What does that mean his wealth hasn't reduced? Any money that he's given away (and he's given away a lot) has reduced his wealth. He'd be worth more if hadn't given it away.

He won't sell it all at once. Bill Gates used to own lots of Microsoft stock. Over time he sold it off and diversified, to the point that it's now only about 25% of his net worth. The key thing is that over time, Microsoft transit

I'm not sure what you mean here. Are you implying that the world has come to accept PETA's cause. Because while some issues are dramatically different than 20-30 years ago (e.g. marijuana legalization, gay marriage), I don't

Yes, but in this environment, I'd probably try to buy something new without selling (but renting out instead). Also, if lots of people are buying and selling, even if aggregate demand is the same, it's a more liquid market. If I&#

My 30-year mortgage is locked in at 2.875%. My overall mortgage payments would go up 60% if I took out a new loan for the same amount at 7%. On one hand, this means that prices need to come down to get houses into peoples' price ranges

I don't know. Maybe I'm in a bubble, but it seems to me that knowing the basics of AWS (or some cloud provider) has become part of the standard developer's toolkit. With AWS specifically, there's so much documentation ou

I’ve tried the Magic Leap before. It’s super cool. In the demo I saw, the software scans the room and gets the shape of the area. It then sets up a coral reef in the middle of the room and you see a giant coral structure with fish swimming

Of course. Sometimes companies do things that are blatantly illegal and they know it. Usually they don't put these things down in SEC filings. For example, I'm sure that many hedge funds routinely trade on insider information and

10% might be arbitrary but it seems to be a number that people have found to be reasonable for over 2000 years, so it is well tested. If you go too low then less money goes to charity. Too high and people brush it off as unreasonable. On a
