While they may have enough money year on year - as someone who has been donating yearly for the past 10 years I prefer that it stays ad free. It is a fantastic resource and while is a need for increased transparency, more fiscal responsibil

Oh just an FYI - I'm getting a 403 error when trying to subscribe to your mailing list, it looks like a CSRF error: "CSRF verification failed. Request aborted."

Really great to see alternatives to plaid! A few years ago I looked to setup an online finance tracker for personal finance and eventually dropped the idea of connecting with Banks using Plaid or Salt due to the excessive costs - especially

Yes, hopefully SpaceX can do it quicker than 10 years! Considering 15 years ago they started with their first rocket and how far they've come in that time I have high hopes. I think Elon was hoping for a manned mission to Mars in 2024

Haha, good point - we'll have to come back in 4-5 years time when SpaceX have touched down on the moon and mars and check the cost. Considering their low cost & speed at getting things into orbit these days and the plans they have

NASA also requires 10-100x more money & time to do so. Both just have very different ways of working. Both work and there are pro's and con's to either way!

Why doesn't good spin off these amazing projects into their own companies and have 3,5,10 year goals associated with these projects. Like I get the need to shut something down if there's no product market fit but at least when you

Much better explained than in my computer science lectures! Nice simple examples. It's such an important topic to grasp too if you're going to end up working with software!

Some good points! I do think that most people are not used to how science can change over time and that what most science is is just what the majority of scientists have come to conclude from their independent studies. Most people have not

A great breakdown - thanks for the insight! I often panic when I look at the amount of money printing thats going on but I always forget about the velocity! I think this might be because it's rarely talked about. What are your thoughts

This is also because learning to live with each other is harder than just denouncing the other side. We need to help people understand that the root cause needs to be examined as you said. This looking for the root cause usually works well

I've always thought the same! It would make history so much more relatable and generate more interest in ancient buildings. They wouldn't even have to do all of it, just one third would at least show us what we think it used to lo

Unfortunately, waiting for something to happen is not what humans are good at... hence why autopilot is used on planes fly most of the time. We're better at reacting to a situation. It is a shame that those in power have the ability to

A case of hype getting ahead of itself. While we're well on the way to driverless cars, as mentioned in the article the first 90% is the easy bit and then things get exponentially harder after that... The amount of complexity still ama

Thats the great thing about Exchange Traded funds which track an index - there's no thinking to do just invest in the fund for example this is a popular one: Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) And when you buy this you are effectively buyi

Yes, in my initial post I had meant "liberal" as in, will they continue being happy under the thumb of a surveillance state which doesn't allow XYZ. Not surprisingly people took that word to mean a great many different things

As jobs transition out of China towards lower cost countries it'll be interesting to see how China handles the new middle class expectancies. Richer people tend to have more liberal views etc etc. Also, will they subsidise and keep the

After paying off existing debt the next best thing once you have an emergency fund covered is stocks and maybe a little crypto if you're feel like future proofing yourself. The yield on government bonds is really low at the moment and

Why not just find the best people for the job who can understand the needs of the project they're working on and execute correctly? Running two teams against each other just screams of waste/bad management in my opinion.

So you think that we've just been lucky so far and that the breakthroughs are going to dry up soon?
