It’s not massive. It’s extremely tiny. It’s just that the system is very delicate and we are even tinier, so the effects from our perspective are large. (Think getting hit with a little 1/100000000th of earth mass meteor. The earth

Interesting and surprising comments. Anyone ever heard of AOL? Are they dead? I think Google will likely go through similar path as Microsoft; such a tech powerhouse and cash cow for so long, innovation became eclipsed by profit optimizati

Much much happier working remote in a small town. That satisfaction would likely drop with the salary arbitrage dropping. If I could afford privacy in Palo Alto, I’m sure I could be just as happy there.

It's of course a huge improvement. It was close and I'd probably have been happy with either but ultimately the telluride had features i cared about (better towing) and palisade had some i didn't (electified third row seats)

I just bought a 23 Kia Telluride (was also looking at palisades) to upgrade my 05 outback; I did extensive research, and ended up zoning in on Hyundai-Kia specifically because their electronics are so 'hackable,' while still conta

I’ve never worked at a huge org. I assume though that there is a hypocrisy between what you are asked to do (trivial small things) and what is rewarded (big bold changes).

How do you know if you’re the one calling disruptive ideas “hype?” Because statistically, you probably are. We all are.

I can do voice calls over WiFi, but SMS does not seem to ever go over Wi-Fi. Because I am rural and connection is so valuable, I carry two phones, one on Verizon, one on ATT+TMobile. Both are iPhones, but one of them is about 4 years old.

It is very easy to get wealthy (assuming access to western markets and not being party to systemic racism) if you are willing or able to do even one or two things better than most people. I am working on my second “fortune.” I liked readin

i'm a cto persuing a cfa because i have an interest in business. i think its completely absurd that you would think a CFA would be irrelevant to business.

Others have said CFA. CFA is the obvious paved path to what you are looking for. A few grand to add some letters to your name, and it will forever alter the way you think about business. But probably just ask someone who you think knows

No the 6th and 7th would have no effect at all. The 2nd and third likely would though.

It means you can have 10mm in guarantees. Your debt to income has to continue to conform as the mortgages stack up. But, if you can use a lease against the house as proof of income that could offset the mortgage. That’s basically the secre
