    Real estate investing isn't just for the 1% anymore Boing Boing
    With the gains real estate has made over stocks in the past 25 years, it's easy to see why the rich constantly use it to expand their wealth. What's slightly less obvious is why only the rich seem to ever break into real estate investment. There are a lot of reasons, but a couple of big ones stand out. First, money. Most private equity real estate funds require their investors to be accredited, and that takes a pretty significant six-figure income. And if you want to buy and renovate properties, you need to deal with the hassle of being a landlord, or the additional expense of hiring a (...) -- DiversyFund, all the details at DiversyFund, DiversyFund, all the details at DiversyFund

The report claims the budget device is scheduled to be released in early 2020.

This has disappointed some fans of the original iPhone SE, which has a smaller 4-inch display ideal for (...) -- iPhone SE, No Autolink, LG

    The Dropbox situation has become more dire. I pretty much have to stop everything and reconceive how I work with my servers from my desktop. Something broke. I may have a workaround. The lesson is that when you depend on other people's tech, at some point it will fail, and then what will you do. It's hard to have a plan for this kind of outage.

    17 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' memes that already have us in shambles - Andy Moser Mashable !
    The Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker official trailer is finally here and the internet is reacting accordingly. People are excited, nervous, completely in their feelings, and if you've seen the trailer, you know all the reasons why. All of the above is to be expected, this being the final chapter in the Skywalker saga that began all the way back in 1977.  That also means *sniffle* this will be the last Skywalker film to mine for memes.

Coined more than two decades ago, the term "Great Firewall of China" refers to the Chinese government's ongoing efforts to regulate and censor the internet within the borders of the country's mainland.

    Earlier this month, Netflix reported its third quarter results for 2019 and they make for positive reading. Revenue is up, income doubled, and millions more people subscribed to the service.

    The typical performance chart has two axes. And one is time. We can't do anything at all about time, so there's really one axis. How fast did your profits grow? How many nofollowers did you add to your account? How much muscle did you add to your calves? The problem with a graph that only has one axis is that it's dumb. No room for nuance. It's a blunt instrument, easy to game. If you want your profits to go up faster, simply cut corners. If you want more nofollowers, buy them, or lower your standards, or pick a fight.
