10 JUL. 2019 · Podshare is a service that sells you a $1200 month bunk bed.
https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/05/success/podshare-co-living/index.html
How high would the rent in SanFan have to be to make paying $1200 a month to rent a bunk bed, in a house, you share with 5 other people look like a bargain? The average size of an apartment in SanFan is 789 square feet and the average rent is $3616. So a $1200 month bunk bed which includes internet, cable, furniture, some food and utilities doesn’t sound so bad now.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/08/tech/emoji-law/index.html
In this world we live in judges find themselves having to interpret the meaning of emojis in court cases. Is a knife emoji a threat? Is a heart emoji sexual harassment? Should Courts start employing 12-year-olds as expert emoji Witnesses? The last ones a joke... kind of…. 🤷.
3 JUL. 2019 · In Tight Labor Market, Blue-Collar Employers Turn To Non-Compete Clauses
https://one.npr.org/i/736508029:736508030
What does a stockbroker in New York have in common with a security guard in Florida? They both probably had to sign non-competes. Non-compete contracts are becoming more and more prevalent for blue collar workers. Fast food restaurants like Carl's Jr, Arby's, Burger King, Dunkin' Donuts, and Five Guys all had Non-Compete as of 2018. The article attached blames the proliferation non-competes on a tightening labor market but since non-competes had become more and more popular since the mid-2000s I think it's more reasonable to conclude the non-compete abuse is another example of corporate entitlement and less to do with a shrinking labor pool.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/01/business/esports-ar-video-games-malls-simon/index.html
Simon Property Group (SPG) said it will invest $5 million in the entertainment company Allied Esports, which will create lounges for competitive video game events at Simon's malls. Simon is also working with Niantic — the company behind the augmented reality game "Harry Potter: Wizards Unite" — to turn 200 of its shopping centers into in-game locations. Malls have been on life-support for a decade and a half can the rebirth of arcades save them?
26 JUN. 2019 · Nintendo please don't sue me.https://amp.businessinsider.com/free-super-mario-battle-royale-is-awesome-2019-6#referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&_tf=From%20%251%24sAn independent software developer has created a Battle Royal version of the first three levels of Super Mario Brothers for original NES. In this game multiple players like around 100 can play the first three levels all at the same time in kind of a race format we're all the players compete for the resources of a game meant to be played by just one player at a time. The business Bona fides of this particular story are dubious. I found the article on a website called Business Insider so that's gotta count for something. A lot of the Business Insider article talks about how this is a situation where you need to enjoy it while you can because this developer is probably going to get a cease and desist from Nintendo relatively quickly. Even developer himself spends an oddly long time talking about his fears of Nintendo legal retribution in his YouTube video where he announced the launch of his website and game. The game is entirely web-based and has controller support even though I've only played with a mouse and keyboard.As of this recording of this it was still up and playable. I will include a link to the site, Nintendo please don't sue me.The link: http://www.infernoplus.com/royale/#mainEveryone hide your personal information and your cryptocurrency Mark Zuckerberg is cominghttps://www.thestreet.com/video/facebook-libra-crypto-kill-bitcoin-or-fuel-fire-14993859Facebook finally put a name to their long-rumored cryptocurrency project and it is “Libra”. This isn't really a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin or Ethereum. Facebook is “threatening” to release a stablecoin that just kind of acts like a cryptocurrency but it is really backed by some kind of fiat currency in Libras case it is literally money in a Swiss bank account. I can go deeper if time allows and if my partner lets me. Either way there's a chance that my cryptocurrency days are going to be limited going forward because when Mark Zuckerberg gets into the same business as you are a fool if you're not a little worried about him kicking you out of that business.Life Hack for Amazon Primehttps://www.cnet.com/how-to/amazon-prime-20-benefits-every-member-gets/I like to have clothes and wear but not wash clothes.

I don't have a lot to say on this particular story other than it's never a good idea for a retailer to be purchased by a hedge fund. Ask KB Toys and Toys R Us. Oh, wait you can't ask them, they don't exist.Chase just tried to screw its credit card holders. Here’s how you can fight back.https://thinkprogress.org/chase-just-tried-to-screw-its-credit-card-holders-heres-how-you-can-screw-them-back-530249232b32/Chase wants to take your right away to sue them if they treat you in a manner which is unethical. It's not like a bank has ever acted unethically towards their customers before, right? Chase wants to resolve all customer issues in arbitration. The fear of legal action specifically class-action legal action often times is the only thing which gives companies like Chase pause when doing some of the more unethical things they can think of. Customers losing that ability could bring about a slippery slope which undermines confidence in the entire banking system.Hertz launches $1,000-per-month car subscription servicehttps://www.theverge.com/2019/6/4/18652907/hertz-my-car-subscription-rental-terms-enterpriseIt is official there is a subscription service for everything.

At some point enough with the mergers.
