Yes, I do in fact want someone else's money is always a popular question. The question is, if two wolves and a sheep vote on what's for dinner, why would anyone think that's legitimate? If I came to your home with a couple friends, and we all voted on if your stuff should be our stuff, how is that legitimate?
If you own the stock today, it doesn't matter what it traded for yesterday.  If XYZ is trading for $40 and you own it, ask yourself if it's worth buying today for $40.  If it isn't, you may want to consider selling it and buying something that is worth $40.
So the reason that money disappeared is that someone was charitable? In your example of making 12 non-printed Loddars, the farmer gained meat and the hunter gained shoes, but the shoemaker never got his apples - he just lost shoes.    It seems that value never disappeared from the planet. It is just that some got more than some others.    So is the reason that countries suffer financial problems the gap between the rich and the poor?
"Its neither. Its a scam. there's no value underlying it, and it has proven to be the most speculative and untrustworthy investment there is. The scam works like a pyramid scam, so the more people come later on the more people who came in earlier on gain, so that is why you see so much hype around it encouraged and fueled by those early adopters who'll cash out at your expense. Imagine people who jumped on the bandwagon when each coin was worth a mere fraction of a dollar - they want you to ""invest"" at the current price of hundreds of dollars per unit so that they could cash out. You'd be better off with tulips, really. (And don't be discouraged by the downvotes on this answer, of course those scamers will try to shut me down. That will just prove the point.)"
"The question I think is not: ""What is a certain material worth in a coin"" but ""What is a certain material worth in a coin and how much does it cost to get it out of there"". Just because something contains a certain element doesn't mean that you can get to it cheaply. Also as George Marian said: I don't think that it is legal to melt coins. So if the time comes you would first have to find a company willing to process the coins etc. Also you should not only compare what it is worth now and at a later time but also what that money would be worth if you put it into a high yielding savings account or something like that."
Seems to have an economic miracle considering 10-20 years ago, China was really really poor and now we have tons of international students driving Lamborghinis coming from China. Not sure how much that is worth but that's my 2 cents.
"Ok this is random but now I am super curious -- how can one argue plastic's inability to store value comes artificially/by opinion?  As a man-made good, are there not any finite restrictions on its creation?  It reminds me of the Golgafringians of Douglas Adams' *Life, the Universe, and Everything* when they attempted to make leaves a currency.  Or do you argue something along the lines that plastic's value is artificial in the same manner as the dollar -- whether it is paper or plastic it can represent a promised/existing product despite its potentially infinite nature?  And yeah, I know ""potentially infinite"" is a TERRIBLE term given the finite nature of anything on earth required to make plastic...but I couldn't come up with a better term though I am sure one exists"

There are a few things that this question prompts -
Agree with you here. I had to hammer in that concept for all our upcoming IT projects ~ most of these guys just never think in those terms, but frankly, that's the main way we decide on which projects to invest in with a limited budget. How the hell else am I supposed to put it? Results is only half the picture - huge results with even larger costs doesn't automatically  make it a good idea.

Thanks for your reply. I had heard of utilitarian principles used to justify slavery and felt like a dick so I spent some time on Wikipedia familiarizing myself with it before replying. Following quotes are from Wikipedia, unless stated otherwise Link - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilitarianism &gt; Utilitarianism is a theory in normative ethics holding that the proper course of action is the one that maximizes overall happiness. Sounds reasonable Seems there are two schools of thought &gt;Act utilitarianism maintains that an action is right if it maximises utility; &gt;rule utilitarianism maintains that an action is right if it conforms to a rule that maximises utility. It is something that has been criticized by both Karl Marx as well as Pope John Paul II so it can't be all bad :) &gt;Act and rule utilitarians differ in how they treat human rights themselves. Under rule utilitarianism, a human right can easily be considered a moral rule. Act utilitarians, on the other hand, do not accept human rights as moral principles in and of themselves, but that does not mean that they reject them altogether: first, most act utilitarians, as explained above, would agree that acts such as enslavement and genocide always cause great unhappiness and very little happiness; second, human rights could be considered rules of thumb so that, although torture might be acceptable under some circumstances, as a rule it is immoral; and, finally, act utilitarians often support human rights in a legal sense because utilitarians support laws that cause more good than harm. I think the above means I would be ~~an act~~ a rule utilitarian, if I was one. However, the page linked to something else which is what I use in my decisions, most of the time - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_theory &gt;Decision theory in economics, psychology, philosophy, mathematics, and statistics is concerned with identifying the values, uncertainties and other issues relevant in a given decision, its rationality, and the resulting optimal decision. It is closely related to the field of game theory as to interactions of agents with at least partially conflicting interests whose decisions affect each other.

I think that is very consistent with how any hiring/purchasing decision gets made -- there are a lot absolute nos... a fair number of absolute yeses... and the rest is left more to chance than the winners would care to admit.  Getting bumped for something seemingly arbitrary is not remotely uncommon, nor is winning b/c of something arbitrary.

I want to encourage diversity in means of producing goods so I organised subcategories by the means necessary to produce said goods, I organised categories by the same types of items that are all in a similar price range than each other, the randomiser will pick an item of the same category but of a different subcategory. (yogurt and cheese are in the same category, and same subcategory because the means of production is the same, so price change of one won't affect the economy as much)

An example of wrongly spent money on entertainment: My friends and I went to the cinema to see a movie without checking the reviews beforehand. It was so awful that it hurt, even with the discount price we got. Ultimately, we all ended up remembering that time and laughing about how wrong it went. So it was somehow, well spent, since I got a nice memory from that evening. A purchase is appropriate if you get your money's worth of utility/pleasure. Three Console and computer gaming, and commendation of the latter There are few arguments for buying a console instead of upgrading your current computer (if needed) except for playing console exclusives. It seems unlikely that a handful of exclusive games can justify purchasing a non upgradeable platform unless you can actually get many hours from said games. Previous arguments to prefer consoles instead of computers are that they work out of the box, capability to easily connect to the tv, controller support... have been superseded by now. Besides, pc games can usually be acquired for a lower price through frequent sales. More about personal finance and investment

"Selling as well as buying a stock are part science and part art form.  I remember once selling a stock at its 52 week high too. That particular stock ""quadrupled"" in value over the next 52 weeks.  Mind you I made 50% ROI on the stock but my point is that none of us have a crystal ball on whether a particular stock will ever stop or start going up or stop or start going down. If someone had those answers they wouldn't be telling you they would be practicing them to make more money! Make up your mind what you want to make and stick by your decisions.  Bulls make money when stocks go up and Bears make money when they go down but pigs don't make money. -RobF"

Looks like you mostly have it right, a few comments on your points.
travel industry professional here - the selection of hotels/holidays you show people when they do a search is crucial (in my experience the single most powerful tool at your disposal).   the best websites take as many factors into account that they can and offer a different mix depending on the type of searcher. Showing more upmarket product is very lucrative in the right circumstances, and often has a better conversion rate. This Orbitz stuff makes complete sense.
Here's a few things:
Your website is the face of your business and only a good web design can portray your image correctly to the website visitors. If you try to find a designer online, you will find the web full of designer profiles. This list will include huge companies as well as novice design enthusiast. Although sometimes, the difference is obvious, at other times it can be hard to tell.
"You don't understand our current system at all if you think people aren't making decisions for you. This is a false narrative pushed by insurance companies trying to get us back to the system that got us here. We spend the most &amp; get the overall worst outcomes of any industrialized nation. ACA's failures were bullshit put in by the GOP &amp; collusion by insurance companies and Republican governors. It wasn't perfect, but it would have been a helluva lot closer if the GOP hadn't lied and colluded through the process. Their 217 amendments were mostly garbage add-ons. I actually read it. Our military would be a ""failure"" if its funding was constantly threatened &amp; fucked with and colluded against by government &amp; private companies. Source: I wrote the 20 year health plan for the Republican Governor of the State of Florida ten or so years ago and have lobbied &amp; built facilities and other projects in healthcare before I left to work in startups."
"Plenty!  Following are just a few: For things like RESP and RRSP which have an ""end"" date; as you or your children age, you should be migrating to less speculative investments and more secure ones.  When children are young, for example, you might be in a ""growth"" type fund.  Later on, you would likely want to switch that to an ""income"" fund, which is also more conservative and less likely to lose principal. Are you getting the best benefit from your credit cards?  Is there another card with benefits that you would get more ""back"" from using?  Is that fee-based Air miles card worth it?  Is cash-back better for you? If you have regular investment withdrawals, can you increase them?  Do you like the plan they are going in to?  Similarly look over any other long-term debt repayment.  Student loans, car loans, mortgage.  What is coming up this year, what is ""ending"".  If, for example, car payment will end, how will you earmark that money, so it just does not disappear into general funds. While you could go over things like these more often, once a year should be plenty often to keep tabs and not obsess. Good Luck!"
On the quality angle a big part of it is experience, but the biggest thing is careful observation.  You have to take a close, critical look at any article of clothing.  (This holds true for just about any purchase.) As far as finding them for reasonable prices it's the usual thing: sales and buying them second-hand. Finally, regarding maintenance:
I have control over the time I spend in certain places, yes. The point is to be involved in as many things as possible. Meet new people, generate relationships, etc etc.   Any amount of success I've had at what I do comes from spending the time getting to know and become friends with people. I don't really consider that luck.
That can be true, however, while still seeing their choices made in relation to those made by democrats. Further, when you explain the situation, you can just as easily switch which side labeled ""harmful"" and ""helpful."" Are solutions to social problems which entail tax burdens placed consistently on one portion of the population again and again the ""harm""? Is it the tax cut which now underfunds an existing outlay? Or, is it an unhealthy relationship where one group expands and the other tries to reign in which leads to systemic instability? Moving away from evaluative language like ""harmful/helpful"", ""good/bad"", ""fair/unfair"" challenges us to articulate the history, the desired outcome, and move away from *us* vs. *them* thinking. You don't get an ideal correct solution with that approach but you do get closer to practical good enough ones that way."
"&gt; Most people are  ""Will this job make me popular?"" is a pretty uncommon consideration when making career choices.  There's no ""Jobs that Increase Your Popularity"" category on Monster.com!

One big deciding factor will be what standard of living you want to maintain once you move out.  Your parents have had years to get raises, accumulate savings, and establish the standard of living you are used to.   Regardless of how much you save up now, you'll still have to be living at or below your means once you move out, that means that all the expenses you currently have covered by your parents have to come out of something you are currently spending elsewhere.  If they can come out of whatever extra money you have now, then great.  If not, you'll have to re-align your budget to align with your income. In my experience, seeing my friends and I move out, this was the biggest issue.  Those who settled into a new standard of living until their wages went up did fine (even the few who moved out at 18 with no savings).  Those who couldn't drop the extra expenses, and wanted to continue living at their parent's standard of living either never left home, ended up moving back, or ended up massively in debt.  We're only just hitting 30 now, so it didn't take long for things to settle out.
"This is why I don't care about ""sales"" and ""sale price.""  My thought process goes ""Compared to everything else I've seen is this a good price?""   for example, a super high quality leather jacket could go for $3-400+ if the sale price on a similar leather jacket of similar quality is $50 I consider that a good price."
A major consideration is also formula.  IF your child is breast fed, it will save you some money, but it doesn't work for all children.  There are also a wide variety of prices/qualities of formula.

That however does not change the fact that there are times and always will be where filtering on philosophy is in fact the right thing to do for the business and exactly what they'll do, whether they admit to it or not.
Election -&gt; policies -&gt; potential adverse effects on the bottom line. It's not like they aren't related. (I'm just playing devil's advocate; I'd like to think he wouldn't make important staffing decisions until those policies are enacted and actually affecting his business.)
I'll agree to that. They are definitely manipulations that end up with unintended consequences.   Even the idea of tying stock to the CEO's salary was intended to make the CEO think long term, but what happened is that they figured out how to game the system. Which is unfortunate, especially since the employees end up taking the brunt of that. Need a stock boost? Lay off some people, buy back some stock or announce something.

People who are angry at some businesses never mention the owners name because they are too angry to find out.  I take all horrible reviews to task for this, as typically ex employees go out of their way to name and insult staff.
This is a nice narrative, but the organizations I have operated in put a good amount of effort trying to de-bottleneck production issues by going straight to the front lines. My current org does an annual survey (with tons of open ended questions) and listening sessions around 5 year plans. Also every production employee gets a weekly 30 minute session with their direct report.  Now it takes some effort to separate signal from noise (yes, everyone wants to be paid more and receive frequent strategic communication).  Now grossly inefficient general and administrative costs that thrash bottom line .. we have that in spades!!
Tons of files to read, deadlines to meet, meetings to attend… apart from doing your actual work of contributing to the business. In the middle of everything lie a few smart choices which have the potential of making things a lot easier for you. Adopting a CRM like Wakeupsales is one such choice
And people who are older, and don't have a firm grasp on computers, often have surprising connections and resources.  As annoying as it can be, at times, to talk that 80 year old person through something incredibly basic (that you may have already explaining to them before), they can often have more impact on your company than the general public of the tech savvy crowd.
"Mission is easily the toughest item on this list to get right and not look like a corporate douchebag. Especially since *Office Space* lamented ""listening to eight different bosses drone on about mission statements"" 13 years ago and it really stuck.  It seems mission and strategy are somewhat interchangeable, and strategy isn't as tainted with meaninglessness. Either way, to me the important point here is clarity of overall vision for the company from the top and communicating that strategy all the way down the chain. Other points like 1. Target, 5. Expectations, and 8. Future fall out of that if it's done right.  And plastering some branded version of that strategy on a bunch of trinkets is *definitely* not right."
Maybe he is dying and his kids have said they don't want to take control. So he negotiates the deal now so he can live out his days and feel comfortable the company who has it will take it in directions he'd prefer it to go. It's Disney so they will stay family friendly vs another company that may have gone R .
I think he could sell for about 6 or 9 months out of the year.   If he wanted to cash in, he could just resign.   He makes no salary so that is no harm to him.   He is in the top spot simply because he is the best man to lift share prices.
Because now instead of getting a little profit from the kits they might get a lot more when peple have to buy one of their brands. I am sure they thought this through and know a lot more about I than anyone here.
It's a balance between selling it all, which would be instantly incriminating, and selling a small amount while you still can that still amounts to more than most Americans make in a year. If they sold it all, we wouldn't be having this argument.
My thoughts are that if you've seen considerable growth and the profit amassed would be one that makes sense, you would have to seriously consider selling NOW because it could take yeoman's time to mimic that profit in the next 10 quarters or so.  To analogize; If you bought a house for 100k and we're renting it for say 1,000/month and we're making $ 250/month profit and could sell it now for 125k, it would take you 100 months to recoup that $25k profit (or 8 years 4 months). Doesn't it make sense to sell now? You would have that profit NOW and could invest it somewhere else without losing that period of time, and TIME is the emphasis here.
