Yeah, but it's going to be quite a hunt to find an ETF that does NOT include any of the current obvious-cash-out IPOs.

But that's kinda the point. What future earnings, given that so far they have none? To make a profit, they would have to dramatically change their fees. As in: Quadruple at least. That's going to destroy the user base really quickly. And as Altavista found out: Once you are no longer synonymous with a service, you are easily replaced.

That seems to be the goal of all these massive IPOs recently. For early investors to cash out before the bubble bursts.

More importantly: Capitalism is an ECONOMY and market system. It is NOT a blueprint for a society. You can run your commerce and trade as capitalism, when you run your SOCIETY along capitalism principles you end up... essentially with the USA.

This is the part that is constantly forgotten. As a society, we have values that are not represented well within capitalism. But for some reason, we dumb shits think that we can treat everything as a market and apply capitalism to it and that will magically solve problems. But in education, just as one random example, the goal of it all is educated adults as output. It is not maximizing profit. Same for the prison system, the healthcare system and two dozen others.

It's greed, pure and simple.

Making a good product is possible. KEEPING making good products for decades is hard. Even more importantly: You will have hits and misses. Which, for a quarterly-result-bonus oriented manager is a no-no. Subscription models mean plannable revenue streams. Then all you need to do is negotiate your bonus package so that the already existing subscriptions will provide and you're home free and can already order your 2nd yacht.

So then what is the point of Yoda being immensely old? Is he basically 63 in Yoda years?

It did. The authoritative upstream repository for the Linux kernel is hosted at kernel.org, not GitHub.

The "victory" is literally "pwning the libs." The thought process is, "Anything that denies them something that they want makes them weaker and us stronger." The base rallies and cheers, and meanwhile Trump and his cronies go back to extracting ungodly amounts of wealth from the entire world's resources.

Kinda unlikely. If you leave anything sitting under the ocean, it's going to experience significant wear and tear. If there's no budget even to monitor the status of the monitors, let alone conduct routine maintenance, they're likely to be as good as junk by the time they're switched back on.

Not to mention that the data is also used in industry, particularly in farming and fishing, where it is used to predict climate-related events. And this aren't just long-term events we're talking about. "Where are the fish likely to be this year" is a question this data can help answer.

What? I have one. It's hooked up (through an adapter) to the VoIP port on my fiber router. It rings and everything.

Which is, of course, nonsense. Nothing stops you from making a copy of encrypted data. What sucks is that for a backup, you likely can't do incremental.

Yeah? So how come he never speaks and has the language comprehension of a 3-year-old?

In your case it might simply be that there was not enough of this kind of tasks in the training data.

How did you "just get" something that has yet to be released?
