Reddit has lots of them. Not sure why google can’t pick them up. YouTube also has specific reviews on anything you might want. Considering google owns YouTube, it’s strange that these results don’t bubble to the top.
YouTube has ostensibly strong policies around disclosing commercial activity, but Reddit does not. This "you can trust Reddit for reviews" narrative is nonsense. It costs basically nothing to subtly shill a product on Reddit, and more sophisticated operations will manipulate upvotes as well. On most niche subreddits, you only need a dozen upvotes to bubble to the top. Impossible to track abuse on that scale.
Not to mention the transparency nightmare of subreddit moderation.
Now, you're talking about essentially manual curation of trusted reviewers though. At that point, you're getting close to essentially resurrecting a Yahoo-style directory of good content. I don't really use Reddit but I have sites and people I go to for reviews of certain types of gear. But I don't know how scalable that is.
A big part of Googs secret sauce is ranking relevancy in part by reputation. They totally could index text-to-speech of youtube videos and rank channels by popularity in their content niches, then supply those when searches overlap their the content terms. Clearly they do _something_ like this, and probably could do more. Wirecutter and reddit should show up higher than random SEO fake-review sites, not because of manual ranking, but because NYT and reddit get higher traffic, and have higher reputation from other sites. They should able to derive signals that them so.
We benefited from the incessant hiring with outsized compensations. Now we’re on the flip side of that. If you want stability, tech is not the place for you.
They look at _trends_ as opposed to where they are now. And perhaps each transaction currently loses them money, so the more transactions they have, the more money they lose. There are lots of factors that go into this than just one metric
No. You start by maximizing your corporate benefits. Then you focus on spending (much) less than you earn. Then you move the money you saved into compounding investments. Then you maximized your tax advantaged accounts. Then you use leverage to further accelerate your savings. Then you develop an exit strategy. Rinse and repeat prior steps until exit criteria are met.
Chasing for money rarely is successful, though. Inheriting a fortune is a way which worked for many of the rich, though. For some it was work on a good idea and producing a good product.
Most rich people in the US didn't inherit much money, they had to build it. A few prominent super wealthy did, but for the most part it is create it yourself.
This is false; people end up with tons of money all sorts of different ways, from inheritance, to luck, divorce, lawsuits, hard-work hustling and grinding, or even criminal activity like fraud or embezzlement.
You generally can't know for certain, except in some cases such as a public figure. Lots of people expend vast amounts of energy projecting the image of wealth in a [pathetic] attempt to gain status, and they're faking it to the max.
A good education in a good field is a good start. If you are reading this you probably already have that. All it takes is living like you are poor, and investing the difference.
Some years ago my wife was talking about a poor family we know: while looking their finacnces over realised if you subtract 401k (which they don't have) and house payment (my house was a lot nicer, though both of us should have it paid for in 30 years) I actually have less take home pay to live on in a month. Of course that difference means a nicer house to live in, and a very comfortable retirement plan.
Damn, you must be rich I suspect? With your fancy garage and all that. In the last 14 years of my life, I have not had a place to charge my battery at home. Only at work, but it’s practically a territory battle for the few EV spots there are…
The entire Bay Area is less than 50% homeowners. The suburbs are full of low-rise apartments with street parking or asphalt lots with no power and no security. It’s not impossible to put in four million public chargers, but we’ve barely started.
