My understanding (and it’s been awhile) is that the choice Neo made by going with Trinity and being alone with her instead of the group was a crucial moment which foreshadows his decision to save Trinity instead of fulfill his duty to as “t

I haven’t read much about the heat fact but the less body mass you have, the more you’d have to burn for heat (there is a relationship between body size and metabolic rate which is inversely proportional, small mammals and infants burn insa

So much has been built upon this framework in psychology and decision making that it’s probably work reading Thinking Fast and Slow. Not all of it has survived the replication crisis (in particular some of the experiments on priming) but mu

I feel like I always read reasonable criticism like this and find myself convinced, and then 5 or 10 years later realize that I've missed out on Amazon, Apple, Tesla, Bitcoin, etc. Granted I've probably also saved myself from inve

Inflation as measured by the fed tracks a basket of stuff more like steak than housing. I’ve seen people instead measure how USD tracks against BTC though, which then does become tautologically correct that USD suffers massive “inflation”

Ebay didn't stop buying targeted ads, afaik they stopped buying a specific type of ad in google search that had the keyword 'ebay' in it. Most companies bid up their own searches with the theory that they have to or else thei

Electricity to heat conversion is 100% efficient by definition (entropy), so it’s theoretically no worse than if OP bought a plug in electric heater afaik.

This is already kind of true but you don’t have to employ them, just run focus groups and surveys.

I hung around the Polymarket discord channel for awhile and there were very strong believers in the pro Trump narrative. Polymarket whales (Twitter) showed people sinking tens of thousands of dollars in pro Trump bets.

Then after he wasn’t they set up yet another market asking if Trump would be the sitting president in March 2021. It returns 5% or so in only a few short months.

If you value stocks based on book value + dividends and discounted cash flow, this bubble's been going on for almost a hundred years by now. We've just gotten used to the new multiples.

I have but I don’t click through the ad anymore. I just search on Amazon for the thing and buy it, since it’s usually cheaper.

Uber’s issues were with shadier ad networks afaik. Despite the noise, fb is actually one of the better sources of digital ad data, which speaks a lot about the dysfunction of the space overall.

This will be an interesting experiment to see to what extent people use social media as a news aggregator vs for its supposed purpose of keeping up with friends. I also have hopes that news media will be able to invest in higher quality jou

Yea but that’s what people thought at 100, 1000, and 10000 too. A lot of people dismiss the possibility of a 10x rise in price and fixate on the 2x reduction. That kind of pessimism is hardwired in: humans have stronger loss aversion. But i

A similar principle applies to tech stocks too. I know some Tesla and Apple millionaires. After reading The Psychology of Money I’m trying to be a more “buy and hold” investor and “let my winners ride”.

If you're fairly good at coding interviews, last I checked interviewing.io lets you skip the line to onsite at big names like Uber and Lyft.
