I hate Google as much as anyone but Google Photos works for me behind a firewall just fine.

You touched on the reason I refuse to buy Samsung phones. In fact I'm mystified as to why Samsung devices remain so popular. When my wife and I were engaged she had one of the early Galaxy devices and it was awful. You don't get

I do something similar. Recent photos live on grandma-/normie-friendly services like Google Photos, and once every year or so I download everything and store it on platter drives locally with par2 archives to guard against bit rot.

Italian pizza and American pizza aren't really comparable, in my experience.

Honestly, outside of America it's quite unusual, yes.

Edit by way of reply since the edit window is closed: I apparently have seen pics of what I thought was the symbolics space cadet but apparently it's some other keyboard with parens on 0 and 9. My bad.

Fair enough. I use emacs as well, but apple touchpads are good enough that frankly it's probably faster for me to just highlight text in iterm2 with the mouse (which is what I do). In emacs I use the standard C-spc shortcuts, though.

It's hard to tell but it looks like they have open- and close-parenthesis on the base (un- shift ed) layer, which is awesome. That always puzzled me about the Space Cadet on the Symbolics Lisp Machines... you designed a machine from sc

The point is it's possibly the most secure investment available, so that's why it's a good proxy for the risk free rate. Whether or not you want to invest at that rate is entirely a separate conversation.

10 year treasury bonds are essentially risk free, as they are guaranteed by the US Treasury. Current 10-year yields are a bit less than 2%, so that's essentially your minimum return there.

The average SP500 return for the last 50 years is north of 10%, so I consider 8 to be meagre.
446.
by na85 5y ago
Sure but even a meagre 8% return on $950M is $76M. Buying and holding SP500 index funds in 2021 would have returned more than triple that, at 26% or so. You can give away 50 mil a year and still get tens of millions dollars richer if you&#
