I sold out in 2017 after seeing Bitcoin on CNBC for the first time. I figured that meant the dream was over.

What do you mean by "people pissed off at the lack of voter IDs"? Donald Trump incited a group of people to launch a violent attack against the United States Capitol. That's not acceptable behavior.

This is an amazing book. It explains concepts like the bias-variance tradeoff more clearly than anything else I've read on data science.

This is the kind of dry humor that keeps me reading long HN comment threads. Well done.

A well written book is so much easier to read that I'll pay the premium (within reason). When I read a textbook by Hadley Wickham, I can tell how much he loves novels; he knows how to write in a way that's engaging for the reader.

Great advice. And read every word of the policy. I was surprised by some of what's covered, like spoiled food from a power outage.

Totally agree. There's the obvious part of insurance: If there's a 1% chance of something bad costing you $1000, you can buy insurance for $12. Then there's the less obvious part, which is that the insurance company might onl

I think of I bonds as playing the role that savings accounts are supposed to play: Park your longterm emergency fund and protect it against inflation

Exactly. I've used this system and your purchases show up after about one business day.

Yeah, my goal with taxes is to pay within a thousand bucks of what I actually owe in a year. It's surprisingly hard to do.

Yeah, but then you lose a lot more than the $875 OP is trying to make from the bonds. Source: I have both a child and an I bond

Totally agree. Being friendly and having a small request that's easy to explain can get you a lot.

Data Science manager here. I've worked with companies that didn't know the profitability of their different client contracts because the data was stored in separate systems. Fixing that kind of thing is super profitable. Every add

To be fair, the planes at Pearl Harbor were arranged to prevent sabotage, which made them easier targets for an air attack. There are tradeoffs to every kind of preparedness.

American here. President Trump lied about winning the election and upended our tradition of peaceful transitions of power. If he hadn't done that, there would have been no January 6 attack.

If you're interested in the realitiesof running a modern rocket company, I highly recommend the book "Financing the New Space Industry." It talks about marketing and other aspects.

Yeah, a $1 CPM for a creator seems reasonable. Depending on the audience you're targeting, audience targeting might be less than $3, which has to pay the creator and Google.

If you look at a map of the area, he ditched the plane in the exact place you'd pick if you were trying to stay away from large groups of people. That's one of the many aspects that suggest this was an intentional crash.

There's evidence that he purchased an old plane with lots of problems explicitly for this stunt.

by Breza 4y ago
The first thing he did after landing was head to the crash site. Not saying he could have actually stopped a forest blaze with fire extinguishers (it's not like wildland firefighters use them) but that might have been what he had plann

Exactly! I wonder why he didn't at least act like he ran out of options before bailing out. "OK, there's an airport over there." <banks slightly> "Oh crap, I'm losing too much altitude! I'll never ma

I don't think investors are totally rational, but here's a simplified example. If you think there's a 90% chance that a stock price will triple and a 10% chance that it will drop to zero, you could resist a takeover bid and s

I have a dumb question. Most of my money is in index funds. Would there ever be a price where my shares would be sold?

I don't think it's any more effective than paying someone $15/hour to drive a billboard truck around town. I live in Washington DC, and I saw two of them near church this week.
