Become a morning person (oddly enough, I'm typing this at 12:45 am... but I'm also unemployed right now). Use brainwave entrainment technologies and meditation to get yourself to sleep in the evening, because you probably haven't had a habi

I feel like a second-class citizen when I'm looking for apartments and have to sift through ungodly crap, much of which is priced above what I'm willing to spend. The inherited wealthy are a small set of people, but they have a huge effect

I'm going to comment on a micropoint, since the main issues seem pretty well covered at this point. <i>Having discovered that Google is not, in fact, the promised land, a number of Googlers have left recently to join start-ups, hott

"First of all - you should disregard unusual personal experiences if you don't know of any way to repeat them. I dream. I even start halucinating when I don't sleep enough. People can even dream and halucinate under fairly ordinary circumst

It's doubtful that Giffen goods exist at all, but wine is a beautiful example of a Veblen good; demand actually strengthens rather than recedes as the price increases.

The S&P, which models a portfolio of 500 large-cap stocks weighted by market cap, is adjusted for splits and dividends. Splits effect neither the index value nor the weights, and dividends are implicitly assumed to go back into the port

S&P/gold reflects gold speculation, so I don't take too much out of that. S&P/oil is more disturbing, because despite the complaints about oil speculators, the fact is that the current oil run-up has a lot more to do with geology an

This is true, but would actually compel the stock/gold ratio to become more favorable to stocks (except for the fact that the stock supply is also increasing).

One note that I'll add: if we want to make "religion" palatable to hackers, there is a way in: reincarnation research. The reason I say this is that, as I mentioned in another post, hackers like to experience things directly, understand the

How does quantum mechanics "blow the possibility of a god existing completely out of the water"? This is why I believe in God: based on some unusual personal experiences that made it difficult to reject the supernatural, I came to the concl

I agree. I've had some serious, work-affecting problems with caffeine addiction. After a while, it stops keeping you awake and simply becomes something you must have in order to survive. It's fine for occasional stretches, but it's a really

$100k/year isn't really "rich", and most people in this category are going to be middle-class, so this doesn't really establish much about how "the rich" spend their time. Also, the amount of time that someone spends in "compulsory" activit

Advice for the guys: Do a very light, low-intensity workout before you meet women. I'm talking about a light, 20-minute jog to break just a minimal sweat. On 80+ sunny days, a long walk is enough. Don't wash up. You won't smell, because the
