I’ve been saying that since two years ago. This bull market has been one of the greatest artificial run in history. OR it could be that we’ve been conditioned to think this way based on the dotcom lores and permanent risk-aversion stemming

I never understand these pieces. To me they read like “I sold my soul to work for xxxxx, made my ‘f__k you’ money, and now I want my soul back.”

Unintended consequences of PPACA made the system significantly worse. They let multiple industries consolidate using PPACA as an excuse. Yet no one will talk about it for political reasons. This happened across the board not just among hosp

The last time I looked at this data (lifetime earnings) the difference was close to $1M on average for men and substantially lower for women. The opportunity cost of going to college is about 1/5 of that difference if you pay up front

I understand why Muilenburg is getting criticized here but this move should have happened a year ago. This is the Board’s failing to understand the dire nature of the situation. They got blinded by BA’s unbelievable rise with the investment

Makes sense that LastPass was “slow” to adding new features (such as u2f) lately.

Lost in all of this discussion is the fact that Boeing problems began with South Carolina. The fact that politics played a big role in opening that plant should not be ignored. MAX wasn’t just designed poorly, the organization process withi

People gravitate toward MX equivalent switches because you can customize them. You can mimic or surpass the topre experience which has been the gold standard. There’s also a thriving niche market for keycaps which is very much focused on MX

Volcker is overrated in my view. There is a good reason why so many people on Wall Street hold him in highest regard. I believe his perceived success enabled irresponsible monetary policies over the past 30 years. This is how we ended up wi

FDA is grossly understaffed. And more importantly, its policies are directly responsible for the skyrocketing prescription drug prices.

Twitter hiring Anthony Noto was one of the worst. They need to replace the board which essentially means someone needs to acquire them in order to unlock the potentials.

There are numerous feasibility studies in regards to high speed rail system connecting the Pacific NW corridor. You can go see for yourself. Just because you build a rail network doesn’t mean people will stop driving cars. In fact, prolifer

Well I would argue that there’s also a significant cultural difference. The American car culture is not going to go away. People here love their cars. In addition, people in China didn’t have broad access to cars until 1990s. Even now, it’s

The US, especially the NW, is not that dense which means the infrastructure must accommodate automobiles. The country is simply way too spread out to implement something that resembles rail systems in EU and Japan. While I would like to see

As someone who uses bricklink from time to time, I believe Lego is trying to control counterfeits. I know it’s becoming easier to replicate Lego products especially minifigures.

It’s just fancy pattern matching. Multi-stage heuristics. Where it fails is data limitations. This is different from someone coming up with new insights based on different combinations of data inputs and better yet entirely new data/me

Really, it’s the fact that MS had enough cash to burn through all the bad mistakes and arrive at the next technology leap in cloud computing. They were able to fail their way toward success because of the monopoly they enjoyed for two decad

This is why 65% keyboards are becoming popular. You get the compactness of a 60% with the functionality of a TKL. HHKB format is also nice if you can get used to it.

This is such a lazy and illogical argument. It is Facebook’s problem when they continue to ignore user privacy concerns and requests. Moreover, Facebook also provides data for targeted ads. They’re providing the very tools needed to run eff

I wouldn’t even mind the monopoly if they sold them at a reasonable margin which I imagine is something close to $20. More importantly, we need to change the curriculum to allow students to use softwares such as Mathematica.

I believe what’s missing from the recent analyses of beta/index investing is that alpha continues to lag when in theory stock pickers should be able to find more mispriced assets. Although volatility around earnings (which serve as val
