Unfortunately, I don't understand much. So, I just invest in S&P500.

Someone told me that part of the reason for the great returns of the stock market in 2013 was because of the fed's quantitative easing program. They said that the easing was increasing the money supply, and that money has no where els

"Most valley leaders are" - I really doubt this. Even for those of whom it is true, I would bet that they appear 'Democrat' only to help them sell stuff, as part of their brand. Most people who use software are in the ci

I have seen people using (or pushing) mind maps occasionally. I never got it though. How is it better or different than a tabbed outline? Is it the distance between nodes that matters? Is it because outlines are too vertical?

All wealth is redistributed at some point. Many people just want to redistribute it to their kids. I'd be happy with a flat tax for all, as long as there's a significant death tax. Maybe cap inheritances to (average household in

So many health care posts and rebuttals these days. Surely a highly important issue for us collectively. But, also so political, and as a side-effect so prone to defensive stances. As hackers, perhaps a good approach to these types of ar

This article really interests me - mainly because over the last 10 years, I've sort of adopted (independently) a mish-mash of what here is described here as the 'clean architecture', domain-driven design, and the 'ports

This is an interesting post, and I really like it. Thanks for writing it all down for us. A mostly off-topic anecdote: this makes me think of my first job, as an intern. I was working for a senior tech manager, and I remember this moment c

Certainly there's enough genetic variation that some will have better fitness within their given environment. But, that's after the fact. It would be presumptuous to think that we can understand all biological and environmental

Maybe I don't understand evolution completely, but aren't we all born with the same fitness level? Maybe high IQ makes one fractionally higher in fitness in a particular aspect, but presumably there are lots and lots of other asp

Given the fact that Reid had voiced such opposition, and since they waited so long to do it emphasizes the significance of the act. They really didn't want to do it, but they really had no other choice.

I think this is because all of the professions cited are somewhat standardized, with most teachers in the US being particularly standardized. Law is standardized, by nature. Medicine is standardized, by medical boards. Police are standar

It's not surprising that it's rising in value. People are holding on to ~12M coins (worth approx. $2.4B) and are hyping it up so that more people buy them. The more people that buy them, the more the price will go up, the more th

Sorry - I see now that my original questions were pretty vague. I guess what I'm trying to do is turn your interesting information into an actionable strategy. Let's try a scenario: Let's say I have a job opening for a senio

Could someone explain what 'mean validity' means in [1]? Also, how good of a GMA score is needed? That is, how good of a score would be needed for me to stop looking at other candidates?

To me, having beer on tap just says, 'hey we have a relaxed, carefree, creative culture here.' And, I'm attracted to that.

Is it really that crazy? That's like saying that I should expect to live to 120, because it's been done before. And, I should ignore the expected lifespan number. Maybe healthy lifestyle choices will increase my lifespan. But, t

Maybe I'm crazy, but I always thought that Trader Joes just bought their food from low cost countries and cheap manufacturers and then sold it for much higher prices, but with cool labels and within a fun atmosphere. I would never tru

Seems more a problem of celebrity than anything. Do what successful authors, artists, musicians, actors (anyone creative) do: Don't listen to what others say.

I call bullshit. Reading through your past posts, I see that there's a trend. You have a distinct, extreme ideology of free market libertarianism. And, you try to cherry pick reality to fit into your ideology. You're not convin

"Being poor in America is a state of mind." Having spent most of my childhood living with my mom and my three siblings on her meager $8,000 / year income, I'd say I have to agree. Poor is a state of mind. But, I'll

Recently I read Pinker's "Better Angels" [1]. Using archeological records, he argues that dying from a violent death was extremely likely in hunter gatherer societies. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Th

In my experience, the types of people who generally become leaders are those who seek out to be leaders. And those are types tend to have overly optimistic views of themselves (and some desire to control others).

This is weird. I would definitely fail your interview. Yet, at the same time, I've shipped over a dozen products, dozens of releases, consistently, to hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people. I have a solid track record of

This isn't a big surprise. The US really only has a few net-positive exports, and media products are one of the big ones (and military products, is another, iirc)

I suggest finding another job; they're really not all like the one described. (But, I've been there!) Even I, who works for a mega corp, have little or none of this. But, I work in a small group, and not in IT but in product deve

Well, that's not necessarily true (at least, in my case). I can't walk down to the local bank and be approved for a small amount of capital without providing equal collateral. Even with a strong business plan. I have to show qu

Is it really so difficult to allocate capital that just about every city needs skyscrapers full of finance people? I'm asking that as a completely legitimate question - I really have no idea of how much work is required to give my sma
