It's probably better explained by the fact that simple problems are more likely to result in simple and smaller codebases, and the simple code and simple problems means less edge cases which means less bugs. A lot of complexity comes w

With BTC down 25% in the last 5 days (including a very sharp drop today as BN "balked", it's clear some people do. A rising tide lifts all boats, but a very public sinking ship makes people reconsider boat ownership.

The higher index funds gets as a % of market the more money (smart) active investing will earn you. So not only is there a balancing point, but (in theory) it should also be self balancing as the rewards increase as the balance gets more ou

An index fund is a group of stocks. You buy them all together. That means that you're buying everything regardless if everything is worth buying. If tons of money gets put into the index funds, all the prices rise. This could mean that

If stocks are so over priced, can anyone show an example of an fund that's making a killing off of these mispricings? Why would active management have failed to find and exploit these mispricings before? Not saying these don't exi

I just have the computer and emails passwords and my phone pin stored in a safe place. I have a few critical MFA codes stored as well in case my phone suffers the same fate I do. Any other important password can be reset from those things a

You can't eliminate a manager just by managing up. Do you want to be making the calls of who gets put on a PIP and managing them through it (or out?). Do you want to sit in meetings talking about business priorities and advocate for yo

Java is in the awkward middle ground where a lot of popular companies are using more specialized languages and startups are free to use whatever the founders want. So, a lot of companies that are older, stable, and risk averse are using Jav

FWIW, those numbers are off because of escrow and taxes. 1.22MM house means AT LEAST 30k in property taxes a year, which mean's they'll end up at >~7.5k a payment, which means they'll need to buy a smaller house.

I feel like that's a terrible false equivalency. One of the most liberal cities in the country making a bad decision over one toilet is not nearly enough to say "the whole concept of American government is too big, better reconsid

You can choose between one of two problems: If you don't have strong incentives to fire low performers (aka stack ranking), end up with a slowly deteriorating engineering culture as more capable people end up carrying the weight of wor

It's weird. Tesla really just a car company but Tesla (as a stock) is priced like the market expects they solve (of some definition of "solve") the self driving car problem sooner than their competitors. Ford/Toyota&#x2F

I mean, it's probably not as clean as you'd like, but it's a ~15 minute exercise in google sheets. Hint: Use the =GoogleFinance command. Lump Sum is just the rate of return from that date * initial investment. DCA is just tha

You never want to built anything shoddily, but there is a lot of value in doing minimum scope. Testing, clean code, etc shouldn't be negotiable in most shops, but scope can be really trimmed down in a lot of scenarios. Universe Z: - Pr

I think solving an "easy" problem is a good step on the way to a hard one, as long as the tool is set up to allow you to get out of a local maximum. Clearly there are locations where self driving is a smaller problem space than ot

It's not common to adjust dials, especially during songs. Between songs is less rare but still uncommon. A significant number of bands do have a rhythm guitar that's going almost non-stop. I take a picture of every pedal board I s

Lottery tickets wouldn't increase your luck surface area, they just would move it (and probably make it a bit smaller). EG: I spent $X on lottery tickets and missed out on having $X more in an investment that did well or having the fre

I play online and multiple tables. 600 hands takes ~90 minutes at 6ish tables. Each table is ~75hands/h. I can play up to 12 at the same time, but my play suffers and I don't feel like I'm able to focus and get better.
