Krispy Wafer posted:Eh...maybe. Except the rich are held to the same contribution caps. They'd have to invest directly in stocks without any pre-tax benefits and I don't know how consistent they'd be, especially when the market is at it's peak. 401k contributions are more consistent in both up and down markets and go directly into managed funds that probably have an outsized impact compared to limiting yourself to individual shares. I'm sure lots of rich people use index funds, buuuuut...they probably buy more individual stocks and IPO's. I'm sure Trump never bragged about that great deal he got on an ETF fund. Apparently IRAs are ~38% of stock market capital, but, as of 2013, 81% of stock market wealth was owned by the richest 10% of households (with 38% owned by the top 1%).

Also doesn't mining butts put a lot of stress on graphic cards/hardware and like reduce their lifespan significantly? Also Donnie threaten nukes on NK probably loving up futures prices for all the stuff made in SK.

spite house posted:East Hollywood. I was thinking specifically of the swap meet on Santa Monica between Vermont and Virgil, but there's also a ton of this sort of thing around MacArthur Park and Koreatown. Isn't it the best? I can get Brazilian savory pastries in the back of the Argentinean grocery store on Venice about a mile in one direction from my favorite Jamaican restaurant, and a mile in the other direction from one of my favorite Taiwanese restaurants. Edit: "One of" because LA is a city where I can have three or more favorite Taiwanese restaurants. Zisky fucked around with this message at 00:05 on Dec 24, 2017 |

Still my favorite Bitcoin thing. My other favorite *coin thing was when Litecoin finally busted in 2014 and I was able to get a brand new Radeon 280x for half price from a miner liquidating stock on Ebay. The card was in the box sealed and still works to this day. Cactus Jack fucked around with this message at 00:05 on Dec 24, 2017 |

spite house posted:It is the best and I adore it for many reasons, and trying to explain it to people who haven't spent a lot of time here is frustrating as hell. When I think of Los Angeles I think of this teeming, striving tide of all different kinds of humanity all working our asses off in the middle of what is probably, as far as climate and geography, the closest thing to literal heaven on earth. It feels like the world, and is beautiful and magical and scary and amazing, and when I tell people where I'm from and they start talking about Botox and Real Housewives I want to loving punch them.

Boon posted:Go on... Probably something along the lines of "in the medium to long term, increased demand means a) larger production batch and investment in improved production technology, and b) entry of additional competitors into the market, triggering price wars." That's assuming that the increased demand doesn't outstrip the physical limitations of cheap production of base materials and components. E: Increased demand only means increased prices if the supply curve doesn't shift. That's why I've never much liked those dumb supply/demand curves.

Chilichimp posted:So... competition lowers prices. I mean, not always, but often in the case of emerging markets? And an increase in demand can lead to an increase in the number of companies offering products and trying to break into a market. What do think I'm missing here? E: It's medium/long term dynamics v. short-term steady state equilibria. Just think about what happened to computer prices v. typewriter prices since 1975. E2: I'm not saying that's what would happen right now with graphics card prices, but it's definitely something that happens with major shifts in demand where there are not hard physical limitations for meeting that demand.
