Out of curiosity, does anyone know what the state of the art for transcription is? Is there a possibility it will soon be "better than a person carefully listening and manually transcribing"? I ask because I asked a friend to reco

$100 sounds much worse than phrasing it as 27 cents a day. (cue cheesy music): "For just a quarter a day, you can save a struggling journalist from corporate overlords, submarine PR pieces, and human interest stories"

I was really hoping that Charles would just be king for a day and give it to William thereafter. Get some fresh blood in there, as well as a figure that didn't have 50 years of somewhat controversial behavior lined up behind them.

Or, maybe, Munger figured out that what was viewed as obviously correct wasn't actually correct, and created a unique design to explore the possibilities when the obviously correct thing was removed. The rebuttals to his design are bas

Houses are made in factories in America, and they are generally regarded as a supremely inferior product, at the very least because of width constraints for shipping them via trucks on highways. In what countries can you get high quality

Anyone can build houses out of more expensive materials, if they're ready to pay for it. America has an abundance of wood so wood framing houses seems sensible.

> fiduciary duty to maximize the share price This is simply not true. They have duties to the shareholders and the best interests of the company, which is not the same thing as maximizing the share price.

Well, most people do not consider "mountain biking" to be anything done on a mountain bike. If I sit on a trainer in my living room on my mountain bike, I am not mountain biking. Mountain biking was an example of a hobby that is v

Well, I've done both, and I've found parenting harder. I guess that's just my take. Were you raising children or just "homemaking", which doesn't necessarily imply childcare? You really can't think of any

No, it's just that child care doesn't turn off at a set time like most jobs do. Your schedule might be 6am-8pm, with multiple periods in the early morning while you're up. I say this as a person who has been both a full time

Roald Dahl books have sold over 300 million copies worldwide. The stories have been digitized, archived, transcribed, and photocopied an uncountable number of times. I think we will have no problem finding the 20th century versions.
