I suspect that by minimising someone else’s work it allows the commenters to feel better about themselves. As a general rule/perspective.

I think it’s not explicitly stated but consider the companies that have not IPOd and getting funding privately - I think that was his point.

Yup. Strikes me as obvious that folks figured out how to get in there earlier rather than leave it to the public markets. Just sort of speaks to a combination of market efficiency plus increased regulation in my mind.

This is an interesting point. Maybe the problem is most people don’t drive boats or planes so are not familiar with the experience in those contexts. I think you’re right from the boat standpoint a “auto pilot” means you set a heading and t

Yeah rereading as another commenter pointed out it’s all a joke/satire.

Also my question. Understanding the credibility/experience up front would be helpful in the article.

Yeah. I like to think about why something is the way it is. If they are trying to accomplish something similar to me, then copy away. But if their circumstances and objectives are different…

I did a quick search to understand how the crabs eyes work. If they see less detail then this must be even more convincing.

I think it depends on the relationship with the junior. If you do have a level of trust, this wouldn't be a question. If you don't have a level of trust, then is there a way to build it quickly, so you can help them get to the rig

This is a question. What is your real question? Are you looking to build something now?

(Making no judgment on the next 1000. Only making the observation that the inheritance is the result of the prior step change.)

by jbs789 2y ago
Yeah this was more my take - Industrial Revolution was a step change, and you saw that flow through to future generations / inheritance.

The roof stuff drives up prices massively. The MGA stuff is just the tool/response for the insurer to manage the downside for things like the roof nonsense - if they can pocket the fee when they write the deal then if there’s a subsequ

Solve the problem. Start there, no matter the tool.

It’s not clear to me when or how you “choose” your row of 5. I feel dense but I don’t think this is described…

This was my gut reaction too. I don’t know a tonne about the models but the white balance and lighting is quite unusual in this photo. As well as the presence of another person with a darker skin tone. So a person looking at the photo knows

Fascinating bc I have seen this behaviour as an observer of others - I read the first couple paragraphs and landed in the same spot.

The large banks have achieved scale in terms of accepting deposits and lending at lowish margins. To accept deposits they need regulatory approval and oversight. For higher margins lending products they are absolutely being “disrupted” by p

Particularly post GFC when net interest margins went through the floor, banks had to keep up revenue amid heightened capital requirements - they increased fees and cut back on employees. If you’re thinking the fees don’t matter relative to

This is simply not true. The risk of extreme events is up. One source (there are many): https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06444-3

Why is it so hard for people to just acknowledge the world is changing, and we had something happen, and we can improve some things? Frequency and severity of fires is up, and people have been building closer to the areas where they happen.

“Not a risk to our system” I have no doubt that’s heavily lawyered and is justifiable. What is their “system”… Define it the way you want and the statement is true

Umm… continuing the donut example, the owners are likely maximising their return given their skill sets, knowledge, time, etc. But return is pretty nuanced too bc it probably is not just be profits, but family time etc. in any event, I thin

A user buys a car because it gets them from point A to point B. I get what you’re saying though - we are earlier along the adoption curve for these models and more responsibility sits with the user. Over time the expectations will no doubt

Knowing how to code can have very useful local applications, which reduces your competition. Of course it may not immediately scale in the same way but leveraging connections and local know how is an angle that tends to go under-explored at

The article makes no statement about injury rate, just number of injuries.

There was an article recently about the importance of designing the function signature, and I connect that to creating the appropriate level of abstraction, which also connects to this. Guess it’s all about creating the right interfaces, bu

This seems analogous to a supermarket selling its own private label product. Should be disclosed though.
