This seems sort of intuitive to me so I’m inclined to believe it, but at this point can we really believe any of these sort of pop-behavioral studies with interesting quirky effects? It seems like the entire field is so overwhelmed with fak

No you borrow against them at super low interest rates so you can have and spend the money anyways. Then at your death there’s a thing called stepped up basis so your heirs inherit it at the market value not the original value. So your fami

Michael: My father’s no different from any other powerful man. Any man who’s responsible for other people. Like a senator or president. Kay: You know how naïve you sound? Senators and presidents don’t have men killed. Michael: Oh. Who’s bei

You’re close but that’s not quite it. Here’s a more realistic way it might work. Bob buys paintings A, B, C, and D as a lot for $10MM. “Things happen” in the art market and a few years later lo and behold “everyone” agrees those paintings a

If you can afford it get Breville. I was really shocked at how much better quality their appliances were when I got my first one. The microwave controls for example are 10x more intuitive and thoughtful than anything I’d seen before.

He’s a smart guy and his books are insightful but he says this basically every year. His track record making actual monetary bets on all this has been mixed at best.

We already have the OPT program. The idea of a limitless uncapped program for graduates is a different thing entirely.

This is interesting. Does anyone know what tactics they’re trying to stop? Sounds like something specific.

Agreed, violence has its own characteristics, and there certainly are qualitative differences. But as Stalin said, quantity has a quality all its own. When you steal large amounts of money like SBF did it’s different, but that doesn’t make

What’s the nuance, that if someone makes a “speculative investment” they deserve to have the money stolen more than if they walk down a “risky alley” or something?

The inefficiency is that buying a used car completely sucks from the buyer perspective. It really would be something if you could just like go buy a used car at a fixed fair price with literally zero hassle. Problem is it doesn’t seem like

It seems pretty easy to figure out why taking the equivalent of a hundred million wallets creates more misery than taking one of them right.

Do you routinely evaluate the contents of a wallet stolen by a mugger or of a car stolen by a carjacker in this way?

It’s not violence by the literal definition of the word, but I’m not a fan of this particular point of view. Financial crime at this scale absolutely causes people to die unless you think several billion dollars worth of resources is inef

You'd think Mike Judge would have permanently taught our culture the lesson that nerdy tech types should just never deadpan rap lyrics like they are "hard." And yet, it keeps happening.

Lots of answers already but the short answer is that sales sucks and people don’t do it without direct and immediate incentives. So if you want sales you create those incentives.

I was an audio engineer at the time. Worth mentioning the ADAT machines which were basically the dominant way of doing multitrack audio in the late 90’s. All on VHS tapes.

The plane was built in 1992 and the 757 is a classic model that has a great track record. Whatever this is it probably has absolutely zero to do with the current state of Boeing.

That’s not at all a good description of what happened here. The safety deposit box company was pretty clearly a criminal enterprise, it marketed itself to drug dealers and so on. A few random rich people might have wandered in but it was a
