Your math seems way off? NDXT went from ~2300 in 2015 to ~12500 in 2025. That's ~5.5x return. So even if you had your whole 1M saving in 2015, you'd only have 5.5M now. No idea how you get nearly 3x that? And it's way worse i

Sure, just save 100k out of your 170k comp, that's totally how normal people operate. And not only that, also pick the right stocks rather than just sticking everything in an index! Just magically turn 10x 100k into 10M!

The break-even point for the small car vs truck is much lower, so there it makes a lot more sense to switch.

I don't see how banning distribution would do anything: distributing pirated games, movies, software is banned in most countries and yet pirated content is trivial to find for anyone who cares. As long as someone somewhere is publishin

"Duty of loyalty" is obviously irrelevant here. "Countless posts of people getting let go for whatever reason" is irrelevant too. What protections did these people have that did not apply because they complained to their

Where is "change in law" coming from? How could it possibly mean that in context? Of course the meaning is "reducing the protections you have". And I'm challenging the notion that complaining or voicing dissatisfact

Wouldn't the best approach for that be to write a program that takes a list of words and output an optimized regex? I'm sure an LLM can help write such a program. I wouldn't expect an LLM to be particularly good at creating t

Reread the comment chain, because I literally quoted a comment saying that repeatedly voicing your dissatisfaction to your boss can reduce the robust employment protections in some countries in Europe.

If it's objectively bad code, it should be easy enough to point out specifics. After pointing out 2-3 things, you can just say that the quality seems too low and to come back once it meets standards. Which can include PR size for good

If a company was sending hundreds of salesmen to knock at a door one after the other, I'm pretty sure they could successfully get sued for harassment.

> Some estimates for 2025: around 20-30% of all ad clicks were bots. Around $200B in ad spend annually lost to click fraud. I think this is the wrong way to look at it. Bots lower the cost per click so they should have net zero impact on

Post-covid layoffs happened before ChatGPT, so it's certainly not because of AI. End of 0 interest rates is the more likely reason.

Look into "Verifiable Credentials" (aka VCs) You can have a digital ID that you store in a wallet. You can then present the credential and selectively disclose information. There's a bunch of W3C specs and RFCs around this.
