I'm not great at reading financial results, but $TSLA is up ~17% after hours, so I'm assuming they did well.

I enjoyed your point about credentialism. If anyone is looking for a good primer on the issue read the "Occupational Licensure" chapter of Capitalism and Freedom by Milton Friedman.

Yes, but that doesn't change my point. They identify an inefficiency and ask the government to "fix" it, but in reality they were the inefficiency themselves. They didn't use their dollars, time, and/or knowledge to

I can't understand what people actually have against capitalism. Most of the times when I hear about the problems of my generation much of it comes down to personal choice. You don't have to go to an expensive college, you don&#x2

I don't know what it is, but it does satisfy an itch. I took one class that used Haskell and ever since then I find myself missing it. I think something about writing in the functional mindset makes it easy to write "elegant"

I would say there is some lucky with becoming extremely wealthy, but in general there is a pretty easy formula to becoming wealthy if you're smart. Invest a decent portion of your income into index funds and live below your means. On a

It's only okay to discuss left-leaning policies at work. I'm libertarian leaning and keep my mouth shut because if I said how I felt about half of the things my co-workers discuss I would be ostracized.

I think there is still a big issue with pegging home ownership as the quintessential "American dream". In a lot of ways home ownership actually leads to worse outcomes than renting, but so many people think it's the one thing

Tax rate is figured off of gross. You could easily inflate your tax burden by taking it as a percentage of net income.

I don't know how inflation doesn't happen. If you increase the money supply you increase demand for goods.

I'm curious - why is the pro membership limited to 500 zapmarks? Seems like it would be trivial to make that unlimited.

Started back in WW2 when the government restricted the ability for employers to offer higher salaries, so employers offered additional compensation to employees outside of salary. That coupled with today's tax incentives have made it s

I think it's unlikely that Dropbox files would just disappear from the disk. They might not update, but that's the only realistic option.

Sure, that's fine. They're protesting for a government to use force to guarantee their higher wages. I have no problem with someone asking their employer for a higher wage, but just because they aren't productive enough to ea

The right amount is the amount set by the market. I don't understand these people protesting... no one is forcing you to work for Uber.

I can't stand Emacs on Windows. Even trying to keep a simple TODO list in org-mode is painfully slow for me. I was explaining to a co-worker how amazing emacs and when I showed him all he saw was a lag ridden mess. I use it at home on

Learn about it. I would recommend A Random Walk Down Wall Street [1] and The Boglehead's Guide to Investing [2]. They will give you a good primer, but in essence the best thing you can do it nothing at all. As you get older you'll
