Whether you started with a 2600 and a joystick in your hand, an N64 with a blistered palm or building your first PC in your teens, what is that one video game you've played at some point that to this day sits at the top of your list.
You, I mean you personally, cannot generate a billion dollars. Nobody can. I dare you to try. Try to think of a way to make a billion dollars, without already having several hundred million dollars via generational wealth.
You can't generate a billion dollars, but you can find people to generate a billion dollars for you, and then instead of allowing them to share in that billion dollars, you just underpay them. You convince them (by deceit) that $100,000 is a pretty good salary, while you pocket $999,900,000. You tell the government that paying taxes would "significantly harm your business opportunities," so you pay $0 in taxes.
That's how you make a billion dollars. Cheating. Lying. And hoarding. Think twice before you say "not your money" again.
This is a great point, and the same logic applies to someone who's destitute vs someone with the median net worth of about $100,000.
See this is where you failed logarithms. Let's talk domestic and then we'll move on to developing world. To explain it a bit better here's a breakdown. Let's say I take all my net worth and sell it. Lock, stock, and barrel. Convert it to cash and then take 50% of that dollar amount and hand it to someone. That value will allow a single person to have an apartment, furnish it, and pay rent for about 48 months. Now take the same billionaire and put it towards that same person. That 50% of that dollar amount is 43 times more money than if you completely liquidated the entire town of 12,000 in middle of nowhere Tennessee I live in. The billionaire could purchase forty-three of my towns. I can grant someone an apartment for maybe four years.
It's all the same 50%, but because of MATH, it's wildly different in what is possible with that same 50%. That's the "great point" you should be walking away with. Logarithms and orders of magnitude are wild things!
Now let's move to international. Minus the whole point I just made, one would think, oh if I give some money overseas, they'll be able to go to Walmart and grab some rice. Well they don't have Walmart. If I gave them $50k it is about as worth $0 because there's nowhere for the money to go that'll directly help them. It's not till I give them enough money to actually build the Walmart (or whatever shopping center, or you can call the Walmart farming equipment, or access to seed and fertilizer, or whatever basically enough money to grant them access to a resource that is just removed completely from them).
That's the thing people forget about abject destitution. They are so poor and exist in an environment that is so resource poor, handing them $100,000 might help keep them warm at night by burning the cash. But they are SO poor, you need a massive injection of funds to literally kick start their economy, and surprise $100,000, a quarter million, or half a million ain't going to cut it. You need nine figures to even get started and that massively ignores the complexities of the geopolitics and the fun details of despotism. But I side step all of that for simple fact that we just need to keep this to math and what I had previously indicated.
The economy is mostly based around the buying power of the median. So every log₁₀ past that point means massive change.
A developing nation's economy is in 1e-n territory for the median buying power relative to the US dollar. So for large n, you need large positive exponents to compensate. If some economy relative to the US dollar is 1e-6 for purchase power, then me sending 1e5 in funds is still fractional buying power on the order of like 0.1 relative to the dollar.
to feed a bunch of people in the developing world and it wouldn't ruin their life
The feeding you have to remember is someone here in the US buying the food and then sending the food. We buy the food at US prices, so it'll feed at the same rate it feeds a US mouth, because we didn't buy it at developing world nation price, we bought it at US price. We buy the food in the US because those nations are so poor, they do not even have food to buy for them to eat, you have to bring all the money required to invent all of that there.
So like I said, that whole 50% means vastly different things in terms of different log base. It's all the same 50%, yes, but it's wildly different values.
I don’t want to dox myself, but I’ve been at my job for 5+ years. I guess either my boss or I fat fingered something while I was on boarding, cuz just now I was going over some paperwork and… As far as my job is concerned I’m Native American. I am very much white. Nobody ever brought it up....
what difference does it make now? 99% of white americans claim native american ancestry as if we fucked these people into extinction. everyone i know is related to a cherokee or blackfoot princess through their great great great grandparent…i even heard the same story in my family. once i got my dna test results that said “0% native american” i started to wonder exactly how many indian “princesses” there are. if you change it, best case scenario everything stays the same and worst case scenario you get fired for lying on your application. doesnt seem like a good move to rock the boat.
Average consumer these days eat all this shit up unfortunately.
People preorder any old shit, they buy the ultra deluxe editions because they get some red boots for a character and the new thing thats hot right now: X days early access!
People have 0 patience atm, they dont wanna wait a month to see if a game sucks or to save a bit of money, they fork over anything for anything and its completely ruined the triple A gaming scene, with it trickling down into less budgeted games now.

I am not a finance guy; this is my kindergarten-level understanding of the situation:
When the interest rates were hovering down around 0%, it was a no-brainer for VC firms to shotgun money out to everyone who walked past their office building. Most VC money doesn't come from some rich dude's pocket; it comes from banks and hedge funds and other deeply-market-tied entities. If any one startup they've invested in can win the profit lottery, the VCers will massively beat the rate of return they'd get for anything else. One big success can cover a dozen small failures, and, anyway, a business isn't a failure until it's a failure.
Now that interest rates are rapidly moving higher, those startup investments are less of a good deal. VC money is more expensive. VC firms are starting to close out their positions on start-ups that aren't beating them market, because they want to stick their money somewhere more reliably profitable.
Gute Frage. Es ist mir egal, ob sie in ein paar Jahren pleite gehen. Aktuell ist es für mich der beste Anbieter. Ich hatte noch nie so günstigen Strom wie in den letzten 6 Monaten. Das Risiko nach oben ist dank der Preisbremse praktisch bei 0. Da ich keine Abschläge zahlen muss, sondern lediglich meinen monatlichen Verbrauch, ist auch mein finanzielles Risiko bei 0.
BTW: wir können auch Mal darüber reden, ob die TK (oder jede andere KK) Homöopathie bezahlen sollte. So im Sinne von evidenzbasiert…
Die Kosten der GKKen für Homöopathie liegt irgendwo zwischen 20 Millionen und 6,7 Millionen Euro, je nachdem wen man fragt. Vom Gesamtbudget der GKKen (~50 Mrd Euro) sind das etwa 0,04 - 0,015%.
Das ist vor allem eine ideologische Frage, das tatsächliche Einsparpotential ist homöopathisch. Die Größenordnungen, um die es im Artikel geht, bleiben davon unberührt.
Der Vergleich hinkt ein wenig. Das wären eher Autohändler, die den Preisdeckel fordern. Und ja Homöopathie ist Schwachsinn, bewegt sich aber in einer ganz anderen Dimension. 2018 gerade einmal 0,03% der Ausgaben. Also ja, weg damit. Aber die Ausgabe für Medikamente sind 'ne ganz andere Baustelle.

It feels a little weird to me that we can manually upvote our own comments and posts on kbin.
Reddit would automatically set them at +1 because it’s implied that the author would want to upvote their own contributions, and it’s one less hassle if it’s done automatically.
Alternatively, new posts and comments can start at 0, but then I feel like authors should not be able to upvote their own contributions.
Ein gewisses Talent die richtigen Leute einzustellen würde ich ihm noch zusprechen. Ich glaube bei Musk sieht man gerade auch, dass man sobald man absurd viel Geld hat nicht mehr seiner Peer Group vertrauen kann weil jeder vorgefiltert wird und jede noch so dumme Idee von Jasagern mitgetragen wird. Als Musk noch ohne eigene Wohnung und mit 0€-Vertrag (Bezahlung nur mit damals wertlosen Aktien) Tesla aufgebaut hat war er schon noch anders drauf.

Was meinst du mit "ohne eigene Wohnung"?
Musk wurde schon Jahre vorher durch PayPal zum Multimillionär:
[PayPal] erzielte einen Verkaufserlös von 1,5 Milliarden US-Dollar, als es 2002 an eBay verkauft wurde. Musk hielt zu diesem Zeitpunkt 11,7 % der Firmenanteile und war damit der größte Anteilseigner.
Even if they could just make payments $0 the next president could change it. For this to work the actual amount owed needs to be reduced somehow or its just kicking the can down the road.
Ich habe jetzt mal Hafermilchdrink mit leichten Vanillegeschmack verprobt und nehme die im Verhältnis 100 % zu 0 % Kaffeewasser. Das ist jetzt einigermaßen in Ordnung geschmacklich.
