Millimeter wave radio frequencies (24GHz+) that are part of "5G" are blocked by essentially everything. The atmosphere, the weather, the phone body, and especially human hands even when the signal isn’t blocked, it’s functionally line-of-sight. anandtech.com/show/13106/qua…
"market considerations for mmWave are different from the traditional towers; many smaller base stations are required for good coverage." Antenna must have a line of sight to a base station. In a building, behind a tree/anything or a hand in the way? Phone must use low frequency.
Product market fit is determined by a consumer. When exactly do you have line of sight to a base station with your phone and value that millimeter wave connection more than 4G (MIMO) provides? Are you willing to pay for that on your monthly bill and buy that higher cost handset?

"According to the survey results, the median pay for full-time writers was $20,300 in 2017, and that number decreased to $6,080 when part-time writers were considered. The latter figure reflects a 42 percent drop since 2009, when the median was $10,500."
In my blog post on writing books I wrote: "6. Don’t expect to earn more than the minimum wage and be thrilled if you earn more." google.com/amp/s/25iq.com…
"In Mémoires (1759), Voltaire recalled how in his youth he had come across so many writers who were “penniless and held in contempt” that “he had decided not to add to their number.” laphamsquarterly.org/luck/voltaires… "Thanks to his fortune he was free to pursue his writerly life."

"Companies can lose a lot of money in their early years but be wonderful businesses if they are acquiring customers with long lives and strong variable margins."

But some businesses just do the losing money part. A critical skill is knowing the difference between the two types.
Customer-based corporate valuation (CBCV) = valuing a business on a "bottoms up" basis by valuing the customers. In a subscription business especially, this is an essential process if you want to understand if real value is being created despite a lack of current GAAP earnings.
"CBCV isn’t about being profitable from day one. It’s about variable profitability in net present value terms (while still being mindful of fixed cost overhead of course!)" Determining whether a specific business is a delicious cheesecake or a turd requires detective work.

There’s an old song on the radio that gets you every time you hear it, from the very first line.

“My body is a cage”, it sings, and if that isn’t a fucking mood.
The lock on yours is an autoimmune disorder. It was genetic, the doctors explained. No one’s fault. No obvious trigger. It could have happened at age nine. It could have happened at ninety.

No cure. Just treatment.

Ok, ok. 1 Like = 1 interesting magic system / cost for casting magic. I don't guarantee that all of these will be original as this is pretty well-trodden territory, but they'll certainly be made up on the spot by me.
1. Spellcasting feeds on ambient heat. Magic users leave trails of frost, ice crystals glinting in their hair. Strongest wizards operate in equatorial regions - deserts, tropical rainforests home to key mage colleges.
2. Magic requires pain. Pain is the remorse of matter, magic the expression of this remorse. Mages practice self-flagellation, electrocution, ice baths in order to cast spells. More powerful effects possible in throes of agony. Mage duels quickly escalate as combatants are hurt.

[PART 1 of 3] 1. I have been developing a set of hypotheses for many years now, regarding the reasons for the dramatic enhancement of the domestic intelligence (surveillance) apparatus post 9-11.
2. They commence with the following premise: The primary reason for enhanced surveillance was for the Deep State, on behalf of the New World Order, which perpetrated 9-11 as a massive false flag, to protect themselves from the public.
3. The purpose of 9-11 was as old as civilization: $$. That is, it was to provoke transnational violence, and then war profiteer by funding both sides of the conflict. This is also the foundation of the U.S. Military-Industrial Complex (read: CIA).

I'm at Water's Edge Brewery in Lake Ridge, Virginia tonight. Six of the seven VA House of Delegates seats here are held by Republicans. Tonight, that may change wildly.
Those seats in Prince William County, Virginia's second most populous, are a test of the anti-Trump grassroots movements spurred on by the Democratic party and progressive groups.
Of 8 groups, like @MoveOn, @BoldProgressive and @TheDLCC, that made endorsements in VA House races, 41% of their endorsements came to six Democrats challenging Republican incumbents in this county.
