I worked in the payment card industry for awhile a few years back. There are entire countries that are blocked by card providers due to fraud. Unfair or not, it actually makes a difference. I was in a neat position to see some of the atte

Unfortunately it has nothing to do with actively-managed funds. Succinct, yes. Correct, no.

I'd wager that most retired Boomers have 60/40 (or even more conservative) allocations. I agree about the 30 years olds, but people aged 40+ have a higher ratio where they actually see the impacts of this.

Agreed - ZIRP for a decade is causing problems. I think his article would have been better if he focused on that more and how changes away from ZIRP will impact investors. Instead he danced around it a bit. I would have preferred a head-on

You clearly did not read the article and you also showed your ignorance of the market. The article talks about broad market issues, not index vs active. This year is shaping up to be historic. As in capital-H historic. Treasuries have never

I would upvote this 100 times if I could. I've thought this way ever since MacOS added the Grand Central Dispatch [1]. Of course, I thought industry would follow quickly and that tooling would coalesce around this concept pretty quick

Chris has a pretty solid reputation. I doubt he’d throw that away. Sometimes it’s okay to trust people in this space. To me, this is one of those times.

It’s not absurd. Microsoft believes they followed the law. The IRS doesn’t. If Microsoft believes they followed the law and then paid the bill they would now be upholding their duty to shareholders. And to be clear, if they violated the l

They won’t pay unless they have to. If they did, the shareholders would sue.

We can focus light waves , sound waves, x-rays, etc. Why can’t we figure out how to focus gravity waves?

Ah! Thought those were micro-USB. Thanks!

Given the F-35 debacle, I'd say the U2 program was still better run than "modern" aircraft development.

> PCIe 2.0 x1 interface Bummer. That just killed my need for a new one. Also, if those are micro-USB ports then they have ignored everything that happened since 2020.

There are approximately 40K McDonald’s in the world. That’s about USD 50,000 in profit per location. If you think that’s egregious, then we aren’t going to agree on much.

That's probably not the right lesson here. Perhaps you should read "I Moved Your Cheese" [0]. A short summary is here [1] - I highly recommend it. [0] - https://www.amazon.com/Moved-Your-Cheese-Someone-Busine

I like your thinking, but somehow fear that at some point in time in the future I'll get an ID like "S5o0QlI1" and my brain will automatically eject itself from my skull in disgust.

> “does not signal an immediate resumption of Starship launches at Boca Chica.” The FAA was not moving forward with a launch license until it was closed. So this is a big deal, even if it takes some time to get the license.

If only "farm.com" were available....or "F-Arm.com". Yeah, I like that second one even better. Obviously if someone decides to be more explicit, then this could get pretty funny. The trolling level here goes to 11. ---

I understand exactly what it is - I was simply trying to show that NASA has no game plan for this. Their plan is basically to have everything beam back to earth across these dishes (I know, I'm probably simplifying too much here). If t

I respectfully disagree (well, ok, Congress sucks, sure). But NASA has too many priorities (which means they really have none). If they can't make space-internet sexy, then they should hire a marketing firm. Heck, insurance companies (

The first two words of your NASA link are "In 2022.." they established it. NASA started way after artemis, which strongly suggests this is an afterthought. The documents are design and planning of the architecture, - nowhere near

I agree with everything you say. However, as we move beyond near-earth space, we will need better communications systems. The moon provides an ability to work out things like replacing/repairing/ decommissioning a satellite beyo
