It is about 2MB now and expect to grow above 2MB next year. But seriously, volume limit is predominantly impacted by video, as a Netflix movie can cost you 3GB (HD) to 7GB (Ultra HD) per hour.
By the way, most computers will have noticeable improvement if you just replace the hard-drive with SSD. You can extend the computer life that way instead of buying an entire new computer.

The only thing the fed is masterful of is creating asset price bubbles. During the time when those bubbles are created it feels pretty good and looks pretty good but somewhere down the road it all comes crashing down. Then we wish the fed had never created the bubble in the first place. This time around it will be the same thing. Another asset price crash. Another round of nobody saw it coming. Another day of tears because this time it was different.[/quote]Yes, this troubles me a lot. As all we know on this board, foreclosure is not the problem, foreclosure is the solution to years of mis-allocation of investments before that. How is that $240 billion allocated to Alibaba or $19 billion allocated to whatsapp…a good thing for our economy? Or how is that the huge speculation of real estate price around the world a good thing? Does that create sustainable economy growth or just bragging rights in the cocktail party?
carlsbadworkerParticipantBut $200B market cap on less than $10B revenue?? Yes, its gross merchandise volume is higher than Amazon, but so what? If the business model cannot make money from these, it still is irrelevant. Therefore, cashier are paid close to minimal wages even though millions of dollar go through their hands each month.
This is not a short-term recommendation for buy or sell though. But these IPO madness just brings us one step closer to the bubble burst.
carlsbadworkerParticipantWe all hoard something if you compare the amount of usage that we had. For example, do you buy movie but how many times do you watch? Do you buy a car but how many hours a day does it sit idle? Human nature is greedy and competitive, and that’s why you see kids in kindergarten fighting for the toys all the time. It goes back to the fundamental economy theory which is based on scarce resource which will never be solved. (We don’t hoard resources that are not scarce, for example, no one is hoarding air at home).
The trick is to contain your greed to a degree that you don’t constantly piss off other people. Otherwise, they will treat you like you have a disease and force you to go through the useless therapy.carlsbadworkerParticipant[quote=70Degrees]So my business is internet marketing. This is peripheral to it, though not my focus at all. [/quote]
I thought with Google algorithms update so frequently now, there are no more business segment called “internet marketing” at all. Selling domain is much easier. 🙂
carlsbadworkerParticipantAnyone with half a brain should consider mainland China real-estate over-priced. However, most of the people in China seem to still think it is their sure road to the riches.
carlsbadworkerParticipantNice call! I think twitter is getting better with social network analysis to recommend people to follow, improving engagement.
carlsbadworkerParticipant10.7% actually seems a little bit low. I am pretty conservative with my 401K and I got higher than that.
This is not sustainable though. I don’t think it will crash anytime soon but it is definitely very over-valued at the moment.
carlsbadworkerParticipantThis beats all the previous stories:

carlsbadworkerParticipant[quote=flu]Well, according to CNN, using the “i-word” (illegal) is un-american… It’s as bad as using the n-word…
http://www.cnn.com/2014/07/04/opinion/kohn-immigration-words/
I think we went from the term “illegal aliens” to “illegal immigrants” to be more PC….But I suppose “illegal” is now un-PC…
We’ll probably change the term to something like “spontaneous extended stay visitors”….
I guess it’s just CNN trying to show its (fake) “racial sensitivity” …..Typical CNN…con news network…[/quote]
No. The political correct word now is “undocumented immigrant”. Pretty soon, murder is undocumented death and rape is undocumented sex…once they are all legalized, then all is well.

But after the first few weeks, Stretton allegedly retreated to her room, saying she suffered from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and refused to perform her duties while remaining in the home.
How many weeks? If I am not mistaken, it take either 30 or 60 days to establish ‘residency’ status in the eyes of the law. She could have been summarily thrown out until she hit the residency establishment limit.[/quote]
3 months and more from the interview of the nanny:

carlsbadworkerParticipantIn the state of California, sell and rebuy can also significantly increase your property tax basis so there’s a break-even point somewhere after factoring commission.
carlsbadworkerParticipantYou’re asking the wrong question. You should ask if anyone wants to buy from you at this price. If no one does, it is time to sell.
P.S. I am biased for this answer because you’re paramount and I have seen your posts over the year and don’t feel that you’re built for being a landlord.
