It is a solved problem, Assimil or Michel Thomas (in person) have been making people conversational within a week of dedicated study. Plenty of language learners have reached C2 in 6+ languages including me. But it's not fun and certai

Thank you for sharing this! I currently have 4 more interviews which need a little editing before "publishing"; I condense phrasing, rearrange questions or explanations etc. to try to improve the reading flow.

Thanks for sharing, it's very WiP right now. I have a few more sections written but need to format them (e.g. hiccup HTML and SQL via a lisp DSL as well as some terminal graphics stuff, working on web stuff next). Overall, the goal

The indices may be inflated but in this environment, treasury bonds guarantee losses (because of explicit inflationary policy. Just look at the real rate of return.) Besides, a 60/40 allocation has not made sense since the early 80s. M

It's just inversion, like 2 to the power of 2 or 2 to the power of negative 2. These negative words inverse it just the same. You may dislike it, but millions of people have spoken this way for a long time. > x literally means multi

In English, x or time(s) after a number marks a "unit" used by various verbs. A 10x increase. Increase by 10x. Go up 10x. Some of these verbs are negative like decrease or save. "Save 10x" is the same as "divide by
