They don't, but the spammers have become more sophisticated over time. They use Cyrillic letters that look like Latin letters, they hack old unused accounts (sometimes verified ones), they post the spam as a second-level answer, they use images instead of tweeting text, they have started adding noise and various transforms to the images to make them harder to automatically classify as spam, and they probably have many more tricks up their sleeves. Fighting against spam is hard.
This exists : https://learnthesewordsfirst.com/ is a "multi layer dictionary". There are 360 base words, the very first ones are explained with images, then each word is defined using the previous ones.
Then there's a list of 2000 more words defined using only base words.
The last layer is a full dictionary whose definitions use only these 360+2000 words.
I was thinking the same thing! I think it in itself should be useful as a starting point for learning many languages, by just translating them literally into the language of choice.
Some funds are sufficiently large/diversified to avoid worrying about uncertainty in a single stock. If someone cared about this uncertainty, they would already have sold their shares to these funds before, so the reduction of uncertainty would have a negligible impact on share price.
I think GP disagreed with your assumption that a $1.1/-$1 coin flip was worth $0.05, so they'd pay more for the $0.6/-$0.5 coin flip than for the $1.1/-$1 flip, but still less than $0.05.
They would pay a premium to avoid uncertainty, so they wouldn't accept that offer either. The uncertainty is the same whether you sell or buy the flips. I don't know you, but I guess you wouldn't pay $499K for a $1M/$0 flip, and you wouldn't sell such a flip for $499K either. This is the same phenomenon on a much smaller scale.
What do you mean by “expectations”? If Amazon trades a $2000, is the expectation that it will stay at $2000 forever? Or is the expectation that will go up because it will surpass expectations?
If by expectations we mean the numbers published by sell-side analysts they may or may not be close to the actual market expectations.
The website was obviously generated automatically : it has over 400 pages of products. I think the goal was to sell products available elsewhere at a premium, and order them as needed. Or maybe there are no prodcts and they just want someone to buy one to try to understand what's happening :P.
My first theory was that the prices were not converted properly, but assuming that they are in Vietnamese Dong instead of USD leads to absurdly low prices.
In any case, that's a weird online store.
Edit : their contact form includes an adress an phone number, both located in California. It seems unlikely that those are their real adress and phone number.
I found this site via shopping for refrigerators also. Price very cheap. Contact# is a cell w a full vmail box. They list bestbuy as a contact for installation. Called Best Buy they will not price match & are not officially partnered w site. Additionally they could not confirm whether or not they have done any installs for the company. I have emailed the site, waiting on a reply. I noticed a discrepancy in cu ft stats from search to actuall site. Plus they fail to provide any model # details or product specs. Haven't moved on purchase yet still doing home work but at this point I'd say "buyer beware"
Very interesting. Coworker of mine found this site while googling for refrigerators, popped up as a typical search result. We saw the address in California too, some random residence, really makes one wonder what is going on here.
They have refrigerators at very good prices almost 1000 cheaper on samsung smart fridge but also wondering if this is a scam because i cant find any reviews or info on them.
If I understand this study correctly, their conclusion is that it is likely that intelligent species are very rare in the universe. This still implies a "Great Filter", but it would have to be behind us.
Why do you think that AR will help reduce the amount of advertisements in cities ? Unless someone makes an AR adblocker, advertisers would have no reason to stop bombarding us with ads. If anything, there will be extra AR ads (targeted using data such as your location history or the stores you look at the most often) on top of the existing ones.
