I have read it. - He isn't a stock trader, he is a bond trader. The kind of bets you need to make to be succesful are different. - "how lucky he got by chance" - He doesn't say this. He talks about how we can even better

Yep, you also wouldn't give the same computer/software advice to your grandma as you would a peer at work. Buffet is telling us to leave trading to the pros, but he absolutely trades.

Every scientific endeavor is about predicting the future. Imagine your 3 closest friends wanted you to invest in your business. Could you predict which of them would likely do better than the others?

That doesn't drive people to pay 3x. What does it is the fear that prices will never come down or that this is a normal.

The price system is how our society allocates resources. The fact that people are allocating their own resources to buy one -- without any perverse incentives or being compelled, indicates it's not wasteful to them. A better example of

Having worked in the areas you are describing, it's still duct tape and rubber bands, they just are better prepared for redundancy and error recovery.

Except it's in the body, so they already clicked on the article and made their money. What's left is continuing the trope that Elon is insensitive and stupid.

This is only true if: 1. There aren't other processes that need to share the system. 2. There are no spikes in memory usage. Neither are true. The less memory each component uses the more you can run at once and it will likely be faste

Almost every top stack overflow answer is wrong. The correct one is usually at rank 3. The system promotes answers which the public believes to be correct (easy to read, resembles material they are familiar with, follows fads, etc). Pay att

This shouldn't be controversial. Finding a job is a sales problem and most people are not good at or trained in sales. Besides shear numbers, they only look in obvious places. The worst case is people only applying to listings on big s
