NYS typically ranks 1-10 in states for education. NYC is a big portion of that ranking. Would not be so quick to call NYC education poor. There are pockets of badness but the overall picture isn't bad. I know plenty of people making 7

Forth uses RPN so the "verb" is last. That is, you provide the data first (I and Forth) and the command (heart) last.

Accounting goes back thousands of years. It was not made as a tool to show off. Lesson is more that tools can be abused for other purposes than intended.

Yes, something seems off. Wonder if "Parking" got lumped into "Garage"? Type of Building. List of values: 1000 = Parking 1001 = Gas Station Canopy 1002 = Storage Tank 1003 = Placeholder (triangle for permitted bldg) 1004

I think you are 100% misunderstanding what they are saying. They are saying almost no one in Texas can walk to a grocery store. Hence, it is a flex if you can. And Europeans don't understand that it is that unusual.

I suspect it is higher than it was 20 years ago and significantly lower than it was 100 years ago.

That isn't "sabotage". Those are export restrictions. China also runs adverse competitive industrial policies (e.g., industrial spying, flooding markets). Not making value judgment here. You have quite the post history BTW.

FWIW, what you will see at times in the HF world is a firm will want to get into a strategy and build competing teams. It lights a fire under both. It diversifies the risk. You can select winner and move some people over from loser. And if

After you wrote this, I went and read the article I also didn't see much there either. And wonder why you are getting down voted. And TBC, also not a tesla fan (the truck is dumb).

Perhaps if an ETF holds similar underlying instruments. It is unlikely this impacts Blackrock more broadly or other unrelated ETFs. Stepping back, the idea with private credit was to move a lot of lending and credit risk taking away from th

I'm a long way from embedded development. But I was under the impression a lot of microcontrollers these days have some ID capability built in, even some relatively low-end ones. This strikes me more as laziness than anything.

“When my brother is fourteen, I’m going to get him a job here. Then, my mother says, we’ll take the baby out of the ‘Sylum for the Half Orphans.” That is quite a quote. Hard to believe that wasn't long ago.

Your numbers make sense from what I've seen in private sector. And meet the common sense threshold as well. Whether the numbers are either wrong or if that is truly what support costs look like at a university would be interesting to k

Prices aren’t the problem. China turning off your transportation is.

What point are you trying to make? I'm honestly not sure. Is it that China is polluting a lot? Or a little? That they are making environmental progress? Or none?

I think you do a good job of high-lighting the underlying problem. Which is not being discussed enough. And that the current situation can go on a long time but not forever.

Growth isn’t necessary for high returns on equity. And it isn’t necessary for the investment to provide a return. Equity returns ultimately come from risk premiums. (Which are small now in US equities BTW). I’m invested in a microcap privat

I worked for a "start-up" in 1994. I was employee number 600. And it had just gone public. The firm eventually had something in the range of 30,000 employees. Anyway, at that point in 1994, the first 30-50 employees all made $$$.
