I don't actually hate Musk. Although he has done bad, I think he has done far more good than bad. He has, for one, directly improved my quality of life on the transportation front.…

You can synthetic short if you have options level 4

Rule changes like this create market inefficiencies that can be exploited by retail; if everything plays by constant rules, the vast majority of alpha gets concentrated in the inst…

On the other hand, reducing supplementation solved my sleep issues. I was taking Magnesium at night, and D+C+Fish+CoQ10+Iron+B12 in the morning. I don't know what the hell I was ta…

You won't be able to see a doctor when you're sick. You won't be able to open a bank account to receive your salary. You won't be able to buy train or plane tickets. My point is I …

Probably in the future nobody will be able to figure out how these things are written, because studying math doesn't make as much money as vibe coding.

I see your concern. The mirrors could be deliberately manufactured to have enough imperfections, or slight reverse curvature, to prevent this. It's possible with properly-designed …

... and then there are the actual planet-threatening astronomical events that humanity should think about ways to mitigate but I'm worried that human lifespans and capitalism preve…

I don't think 50000 60-ft mirrors at the height they intend to fly would cause that to happen. Not enough light gathering power. 50000 60-ft mirrors is about the same area as a sin…

Nope, because I don't get to keep much of the money that I get from my work.

Exactly. My point is the price of everything has gone up, and the authentic "original" brands are no longer affordable. The knockoffs are still affordable, and with them I'm doing …

I have work to do. I'd probably get PIP if I did that every day.

Reality: A few years ago this would have been relevant. Most people can only afford the knockoffs now. My Chipotle meal cost $17 yesterday. It used to cost $8. The $9 difference is…

For most businesses, yes. If you're the national railway and your ticket purchase website doesn't work for 2% of the population, that's kind of shitty to those people. This is sadl…

> No dual citizenship at all, most probably no citizenship. Citizenship is basically impossible unless you are born to Chinese parents, but work visas in China are lightyears easie…

Awesome project! Lots of negativity in the comments but I think this is an awesome way to interact with an LLM. A lot of people seem to be hating on that it was an evil diary in th…

It's not hard to restructure it at all. 1. Ban overworking. Make it a federal offense. Actually jail CEOs if their employees work >50 hours a week 2. These exercise tracking apps s…

> Well, then any insurance is also gambling It literally is. You're buying a YES token on a black swan event that pays you if that event happens. The entire American system is buil…

> there are plenty of over-the-counter everyday goods Yep, that's how you've been sucked into the system. Oh, you didn't spend as much as you planned? We'll steal the rest of the b…

The non-gambling way of doing this would be to just tax deduct all of that stuff at tax time based on what you ACTUALLY spend. Being forced to plan it and "lose it if you don't spe…

> We can (and should) try and regulate away this kind of gambling No, instead we should tackle the actual root of the problem, and fix the economy. If everyone can make a living, a…

I'm not conflating anything here. Nobody should be asked to make bets on their medical needs. They should just be allowed to tax deduct everything when the need arises. You ARE alm…
