I think this asset class is crazy on the west coast of the US. Putting all your money in an illiquid asset, in a place where it might experience a significant earthquake, just to hedge against inflation. What could possibly go wrong? But..

So weird, phosphine is potentially the output of some life-based chemistry happening, but phophine has a lot of hydrogen. Hydrogen is something that Venus does not have a lot of. I haven't seen this addressed anywhere in the discussi

There were multiple things that went wrong, and it's extremely disingenuous to put the majority of the blame on Greenspan, Freddie/Fannie. Private risk assessment failed utterly, see Moody's. CDS allowed for infinite leverage

That doesn't seem to be what happens when the interest rate for full employment is below zero. I do think it has some other effects, like hedgefunds can easily leverage themselves to buy up assets that normal people want, like houses.

My understanding is that the spectrum follows the black body radiation curve with a temperature of approximately 6000K. Peak color is green. White is closer to the truth IMO because it is a combination of multiple colors, but still misses t

Are you willing to share any info on how you got stuck with this project, and what this "codebase" was? Can you call it a codebase is it doesn't have source code?

"Google has spent more money on lobbying in each of the past two years than any other company" Don't know if that's true or not, and how that compares to the sun total of lobbying. But, I could see why they would want to

Places that have big storms have these things called storm shutters, but I haven't seen a home that has it for thermal reasons. My experience is limited to the Midwest United States though.

My idea of a new "old" home is to take the best of both. Cupolas? Great. Also ducts, a nice south-facing roof for solar, a garage with multiple 240V circuits so I can charge my EVs. Gigabit ethernet. Insulation.
