I would like to find a really good guide on how, after taking things apart this thoroughly, to systematically organize, track, and reassemble them. I know people do successfully take apart vehicles to the last nut and bolt and restore and

Saying "I love the smell of old books" is not compatible with my basic assumptions about a reader, like that they have been around a lot of old books. Ordinary mold/mildew is not a good smell, triggers allergies, and nobody i

>Any deviation from typical huge fund manager behaviour You make it sound extremely subjective, but Blackrock is (I think) mostly managing index funds, and it should be easy to quantify how well they track an index.

The second largest shareholder of Blackrock, appears to be Blackrock, notice? How do you think it is that Blackrock only owns 6.79% of Blackrock ? When you figure that out, you will have achieved enlightenment and be able to answer your or

If you buy shares in a Blackrock S&P 500 fund, which is the sort of fund that accounts for their huge holdings of most public companies, then I don't think they have the power to dump stocks that are on the official list. That woul

All the criticisms seem basically true, they just don't make any sense. Since their job is mostly to own all of the companies out there, they own most of the evil companies, and therefore they must logically be "The Most Evil

When I read articles about this sort of thing, I wonder if the reporters and readers are aware that when there is a (violent) crime in public, (at least in my area of the US) it is ordinary practice to go around to private businesses with n

Are you talking about SF exclusively? All the anecdotal evidence I have (US, non-SF) suggests being connected or related to the local police is a blue collar signifier. I'm not arguing that it isn't some sort of privilege, but sug

I just skimmed EM's response in the lawsuit. It sounds as though his entire strategy is a "Gish Gallop" of incoherent claims about the mDAUs and a consequent demand for massive discovery that will take forever. I don't s

The article propagates a key element of the EM PR campaign which I think is at odds with reality: "Weeks later, Musk said the deal was "on hold" while he looked into Twitter's claim that spam or bots make up less than 5%

Yes, "all" was an exaggeration. But "racing in the 125cc class" vs. the sort of person who begins on a liter bike sort of amounts to the same kind of dichotomy I was thinking of. People who have a career in one sport, ma
