This is such a pessimistic view of things. As the hero pool expands, the training challenge increases at the rate of n^10. So going from 16 to 25 - we have ~100x blowup in hero combinations, likely requiring significantly more compute to t

In a recent interview on CNBC, Buffett said that Walmart CEO Doug McMillon always carries with him a list of top 10 retailers of each of the past decades just to remind himself of the brutal history of retailing. Walmart took Sears to the

The problem is Fed has learnt its lesson. However, China/ Japan/Europe have learnt nothing and are sitting on their own set of unique problems and these countries will be the likely cause of next recession.

There is no shortage of jobs for someone working at Oracle. If someone feels underpaid, they can just jump ship. I have friends who work at Oracle and their salaries are fairly competitive. I am no Oracle fanboy but this just seems like a b

It's fairly obvious that grocery stores would not want to be in poor neighborhoods. This article paints it all as segregation / race issue which is inaccurate where it is really an issue of purchasing power of the community. While

Thats not how it works. If 5-year bond has yield x, for principal P you receive P x for 5 years. With 3-year bond with yield y, you get P y for 3 years. If y > x => after 3 years rates will be lower than y. So you will get lower than

Well you would be surprised that you can buy a sub-dollar item (eg: [1]) on AliExpress and have it shipped all the way from China to your home in US. Just the shipping within US using USPS costs at-least $3. [1] https://www.aliex

This is not true. Highly shorted stocks are some of the most volatile ones. Anyone can buy a stock that is falling, most stocks have little short interest (<10%) meaning volume when stock going up or down is most people buying or selling

DuckDuckGo claims to be all for privacy. What it doesn't tell users is that it is just a wrapper around Bing search results. The $10M they plan to spend is just going to increase search traffic to Bing.
