It does, which is what happened today, and once (or twice? I can’t remember now, which is a bad sign...) in the last couple of weeks. The circuit breaker still breaks, it just breaks with the price down 8% or whatever.

It’s a bailout that doesn’t cost the government any money and that is guaranteed to be returned. Unfortunately, poor people aren’t a guaranteed return or the government would give subsidized payday loans. That said, the whole system needs t

I’d definitely take 100% * $100k = $100k over 0.01% * $10M = $1000, especially since money has diminishing returns to happiness. Now perhaps you think your odds are better than 1/10000 or that you’d make 10 billion instead of 10 millio

At some point, not only do returns diminish, but they actually become negative because your productivity during the first forty hours of the week goes down when you don’t get enough sleep, relaxation, etc. Perhaps that point is at 100 hours

You think that... Tencent had your questions about Kindles censored? But why? That doesn’t even make any sense. Much more likely, the independent moderators of that subreddit decided that it wasn’t a helpful post.

At some point, working more hours makes you less productive. As an obvious example, you can’t work literally every hour of every day, since without sleep or food you can’t function. Now perhaps the curve for you really does peak at 100 hour

In my /etc/hosts file, I redirect distracting websites to 0.0.0.0 to block them. There's nothing stopping me from enabling a website beyond the effort to type in sudo vim /etc/hosts, but yet I now spend a lot less t
