I woke up yesterday without an alarm at 5:40am and was like, damn I overslept.
The wealthy disproportionately have their money invested in equities. The ultra wealthy are also typically highly concentrated in specific companies, think Jeff Bezos and Amazon. They tend to lose more when the market…
Malaria and other diseases are one of the main reasons Europeans kept their African ambitions relatively contained. What is the geopolitical implication of eliminating malaria?
I mean, it's kind of ridiculous to just make blanket statements like that. This is a hedge fund that has a long history of good performance. The whole point of a ponzi scheme is that you have to keep getting more money…
Nuclear weapons are a good example of IP theft though. Russia stole plans from the US for nuclear weapons to get ahead. The US literally executed people for their role in it.
My english teacher in high school said that some guy from Apple came to talk to them and said that soon AI would be able to write stories. That was 15 years ago and as far as I can tell, they cant use bots to write…
This has been known for some time...
Upon graduation, these free tuition doctors will be taking jobs in a competitive market. Some doctors they compete against will have debt, some won't. But it really isn't like the amount they charge for services will…
It runs awful on my work computer, but fine on home computer.
I was a relatively early adopter to Facebook, though not Harvard- or Ivy League-early. It didn't have a hot-or-not style rating at that time. Poking was a feature, but I'm not sure it was ever that popular.
My girlfriend thought it was for a Federal constitutional convention...
Bookmarked!
Honestly, I'm having all kinds of problems. I've had to force quit a bunch of times. Some sites are 100% fine, but others cause CPU to 100% and doesn't come down. Feedly was the first I noticed, but it happened again on…
Feedly performs like garbage with the new Firefox. 100% of CPU when clicking on the feed and doesn't go down.
GDP is a measure of value-added. That's why they net out things like net trade.
"The economic output of an entire nation can be useful for such comparisons when you're attempting to relate to very large financial figures." I repeat: It's comparing a stock and a flow. You cannot compare a stock and…
You're confusing a stock and a flow. GDP is a measure of value-added per period. That's a flow. The value of a company is a stock. More comparable to the wealth of a country than its GDP.
Sounds interesting. I'm a long-time RSS user and never made the jump to twitter. My gripe with twitter is that it seems like there is too much noise and too little signal. I suppose at this point my RSS has a lot of…
There's a difference between pro-business and pro-market. There's nothing inconsistent with believing in free markets/rule of law and at the same time believing that a tax system should be fair. Scandinavian countries…
It's called overfitting.
One cause (some say a or the major cause) of the agricultural revolution was a desire to make alcohol more efficiently. Can we count all the people who are alive because the agricultural revolution on the side of…
The subtitle is "Should they be considered an “epidemic”" and it says in the article "We don’t often call alcohol or tobacco “epidemics,” even as we regularly use that same language for opioids that are linked to a…
We tried banning alcohol once already...
The whole thing doesn't even make sense. We used to have a monopoly that cost a whole bunch of money. If Elon Musk can do it for less, then he's breaking up the original monopoly.
You're under the mistaken impression that people in the U.S. care about what is happening in other countries. At most like 10% care in anything more than a cursory way.
