What do you suggest using this freedom for?

The same people who want minimalism here in the comments are angry at Microsoft for removing half the features in any control panel inside Windows with every release. Shows how dif…

However natural ice cream can be, it's still a buttload of fats and sugars. Fine in moderation but could be bad. Still, I highly doubt ice cream alone is the reason for high obesit…

From everything I read it seems that they're only up on the Anthropic stock and that doesn't account for newer clients who invested later.

$169 million is not too big for an endowment, especially considering how much they had been raising AND spending in the years prior. Long-term it'd be best for Wikipedia if it was …

So change the job if you don't want it.

If a union would force companies to keep positions that no longer require a human I wouldn't agree with it anyway.

I understand why factory workers or store clerks might want a union but I'd never understand why tech workers should. I guess except the game developers but the most realistic thre…

Seems it'd be far more reasonable to direct the excess funds into an endowment of sorts instead of spending it on other areas.

What's esoteric is not the format specifically but whether people are knowingly using it. RSS lost when browsers dropped its native support. Would be interesting to see a world whe…

Your replies so far haven't been useful.

Rentech surely exists but you can't become their LP, which allows the median hedge fund to exist, yes. As for the strategy, that's the idea but all of them market themselves on the…

What does this mean exactly?

RSS is the only widespread enough name for this thing. Where you're correct is that it's silly to argue about the name of the format used by approximately three people. I'm not too…

It was specific stocks and then he shorter some others very presciently. He was still up 80% after the collapse, you don't get that in 6 months with S&P 500.

Find out what? These apps are as protected as they could be. Always could be a zero-day or a package vulnerability but that's the same for everyone.

I mean, most of them underperform S&P, at least after fees.

Which is completely right. For my latest several apps I never even looked at the code.

For most people I believe it's a good exchange for the value of a more secure device. But yes, I don't really want to pay Apple $100 a year just to run my apps. So I just have them…

That's what I did after I realized how much I'd pay for managed databases and auth. I now have 3 VPS on Hetzner that run about $14/month in total (the old pricing, thankfully). I m…

Same thoughts here. About four years ago I started building an RSS reader that was supposed to use an algorithm. The problem is, I didn't code in years and wasn't familiar with the…

To be honest, no. In fact, the posts that I thought would be the most interesting don't get much attention. It's something I drafted in a single evening that suddenly gets into top…

If there's any purpose in hedge funds as a structure it's that they provide liquidity for the market. So it's in everyone's best interest to let them do price discovery against eac…

I like how Matt Levine formulated it. His thesis was correct. The problem is, his thesis was measured in years if not decades when his funding was measured in days and hours.

Work-life balance is more about work hours and purpose vs how quickly you're targeting to finish things, at least in my view.
