If it were a “down to earth” video that’s fine but TikTok culture encourages polished, professionally-lit quirky and provocative performances while being sexy and dressed like a LA yoga hipster. I assume that will carry over to this video r

It’s not that it’s hyped, it’s the large scale and empty essence of the hype. The essence is “it’ll go to 500k”. It’s an echo chamber of get rich for nothing excitement.

I had a related idea, to make a running program produce an audible hum like a car engine would. And the hum would vary depending on what paths of the program are executing, so you get an idea what/how your code is "doing" by

Since I hold the more correct stance that these saas products are full of shit and can instantly disappear, I never dared to interpret “buy” as buy to own forever. To me “buy” on prime is “the other more expensive rent option when the cheap

Is there legitimate support for this hollow sun theory, or is this a fringe theory like flat earth and so on?

I don't believe that at all. These giant companies are not just in the business of fending off bad PR, they're looking to make a lot of money for their investors, for decades to come.

I bought two VWs after the cheating scandal. My impression is that because of the cheating scandal, the carefulness and quality per dollar is very high. I did a bunch of research when purchasing, and quantitatively, features and comfort per

I spent time on these apps and I disagree with you. A large subset of what I saw were conspiracy theories and racist hate speech.

This type of anti-American sentiment is boring and old-hat. I often hear it made by Europeans who still insist EU countries like France and Germany are so much better. In reality EU is a polarized racist political swamp.

It seems like the unlikely alternative. What would motivate everyone to keep money in assets that aren’t moving, or barely moving? Perhaps if there are zero alternatives — nothing is growing faster — then yeah... That’s hard to imagine.

Tragically, a non-trivial number of Ph.D. students commit suicide. It's natural to gradually put all your eggs in the imagined Ph.D. outcome (e.g., an idealized notion of a professorship) with increasing depth as the years wear on. Aft

Isn't the book example broken, because only one person can have the book? In shorting, it sounds like you can sell the same share to 2 different people.

It’s probably burnout. I felt the same after grad school. I couldn’t look at my computer for a year. I spent half that time traveling and the other half getting into visual art. I begrudgingly took a job because I was broke, and gradually g

To cover their short position at a huge loss, funds would have to sell their long positions, which is basically a big sell-off. That may be just temporary. But in a deep bubble it could trigger a mass selloff and a recession.
