the market can remain irrational far longer than you can remain solvent.

the world is full of bubbles right now but the wisest move is to hoard cash while the trumpets are playing and buy everything after the dust settles. like warren buffet isnt trying to time the crash, its long overdue.

some areas do fine without income taxes. plenty of other types of taxes.

ok but why not gold or silver then? also obviously without currency controls all modern countries would have drastically smaller economies.

wouldn’t a security/investment require a fundamental book value?

its crazy that i have several apple airports around and havent needed a reset or update in at least 6 years. always ready for airplay2, a stabdard which didnt exist when they were obsoleted. meanwhile my ring and eero fail weekly.

apple doesnt make billions spying. facebook and amazon do of course too.

i’m not sure you understand the purpose/point of the entire scifi genre

it kind of is, but its instinctual. you suddenly see your own childhood reflected from a new parental perspective, and you suddenly understand countless things you never did. you see yourself as part of a chain of parent/child stretching back a billion years… you see unspeakable purpose in protecting and nurturing and loving and raising this floppy lump of screaming snot into a future lovable thing. they look like you, with the most innocent eyes, and they can not quite hold up their own head.

elementary school food fight, with full physics.

in sand, weighing 2000 pounds more matters. so does grappler tires.

maybe one day every chimney will be a solar powered mesh NAS

not sure what you mean by ‘come together’… for users there would a ‘front end’ user interface, either a website or an application that includes access control and forms and fields, etc. on the ‘back end’ there would be an application server somewhere that connects to the database and lets certain users view/edit certain things as scripted.

people will die

Maybe they should compare playing chess with playing Go.

The number of legal board positions in Go has been calculated to be approximately 2.1×10^170, which is far greater than the number of atoms in the observable universe, which is estimated to be on the order of 10^80.

they should have run the commercial in reverse.

the kind of personality it takes to get to that level of wealth has no concept of enough wealth. money is how the untalented keep score.
