I have extensive experience bidding on eBay auctions, I probably engaged in 10 auctions a month for several years in a row.
The first few times I definitely encountered winners curse. But the real/only solution is having accurate price discovery and having a game plan. I will do research to find the current market value and bid in the bottom end of the range. If I miss it, the market is liquid enough such that I can try again and if i hit it, then I am happy because I got it for a low price.
On items with lower liquidity and availability I still need to be patient and disciplined with my bidding. This is the only way to do online auction bidding.
The solution isn’t to celebrate how families need to live in tiny apartments. The solution is to expand new housing outside of the main areas into new developments, and create new business centers or allow for remote work.
The whole online ad industry is based on users honestly clicking on ads so that advertisers get some sort of feedback as to its effectiveness. If extensions are silently clicking on ads, it renders ad metrics and tracking completely irrelevant.
In college, I was always the first one out of my friends to “get” a concept, like fast Fourier transforms, anything with signal processing or even coding or any labs we had to do etc so I would spend time teaching them in the library. However I never did any of the exercises, mostly due to laziness and not arrogance. They would get A’s and I would get C’s and D’s.
I emphasize this story to my kids because knowing isn’t important because everyone eventually figure it out. It’s the ones who can do the problems and get good marks that succeed in the end.
Does anyone honestly care? I can’t think of anything less important than any tweet that is more than a few days old. Literally trillions of tweets could be deleted and no one would care
One of my friends told me at one of the FAANGs, some of the employees were openly asking on financial-planning internal mailing list in how to qualify their kids for financial aid or grants because they made too much.
It seems like signing up for globalization means having to accept consequences like this. You can’t bemoan when invasive species affects local ecosystems when you also allow unabated global transport with absolutely no security or inspection for diseases or insects etc.
You can’t be lazy with inspection and then be shocked when an extremely global eceonomy introduces Bark Beetles and decimate your trees. Either accept this outcome or spend more money at entry points or stop globalization with countries that don’t inspect their exports to avoid the situation completely.
Every Uber driver I’ve had in US and Canada are happy with driving for Uber. One guy I had the other day drives under as his second job and He says it pays his rent, his car payment and gas and his primary job goes straight to savings. The idea that these Uber drivers are slaves is a lie.
That doesn’t make sense, they can’t assume the lock is freed after the timeout. They have to retry to get the lock again, because another process might have taken the lock. Also, redis is single threaded so access to redis is by definition serialized.
Japan needs to move to a 4 day work week. Their culture and lifestyle is sucking the will to live from their young people. Moving to a 4 day work week will help the kids loosen up and feeling confident that they’re not bringing kids into a dystopian matrix-like world where all you do is work and then die.
If you watch and enjoy YouTube in any capacity you should be ensuring that the creators get paid otherwise you’re robbing yourself of content.
