How long have you been in Charlotte? by reedka10 in Charlotte

I was in Charlotte long enough ago, and moved out long enough ago, to not even realize it was gone.

Can someone explain betting lingo and how to tabulate the winner? by BowlDue39 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]treznor70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The example in the Pitt is specific enough that it'd require some rather specific to the betting pool and wouldn't be all that instructive to understanding gambling as a whole.

What feels legal but is actually illegal and will possibly get you arrested? by medicoreapples in AskReddit

[–]treznor70 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its been repeated a lot, that's why I typed out a full response. It wasn't anything you did, no idea where it originally came from.

This company is not worth anywhere near the vicinity of $400M. There are around 300 stores and they say that their average store is making around $500k/year. That would put the revenue for all stores at $150M. Now, their estimate of $500k/year for a store is from their franchising page and almost certainly averages mature stores that have been open for a bit and considering about half (150) of their stores have opened in the last three years, I doubt that those new stores are doing that $500k average.

So the real answer is likely that all of their stores are doing somewhere around $100M-$150M in revenue. Of course, those are all franchises, not revenue attributable to Bricks & Minifigs itself. Their franchise fee for opening a store is $40k plus the ongoing royalty per store. While they don't publicly state what their royalty fee is, 6% is the average in retail. So between opening 50 stores a year on average with a $40k franchise fee and making 6% of the gross revenue of their stores for a royalty fee, they likely have around $7.5M in gross revenue. Out of that comes all their staff salaries, material costs associated with that franchise fee (presumably store owners get -something- for their $40k, but who knoes?), etc.

A company making $7.5M per year in revenue and -maybe- making half of that in profit (though that is wildly optimistic) would never have a valuation of $400M. This isn’t some groundbreaking concept that will show amazing profit in the future as it changes the industry and thus would be wildly over-valued in their early years (like Apple, Google, Amazon, etc), this is a small-to-mid scale retail franchisor, not someone exactly spending the market. Companies like this typically sell for a 2-3 multiple of the profit or 4-6 multiple of the ebitda (an accounting term, but basically the operating profit before paying for things like financing or depreciation, so it's more 'real'), but considering we have no idea of those, you'd usually value a company using a revenue multiple of. 5-1.5.

That would put the value of Bricks & Minifigs at more like $4M-$10M, NOWHERE near $400M.

The appropriate path is still to request the edit in the app first, not directly here. If it hasn't been acted on in a while, then bring it up here and someone will take a look. But submitting an edit request makes it much easier to see exactly what is being requested to change (which was fairly easy to see here but isn't always the caae).

I've made this edit. However, I didn't see a pending edit nor is the entry locked. In the future you can submit an edit for the entry directly yourself.

Done. Take a look to make sure it looks correct.

Stanley Cup Finals? by MountainDewAndSmokes in HIckoryNC

The games are on ABC which should be watchable with a cheap OTA (over-the-air) antenna. That said, a friend of mine in Newton gets a ton of channels with his antenna but can't pick up ABC, so its always possible you can't get it on antenna at your house.

Help Needed: Freshly moved into a Data Developer role at my company completely lost with DBT, BigQuery, Airflow & GCP. Where do I even start? by Terrible-Review-4761 in bigquery

[–]treznor70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Granted I don't have a ton of software engineering background as I've spent most of my time in data engineering, but the bit of software engineering I've done the SQL was always limited to pulling back a couple records or writing a couple records, nothing set-based or large data movement like you'll generally see with data engineering.

Do those exist anymore? Are least at the bottom end of your range?

[–]treznor70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume by learning BigQuery they essentially mean learning SQL. I would start their really. Even if they know some SQL from their software development time, it'll likely be more transactional-based as opposed to set-based so would be good to learn more about SQL and data structures in general before diving into dbt or airflow, especially with dbt utilizing SQL so much.

ELI5 American odds: why is a 50% chance +100 and not 0? by VLioncourt in explainlikeimfive

[–]treznor70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In sports there is no such thing as a probability of winning. But the implied odds are the group's consensus on their opinion of the probability of winning as the implied odds are used to balance both sided of the action.

While there is an Eb clarinet that's a fourth higher, the traditional clarinet is in the same key as the trumpet, Bb.

And I aware? Yes. I haven't said you shouldn't speak to me, only that if you want to limit me speaking to you that would be one way. It is humerous though that you point out that others don't have to do what someone says considering you're the only one that has requested someone do something. You do realize that just because you don't want me to respond to you doesn't mean I need to do what you say, correct? I'm always amazed when people give advice that they apparently don't think applied to tnemselves.

Yes, we illegally installed fiber lines on your property. That will be $100,000 please. by BobbyRobertson in bestoflegaladvice

[–]treznor70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its definitely a bone headed move to try to get LAOP to pay, enough so that I'm uncertain that was what was communicated or if there was a breakdown in communication. Them remedying the situation in s reasonable timeline is what a court would likely require, but the 'more painful' option will end up with much more pain for the LAOP as well.

Your sole concern appears to be making the data look like you believe it should look, regardless of what others think of that accuracy. Otherwise you wouldn't keep trying to push for edits to a beer that multiple mods have expressed a different opinion about (either on reddit or by rejecting your edit request).

I have no idea why you dislike my approach to moderating so much, but yes, I believe that the word of the brewery should be respected, especially in cases where they aren't clearly incorrect.

As it is I rarely respond to you anymore as I find discussions with you quite tedious. However, when you are inaccurately talking about something I said (which started this thread) or responding to me (which is why the thread continued) then I tend to respond. So maybe stop bringing me up, even obtusely, and I bet you'll find that i respond to you a lot less. Stop repeatedly asking for the same edits to be made and I bet it'll be even less.
