Okay, I have a question about stocks. This book, Lights Out, says that in 2017, the stock of GE was trading at 17 USD per share. But when I look, it doesn't seem that it ever got below 60 USD. Is the book that wildly wrong? Is there some nuance of finance that says both numbers are correct? #finance #nyse #ge #stocks #stockmarket #eli5

Why on earth are Japanese first aid kits still include poison removers? Isn't "sucking out poison / venom" been proven as ineffective? #eli5 #japan #health #question #firstaid

Tbh I don't really understand what the implications of #hashicorp 's licence changes actually are. What does it mean dor tools like terragrunt and atlantis, which make use of #terraform? Could someone #eli5? 😅

A problem with wikipedia I constantly run into:

Entries may be correct but they are indecipherable. If I look up a topic, say the ultraviolet catastrophe, I know it has to do with physics and will be highly technical. The problem comes that there is nothing approachable in the entry. There is no path from “no knowledge” towards the subject. It is written for the physicist who doesn't need it.

Maybe a “This is important because…” section written like an ELI5 entry would help?

#ELI5 What are the most important policies and effects of those policies by Mexican president Lopez? As an American, I know nothing about Mexican politics, but I’m seeing his bumper stickers and t-shirts in California, so I’m thinking he’s popular. I’ve never knowingly saw Mexican campaign swag before. #mexico #MexicanPresident #MexicanPolitics

Can someone explain #Lemmy to me? I get that it's a sort-of #Reddit clone for the #Fediverse but that's about all I know. How is it better or different? #eli5

Anyone having these arguments hasn't even watched a "Rust in 100 seconds" or #ELI5 post of #Rust. All these are advertised and well-known functionalities they are flat out denying with worse arguments than flat-earthers.

Can anyone #ELI5 this to me?

The first answer explains that there's no "voltage difference" between the positive side and ground. However, in my understanding, ground is often regarded as "0V", just like the negative side of the battery. I'd think that electrons don't care where they are flowing, so why aren't they able to flow towards ground?

Can anyone #ELI5 why #Google Play Services updates aren't included in the #Android system updates? Along that same line, why am I never notified that there are system, Play Services, or even app updates, and only by manually checking can I see/install them? Apple used to have a similar issue, but they seem to have gotten their shit together now, at least on my work phone and my friends' devices. #Pixel #GooglePixel #cybersecurity

Speaking of #stokvel's can some #ELI5 how they work. I think I understand the simple ones like a 'cooking pot buying stokvel'... but I have heard of more complex ones.
