Just BTC -- 1000000% gain
comment
I've faced that: Hour-long morning standups that went from pairs of people to other pairs of people to talk about things they should have spoken about earlier. So I just called it out before the …

Thank you. I stand corrected. And yet... you have to admit it’s intriguing...

I made a “play on words” to convey the notion of discarding data in the insistence on coming to a conclusion rather than simply holding ambiguity. No decision needs to be made. We don’t know if it’s a…

What is that called? Occam's Blindfold? We don't know it's a rock. We don't really know what it is, other than it's the first thing we've picked up from an interstell…

This is an interesting paper and Oumuamua will remain fascinating for a long time. Maybe the answer to the Fermi Paradox (or 'Where the hell are they?') is that they're around and doing…

Fantastic. Thanks for posting this.

The author of the paper, Suzana Herculano-Houzel, made a nice video that talks about it as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1tEnm53zDs …

Notepad++ has NppCalc which has similar functionality. Nice work!

Peace and love for you all in 2023. Merry Christmas.

That's a good question. I would say architectures and data structures, generally. We tend to get into the weeds as programmers, but 9/10ths of it is the above. If you approach the problem …

Are you pointing out my conviction or just signaling the lack of yours?

It's really not -- at least not in the finer things, which is what we're talking about. Yes, you can enjoy pistachio ice cream; feel free. But the Louvre doesn't choose what it puts on…

I think you missed my point by taking the example too literally. I'm saying that being well-educated (in a classical sense -- deeply knowing Latin, Greek, Philosophy, Mythology, etc) used to be …

The famous French author Guy de Maupassant hated the Eiffel Tower so much that he ate lunch exclusively in the restaurant there because "it was the place in Paris where you couldn't see the …

I love that this is down-voted, and in doing so validated.
comment
That's a fine, valid rationalization. But I would disagree with one aspect: part of it is that they like it . We don't have fine taste anymore and we don't have a desire to impress in…

I think it's a really interesting question, but more towards: Will people stop having real relationships? The 2013 Spike Jonze film "Her" explores this a bit. Relationships are tough b…

The current S&P500 10-year P/E Ratio is 29.3 So many people desperate to help me sell my position! Wow. Thanks.
comment
I think it will be a case study in late-empire corruption and the failure of propaganda. There's a reason the "buy" (not sell) button was turned off for a day on $GME alone. That'…

Normally it wouldn't hit 100% but this isn't remotely a normal case. Further, each percentage point more DRSed, causes huge problems for these hedge funds who naked shorted.

Why do I need to show profits after six months? Would you say that of AAPL? I'm convinced that the hedge funds didn't close their shorts. Like legions of others, I've directly regist…

That's bizarre logic. I'm a fan of Superstonk (WSB is long over). There's another couple years to go to see the track record. We'll see.
