Without being totally dismissive of every person who has contributed to the platforms you mention...99.99% of the stuff on YouTube is terrible, and most of the stuff written about GME was total nonsense. It is difficult to convey this becau

Because there is a difference between doing things to benefit the society you live in and doing things because someone from the govt told you to do it and you are worried you will get shot if you don't do it. Contrary to what other peo

Young people, I don't know if this is universal, associate bigness with badness and making money from trade with exploitation. The natural order is that some people need these companies to do something for them, that is why they exist.

It isn't because of the MBAs or because of the need to cut costs or whatever. It is to do with the employees too. If you start a company saying that you are very idealistic, you attract idealistic people (and btw, most companies say th

Their position is the globalist hyper-elite (like Martin Wolf in the FT...they all go to Bildeberg). This overlaps heavily with the free market viewpoint but over the past five years or so, it has become heavily diluted in some areas (for e

Tesla's lawyers sweating bullets. The narrative around FSD has changed very quickly this year. By the end of the year, Tesla is going to be neck deep in lawsuits.

I think the issue is that when you try to make reusable charts, you end up doing this stuff anyway. You aren't replacing logic but you are coding around d3's logic. I 100% agree though, it is very janky. The issues aren't lim

It is fairly simple imperative code: you just call functions on everything. Where it gets more complex is data and fitting that into an imperative model with very few flow control constructs: updating, creating multiple elements at once, do

Bingo. Even when you aren't doing animation frames, if you want to structure your app in a reusable way then you are (if you aren't careful) going to get lots of re-renders. If you are using hooks, and have useState/useEffect

Just 75%...wow...so low. The UK is doing close to 1m/day. Germany has what, ~1.4m that aren't being used. Amazing that people accept it.

It isn't, it is expensive and time-consuming to collect this data, and the edge is huge (I know a fund manager who has been spending several million a year for the best part of a decade collecting historical financial statement data).

I am not sure what you mean. Using sequential returns from every starting year in your database is, if I have understood you correctly, the same as using block bootstrap (at the limit, sequential returns from every starting year is the same

It is the same. What is the point of being alive if you aren't providing value to other people? Just sitting on your mountain of gold, and count it all day long.

From what I can see, that doesn't look too good. There are likely issues with the data, which is not easily solvable given that complete databases are expensive. And there are likely issues with the modelling, it looks like the model i

I used to work in financial services. I wasn't client-facing but because I had experience with financial modelling so I got roped into these discussions...in my experience, everyone gets this wrong. Advisers get it less wrong but I hav

The issue is not anyone alleging that staff are being forced to work there. The issue is: analysts are often told they won't do 100 hours, and that most of these people will leave and do something else which isn't a good outcome f

The issue isn't nights or weekends. The issue is: constant lack of organisation (i.e. everything is urgent and last minute), and not hiring enough staff. I don't think anyone has a problem with working at night or weekends. The is

The same argument was used to stop embargoes against apartheid South Africa...that was somewhat explicable given the poverty of South Africa, using it for a multi-billion tech company. Interesting take.

Controversial opinion on here but these are already directly related. ESG investing is investing. There is no difference. ISS reports or whatever ESG ranking de jure actually hinders that process because it tries to quantify and simplify so

I would Google Equity Risk Premium. I believe your estimate is correct but that assumes a risk-free rate of more than zero. The risk-free rate is close to zero, which is why DSM forecast ERP of 350bps (and I believe their data still has sur

Yes, all of those things aren't representative. I have no idea why people use the last fifty years, that is roughly your investing life-time, and you are using that as your only sample. That isn't investing, that is rolling the di
