I think alderlake is very promising. Big-small designed cpus, even on x86, seem like the way to go.

Because for most consumers $60 is more valuable that 1% vs 0.6% cancellation rate [0], as it matters only once in 250 flights, which for an individual effectively means never. [0] numbers pulled from thin air but consistent with your 40%.

Inflation (at levels that it happens in developed countries) is good, as it forces people to spend on goods and services or invest in productive enterprises. It is actively bad for the society if one can just sit on money. Taxation is as vo

Sure, but this just means open source tax software isn’t viable. TurboTax integrates with most financial services Americans use, to compete with them this functionality has to be matched somehow.

Except it's very useful to be able to import the many many forms for the various sources of income automatically. If you're just a w2 and a 1099-int then yes, obviously it's not hard to file taxes manually.

It’s not whether you predict the company trajectory (possible) but whether you predict it better than other people who are also trying to predict. It turns out the average market prediction has low bias (stock go up or down).

If you have a fixed headcount, then forgoing one candidate for equivalent another doesn’t carry a cost. By hiring person A you would be missing out on person B, by hiring person B you would be missing out on A. The point is that the net cos

Yes, but better since with inflation the “real” dollars are lower. At 3% inflation that 20k in 30 years is like 8k now.
