockholders what they doing other than the mundane usual iPhone, iPad, Foxconn, MacOS news. Meta, Google and Alphabet do things very publicly whether they intentionally seek publicity or unintentionally leaked out (like their near santient AI - they must have it with firing of so many concerned scientists there - only 2 prominent one make it to news, there are others....and didnt released it with OpenGPT beating them)

Intonation. He writes by thinking aloud (or in his head) how he says it. Usually we type simply by following grammar. But the way you read a sentence can imply different meanings or subtle emphasis what matters or "between the lines thingy". You can see TESLA being capitalize seems to hint he is a bit emotional whenever TESLA topic being brought up. As poster commented below, he should be capitalizing ORIGINAL given his observations of past price volatility. But instead, TESLA is consistently capitalized. I could be wrong if he intended to use the stock ticker name TSLA (perhaps the E is typo).

At least there are copius amount of dragons cgi in S8 GoT. Wheel of Time is a waste of time to watch. That witcher Blood is also mediocre despite strong casts. I expect S3-S4 Witcher will be bad as well. Netflix is really going for dumpster metrics these days. Even if the viewership is no at Squid level, complete the storyline. HBO able to do that with Westworld. Netflix the biggest streamers cant.

You want to talk about professionals? Why not Shadowstat? The person who is doing the national calculation is not pro. They are bureaucrats subject to political adjustments. I have friends in six states everyone of them tallying their monthly expenses which increased more than 30%+ compared sametime last year. If yours didnt either you have significantly cut down your expense or oddly expensing very different to many others. The CPI is grossly not reflecting the reality.

He didnt figure out the concept of online subscription and ads. It shows he wasnt that revolutionary. Just lucky, born at the right time to the right family and lived in right neighborhood/country.

Node-red?

If everything back to just before pandemic, Amazon has 160K of firing need to happen. Recent numbers are inadequate.

Democrats want to govern? Maybe you want to check the 10 bottom cities in America say by crime rate and poverty metrics. Name too 10 cities or even towns in USA and check which party doing the governing.

Just to highlight Singapore government pays millions to high IQ talent to be government ministers. Singapore Prime Minister for example draw about 2-3mil USD range a year in salary and can code sudoku in c++. Many of the civil servants are scholars and have PhDs.

Recommend him continue doing MBA. He isn't that technical even though maybe very gifted academically or even programming. As long as he is not heavy into dirty programming, after 3-4 years he will be very weak compare to his peers. By 10th year he will be totally consider incompetent in programming even though he can read a bit of the codes. Since he is social, it is more likely he able to flourish well in the management level (or sales). Having MBA from reputable school allows him to have direct entry into that tier without needing to go thru the lower ranked CS artisans. I am in HR for more than 3 decades, so that is what I can observe and tell.

Only Islam get that privilege partly due to French magazine publisher bloody attack years ago and Palestinian guilt. The rest like Buddhism, Taoism, Catholic, Protestant, Sikhism, etc usually don't get much specialty treatment. Take Sikhism that require carrying a Sikh dagger and having long hair, I known many universities blatantly forbid it. The main reason is because a small minority of Muslim devotees tend to be very violent when it comes to their religion "honor". And many Westerners are scared of retaliations.

There are 2 kinds of businesses...one extremely profitable and another on dying path. If the company you're dealing with not dime nickel you sooner or later they will be the on the dying path. You can readup Nokia outrageous expenditure in Europe. Heck if they are dying or extremely profitable, just take advantage of it. It is business. Nothing personal.

Considering Clinton, Nancy and current FBIs and CIAs very questionable operations, unfriendly regime is already here.
