The airline industry is a good example of an "open" market that is really anything but. It is effectively an state-supported oligopoly. Airlines have split up every major market, usually with very little competition amongst themse

If penguins in the remote Southern Indian Ocean have high levels of toxins in them, then I really don't even wanna know the amount of toxins I have in my system.

I was wondering about this after a recent beach trip I took. I won't name where I was, but I noticed a considerable improvement in sand quality on the beaches in front of the nice hotels. It was a quality difference that went beyond no

I wonder what the revenue of their customers looks like. They have to have a ton of revenue from other startups that themselves are in tenuous financial positions. From the employee's perspective, it definitely sucks though. I went thr

The airline that stands to lose the most with the downfall of Boeing is actually Southwest - whose fleet is entirely composed of 737s. Not MAX's yet, but that was at least the plan before more of these problems were exposed. I can&#x27

Most of tech was a ZIRP (zero interest rate phenomenon). And yes, that includes people that were higher up as well. Money was basically free for 15 years. It is not free anymore. It will take some time for people to internalize this. Of cou

I think it's because the 8 & 9 variants were approved prior to the discovery of the nacelle issue. So the difference is approving a mitigation for an unknown issue in the case of the 8 & 9 vs. approving an exemption for a known

The more I learn about stuff like this, which happens in many other places at either the same or different levels of government, the more I believe that democracy in the United States is effectively a sham.

Honestly if you're moving just for a job, you're a sucker. You need to be moving so that you can be in a city you want to be in, you get offered at least 50% more money in nominal terms probably 20% in real terms, or you're m

There seems to be a crazy amount of chemical waste all over the metro Denver area. I don't live in Lowry, but I play hockey maybe once every 1 to 2 months at Big Bear Ice Arena, which is in that neighborhood. There's also the Rock

Right. It is incredible to me that a lot of "thought leaders" are acting like this situation hasn't been handled in a structured way since the 30s by the FDIC. It has really made me believe that a lot of tech is just grifters

Still surprising to me how tech is trying to spin this as some novel event. Fractional reserve banking was a known quantity. Risk management of your cash matters in a system like that. Full stop. Whether you think fractional reserve banking

That's funny - I've noticed a lack of basic knowledge of fractional reserve banking and the FDIC in the tech crowd.

Thank you for your comment even though you disagree with my tone. It is admittedly a little jagged, but I really hope people think about the extraordinary (in the literal sense of that word) measures that have been taken here.

Any humility gonna be considered in the tech community? Like any at all? You're part of the establishment now and should be thankful that big brother stepped in and saved you. Seems like tech is systemically risky and should be highly

How is the panic "unnecessary"? Are you saying that if your personal bank told you that you could get your money back, but just not right now, that you'd be ok with that? Liquidity is a key feature of banks and it relies on t

I don't, but the opportunity cost of an MBA is insane. If you're making $150,000 and the cost of tuition + COL is say, $60,000, then you're opportunity cost for going to school is $420,000. Which means you'd likely not m

If the pandemic were truly killing millions of people every month then by this point we'd've seen a dip in the global population.

EVs are the biggest false solution out there. We are looking at decimating larger and larger portions of the planet just to preserve our stubborn dependence on automobiles. I like automobiles and don't want them banned, but the real pr

I learned that it's ok to be working a job or on something just because it can be stable and it pays the bills. I think I've looked to work maybe too much for purpose, and if you're not working for yourself it's going to

That's kinda what I was saying The US has places that you can live cheaply if you're able to arbitrage a remote job. It doesn't look as good if you're not able to work remote.

What countries aren't struggling with this sort of dynamic? I almost think that the US is doing pretty well with this in the sense that you can still move somewhere that's cheap relative to your salary, but that only holds true if

I think the key point in this article, which I really enjoyed reading, is the difference between expectations vs. reality. The truth is that our educational system at its highest levels - private schools through university and then most uni

The car dependence in America is so strong, that I think 99% of the population doesn't realize what is possible even with slightly reduced (not eliminated) car dependence. I grew up in the suburbs and felt *trapped* until I was able to

You should start to think about how well capitalized your company is if you're working at a private fintech startup.

I graduated from a reasonably well ranked liberal arts university and have worked in tech for the past 4 years. After buying my first property and realizing how much I didn't know about fixing anything in the place, I started to think

Potentially - but the quantity focus that you're talking about is a direct result of the construction and development that we allow. We basically prohibit people taking risks in architecture and design because it's impossible to b

Check out the numbers in Chicago - neighborhoods like Avondale, Rogers Park, Uptown, etc. The tradeoff is definitely worth it.
