The push is coming from the banks. Banks own all the loans for commercial real estate, and were the first entities pushing for back to office.
Banks also tend to be board members and significant share holders in public companies and could internally push for back to office to protect their loan assets.

Reply to ELI5: If drinking salt water further dehydrates the body, why is saline used to treated dehydration? by Dartualexmachina
Sea water is waaaaaaay salter than saline. We need enough salt(electrolytes) to be able to conduct bio-electrical signals, but too much salt causes water to be sucked out of our cells, as it equalizes the salinity across the water content of our body.

Pineapple has an enzyme that is great at breaking down proteins. Your tongue is slowly disintegrating, essentially. Watch this, and you can see how pineapple effects steak at different time intervals.

Because we can't yet. A robot can easily make a 6-7 month trip to mars, with no expectation of coming home.You only need a small craft. No life support. No food. No water. No toilets. No medicine.
With a human, you need a large ship, with all of the above, and presumably the capability to launch off Mars and make it back to earth.

Reply to ELI5 Why is desalination so hard? by MiloFrank76
It is not hard, it is just very expensive because of how energy intensive it is. When it comes to anything, but especially water, cost is king, in regards to mass adiption.
If the water cost is double to irrigate crops, that is a big problem.

I know it is similar to a personal loan. The difference is that you have the home equity as collateral, so the odds of approval are higher, and the rate should be better.
But I agree that a home is not a liquid asset, but the equity can be tapped somewhat easily with a HELOC. That was the only point. And I don't think this is a replacement for an emergency fund.

Yeah, I know you pay interest. I was speaking mainly to the liquidity. Also, why I used the word "somewhat". I'm not sure what you are trying to rebut here.

It is somewhat. Getting a HELOC isn't very hard.

Reply to ELi5 : If you can access a website, why cant you steal the source code and make a 1:1 copy of it? by 13lettersinhere
Some you can and some you can't. It depends on how the site was built.
The Raw HTML, CSS, and Javascript is visible, and for older websties, that may be all you need. But if a site is made using C#/.NET, PHP, jQuery, Angular, React...etc These things get compiled(converted) from those languages on the server side, and converted into the stuff you see. You can see the end result, but not what goes on behind the closed doors.
So you could steal the code and make something appear the same, but it won't function.

That is because UVXY and VXX are leveraged ETFs and are designed to bleed out. They will always trend down over time. Look at the actual VIX, which is elevated above usual levels.

Mainly what it does is make the market more volatile, and it is a big factor in how you have to trade. The market can move in the opposite directions it otherwise would, simply because of the options put/call ratios and expirations.
And counter intuitive to the above point, it stop thr market from rocketing or plunging. Because people pile into options in the direction the market is moving, and the more option pile on, the bigger and harder the reversal ends up being.
So it helps to analyze how many options are at what strike and expiry, to know when to make trades.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in What do you imagine the world will look like in 2050? by psychosil444
Think of how much changed technologically since 1996, now take that rate of change and probably 3-5x it. Over the next 2 decades, various forms of AI are going to change things in ways you can't even imagine. Countless industries and careers will be obsolete or drastically different as a result.
Here is one small example of something that will profoundly change society. The Deep fake technology started in 2017, and is to the point where it is capable of running reasonably well in real time via video calls. Within 10 years, but probably sooner, you may not even be able to trust any video footage you see anymore, as fakes and frauds will become so prolific.

Buy BAND stock and just hold for a few years, and don't look at it. It is a legit ass company that got beaten into the ground beyond all reason. It just got dragged into the dirt along side other tech and telecom companies.
It is valued less than it was 5 years ago, despite having grown revenue by like 3x, having gone international, and having more than enough cash to last them many year. It wasn't long ago that it got down to a -95% from its highs, basically being priced for a non-existsnt bankruptcy. It is really a no-brainer investment, with easy 5-10x from.these prices.

I mean, if you wanted something with a futures that utilizes your skills, and future proof, something within the robotics and automation space. Building, programming, or repairing robots should have very good prospects for a long time.
Outside of that, any type of trade that deals in highly specific or varied applications that are hard to automate. Welders, Electricians, HVAC technicians, Plumpers, Mechanics of all types, Carpenters, Inspectors, Garage door technicians, Landscapers, Tree workers, Linemen.
