I dunno, didn't he also say there was an imminent water crisis and that index funds were a bubble? Who knows, dude very well may be right in the long term but I don't think they panned out as investments. Ultimately, he may very w

It's weird to me that media outlets like the NYT will criticize apps like Robinhood or Duolingo for being addictive then turn around and happily take advertising money from BetMGM or FanDuel... 1. https://www.nytimes.com&#x2

SQLite also has some weird (non-standard?) behavior when aggregating. If you forget to include a GROUP BY, SQLite will just pick a random value from the non-aggregate columns. For example: SELECT col1, COUNT(1) FROM table1; happily returns

For one, "better than average" is hard to measure / subject to lots of confounding factors, so people (rightfully) find those claims hard to believe. For another Autopilot often fails in different ways than human drivers, so
