I did the same thing about 2 years ago, after I calculated how much in fees Wealthfront (or Betterment) would cost me. I also didn't agree with some of the investment choices they force you to make (Wealthfront invested 5% in commoditi

Yea, but what's to stop Python 4 from doing the same thing as Python 3? It's clear from the tone of this article that the python core devs haven't learned the value of backwards compatibility even after their huge python 3 fa

I think this is because it's much easier to lecture in front of a camera than to spend time creating an easy-to-follow tutorial with illustrations. Compare the number of professors who lecture undergraduates with the number who write t

This company provides inspirational, collaborative, nice office spaces for very high prices (compared to traditional office space). Their outsized profits will encourage competitors to enter the space and undercut them on price. Is there a

Investing $4000/month (which is what I do on a salary barely over $100k while living by myself in a 1 bedroom in the East Village, NYC and going out for every meal) at 3% will get you $1 million in 17 years. That means you'll be a

What about the tenants? Why are people so focused on increasing house prices? No one wants food prices to be high or internet prices to be high. In a small town that's shrinking rapidly, the people who live on the margins in maybe-cond

Haha, Bloomberg is not a suit and shirt place! When I worked there, I wore sandals, shorts, and a t-shirt. Lots of other people (including my manager's manager) did the same. There was also a guy dressed like a heavy metal rocker who was in

Your anecdotes about Germany vs Uganda are a big part of the reason the average German is 30 times richer and can expect to live nearly 30 years longer than a Ugandan. Ask anyone where they'd rather live and they'll pick Germany. You can sa
