“Quite the contrary. Jefferson called this the “natural aristocracy” — an elite based not on wealth or birth, but on virtue and talent” - Jefferson was a guy who based on the wealth he was born into owned humans born into that role. Let the

Not surprising that the omni-shambles which is WBD (Warner Bros Discovery) continues to hemorrhage any remaining goodwill with the creative community. There is a mandate there to get short term cash flow up to service all the accumulated ac

Apple stopped any significant innovation on the iPad platform many years ago. It is an also-ran cash cow for them not anything worthy of investment. I say this as someone who was once enthralled with the platform and it is sad. It’s hilario

This is awesome. I just trained a large neural net on top of my toaster while waiting for my morning pop tarts.

The market makers do understand why they are trading and understand it has nothing to do with fundamental value. That may be your reason for trading. They are there to rapidly and correctly assess short term supply and demand so they can ex

Two years into the sport and I’ve never had a close concussion call or seen anything close. Heads could hang into each other on a crowded mat I suppose but that risk is darn low if you are paying attention.

I’d pay 3.5k to have three large screen monitors working at home without cluttering up the house with 3 actual large monitors.

It’s interesting to me how much of the hostility to this drug has a moral dimension. I am quite fit for my middle age. It’s a relative superpower which confers a degree of status in this world. It’s not why I originally became fit 5 or so y

The code insertion part is interesting. I could see it being the hook to finally get my 12/13 year old daughters to play with code a bit.

Very cool. Peak Lotus 123 will always be the cartridge form for the PCJr which was prob the only great thing about that blighted machine.

Amazing how much emotion a physical retrocomputing experience to our youthful days can be. Emulators are neat but they don’t trigger the physical sensation of the keyboard, the sounds, hell the smells. Like nibbling a madeleine for some of

I’ve been on the app all morning and loving it but it’s not even full size on my iPad. Come on Apple you can do better than that!

Most Ivy League schools could eliminate most teams and most students/donors could care less. This isn't Duke or Michigan we are talking about.

MBS have a double whammy when rates rise. Not only are the mortgages yielding less relative to current rates but prepays decline so the duration extends. A lower relative rate for a longer time means a lower market price.

I think that's the case but wonder what the process is for something coming off the GRAS list. Could cause a big headache for a bunch of companies like Whole Earth Brands who have a lot of capital tied up in Erythritol.

Erythritol is allowed in food under the FDA GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe) program. Curious if anyone with knowledge of that program has a view on whether that designation may be at risk which would require a lot more studies before Eryt

Maybe in theory. The message I get from almost everyone at a regulated institution is Bloomberg, e-mail, or voice. When the SEC is on a warpath, compliance and legal departments don’t play with anything but the clearest black and white line

For equities that is true and most Bloomberg functionality can be replicated with Sat Interactive Brokers plus some data subscriptions. Doing fixed income manually without the data pre populated in Bloomberg is very painful. But yes, the ch

Three cheers to this. Let all the world’s knowledge be open and free. There is much to bemoan about the state of the world today but on the other hand for someone outside academia who loves to learn this is the golden age. Curious dilettant

Remember when Adams was telling the world that he was a demigod of hypnosis persuasion and whatnot in the early Trump period? The guy has been seriously unhinged for a long time no doubt made much worse by the ability of uber-rich dudes to

Rather sweeping statements about an awful lot of people you have never met. It is actually easier to be superficial with spiritual practice when immersed in its culture. Plenty of “spiritual” practitioners are playing social status games, g

I think there are (at least) two types of learning modes. One way is to teach a bunch of implementation up front and save the “why this all works” for years down the line. Some brains like a build up from basic principles. My brain works th
