The author of this was like the number two guy in the most powerful navy in the history of the world. Genuine experts are usually right, which is not the same as being always right. Especially true when it comes to changing circumstances.
I give this guy credit for admitting his mistake.

Okay, but what if he’d bought 40,000 books and spent the difference on some nicer shelves?
Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries: “It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use

Love this.
Every Christmas Eve, I think about George Bailey. He dreamed of escaping Bedford Falls—of shaking off the dust of a small town, building skyscrapers, exploring the world. Instead, he stayed. He ran the Building & Loan his father left behind. He sacrificed his college money, his

Received this report from the field: “Everyone at Target is just guys. Just guys throwing random stuff into baskets. I just saw a bunch of confused looking fellows in the women’s makeup section.”

Take a minute and listen to this exchange. Memento Mori.
This exchange between Senator Sasse and then-Judge Gorsuch during Gorsuch's confirmation hearings is deeply moving, and one that has stuck with me since I watched it in 2017. Devastating, heartbreaking news -- praying for the Sasses.

Heartbreaking. The ability to face down the end like this is genuinely a gift from God.

Phoenix is always on the forefront of what’s happening next. Autonomous cars have been a fixture here for years. We’ll have air taxis before many cities ever see a Robotaxi or Waymo.

New York could bring close to 40,000 new units online effectively at once by letting their owners recoup their costs and a modest profit.
One of the perils of rent control: Ghost Apartments 👻 New York City has roughly 50,000 vacant apartments. About a quarter are simply waiting to be rented. The rest are effectively off the market because legal rents do not cover operating costs or required renovations. The unit

Rent control makes housing MORE expensive and harder to find.
"We find that rent control is associated with a 10.4 % reduction in the total number of units in a city."
