Agree with this. Natural gas is effectively free there. Maybe it’s the fiber connectivity that prevents them from being built? I genuinely don’t know.

New Gen data centers are closed loop and don’t use water at nearly the same rate as previous generations

1. Cheap natural resource 2. Fiber connectivity 3. Low population density 4. Favorable regulatory environment Depending on how far north you mean, you lose all or all but one of the above.

I agree with this. Especially as you gain experience and your work becomes less day to day grunt work and more high level strategic thinking, having constraints on time actually has been beneficial for me. Taking work problems into other sp

I like it. Great points made. I would only add that if increasing general family cohesion is one of your goals, I think having lots of kids accomplishes that. Having a large family and multiple automatic life long best friends brings me so

Is this not the direct result of consumers being too lazy to price match and price discover? Amazon still has the ability to sort price: low to high. You also still have the ability to ask your friends and family what air fryer they purchas

Highly highly recommend. I use it at least once a week and have done so for several years. My daughter loves scrolling through all the local birds and playing the sounds they make.

Hot take (with recency bias): Ron Chernow Homer and Virgil were historians at the end of the day. Whether what they reported as happening was true or not is as irrelevant as whether Alexander Hamilton threw away his shot at Aaron Burr or no

I don’t look down upon people based on what they think is cool and I don’t think you should either.

Yep, agree.

You’re speaking with authority but have no sources. What can you point me to that says working for longer than a month at 72 hrs/wk is unsustainable? Sure everything you say can happen. But also you can feel invigorated and it can be e

Hard work is invigorating? Especially when working on something cool?

There’s something so beautiful and heavy about the how frank and pithy the opening line of Anna Karenina is: “All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”

Yep, agree. I was mostly focused on the cause, but supply chain disruption certainly seems to have exacerbated the collapse. I think the supply chain was probably disrupted mostly because as the empires contracted inwards, there may have be

I don’t think we’re disagreeing. I am saying the prime mover was probably climate change and you’re saying the disruption of supply chains exacerbated the collapse. Both can be true. I was focused on the cause. To follow the red herring abo

I'm very curious what part of the article you're drawing on to suggest that their reliance on copper and tin was the cause of the collapse. The article that I read seemed to suggest it was climate related. I have no idea where you

Agree with you on most angles but with a twist: the suburbanite should be seen not as the adult shopping, but as the children that the suburbanite is most likely shopping for. I’m certainly not going to be picky about the Greek yogurt when

I’m not sure you have to be that rich to pay the $300 per year membership to buy food at loss leading prices. The bulk sizing of everything at Costco is overblown anyways. I wish it was bigger

Can someone more up to speed explain to me why with Virginia’s proximity to one of the largest natural gas reservoirs in the world in West Virginia, they don’t just build new power plants to keep up with electricity demand?

the film in the article says: "a 100 W light bulb turned on every night for a year takes equivalent energy output from burning half a ton of coal" I get that this film is probably dated, but there are so many things wrong with thi

Economy != software companies. Maybe there needs to be a capital rotation out of tech? That’s speaking beyond my expertise though (and imo is a little too doomer). Continuing the hypothetical through: Healthcare, industrials, financial serv

Which enrich existing shareholders who can use that capital to invest in other economically expanding projects.

This is the right question. Every company has a list of >WACC IRR projects that it can spend saved money on. If not, it’s a cash cow company that wasn’t growing in the first place and will allow shareholders to use the saved cash for oth
