LLCs need to declare the beneficial owner(s), which is supposed to give transparency and KYC to corporate structures like that.

People frequently lose a significant amount of money due to hacking, fraud, or extortion with no legal recourse. This is not where you want your grandparents parking their life’s savings.

I find the downvotes on my comment somewhat curious and amusing. But an example of what I am talking about is a reduction of buttons on TV remotes. Often manufacturers are reducing buttons and promoting the microphone/audio prompt b

I think people want to use it for their own benefit. Years of invasive advertisements has many people convinced that AI integrated into consumer products are more for corporate benefit, not the user's benefit.

How is your sleep quality? If that is good, I also recommend meditation. Journaling is also great for distilling and capturing experiences.

Having a large body of old software and games, written for various random platforms across 20+ years is also a killer feature.

I have a hypothesis that to move beyond being a consumer of technology to being a producer of technology, modern education in software development should be built on building fundamentals through first principles — especially with kids

Interesting hypothesis. Mental acuity does seem higher while fasting. Is that a dopamine specific effect, or could there be a handful of hormones impacting mental state?

My implication is that if you think the company doesn't understand the business value of something you think is valuable, you should try to see it from their perspective or at least verify your assumptions. Most of the time they are r

I think your assumption that everyone gets to select the tasks they want to work on is probably inaccurate for most organizations. Any reasonable manager will ensure that important but unglamorous work is getting done. They might assign t

I don’t think your point disagrees with my point. The better aligned your perception is with management on where/how value is getting delivered, the better you will judge how to invest your time. You might be right and they might be

Many people also confuse how hard they work for how much business value they create. Staying late, working long hours is only beneficial if it creates value. Is that work something that anyone else could do? Does it reduce costs or incre

Portfolio theory suggests holding uncorrelated assets and rebalancing. If/when the stock market has a down year, it hopefully softens the drawdown.

In general, yes. Jewelry can be melted down and repurposed. It’s also visible in the physical world, which means more to many people today (maybe not to future generations). In that way, I think NFTs are more comparable to, say collectib

Gold was historically uncorrelated to other asset classes, so there was a portfolio theory reason to allocate in gold. In times of uncertainty and fear, people would flee to gold. Afaik, this effect has been muted in recent years. I don’

Besides practical use, gold also has aesthetic use: jewelry, as an external status symbol of wealth. That is not possible for crypto currencies in the same way. Of course as online presence and social structures mature, this might change.

The author’s answer was clever, but also unconventional. The company was probably looking for someone that would write code in a shared codebase that other developers will need to contribute to and maintain. Thinking outside the box and n

I am trying to figure that out. All the manufacturers today are trying to sell connected services, so devices are accumulating lots of features and heft. In addition, none of the manufacturers quantify the strength of vibration (what units

My preferred alarm clock is the vibration from my fitness band. I wanted something extremely light with a long battery. Unfortunately, no modern fitness bands target this functionality. The vibration is weak, band is heavier, and the use

Industrialized countries generally have high cost of living. It is much more common for both parents to work than 50 years ago. Also, for many, a career involves moving away from parents, grandparents, and siblings. This all leads to a v

Single use plastics are convenient, are 99% of the problem, and could be phased out feasibly. Perfect is the enemy is good. Not pointing fingers at anyone in particular, but people arguing with absolutism on plastics is a dead end.

Thank you for adding that link. What I find particularly remarkable is that the author of that comment is John Nagle himself (of Nagle’s Algorithm fame https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagle%27s_algorithm ).

It seems that the boiling point and flash point of rosin is quite high, somewhere close to 390 degrees Fahrenheit. So, transferring the heat directly into potato probably has some positive effect on cooking, but I would think cooking potat
