my sister drives a big rig, and my nephew use to do it. Not only is it an extremely cyclical industry, its not for everyone. you have less social life and spend more time sitting than a coder. One port change can cause truck routes to disap

I know its not equivalent, but a really simple human can learn to drive and self driving cars haven't mastered that. I don't think its the case that a really simple human can learn to code. since that is harder than self driving,

I agree, its incredibly useful if you know how to use it. I used it to make sentences more succinct for emails to managers (no sensitive data of course), I used it to turn my dreams into short stories, gather ideas for research, etc. People

I agree. they go onto a useless rant about how pen testing is useless, red team research only enables hackers, etc. That's not true at all. That work is what pushes the improvements in both detection and better programming practices. E

I am pretty sure it does. Lets assume an income of 32,000$ (~median US income) and 30% to pay for housing. That gives them 9,300$/year for a mortgage or 775$. with a 7% interest rate, that means the person would not be able to easily a

stock buybacks are more tax efficient than dividends, but I disagree they are remotely the same thing. There is plenty of empirical evidence that a stock buyback does little to the stock price in the long run, and I would much rather have t

two trends have me highly concerned: 1) the baby boomers are now starting to retire in large numbers and they will go from investing and lending to consuming, selling stocks, etc. 2) population decline is a thing. many countries have alrea

> Because dividends are ultimately why people buy stocks in the first place? I would disagree, I feel like the mojority of stonk owners think dividends are passe companies, and a real company would reinvest its earnings or buy back stock

I agree with you, as I was thinking this in November 2021 (when Netflix hit a wall in growth) that the pandemic didn't create tech company growth, it pulled growth forward. What this told me was that the growth in tech was much smaller

There were good and bad. We may soon find out whether it was a good deal or not as globalization gets reversed. I think the timing of it was really bad, as we are choosing to end globalization as the baby boomers are retiring. We are going

This is pure PR fluff. if a company you dont already know says they have an aerospike engine, you should already be skeptical. a 3D printed one? Ok now you know its bunk. a small deep dive proves that.
