Global investors profited from U.S. rental homes, foreclosure crisis.
The story is a specific case - but I’m pretty sure this is just the tip of the iceberg - and not just in the U.S.A.

It also reads as if in the past. It’s still going on!
It just occurred to me that people who check on ‘reading’ in the Micro Blog timeline using 📚 might have missed the call for people interested in a Reading Club … so ‘belt and braces’ it is!
DAOs will be the future of online communities in five years
I like the idea and it makes sense. I am just confused by the title.
Surely if DAOs will be the future of online communities in five years, they are the future of online communities now?

An Unsent Email
I created a Numbers file from the information you sent over.
I exported it to Excel and sent that file to you.
Now you have the file, you can change the Excel.
I can’t change the Excel file, because I don’t intend to pay Microsoft to use a product that is inferior to what I already have installed.
BTW - you have a Mac, and so you also have Numbers.
Tell me again why you pay to use a product that is not as good as the free product you already have on your computer?
.. and don’t tell me because you are doing serious number crunching … I have seen the spreadsheets you created!

2 Years ago today we arrived in Auckland, New Zealand to start a 100 day tour of the country.
And tour we did.
From Cape Reinga to Invercargill. (Sorry Stewart Island)
From Fiordland to Napier (Still not managed Gisborne)
BUT
We are still here. That’s a different story!

Endless Repetition or Infinite Variety?
If you want endless repetition (in your life), see a lot of different people. If you want infinite variety, stay with one.
What happens when you date is you run all your best moves and tell all your best stories — and in a way, that routine is a method for falling in love with yourself over and over.
You can’t do that with a longtime mate because he knows all that old material. With a long relationship, things die then are rekindled, and that shared process of rebirth deepens the love. It’s hard work, though, and a lot of people run at the first sign of trouble. You’re with this person, and suddenly you look like an asshole to them or they look like an asshole to you — it’s unpleasant, but if you can get through it you get closer and you learn a way of loving that’s different from the neurotic love enshrined in movies. It’s warmer and has more padding to it.
This Week’s Words
Why isn’t there a good thermometer app?
In fact why isn’t ‘temperature now’ just part of (say) the Weather App?

I love how TV shows just 3 or 4 years old have this wonderful notion that releasing a tape/video of something bad from 30 years before will guilt someone into doing the right thing and somehow magically ‘change everything’.
Somebody should change this name before it is too late.
It’s telling that Steve Carrell’s comedy show had a higher ranking than the actual ‘thing’.
At $10 per month - I won’t be going ahead with the paid service - BUT, it is rather nice and if you are someone who makes your money from writing - probably worth a looksee.
AUTHORY - I found the founder and CEO - Eric Hauch - very nice and very helpful throughout my trial.
Intel Announces Intent to Take Mobileye Public
They should have called it ' MOBEYEL '
.. or is that too abstract?
