Why do you think rates are so low? Hint: its because the Fed printed a bunch of money to monetize the debt.

This is good advice but I think it downplays the seriousness of government insolvency and the repercussions with respect to investing. The worst case scenario for millenials is not just getting 3/4 of our promised social security; it c

I agree, the sodastream machine is phenomenal... I drink seltzer almost exclusively, and before I had the machine I hated having to deal with all the empty plastic bottles. I'm not sure that soda stream has a huge cost benefit over bu

> When analysts start to throw in the towel on a company, that is not a good sign. I've been led to believe that is the exact opposite of the truth. Isn't the consensus most bullish at the top and most bearish at the bottom?

They credit Nadella with increasing the stock price... but MSFT performance is basically the same as the overall NASDAQ composite (of course I'm sure MSFT itself is a large portion of that index) as well as the larger S&P 500 index

In the part where the whole Noah/flood thing happened, it says that humans' lifespans would be limited to 120 years (after Adam etc). But that is not the point... no matter whether you take the Bible literally or not (I don't

Isn't LE more about increasing longevity than increasing life expectancy? That is, we don't have people living to be 200 years old; people's maximum lifespan seems relatively unchanged from 100 years ago (or even several tho

Do 100% of "box office receipts" go to the production company? Or is a portion of that overhead for the theater showing the movie? Also I think you're really missing something important, which the entertainment industry is a

The first chapter of Malcolm Gladwell's book Outliers has a plausible explanation... he gives an example of how successful hockey players are disproportionately born in the months of January, February, and March. To poorly summarize t

What are the details that you mean? I just skimmed the spec and I don't see anything significant about exceptions or gc... it mostly seems focused on the WASM memory layout and the instruction set. The instruction set seems at least s

by bcg1 10y ago
If WASM runs on a stack machine, I wonder how hard it would be to map the instructions to JVM bytecodes? From the example in the document they look similar... It would be interesting to be able to take code compiled with Emscripten for exa

It doesn't matter if Thiel is any of those -ists. And frankly, to me, it doesn't even matter if Trump himself is any of those -ists. The real issue is that Trump and his campaign have actively tried to appeal to the -ist nature o

It should not be overlooked that Mr. Thiel's funding of hogan's lawsuit against Gawker was clearly a shot across the bow of American freedom of the press by the plutocracy. It should also not be overlooked that Charles Harder (hog

Not only is it a year without revenue... I imagine this will devastate their revenues in future years as existing customers up for renewal during that time will likely permanently migrate to another CA.

I should have been more clear when I referenced H1B. My personal opinion about the program is that it is deeply flawed, mostly because it is a sort of legalized indentured servitude. I doubt Trump has those same feelings however, as he hir

Probably even more mildly amusing when the ideological cleansing begins as well.

I think the H1B program is terribly flawed and certainly abused. But Trump is not talking about reforming it, he only talks about in the context of "foreigners stealing our jobs" (paraphrase), which I find quite contemptible. And

You might want to look into whether or not your understanding of the concept of racism comports with its actual definition.

Incorrect. He wants to end the H1B visa program (despite the fact that he uses for seasonal work at his club in Florida) and he does not want to accept political refugees attempting to come to the US legally.
