1/ This below is kind of him to say. I write as a volunteer as my way of giving back.

All cash I receive from my books goes to charities. 25iq.com has no advertising.

If you want to win one of my books for free try this before Sunday: cupblog.org/2020/01/13/boo…
My publisher Columbia University Press asked me to write a new post on the last book I wrote for them and you can find what I wrote here. cupblog.org/2020/01/15/ref…

The best part of my last book is the foreword by Scott Belsky in my view. @pmarca understands why I wrote the book:
@pmarca 3/ You can read the intro to my book for free on the publisher's site. Amazon's "inside the book" let's you read the @scottbelsky foreword for free as other sections. The revenue from my books going to charity is not a lot of money, but it helps people. amazon.com/Lessons-Entrep…

Asking whether 5G is "safe" is like asking whether upgrading an iPhone to iOS 13 upgrade was "safe". 5G is a new radio access technology. It is not a new radio frequency, but it can enable them. 5G is being deployed at frequencies lower than what is being used by you right now.
People giving opinions on 5G "safety" who don't understand the difference between a technology and a frequency reveal they haven't even taken the time to understand the issue. Stating that 5G has a speed of X without specifying the radio frequency and other factors is also wrong.
The exposure limits used by the FCC are expressed in terms of Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). Factors like electric and magnetic field strength, power density for transmitters operating at frequencies from 100 kHz to 100 GHz and the nature of the sources must be considered.

1/ Sprint postpaid phone monthly:

average revenue per user $50.37

churn 2.06%.

"This quarter, like every other quarter, results were, well, bad. Churn remains high, EBITDA growth is negative and free cash flow is nowhere to be found." MoffettNathanson fiercewireless.com/financial/spri…
2/ "Absent the merger, Sprint will eventually need to either start generating free cash flow or they will have to restructure.”

"MoffettNathanson said Sprint could emerge from Chapter 11 in a better competitive condition “than any time in the last 10 years."
3/ 25iQuiz: Assume revenue per customer is $50 a month, churn 2% a month, gross margin 50% and a cost of money of 10%. All numbers rounded to make the math easier. What is the cost per gross customer addition (CPGA) that is lifetime value (LTV) break even? dskok.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/upl…

Selling cocktails in the shoe department of a department store is an example of: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
"The vice president for restaurant operations at Nordstrom, said one in every four transactions at Nordstrom is food or drinks. The Shoe Bar alone sold more than 400 drinks on the Saturday before Christmas. ...

"The $22 Goodman’s Manhattan also sells well."
Erik Nordstrom: "Shoe Bar helps sell things. I don’t know why it took us so long to put drinking and shoes together, but it’s a great combination... Stores need to be more experiential."

"We get a lift in our online sales when we add a store to a market." google.com/amp/s/footwear…

All MPs have a duty to represent all of their constituents. That includes EU/EEA and Swiss citizens. That is one reason why MPs need to listen to them when it comes to physical proof of Settled Status. The majority want it and are not happy about a digital status only.
One reason why that is the case is because EU/EEA and Swiss citizens do not feel secure. Giving them a physical document would go a long way towards giving back that security. Why not do it? There is no reason not to.
As one respondent to the Survey said, “I want a physical document proving my rights. […] Like a passport, I need this to feel secure in my rights.”

THREAD 1/7 #readercommunity

#Readers who justify #bookpiracy because THEY are poor i.e can buy the latest tech, fashions, daily coffees but cannot 'afford' books, we need to have a talk, and #RealityCheck ...
1. Those who download from #pirate sites wouldn't buy the book anyway.

To justify theft by saying that the thief wouldn't pay for what they stole is ridiculous. Clearly, they wanted the product but didn't think it was 'worth' $4 because they can steal it without consequences.
2. Authors earn lots of money, they're just being greedy.

In the latest @ALCS_UK research "“The median annual income of a professional author is £10,500 (US$11,300), which is well below the minimum wage."

1% of authors earn huge sums, most of us barely scrape a living.

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

3yrs later, her mind's wanderlusts appears intent than ever, to be elsewhere but here; in the present. #Dementia140
Today 3rs ago, Mama buried her best friend all through 11 births, 4(?) miscarriages, to the fading of her memory.
By (4?) I mean known miscarriages.She was really secretive. Sometimes, I still think she is still secretive even by her mind not being here.
