Casual reminder to young people socialism is a darkly misguided ethos and leads to untold death/suffering. Sounds good, doesn't work. Your college professor lives in a bubble of unreality. Some ideas from academia are strange/bad, you figure it out when you grow up.

If you were a gamer and instead of buying a $300 Voodoo 5 graphics card purchased 2,307 shares of NVIDIA ($0.13 per share) when 3DFX was acquired in 2000, this would be around a $375,000 position now. But you wouldn't have been able to play GL quake, which was priceless.

Sorry internet, 250K is plenty of income. You should feel rich on that. If you don't, you're probably just bad with financials (it's ok - just get some help)

Honestly AI image and video stuff gets way too many shares for what is just a very good stock photo/video replacement. It's neat and will get used by pros where appropriate. But it's all kinda boring in the hands of random people? "Here's a 2 minute slop movie" ok great we get it.

It is wild so many people can't even sit through a movie w/o checking their phone. If you can't do that, how can you possibly expect to compose a song, write an essay, code an app? With that, I wonder if these same people were capable of this anyway? So perhaps not much is lost. .

RT @Astro_Ayers: Just. Wow. As we went over Mexico and the U.S. this morning, I caught this sprite. Sprites are TLEs or Transient Luminous….

You can't listen to most personal finance commentary on this website because half the comments are from permabears who think the global financial system is about to grind to a halt or people with 4 figures of BNPL private taxi burrito debt. Just read this book instead, easy

The only way out of this is for everyone to eat better and exercise regularly - the healthcare system does not want to be fixed

People are still commenting on this, wrote on this topic awhile ago if you want thoughts on why you should free yourself from this prison

Sorry if you make 250K and feel poor you are irresponsibly bad with money, have comparison/envy problems, greed, or you're a gambling addict, and there's probably no helping you

Have to admit I hadn't thought much about honey as a vegan, big mistake! Very convincing post.

Cool roll cloud off the coast of Portugal the other day, almost looks like that scene in Interstellar on Miller’s planet

Someone asked me recently what it would take to move back to California, and I didn't have a ready answer, because I don't particularly want to. But for 100M I think you have to do it.
Mark Zuckerberg is offering top research talent pay packages of up to $300 million over four years, with more than $100 million in total compensation for the first year, WIRED has learned. Meta has made at least 10 of these offers to OpenAI staffers.

I like how you can be responsible, save money, have no debt, but no matter what happens and who is elected there's infinite money printing & spending no different than a drunk trust fund kid. Random people manage money better than everyone running the country in both parties.
