I wonder how different the analysis would be if you'd bought shares in 1970 and reinvested all your dividends.

Tulip bulbs. I read they have real growth opportunity.

> The winning crypto, one day, will be the one that DOES NOT make you rich. Well said! I bailed on Bitcoin in 2017 when I started seeing breathless coverage on CNBC. Once the speculators get out, cryptocurrencies could become very powerf

Partially. I have a hard time getting excited about blockchain as the solution to everything because of the issue GP points out. I took a blockchain dev course on Coursera out of curiosity and realized just how fragile some of these project

I totally agree. I have no idea what's happened to the stock market over the past week and I'm at peace with that. If the market goes up, I have more money. If the market goes down, it means I'm getting a better deal with my

Wow, that's a lot of gold. I prefer something akin to the 60/40 approach. Then again I'm decades away from retiring. I might become more conservative as the day I start needing that money draws near.

Interesting. Do people use it like a savings account? If the money is needed, how likely is a person to liquidate part of their stash?

That's the paradox of Bitcoin. Boosters talk about how you can disintermediate the entire financial system, which admittedly sounds pretty cool. Except if you want to live on Bitcoin, you end up working with institutions that look an a

Yeah, there's a lot of math behind distance shooting. Tons of variables to consider.

Thank you for sharing that article, I hadn't seen it. Terrible!

Peter Drucker, one of my favorite writers on management, said that one of the most important things you can learn about yourself is whether you're a reader or a listener. In other words, would you rather listen to someone talk about a

I still miss Google Reader. I wonder if Google wishes it had kept it running now that their efforts to launch social networks failed and Twitter/Facebook have taken over much of the space that RSS used to occupy. Google could have buil

Agreed! My copies of Calculus Made Easy and Calculus & Statistics are wonderful references even though they were written before I was born.

It's really concerning that the Navy had serious accidental collisions years after that attack. It suggests that it's still alarmingly easy to get close to a destroyer without anyone noticing.

I also yearn for more competition in social media. It's wild to think that Facebook has been a huge player for most of the history of the web.

YMMV but I set up a treadmill desk in my basement. The treadmill is for work. Everywhere else in the house is for me.

I didn't get what code switching meant until my first job out of college. I had a coworker who would copyedit what I wrote to a level that would impress an English professor. It was great, he made me sound so much smarter to the rest o

That's generally my attitude too. Once someone complained that the car I wanted had low resale value. I reminded him that I was buying used so that wasn't a bad thing.

I live in Washington DC. My neighbors with electric cars just plug them in even though we lack garages.

I once ran an A/B time-of-send test for our readers where I analyzed the results by local time. Timezones and DST made it a painful experience.

I agree with you. When I'm reading resumes, I might give each one five seconds before moving on. I'd probably do the same with Tiktok applications and I'd probably have an order of magnitude fewer applications to go through i

I used to write ad targeting algorithms. There are tons of adtech companies that claim to use AI to "find the right audience" for a given client's ads. Some of them actually do it. I only had one project at that job that was

You nailed it. Since the original post is about email, I'll use LiveIntent as an example. Does the New York Times sell my personal data? Maybe, but not egregiously. But they use LiveIntent ad tags in their emails, and those tags leak a

Maybe not directly, but a huge number of companies use tools that involve data selling, even if the company doesn't realize it. Once a marketing guy sent me a LinkedIn tracking tag to put on our website for conversion tracking. It quic
