Yeah, but we’ve had countless examples of loss-making tech companies with sky-high valuations. Amazon didn’t make a profit for something like 20 years. Investors of course want returns, but they can differ on the timeframe they’re willing to wait for them.
Evangelicals are an almost entirely US phenomenon. In the rest of the world, Protestant countries like Germany and the UK are more liberal than Catholic countries like Ireland and Italy. For example, Italy “legalised” abortion in 1978 but the vast majority of gynaecologists refuse to perform them on religious grounds. Ireland didn’t legalise until… 2019!
Yes. Saying “at least half of Ireland” made it sound like you thought Ireland was divided in its religious affiliations. It would make sense if you were talking about Northern Ireland, which has faced more than a century of bitter sectarian division, but Ireland is solidly Catholic.
Are you thinking of Northern Ireland (part of the UK)? Ireland is more than two-thirds Catholic.
Proof they aren’t American-trained…
I think people in the future will look back on how we raise livestock today as barbaric.
Did you read the article? It looks at voting data.
You Oughta Know isn’t even from the 21st century.
It seems like Vision Pro allows selective focusing.
To further clarify: These figures are entirely based on estimates. They’re not “more visible” because of the abortion bans (the statistics used to make the estimates are based on pre-ban crime figures and an assumption about the percentage of rapes that result in pregnancy).
I’m not saying this to criticise the study, but it’s important to understand what the numbers represent.
Aviation types still hang out on Pprune.org.
Are you going to jailbreak roadside assistance?
Is there a reason you don’t just get a joint bank account (or credit card)? Put equal amounts in each month and use that for all shared expenses. Zero effort, totally fair.
It’s true that a lot of data isn’t sold, but a large chunk of the figure you quote also seems to include business data — stuff that contains zero personal information but is still hugely valuable to companies and investors (look at how much this report costs, for example, or consider that a Bloomberg terminal costs around $25k/yr).
And remember, those investment buyers make up a big chunk of the consumer data market too and are only interested in aggregated insights to inform trading strategies. They don’t care about personal info or targeted ads.
There are lots of things that can go wrong with film.
What does that ~70% refer to? Japan is about 5% of Apple’s global revenue and iOS is installed on around 50% of Japanese phones.
The golf course isn’t on an island.
The BoJ measures inflation to help it manage the economy. It’s not a political tool. As an individual, changes in your cost of living are personal to you. You don’t need the central bank or the government to tell you about it.
Obviously, the BoJ isn’t focused on individuals. It wants to see what’s happening across the whole economy. Through research that is freely available, it has determined that the index provides a more reliable signal when volatile fresh food prices are excluded (because the things that typically cause these prices to change, like the weather, don’t reflect a broad shift in the economy).
You’re wrong that energy isn’t included. That sentence is referring to a different (“core-core CPI”) index, which is higher at 4% because energy prices have gone down. Japan’s energy problems are as result of the post-Fukushima shift from nuclear, largely a result of public opinion.
Put simply, CPI isn’t a measure of “cost of living“. It’s a tool for central bank policy.
A huge amount of the pollution comes from farmers burning stubble. The solution to that isn’t complex.
It’s the same in many fields. Trainees learn by doing the easy, repetitive work that can now be automated.
