How did they do it back in the day? Was basically everything from the tooling etc. just created inhouse from scratch?

I think the "nothing I can do will change anything" is actually a predominant theme that's emerged over the past decade. I don't know if you've watched any of Adam Curtis' document…

Does this exclude Australia?

This comment is completely ignorant of at least the past 80+ years of Middle East history.

When I was a lot younger I built a very big and complex platform with Phoenix. Although it was a technical marvel, it's one of my big regrets as far as the tech stack I went with, …

The technical term for what you're broadly describing is Jevons Paradox.

Which debrid service do you use?

Not to justify this, but is this possibly the reason why those opportunities existed?

It depends if you forsee potentially having to sell before retirement. Or if it may just happen out of your own circumstances. Hedging is all about diversification at the end of th…

You also can't predict when you might need to sell you stake, so that's ultimately the value of hedging. If you're forced to sell in 5-10 years, then hedging would be valuable.

Hard question to answer without understanding your circumstances. Ultimately the point of hedging is to diversify. So the degree you should hedge is relative to the degree with whi…

I could be misunderstanding this, but you know that you can buy ETFs that are currency hedged? Taking Vanguard for example, VGS is global equities, but VGAD is global equities that…

Why do the two have to be mutually exclusive though? Why can't something healthy also not also happen to benefit corporations/lobby groups?

Isn't every single policy a result of some kind of lobby group? Are you saying that it's corrupt because it's been influenced by a lobby group? Would all policies then be corrupt t…

That's not happening though, hence why we need more ram.

Just because it's about surveillance doesn't mean it's a bad thing? The fact that you need a driver's licence to drive a car, or a document to identify yourself to open a bank acco…
