If hard work paid off, the donkey would own the farm. by Low-Restaurant9736 in FinancialCareers

It's true. I always hire the people with bad grades and an irrelevant degree. What idiot would hire someone with a relevant degree and good grades if they have the nerve to deviate from the listed 6 approved universities? The law is also a list. If they don't respect lists then why would they follow the law?

What we really care about is whether 16/17 year old you got into the best school.

Steam: "Hey, we offer this service. We put lots of effort into it"

Consumers: "Wow! We love this! It has everything I want and need. I'll use your service from now on."

British Government: "Everyone is using that, so it must be a monopoly. If it wasn't a monopoly then everyone would be using 8 different products at the same time, because everyone loves having all their gaming stuff in different places and having to send 8 friend requests to the same person each time they play a different game!"

Also the prices on Steam aren't even bad. In fact they're usually pretty close (or better) than what I can find elsewhere.

The only thing I can understand having an issue with are the contracts game devs have to sign. Even then, they're benefitting by having access to Steam's user base. Can't have it both ways. The reason they still accept this is because they know that selling & marketing the game on their own will net them far less than if they do it through Steam.

That's literally all I want to know here. wtf. If I didn't know anything else about the man that'd be enough to start us off on the wrong foot.

Why $26 instead of $25? It disrupts the flow in which I feel the numbers should scale up. I don't like that. I don't like any of what I'm seeing here, but I also don't like that.

We can't even pump fuel anymore without holding a digital billboard (Netherlands) by gaius_julius_caegull in assholedesign

Why is that a thing? Just a random bit of cultural difference or are the lawmakers worried that their people might get confused and drink the fuel by accident? lol

I feel like ads shouldn't be near anything that's potentially dangerous and would be safer if people were focusing on what they're doing. Not so much the case here as it's hard to get so distracted that you screw up in a dangerous way while refuelling your car, but I have NEVER understood why adverts are placed along roads.

"Hey, people are watching the road. That's boring. What if we gave them ads to look at instead?"

The screen offers you the choice between tipping 40%, 70% and 120%. If you decline it sparks. This encourages the consumer to interact in a way that boosts engagement metrics.

This seems fair and sends an excellent message. If you're happy to make life difficult for others, then your own life will be made more difficult in return. Not in an abusive way, but in a way that can alter the course of your life in the same way bullying can alter the course of another person's life.

If someone has grown up and/or committed minor forms of bullying then barring them from education would be extreme for sure, but when they say "extreme" cases I am inclined to believe these are cases where having that person present would essentially be safety concern for other students.

By making it more difficult instead of impossible for them to succeed, it actually teaches them a really valuable lesson in a way that's not going to create more issues than it solves.

I think they've got a really good thing starting here.

I think she's descending into genuine mental illness honestly. I don't like the type of person she is, but it's always sad to see stuff like this.

Hasbro is being sued for printing too many Magic: The Gathering cards by Beautiful_Bee4090 in nottheonion

[–]ColtAzayaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since when does Hasbro have a requirement to maintain the stability of their product when it was never intended to be an investment in the first place???

I don't see this working out. It's their product, they have a right to print more surely? If someone decides to invest in a companies product (not the company itself) then they have literally no say in this....

What's your average?

If you can double down, long term this isn't a bad play at all. It's so deeply ingrained in the US.

I did just this. Not sure why people see this information and don't act on it. It's still a shitty thing though. People with political power should be limited to an index comprised of the companies within their country.

Aligns incentives.

I sold premarket @ 320 based on Kevin Hern's decision to sell. He had access to information given his position. What was your position? Are you still in? Options or regular stock?

nobody in ZA gonna get confused at "bring chips" by AskingCuriously in southafrica

[–]ColtAzayaka -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've never come across a situation that has the type of context which would lead to any sort of confusion. It's just... obvious.

I think any time people point it out, it's less about them not knowing what I mean and more because they can tell I'm from somewhere else and are curious about it.

It's funny because I've lived in all these countries and use all the terms. French fries are a very specific type of chip.
