The problem is that car racing is very boring if you allow engineers to go wild. For example using airflow to increase grip at some point gives advantage to the car in front. Pair that with powerful engine and there won't be any passin

Intel or AMD one? In my experience you get way more than 4 hours with an AMD one. I had an Intel one before and I agree: hot, loud, eats battery like crazy.

I think ThinkPads are better than MacBooks. You can get P14 with 32gb of RAM, 1TB SSD, very fast and quiet CPU (AMD U series), decent battery, 2.8k OLED screen and it weights 1.34kg (weight between 13 inch and 15inch new Airs). It also has

I mean, even if you take all the billionaires money and somehow liquidate it in efficient way it will only be enough for basic income of 500$/month for about 30 months (in USA). It's not like you can turn Tesla into housing for th

Yeah and if you get a blowjob for free every morning your life is going to be better as well. The problem is someone needs to be forced to provide it. That's about how much those experiments are worth.

Money supply has little to do with inflation. You can print like crazy and have about 0 inflation (a decade before Covid) or you can raise rates and have huge inflation. It's because inflation happens when supply of goods is limited. C

Land value tax is enough imo. Wasting land potential and speculation is heavily disincentivized by it. Penalties for not renting would be gamed in no time.

Or maybe NVidia was just heavily undervalued and the market just caught up. It wouldn't be the first time it happened. When AMD released first Epic/ThreadRippers which made it obvious they are going to wipe the floor with Intel, i

What I am saying is that P/E is based on current year earnings. It can be quite low but the company is terrible (Intel) or quit big but the company is great but chose not to cash out yet (Amazon from a few years ago). You should care a

Dividends don't matter. The companies just choose to buy stock from you with the profits instead of giving you cash. It's a smarter way because shareholders who want the cash can get it and those who don't can keep reinvestin

by bluecalm 3y ago
Yeah but why should anyone care about earnings in this exact year? P/E might be useful for your thought experiment about the genie but it's completely useless as a tool to value companies.

For now it's just promises from a failing giant, no? What makes you think they will suddenly be able to innovate after decade long stagnation and being beaten by AMD and NVidia? It's not like you can change company culture with si

One thing EU regulators could do is to say "ok but you have to charge the iOS user for it instead of the developer". Then if users accept it - fine, let them have it. The same should go for 30% appstore fee: make it explicit and a

I wouldn't say it worked "fine" for 25 years. It's still there all the time taking screen space. You can hide it but it will re-appear if you move your mouse to the now cleared screen real estate. The reason I need taskb

And how do you find "subproblems that might potentially overlap"? You go through the space and cache results of your calculations. I don't think there was a DP problem in my university days that couldn't be solved this

The question is about assets in one ETF being on the hook if the company goes in trouble. There either is regulation to prevent it or there isn't. I don't think you can answer it with general analysis like that.

Man, companies involved in crypto currencies trading getting into trouble is about the most common news out there. Making sure I am not exposed to this risk is just basic due diligence not being paranoid. You may disagree but the view that

They invest the loans and make even more money. No need to sell anything ever.

Dividends are not handed out because they are a silly way to distribute profits. Buybacks are better. This way people who want money out can sell some stock and those who don't avoid a burden of reinvesting the money as well as taxes.

Is there any guarantee that if this goes wrong (let's say ETF's are hacked and lose their BTC) then assets in other ETF's are safe? Let's say BlackRock ends up on the hook for billions after their BTC ETF goes wrong. Are

If you forgot to turn them off when it stops raining is more apt comparison except it's easier to detect no rain than no frosting conditions.

Good thing you reminded me of context menus when right clicking on files. Now everything that was easy with one click requires two and you get some useless options instead. I forgot about it because I was able to find a hack to bring the ol

It's not 100% reliable but there is a nice script called buttery taskbar. Check it out, it makes taskbar situation manageable. You just need to restart it sometimes.

The only sensible approach imo. It's copyright not readingright. AI should be judged by its output. If it's close enough to the copyrighted material then the publisher is liable. If it isn't they aren't.

I've been using Kagi for a few months now. It's able to find things Google doesn't on regular basis and I think the results are better in general. For some things Google is still better but then you can easily use it as well

My view is that one way to improve the situation is to move as much power as possible to a local level. Quicker feedback loop, getting to know people you vote for, seeing them work for the community could improve things. I think it's n
