Sorry for off-topic but notice how long this page is and yet how fast it loads. Why is it so hard to pull off elsewhere on the Web.

It's probably because he doesn't understand that something that works only once in a lifetime, or even only once in a few generations, can actually be a very desirable trait from evolution/survival point of view. We (and all

To simplify a bit: the key difference between our thinking is that you think tbills and base money are different things. I think they're the same thing - because they are guaranteed to be always convertible from one into another, at un

True. I think that looking for example at the NIIP (US claims on foreign assets - foreign claims on US assets) or the trade deficit (how much the foreigners lend to the entire country [govt+private]) are much more important long term than a

Yes there are also "genuine" things on the CB's balance sheet. But notice how small they are, except in some weird cases (like the SNB, the Swiss National Bank, which hoards a ton of equities). My overall point was that the c

There's a lot of misunderstanding about what is currency and what is debt. All modern currency is debt. All of it. The amount of debt created and the amount of new money created is equal, because x=x for all x. It's just that simp

How do you make a third-party pedestrian to sign the waiver?

This is very useful in hard to reach areas, examples: Prudhoe Bay in Alaska or Uyuni salt flats in Bolivia. You can go there yourself, no one is stopping you, but there's no infrastructure and basically no people for hundreds of miles.

It's not a rationalization, it's a description of reality. Play the hierarchy game or find joy elsewhere, there's no other way really.

Because doing the bare minimum is a reasonable thing to do. You will not be rewarded for more work unless you play the hierarchy game. The Gervais Principle: https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2009/10/07/the-gervais-p

You missed the second part: work on it for a year, declare it well scoped and on track then move on to greener pastures, dumping the actual work on some juniors. Best part about the people that do such things is that they may not even reali

Came here to say exactly that. You can also do this, thought it looks a little worse it allows for even more flexibility, such as complete decoupling of Impl from A across different files: // Forward declaration of Impl. What

Lol, like Microsoft paid the billions to give it out now for free. Besides, do you want your index funds to do well? Because that's exactly where the proceeds go to.

You're right, but this kind of stuff is actually much more rare in "tech". Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Apple were all quite profitable (GAAP) at their IPO time, which was also earlier than today's standards. Look up the

How about decrypting the messages on the device and then sending them for ad classification to a remote service? Sounds like a no-brainer.

Let's inverse the question: please provide a list of companies that would be OK to target, according to you.

Exactly, it wouldn't necessarily change the demand, but would hopefully reduce the supply (by raising costs). Being a legal entity has much lower cost of funding and much lower cost of operations than being an illegal entity. Otherwise

He got a lot of speeding tickets, look up the famous old mugshots. That's not something easy to obtain from inside an office. The man knew how to party, even if not too much :)
