Nah, I've seen the lives of my friends who have kids. I'm happy for them, but my wife and I don't want that life. Sounds like having kids was the right choice for you, that's great, but don't preach at us. We looked

I'm not sure I understand how Kelly applies to insurance, as by definition the Kelly of any -EV bet is 0. Can you elaborate on how to do a Kelly calculation with a wager of negative expected value? Or what am I missing?

I think they're defining "productivity" as a fraction, i.e you used to be able to do 38 hours of work in exchange for 43 hours of your life. Now it's 38 hours of work while only using 38 hours.

> people with kids win at life That's a pretty insulting statement for those of us who can't have / don't want children. It's not a competition. We've chosen different paths than you. Not worse, just differe

"Want a home theatre with a big subwoofer so you can watch movies at home (one of my favorites). Nope, not unless you want some angry neighbors." How is that buy vs rent? Sounds like just house vs apartment?

Currently getting my Masters in AI. I'll be honest, I can understand the concepts when presented to me, but the mathematical proofs are beyond me. I've learned to be ok with that. There's just not enough time in a 2 year prog

I don't think the fact that your coin-flip martingale strategy didn't work is evidence that "there aren't any betting strategies that can last over the long run".

The internet has made buying a car worse? I'm assuming you have either never bought a car without the research and pricing tools available via the internet, or are looking back with rose-colored glasses.

"A hedge on oil price is a bet on the way it will swing." Well I mean it's implemented that way (buying long-term futures) but it's really just locking in a set price. Oil prices skyrocketing doesn't make them infin

How exactly does that work? I thought the credit card company was the final arbiter of whether the charge was valid or not? If they decide it's not, can a collection agency really enter the fray?

It's the same as if the cop looked through the window and saw a baggie full of weed on the dashboard. Anything which is exposed (sights/sounds/smells) to the outside world isn't considered a search.
