   Estimated Grand Prize $2.04 Billion vs Cash Value $997.6 Million PV of a 30-year annuity is about $130m at around 5.2% The question is can you beat that 5.2% return on your own? If so, then take the lump sum. The long-term (80+ years) annua

   I think SBF realized marketing is everything. Being the face of crypto, sponsoring sports stadiums, being on the cover of a widely distributed magazine, all part of the same playbook.

   Its fine to think that - and you're probably right. But again the solution will never be to ask people to change their consumption habits and their way of life. Its a non starter. The smarter thing to do is tweak incentives. A simple t

   Changing people's habits because it's the "right thing to do" is not the way to solve climate change. The main reason why is that it's very hard to change people, especially so if the benefits are not immediate. Wha

    What a weird setup. Talk about adverse selection. Not to mention just the positioning of it all: "So you got rejected in your 2nd round and now you're here..." Esp. since the interviewer most probably has a Big Tech backgroun

    I don't think there's a time limit on growth. Growth is also market perception based on what P/E multiple the market pays for your share. Value stocks are usually utilities, both actually and figuratively. We all know that Fa

    I think some businesses depend on Whatsapp. I remember jumping in a cab in a middle eastern country and they would use voice notes on Whatsapp almost like how you would use a 2 way radio. An hour of losing your normal mode of communication

    The ESG push of the last 5+ years was rooted in good reasons. But the approach was wrong. In finance, ESG metrics are just factors like value, growth, momentum, etc... Those factors need to explain risk vs returns. The issue is they never d

    Inflation is high 'cause China. We are more interconnected and globalized than anytime in the past, thus the past is not a good model. China is still in lockdown and their output isn't as high as pre-pandemic levels. Everything Ch

    Is there seasonality? Like hiring slows down into the end of the year, is my guess. In which case, can you get 10-15 years of HN posts? Then you would need to adjust by user base as well.. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series&

    I was a long time user of hckrnews.com until HN implemented the `past` link above for easy access... I realized I was missing things I was interested in by just filtering by top 10 in hckrnews.com.

    Fascinating - but not really a solvable problem if I am going to be cynical about it. Too few data points spread out across different geographies means there are other problems with higher social impact.
