My first thought was that kids are spending more time on schooling and homework, and less on creative play and unsupervised time outdoors. Childhoods today are very different than 50 years ago.

This makes no sense. Apple makes computers. A car company is completely different, even it if Tesla's have bigger screens than other cars. There is no money in making cars, Apple is worth more than all the other car companies put toget

That link to ECB FX rates is the best thing on the page. A stable, free non-commercial source of market data is hard to find. https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/policy_and_exchange_rates/eu...

Imagine previous generations that were being drafted to the army to go off to WW2, Korea, Vietnam. Ah yes but Millennials have flat wages and expensive college. We've failed them all.

This surprised me so I checked, the detail is: "Sixty-nine percent (69%) of respondents reported they were living in San Francisco at the time they most recently became homeless. Of those, over half (55%) had lived in San Francisco for

I know a lot of Korean and Chinese school kids who cram study until late and night and that is just normal. I suspect 996 isn't that weird to many young Chinese developers because that is what they've done their whole lives. 9pm i

Its a great product, I'd think every home would benefit. But I'd like to know a lot more about how safe it is, especially when they get damaged and/or in a fire.

I'm just impressed the CEO did something himself. I always feel I should be delegating more, but often DIY is easier than explaining what you want.

I went to a Dermatologist who looks for weird spots then cuts them off to send to lab. I'm pretty certain they dont need 10 years of training. $300 for a 5 minute job.

This article was written before today's worse selloff - Uber is now less half the expected value earlier in the year. I wonder if this is the end of the current tech bubble. All those unlisted companies really aren't worth what ev

I can imagine some kind of OTC exchange where people dont have to worry about Sarbane-Oxley and other SEC rules as being useful. Is this what it will be? If you have to comply with SEC and the CEO can't post jokes on twitter, I dont re

Yeah this. I bought a Nexus 6p on sale, just over a year after it was released. This meant it was less than two years before it was no longer supported. The battery was replaced twice and was junk anyway. Good riddance.

I think the end of the Chinese speculative bubble is having huge effect in previously crazy hot markets. Vancouver, California, Australia/NZ, HK have all finally come down in price in the last year. Is going to be a hell of a hangover.

A lot of people were saying this in January 1998 as well, and the Nasdaq more than tripled in price after that (before going even lower).

From a national security point of view it seems a few well placed bombs in about 10 data centers will take out most of the US computing power. I'm a bit surprised DoD encourages the consolidation, though maybe once the software is clou

If I was going to Stanford I've love people like this in the class. These prestigious universities are a great place to work with wealthy and well connected people. You don't go to Stanford/Harvard/IvyX to learn from sec

Agreed, especially as for the first half of the period gold was the literally "gold standard" of wealth preservation.

The paper mentions survivorship bias but doesn't talk about markets that went to zero in this period. If you were investing in the last 19th century you'd have had big allocations to China, Russia etc that would have been complete

A lot of reasons but two fundamental parts as I see it First population growth, California's population is 10x what it was 100 years ago, so a family had an acre, now you have ten families on the same piece of land. That makes the land
