Thanks for the great video on international diversification. I noticed he has another on the related topic of bias toward investing in one’s home country. https://youtu.be/qYedjI03Q0g?si=-wOqSA96cmScFInq

A slight over simplification, for example s&p was negative 1% per year from Jan 2000 to Dec 2009. Plus the cost of your leverage. But the general point that US equity returns have been good and leverage would have increased them stands.

Great points. It depends on how confident you are in the claim that the primary purpose was “artificially boost quarterly profits.” No particular evidence presented in the excerpt.

> For example, Gryta and Mann report that GE would sometimes artificially boost quarterly profits by selling an asset (e.g., a diesel train) to a friendly bank, knowing that it could then buy back the asset at a time of GE’s choosing. So

You did a beautiful job and you should be proud of it. Both the information and the aesthetics are a treat. Can I ask what technology stack you used? For the images, the animations, and the voice over? I’d like to be able to do something li

Generally, if you find a simplification that makes the problem trivial you’re interpreting it wrong and should reconsider.

Great point. Code review gives some commentary on result, but process wise it’s a solitary activity. Perhaps this was some of the benefit of the mostly abandoned practice of pair programming?

I agree coding is a great discipline for both deep work and deliberate practice. I would draw a distinction between the two. Deep work is about achieving the focus and attention to do serious work. Deliberate practice is about the motivatio

I think your point about law breaking is good. Facebook, Uber, AirBnB. Too much law breaking in the name of innovation. I intended to make a narrower more trivial observation that innovation produces winners and losers. Innovation is just c

I like your optimism. The article points out they were previously hit a few privacy issues. There was an FTC order in 2012 which the FTC claimed Facebook violated with in months. So they got a 2019 order encouraging them to follow the 2012

Probably too simplistic. Innovation serves some and “disrupts” others. Uber might be a handy ride for you. A NYC cabbie who is in debt for his medallion might see it the opposite.

Can you tell us a little about the models and software packages of credit risk? Is it trying to take a huge dataset of consumer features and join it to a dataset of loan outcomes and then predict loan outcomes?
