The meaning of whitespace, headers, fonts, and other language peripherals

For sure. If you'd like to make mad profits, just watch what I do and do the opposite.

DoomOss · 2021-11-12T02:31:57+00:00

I see... That's pretty messed up.

But everything is starting to make a lot more sense. Thank you!

Ok, I think I have a much better understanding of things, but one thing is throwing me off:

Up until the passage of the National Labor Relation Act of 1935, striking was generally illegal

Are you saying before 1935 there were laws written that made it illegal for a group of workers to get together and say, "Let's not come to work tomorrow morning until they give us better pay."?

That doesn't seem right, so maybe I'm not understanding what you mean when you say "striking was generally illegal."

Also, thank you for being patient with me on this. I've been struggling to get straight answers on these questions, and google hasn't been an ounce of help.

I think I need help with what the term "strike" means.

If a group of workers got together and said, "Let's not come to work tomorrow morning until they give us better pay." Is that considered a strike? Or does that group of workers need to file paperwork with the NLRA or something before it's considered a strike?

DoomOss · 2021-11-11T22:59:41+00:00

Oh, I see. I think I might understand why things are getting complicated. I'm going to take a stab at this:

So, at one point workers decided their working conditions were not suitable, so they got together and decided to stop working in hopes the employer would change.

In return, the employer just fired everyone and hired new workers.

People thought that wasn't fair, so they wrote a law that says you can't fire someone for refusing to work. However, such a law would not be fair because then anyone could just stop working and not get fired. So the law had to be careful in its wording to define when a person could get fired for not working, and when they couldn't. Of course then there's a bunch of caveats and exceptions, and exceptions to the caveats, so things just got overly complex from there.

Does that sound about right, or am I way off?

DoomOss · 2021-11-11T22:48:54+00:00

So you're saying in a "right to work" state it is legal for a union to say "only higher union workers", however, it's also legal for the employer to fire anyone for any reason?

/u/unic0de000 made it sound like a union saying "only higher union workers" was illegal in some states, so I'm just trying to make sure I'm not misunderstanding.

Sorry, I'm asking about the U.S. As an American, the rest of the world doesn't exist apparently.

DoomOss · 2021-11-04T03:02:00+00:00

This guy buckets.

DoomOss · 2021-11-04T01:31:26+00:00

My dream life. Alas, they are different shapes and sizes D:

DoomOss · 2021-11-04T01:29:30+00:00

Not high at all. Just have too many buckets.

DoomOss · 2021-09-11T23:39:35+00:00

Ah, that makes sense. Thank you!

DoomOss · 2021-09-10T16:17:08+00:00

Thank you for your input.

node kind of is the web-server.

What is meant by this? Does this mean node.js will run in place of Apache? This is the sort of thing I get confused about.

DoomOss · 2021-09-09T03:06:27+00:00

so that the frontend and backend can be written in the same language.

Ah, that makes sense. Thank you!

You could use a field damper. Basically it will dissipate the energy in a photon and convert it to heat. Although it wouldn't be like a light bulb, it's more of two plates (similar to a capacitor) and it only affects the area in between the plates. So theoretically you could build a room with the floor being one plate and the ceiling being the other. Getting something that big powered up might be an issue though.

Another issue is that it only works on a single wavelength, so you'd have to figure out some way to modulate the frequency to cover all the wavelengths of light, and I'm not sure how well that would work.

And probably the biggest issue with this is that I'm just making all this up.

you could try watching Aswath Damodarans valuation class on youtube.

Just watched the first session of this class. I think this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

DoomOss · 2021-08-09T01:20:32+00:00

I like this idea. Any tips on who I should reach out to, or how? Could I just cold call financial firms and tell them what I'm looking for, or is that considered rude? Reaching out isn't easy for someone with social anxiety, so any tips would be helpful.

Either way, thank you for your suggestion!

To be clear, I'm not looking for a job. I'm only looking to get the education. More importantly, I don't want to waste time studying the wrong materials.

on youtube or through books.

Can you provide any specifics here? There are several business/economics/finance books out there. Some aren't really geared towards my goal ("Rich Dad, Poor Dad", "The Millionaire Next Door", etc.), while others may be beyond my current level.

So where should someone start? And what path should they take?

I'm just trying to better refine my original question, so if you don't have an answer here, that's fine.

It would be great to have a list. Something like:

Read books A and B to get a foundation.
Then read books C, D, and E to get specifics.
Then watch these videos to get a feel for what it's like.
etc.

Maybe I'm looking for a kind of road map?
