I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that it’s for the MAOIs in tobacco, which is cute and I thought about that occasionally when I was smoking. I would highly suggest that no one smoke, because if you’re getting a benefit from the MAOIs in

There’s 2 real world things that I think would need to happen in order for companies to go all-in: 1. Companies need success stories of that kind of ad-hoc innovation happening from within the company remotely. Otherwise someone will 100% k

I would not go further than associating an October exit date as someone who took a buyout, and anyone with an exit date in the first half of 2021 as a sucker.

If you’re really that worried about it, save it in a joint taxable account. That way you’re “just” gambling away the preferential tax treatment (substantial) of 529 because you’re pretty sure you’d take the 10% penalty when it blows up. Tha

That’s not a normal college expense, and in fact a lot of schools with expenses that high do so while offering means-based scholarships. So when you read a story about someone at a $60K school paying $60K, usually it’s a signal that you’re

“But I've come to the conclusion that humans are just fundamentally stupid” I prefer eventually consistent but ok ;-). This was my takeaway for a bit but I massaged it into “humans can make better decisions after mistakes”. The differe

The cartridges are actually kinda a funny story to themselves if memory serves. Nintendo required that they manufacturer the cartridges themselves (and they had minimum orders), which was separate from the licensing side of things. Then you

The still costs $50 is interesting to me, because inflation adjusted this is a pretty steep discount. The 30% stayed the same, but inflation adjusted on something like this the revenue netted is down to what 15% would have previously got yo

Just a reminder that actually by definition consumer harm is the bedrock standard for antitrust litigation in the US. Scale and market power may be components of an argument for consumer harm, but they are not sufficient in and of themselve

This is a super literal take. In the 80s/90s the expense-incurring activity was physical cartridge production. Today it’s bandwidth & delivery infrastructure, card processing, any myriad of things.

I worried about whether the time investment would be worth it when I was getting into tiling window managers (using chunkwm on Mac), but it has paid dividends and was totally worth it. The thing that helped me over the hump was setting a ba

I kinda flipped through some of your other posts (stalked! sorry), I’d totally believe that this happens. It sounds like you’re working for maybe smaller outfits? I’d consider asking during early hr interviews about what the company does ar

I think we are talking about vastly different things on re-reading your post. I’m keying in, along with the parent, on offers being negotiated at figures like less than 5% on base salary (sometimes far less. talking 5-10k range)

The amounts of money never made any sense to me that some hiring managers will die on a hill over. In time I came to the realization that it’s very important for some people to have that “win” / upper hand in the new relationship, as l

The twitter & politics seem so true. This is a little goofy but I’ve gone to lengths like journaling my mood to “prove” the wisdom of this for me, but old habits yadda yadda. Do you remember any kind of “inflection point”, was it a habi

The problem in my mind is that while homes are investments they’re not great investments (they’re rather illiquid, they’re not diversified, they’re multipurposed when a domicile and that makes valuation and decisions messy). They carry a lo

You’d be surprised. From experience most people I’ve known with gambling addictions could go on the worlds longest luck streak, win all the money in the world, and then figure out a way to gamble more. The station in life thing just gets re

There’s precedent, but this takes precedent to its logical conclusion (the game _is_ the loot box). Usually it’s the people taking things to the logical conclusion that helps us define boundaries, rightfully so. “It’s like living in Los Veg

Yeah this is really the way to go, when you're young you have a principal problem anyways. I think part of what is maybe appealing about larger equity offers is that you're in with no skin, and you have no skin to give so the math
