As for (a): 20% is considered a huge interest by most people. But that's because most people are not entrepreneurs. A good entrepreneur is a poor college kid at age 20 and a multi-millionaire at 27. That's a growth rate that far exceeds 20%

I understand that debt can be distressful, and thus might even make the entrepreneur less productive. But having a side job is distressful too. If I had to choose between having debt, and working side jobs like I do now, I would choose the

About the calculation, I assumed that the fund takes loans from an imaginary bank at an interest rate "r" to pay for the loans. I calculated how high the r can get for the fund to break even, and that's the result I gave. (I solved it with

Obviously a positive return cannot be made from moving averages. But how do you know that the rats don't develop some sort of intuition that can make a positive return?

I'm not sure that what you say is right. What makes you think that it's the same?

"they all come from reputable brands. We have options from Canon, HP, Brother, and Samsung." I think HP printers are junk, at least in the below $500 range. I recommend buying a Xerox laser printer. In my country I've seen a Xerox all-in-on

This article presents a new idea for optimizing dense work environments. A person might find this idea interesting if his business is managing low-productivity workers. In my opinion, the money saved by this scheme will be negligible for em

I use a tiered password scheme, and I don't agree with this article. I think it's too much of a bother to be using a password manager all the time. Especially when using public computers. It's not just the effort that bothers me. I have a f

I read that. I meant an explanation which actually shows how it's built, not just describing generally its principle of operation.

It's really amazing, does anyone has a link to an explanation of how this works? does anyone have a theory? Also: Does the car driver mirror work from just the driver's angle, or from every angle? It would be amazing if it worked from every

It's probably because they distort the size/distance of objects, and drivers not accustomed to that might make an accident because of it.

If the author wants to explain to us why he thinks OO sucks, that is a legitimate criticism, even if for some of us it would be hard to swallow. However, the fact that the author does not acknowledge the advantages of OO, (even if he believ

I have my own domain too, in a shared server. But I set mine up to forward to my G-Mail account. How can one get a good mail interface if not through G-Mail?

I have that principle, but I'd relax it for HN. I think it's because I'll know that I'm being charged for a good reason. That, and there's no "cat in a bag" situation: I know exactly what I'm getting.

I can think of two wicked experiments right now. I don't know if they're relevant to you, but I'll describe them and you can decide for yourself. 1. You tie a string from the wall to a motor. Ideally you should be able to control the freque

I will attempt to summarize Vipassana as I understand it. According to Vipassana, all misery comes from "Sankaras". A Sankara is either a craving or an aversion. In other words, wanting something badly, needing it emotionally. The feeling a

In the "scrip" economy, couldn't they just let the value of the scrip change organically? If scrips are getting too precious, you can tell your babysitter that he'll be getting one scrip per two hours instead of one hour. If scrips are inde

I recommend this organization too. I would recommend to anyone to attend one of those 10-day courses. They assume you have no background knowledge whatsoever about meditation, and they teach you everything you need to know. The course is ve

Why is it hard to survive the night? Because of the coldness? Why would the coldness be a problem? Even if the machine couldn't operate in such a low temperature, can't it just hibernate until day?
