Meh. I live in the core area the author describes. The retail situation is frustrating but at least as much a function of Amazon as rapacious landlords. And eventually the vacancies will force a reset of retail rent expectations and things

Is there any Windows replacement for Alfred/Launchbar? Give me that and I’m out of here.

Not to mention Amazon Prime works on a smart TV right out of the box and doesn’t need an Apple TV. I have a limited investment in purchased iTunes content that I’m just going to write off when I get a new TV and switch to Amazon.

The new MacBook Pro keyboard/port situation/touchbar is a complete fail. Another company would say oops and revert. Apple never will. They see it paramount to project a corporate image of infallibility above actually creating prod

Absolutely agree. I went through the same quest with my kids around that age. Scratch is OK but feels a bit limited. Tried finding a contemporary Logo but that language seems long dead. Python/Ruby probably great for older kids but to

True but respectfully not the point here. Post the drug war on marijuana (a day rapidly arriving) it is reasonable to look at things objectively, consider the possible risks, and make an informed decision on whether to partake. Just because

I am very much a layman here. Can someone in this space tell me what it means to shine light on a number?

I run a hedge fund. There are no hedge fund managers I respect who don’t run their personal accounts on IB. The IB platform is in many ways ahead of the full suites provided by leading prime brokers and third parties. I see many hedge funds

And now it takes a year to do basic sewer repairs on my NYC Street. What happened!

A few things. Life does tend to get more expensive. Kids cost more. Then your parents age and may need help. Around your 40s-50s is when these obligations really pick up.

If you weren’t around at the time it’s hard to understand just how much beyond every other home computer platform the Amiga was. Yet another data point that “best” doesn’t always win.

The griping isn’t about subsidizing those less well off. The griping is about a warped Federal system which systematically allows states with representation disproportionate to their populations or wealth to siphon excessive resources.

I think the two killer apps for crypto are money laundering and tax evasion which are two core competencies of the Swiss economy so their moves here are not surprise.

Yay. Now that the bank money laundering game is drying up due to international regulation, Switzerland can find a new parasitic way to earn money helping corrupt oligarchs hide their stash.

Blackrock’s attempt to distract public and political attention from the fact that they control such a vast amount of capital. Good PR. Won’t achieve anything but good PR.

Net neutrality is lovely but if people think this is the biggest problem we have coming out of the Trump administration then they really need to consider their priorities.

How is a 1% position in a VC fund a monster bet?

NYC is a wonderful and safe place to visit or live. People raised on too many cop shows may miss this. It’s not perfect -no place is - but it is quite safe.

This is a good point. DC is no more “unaffordable” inherently. DC puts the volatility of upside and downside shocks on the individual (or more practically an age cohort) versus smoothing it out over wider age cohorts. For example, I have lo

In my 20s and 30s I loved an OS I could hack around in and play with. Now I just want my freaking email to work and the computer not to blow up every time there is an upgrade. Most people are like that. Linux on desktop is neat and all but

The Mac platform is comatose and we all know it. The author is dead right with his points. I switched to Mac about 10 years ago and was blown away by how amazing it was. A year ago I got a Windows machine at work. At first I was horrified

Complaints about how short term focused equity investors to the detriment of long term planning almost always come from people who either don’t really understand what active equity investors do or are entrenched management trying to bury ba
