That is basically my strategy. Everything I buy is with the intent of selling in a couple of decades when retirement comes, at the earliest.

Would you have $100k now or would you have sold it when it tripled to $3000 because that would've felt like a really good return already, though?

I guess if your business is to make urns, then your innovation ideas all center around urns. For Spotify, it's ... more questionable, but I can't imagine it was their idea. But yeah, I agree with your sentiment, it's pretty w

Maybe I'm too old or my family was weird. We called it "le carwash" with a beautifully French "carouache" pronunciation. But yeah, "lave-auto" sounds more familiar.

I was speaking generally, and wrote that people like him (not him specifically) are elite within the top 1%. So basically 1% of the 1%. Not that I mean the percentages factually, more like an order of magnitude. But my point is, in terms of

There are people wired like Tao (or superstar athletes, supermodels, or other remarkable people) that don't achieve the same results. Even among the people who have similar "luck" in that respect, some still stand out. The pe

Tell me about it. When Brave started the whole BAT thing 8 years ago, I had a wallet with $25 in it. Lost access to it but today that wallet would be worth over $10.

The air travel industry as a whole never ceases to amaze me with how little regard it has for its passengers and crews. It's one thing to provide bad service, but these kinds of incidents just lack any kind of humanity.

If you had to choose between picking someone up at the airport or dragging a slice of pizza twice your size down the NYC subway stairs, what would YOU do?

Makes sense but there's just... so much of it. That and all the shovelware. It's just hard to imagine that's anything close to what Nintendo wants users to experience, but I guess they need the money.

I'm kinda baffled about the Switch store's quantity of dating/whatever adult-ish games. I don't really want to turn on age-based filters (to the point that I've never investigated if they even exist) but at this rat

The 16 hours of audio/video per day was a reference to being alive and hearing/seeing things for years before you actually could learn the alphabet. It was not meant as literally sitting at a screen with audio/video for 16 ho

They never made me say it but they did make me stand while the other kids did. That said... that was more than three decades ago. I was only 9 the first time it happened but even back then it felt really weird.

I found it interesting that placebo effect is also sort of relevant in pet care: it makes owners believe the pet is doing better. Unfortunately, the study that showed this used the same medicine my dog had been on, and since it was for epil

Someone born in 89, in many countries, would've grown up with the internet and non-smart cell phones, at least, no? They'd only have been 10 in 1999 when cell phones were pretty ubiquitous among adults. I'd say they were basi
