Stock markets are natural monopolies. Liquidity begets liquidity. What would cause companies to choose other exchanges and what stops the dominant exchanges from adapting to changes that threaten its liquidity advantage. Is there anything s

I’ve done both kinds of work on my own home. Calling it back breaking is pure hyperbole. Is it physical, certainly. But it’s something you can easily do until you’re 50 without issue and between 40 to 50, you can start taking apprentices th

What is the energy density by volume? Which is more important for cars? Weight or volume? I would imagine that volume ultimately controls how much you can fit and that weight just negatively affects range of you have too much.

I would say that this issue is the lack of consideration for the duration of the non-compete. If a company is willing to pay me my full salary for the entirety of the non-compete, they seem reasonable. That said, it should still be somethin

I was looking into this recently and while I didn't find a great analysis, the impression I got was that financialization of the economy is a big part of this. There are tons of tax benefits for owning land and for many of them you don

I assume FAA Part 107, the basic license you need as a drone operator, wouldn't fully allow you to do what you're doing in the US at least. You're using the drone to go check on things you can't see from home. If you&#x2

This also seems like a great way for Harvard to colonize as many institutions with graduates easily. If employers don't know about the compression at the top and they do value GPA and the reputation of the school, it likely creates a s

Does the law specify the type of charger? Like do they have to allow you to install a level 2 charger or only a level 1 charger?

The other issue is having capacity in your panel. Most level 2 chargers are at least 50A and the average house has a 100A to 200A panel. Depending on your appliances, you may or may not have enough space left in your panel without doing at

My frustration is that they used to recommend you content you’d be interest in. Once they started making more money off original content and some licensed content the recommendation algorithm morphed into being more and more biased to the c

That’s why it’s better to have a mix of assets, some that can be easily liquidated, than cash. $1m in the right assets could become $4m in youre scenario with the same purchasing power of the $1m before inflation. In reality, you’ll probabl

Imagine paying in from age 15 to age 55 and then being told that in 10 years you’re going to 74% of what you’ve been paying for for 40 years. You’re 4/5ths of the way there before the bait and switch.

That’s not the material reality you’ve described because you immediately followed with “…everyone feels…”. Material reality would be something measured in objective material benefits enjoyed. Everything people read and consume today teaches

The US population has also grown by over 50% since 1965 or so. That’s a lot more competition for land. The percent of Americans living in urban areas has also grown over time. Together we have more American competing for limited urban real

Came here to say the same. The cities boomers grew up with are not the cities of 2022. Most of the interesting things that exist today in cities either didn’t exist for boomers when they were our age or was incredibly scarce and only within

That’s not the contract though. I and many others here have been paying in for years with the expectation that I can withdraw at 65. Honestly we should allow people to opt out entirely if they can demonstrate that they are adequately fundin

Wow. Just got citizenship and I was in disbelief. So glad I missed this. Absolutely dystopian to have to submit to a physical for citizenship for any country.

What people don’t get is that the opposite of conspiracy theorist is also a sort of theorist that chooses the prevailing narrative or status quo. A friend of mine coined the term complacency theorist.

Brilliant answer. This echos what I tell people about what you do after the senior level role. Senior means you’re leading usually one service or a small cluster of services with very few engineers involved. It’s largely a technical problem

The problem is that even if there weren’t brain drain, you’d still have less progress now because institutions trend towards bureaucratic risk “management” that all but neuters talent. You could have someone 2x an Einstein or an Oppenheimer

At the same time, there’s more than enough signal that we’ve done an intentionally terrible job looking into adverse effects, intentionally so because if the data isn’t there, it’s hard to demonstrate liability. On top of that there have be

Other than some niche tiny firms catering to the stupidly wealthy (the 0.1% and above) like a dynastic family investment fund, I can’t think of any. Can you elaborate on some examples?

This has been my observation as well. When I meet a boomer that went to an elite school I often find them impressive. Anyone that is a millennial that went to an elite school, rarely is more impressive than the folks I’ve met from second ti

I don’t know the answer here but I imagine a cultural attitude that reserves the greatest shame for anyone expressing authoritarian attitudes of any flavor. The problem we have today is that people will look at disdain for one flavor of aut

~$78k post tax, means that someone likely needs to earn $120k or more in income to foot this bill. That’s an astronomical sum when you consider that the US median household income is about ~$71k. $120k is around 87th percentile.

I’ve been saying that we need some sort of walkabout for while now. Turning 18 is a terrible proxy for adulthood, especially in a world where we continue to infantilize and arrest the development of young folks by further sheltering them. W

San Fransisco isn’t a person and therefore can’t have an opinion about whether to inforce laws. What you have are people fighting for control of San Franscisco (and other jurisdictions), some of which want control and don’t want to enforce

Fake accusations can happen for lots of crimes, not just rape. All it takes is someone being vindictive or petty and knowing they can get away with the fake accusation to destroy someone. In these cases, the system becomes the weapon. When
