It's all a bit of a mess with the consolidation of multiple businesses. > SpaceX is a pretty important company not just for "the market" but also for many other things (see Russia/…

I'd go with Ogden Nash as the most American "American" poet. He's my horse in the race.

I get it - the enthusiasm - I totally get it. I think I'd sell my soul for an 1980's BMW M3.

Wow! TIL. Totally ignorant is I.

Super piece. Well worth reading. I keep wondering if there's some structural economic fundamental that disperses money the way it does. Is the dispersion purely a consequence of th…

ROFL. If LinkedIn could now establish some adjacency to gambling or prediction markets they might be onto some thing huge :-)

Sam Neill did a super podcast with Marc Maron a few years ago. He came across as a really stand-up bloke - genuine, funny, smart and kind; and every obit I've seen today seems to e…

This is a really cool piece. It's well written and I enjoyed it immensely. Thanks for posting it.

I'm glad it's back. Elm had such a remarkable elegance I was always rooting for it.

Good piece. However "can I pick your brain?" isn't great unless you lay out the boundaries. About what? Be clear. OTOH, > make it easy to say no is the best piece of advice amongst…
