It's a bit of an aside in the post (which I otherwise agree with), but dollar-cost averaging such as: > If you decide to invest $100,000 into the stock market because you agree with my reasoning in this post, then it would make a lo

Hi Peter! I'm considering work for a US company on an O1 visa, but I hope to spend the majority of the time in my home country and make monthly trips to the US. I have no desire to acquire permanent residency. I'm happy to be tax

I will echo this and share some context. The biggest challenge I've had is that trade schools and certifications are inconsistent, so it's not easy to vet candidates; a lot of hiring is intra-island, requiring significant up-front

Not strictly true in this case - an essential factor in the success of a venture-backed startup is the ability to secure a next round of funding. This exacerbates biases significantly, because you're not only trying to select for succe

Absolutely true. We have a reef about 200m offshore that's doing the heavy lifting blocking waves for us, though it's at risk to reef death (SCTLD - Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease).

In this case I laugh to myself and ask my lawyers to reply. It's a bit more nuanced than I make it sound ( https://www.ogierproperty.ky/publications/public-access-righ... ), but it's hard to make the argument t

We're not going to lose our land from the edges, if that's what you're asking. It's actually causing a bit of an issue right now because our land has been retained while the beach has disappeared, so it's no longer

It's going to be interesting to see if the inheritor of the role still wants MicroStrategy to serve as a defacto Bitcoin holding company, or if he or she will divest or diversify. I'm not sure that it'll directly impact the m

I can name all kinds of sexist statements I've heard first-hand in just the past few months (none, I might add, which incurred any consequence). I bet you can too. Sexism, as an example of an "x-ism", is endemic in tech. I

Nice hypothetical, can you come up with a real example of such a brave and controversial statement? Because I'm not sure this actually exists, most of the tube "x-ism" is also "being an asshole for no reason".

Paul has said a lot of smart things, but this essay is hard to read. Paul seems to be complaining here that since becoming relevant/influential he's no longer "allowed" to have "x-ist" beliefs. I mean, yeah...

As in my post, assuming this reaches a "negotiated" settlement there are going to be two important values: the original purchase price (OPP), and the fair market value (FMV). If Twitter "wins", they get Elon to pay the f

"Recession" is a bit ambiguous. To identify winners and losers in any economic climate you need to consider the specific factors at play, and the winners of previous "recessions" may or may not be winners in the next. I

IMO the alumni network is massively overrated. It might be different in services or finance, but in tech I've gotten way more mileage out of academic and open source communities. I do agree that there's a heavy power law on progr

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, but you realize an MBA is an actual academic program and skillset? Just because your Madlib is syntactically correct doesn't mean it makes sense. If you're trying to say th
