Huh, I thought Accuweather just got their data from NOAA / NWS, and Wikipedia seems to agree: "The National Weather Service, which provides large amounts of the data that AccuWeather repackages and sells for profit, also provides that same information for free by placing it in the public domain." In the bad with money vein, of course there was a Senator that proposed a bill to make it illegal for the NWS to provide data directly to the public (because, government bad, business good or something), but it died with out a vote. I think they still wanted the government to pay for all the fancy satellites and what not, just to make it illegal for anyone besides for-profit business to provide forecasts.

Nirvikalpa posted:Today I found out my parents have a lot of money locked up in a 1-year CD. Like several times their monthly living expenses. My dad says he is trying to time the market but this couldn't possibly be right? Just seems like a waste. But my dad said I could borrow some money and invest it for him though. Without context, whats so bad about that? I wouldnt pick a 1 year CD today over say, an I-bond, but theres nothing inherently wrong with having some percentage of ones assets in government insured investments that cant lose value and have a positive nominal return.

And yes, there are companies paying interest on Bitcoin, but they are of course ranging from extremely to merely somewhat unsavory. The most prominent one in the US (BlockFi) has already been banned in 5 or 6 states for securities violations and a nationwide ban is almost certainly coming.

So, Twitter is a crap way to take in the entirety of a story, apologies for the Twitter links. But, from what I gather, this guy is going for the BWM and BWL hall of fame. Amazon apparently offers financing offers to pay for purchases (apply for this Credit Card and get $x/month payments for some number of months on your purchase). OK, thats not too uncommon these days. Genius decides he should use this ability to buy over five million dollars of Gold: https://twitter.com/w_budgick/status/1443078631518089216 Amazon smartly decides to try and, you know, have this guy prove his identity. He refuses (I assume this is a "muh freedoms" angle). They dont ship him any gold. Enraged, he decides to threaten to murder some Amazon employees on social media. I didnt dig far enough to find this, but thats OK, because Mr. Genius decides to post a scanned copy of a court order laying out these crimes. A judge apparently found these threats credible enough to have his weapons taken away: https://twitter.com/w_budgick/status/1448723316479561731 Among other saucy replies, an actual lawyer chimes in with some good advice (the video is a good one): https://twitter.com/questauthority/status/1448734791134851084

brugroffil posted:Was the plan to defraud Amazon and never pay the credit card bills or something I have to think it was either that, or just a bold play that somehow gold was about to wildly increase in price, making the credit payments easy. Market price actually looks about the same price today as when he tried to buy in July 2020, and he was paying $2080/oz in the screenshot - well over spot price (about $1800/oz at the time). I think coins usually usually cost over spot price to buy, but you dont get the same advantage when selling (dealers will pay spot minus a commission for coins). This means he would've had to sell at a loss to pay any credit card payments over the last year. Given this guys seemingly unhinged ways, it seems more likely that he planned to smuggle it all to south america in a rather uncomfortable place, and ghost the bank. drk fucked around with this message at 02:37 on Oct 15, 2021 |

Chamale posted:Back in 2012, a lot of goons were making money on political prediction markets. I felt like I could do it, but I also felt like I'd probably gently caress up disastrously somehow. So in 2016 I made a spreadsheet and started with 1,000 imaginary dollars and kept track of all the bets I pretended to make. I was very successful by being more cautious and cynical than the average prediction market gambler, and from January to October I turned my imaginary $1,000 into an imaginary $5,000. Then I went for the sure thing and bet all my pretend money at 1/4 odds on Clinton winning the election. Prediction markets are peak BWM. People were betting real money that Clinton would win the 2020 election, even after the nomination was given to Biden. She wasnt even running.

gay for gacha posted:I do wish there was something like digital cash. Where I can pay for something online without having to put in my name or personal information. Like, there are a lot of people that use patreon that I would like to support here and there but I refuse to put my information into the application. I wish I could just hand them 5 dollars through the screen. Which is what I thought bitcoin was before the whole ponzi thing. Making anonymous electronic payments is also a great way to do fraud, money laundering, or other financial crimes. Bitcoin originally was intended to basically be what you're talking about but as it turns out, there are a lot more internet criminals than internet libertarians.

Bird in a Blender posted:I feel like I know the answer to this, but I have to ask. So since an NFT is really just a url link, what is stopping someone from just changing what is at the link? Who controls what is actually shown? The NFT minting companies? How is it stored? Most of the canonical NFT links are "hosted" on a decentralized CDN, IPFS. Its the the technical equivalent of something like BitTorrent x Cloudflare. It definitely has no guarantee of retention, and obviously no one wants to store data forever for free. Uncoincidentially, the group developing IPFS has their own coin - Filecoin.

I thought car sales were still pretty rare due to shortages. A quick look online says BMW is offering small discounts of "up to" $1750-$2500, but only to people who both finance through them and are current BMW owners. And dealers can opt out of offering it. https://www.bmwusa.com/special-offers/year-end-sales-event.html

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Grain-free food causes congestive heart failure in many breeds of dogs. You aren't supposed to give them a grain-free diet unless they specifically require it. But, there was a "grain-free" fad where it was marketed as healthier for years. I just looked into this after a vet mentioned it recently. It looks like its fairly rare (1100 reported cases in 6 years), and seemingly the most likely cause is legumes (like peas) used in the food, not specifically the lack of grain. But yes, grains can absolutely be a healthy part of a dogs diet and it seems GWM to not overpay for a grain-free diet especially given the potential risks. https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/animal-health-literacy/questions-answers-fdas-work-potential-causes-non-hereditary-dcm-dogs edit: no idea how $10/day cat lady is spending that much since her very expensive food seems to cost about $4/day for a 100% wet food diet. drk fucked around with this message at 04:19 on Jan 19, 2022 |

(351:1) The average person guessed a CEO makes only 10x more than "unskilled" labor (according to the paper)? If we generously assume the unskilled laborers are making $20/hr (~$40k/yr), that would mean CEOs only make $400k? I guessed 100x before looking at the number and was still pretty far off.
