I agree that the diagnosis and visual inspection is the most important skill in fixing random items. In the channels that I suggested, all of them go into the repair not knowing wh…

I believe Youtube videos are a great resource for learning this! I picked up electronics and computer/gpu repair as a hobby over the pandemic lockdowns. A cheap multimeter and a ch…

I understand that they needed to put the money to work somewhere, but they really chose a bad way to do it. Hence the 'poorly controlled risk' that I mentioned.

Most other banks found ways to survive the environment in 2021. So clearly there are ways to do it without locking money up for 10 years in MBS.

I feel like the 10 year MBS investment might actually have been a case of excess risk. In a world of zero interest rates (which I presume is when they invested in the MBS), 1.5%-2%…

Do you really think the owners and senior management of SVB ended up with nothing? What about the stock sales they made right before the FDIC took over, or the bonuses given out, o…

I would love some kind of game where spoilers on the internet don't affect the feeling of discovery within the game. It seems too easy to just look up game secrets on the internet …

My 6 year old son played with SimplyPiano for several months this year, and I tried it out a bit as well. For me, SimplyPiano brings the excitement of being able to play popular mu…

This video is from July of 2020, and at this time I don't doubt that they have a semi-truck chassis with a fuel cell drivetrain in it. However, whether this truck performs even clo…

I agree that it should be fraud, but I'm not sure how the SEC defines fraud. To me, the whole NKLA situation feels like a giant Kickstarter scam.

I feel like Nikola is an example of why it might be bad for retail investors to have access to early stage companies (pre-IPO or not). A traditional venture capital investment has …

Statewide rent control in California wasn't enacted until January 1, 2020 (with a retroactive period of several months I believe). So, if you rented before Jan 1, and your rental u…

I agree with all of your points. However, the 'company' having $8 million in the bank does not mean that the 'founder' has or will ever have $1 million. The expectation of funding …

I would disagree, and I believe that others would as well. A 'millionaire' in my mind is someone with liquid assets of at least one million dollars. The company isn't worth more th…

There are Lego 'blind bags' for mini figurines, which do not let you see the content of the bag before opening it. The bag contains one mini figure from a predefined set, and some …

When auditioning, would the applicant know which pieces of music they will be required to perform beforehand? I am assuming that they do, which would make it very different from 'w…

> but it is already a success. wake up. Your statement depends on what people define as 'success'. Is Uber a product people love? Yes. So, by a product measure it's a success. Is i…

I think the problem is that most of Reddit's current 'content' isn't monetizable to the degree that they need it to be. In its current form, Reddit is mostly an aggregator of other…

I get what you're saying; that the VC industry should "just do it" rather than make a splash by announcing a program. However, if someone is in one of these minority groups, and ha…
