Multiple sources think that the real range is an ICBM level. And the Indian government purposely limits it's range. No strategic reason to communicate a larger range than needed an…

No even for buy and hold investors. The best investors get only 55% of the bets right. Only a little better than a coin toss. The only reason the performance for them is better tha…

You are right that position sizing is important but for the opposite reason. Knowing your winners and then full on concentrating in them is statistically a big part of what makes s…

Yeah even if we consider USD a unit, most units are appended after the number. It is weird. Never thought of it this way. Huh!

Not at all. If Murmansk's importance causes Finland to be strategic then what about Crimea? Turkey blocks Russia's warm water sea access. Much more important for Turkey to be in NA…

Aluminum smelters do this all the time btw. Also there is economic harm in shutting down mining I.e loss of mining fees.

You just described commerce as scalping. A grocer is a scalper according to you. So is a meat distributor.

People going after people for unpopular opinions is a society problem. Did that happen in the US or Europe before Twitter? It did not. I see this touted a lot. But supporting troll…

I was in the “libertarian” camp on this. But now looking at all the damage caused (including killings in India on false social media rumors) I certainly think “mainstreaming of soc…

OP seems to be himself an Israeli and presumably a Jew. I did not read his post as being anti-Jewish or anti-religion in anyway.

Citation please? That sounds unlikely!

I could literally not use any indentation and the machine would still understand me. Not sure how they matter for machines? They do matter for humans though. The reason we write co…

How about all whitespace should be represented by one character to reduce ambiguity. I shouldn't have to figure out if 'l' is 'ell' or 'eye'. Same way I should not have see visuall…

In India lots of buildings leave rebar open on the top floor/roof because they expect the government to allow them to add a floor in the future. The government often obliges.

They don't. Whatsapp degrades image/video quality massively. Just a choice they made given that a lot of their customers are bandwidth constrained. If I have to send a photo that I…

Yes because the analogy doesn’t make sense. Can you explain how the two things are equivalent?

That changed as of yesterday. :)

Interesting. In my very limited understanding I have a very opposite view, specifically around Justice Thomas. If you read pdonis’s reply to your parent, you will see that Thomas w…

Please don’t justify corruption in poor countries. It is not a way of life. And the adverse effects of this are very long term in nature.

I don’t understand the problem with globalization? Are you advocating for each country to make their own iPhones? Their own chips?

The good part is that they are.

Having talked to a competitor of Pipe they do take on the risk of the customer not renewing. So it is indeed not debt. Probably.

While usually people use percentages in the wrong way, in this case they used and compared them the appropriate way. Percentage here is used as a ratio of total output and a declin…

I don’t know this. I have chatted with plenty of Uber drivers who are part timers who don’t know this or think this way about them as well.

What about them?
