Just to be clear here, you have internally discredited the group that says "its racist to depict black people as animals in a zoo"?

It sounds like you believe people can behave more in line with the Rational Human used to model older economic theories. I'm not so sure confirmation, affinity, or proximity biases…

But they were genetically related to him. I don't think this is a good example.

It rarely seems to have the effect of promoting healthy and respectful discourse. Instead it appears to always inflame.

One example from your own experience is not generalizable.

This does not hold water. Did the left occupy the Capitol building in 2016 or 2000, when they won the popular votes but lost the presidency?

It's kind of a MJF signature word - I heard this in his voice. He says it in several of his roles, IIRC.

Of course, you miss out on real estate for a number of years while you do this. Time in market and leverage are important.

If time and date are unpredictable, what's the use? Suppose you switch to conservative investments now -- say, bonds. You're going to be hit less hard by the recession, but you als…

Worth noting that the FB acquisition of WhatsApp was a massive unicorn success for the WA team. While the point doesn't hold, the "breaking" of it is the best case outcome for the …

Sure, but you aren't getting 5x leverage in an index fund.

What does your pre-code design process look like? Might beef that up; its what has helped me quite a bit.

Is your argument that a CSV file of everyone's data should be publicly accessible? Because that's not what I understand the fee to cover; it covers extra personnel to field and rev…

Is that a lot, or a little, when compared to the cost of providing the service? Without context, this number is meaningless.

The problem is that many problems are so because of their scale. For instance, you have billions of harmful bacteria in your body, but are (presumably) not afflicted because they c…

What are the differences between good and bad CEOs? From my vantage, companies sure seem to be awful at identifying these before hiring someone...

I agree with some of your underlying sentiment, but this is a textbook "no true scotsman" example.

It seems pretty clear he doesn't want FB to be the decision maker. Guessing his reasoning is probably more projection than anything else. But back the "punting" metaphor -- he only…

This article appears to have some fundamental misunderstandings. Their description of the review system is not stack ranking, in which employees are ranked in a hierarchy and the l…

Wouldn't it be expected that companies who are targeted by PE are more likely to go bankrupt, independent of any actions by the PE firm? They say they're targeting poorly run compa…

You basically load the cartridge in by hand every time. If you leave some space between the powder and projectile, you risk the gun blowing up.

San Diego and the Lockheed contract team determined where to put cameras based on where they thought the maximum revenue stream was, instead of danger to others. One light -- at an…
