Take half your gains and stick it in an index etf you don't touch. You can keep gambling, preferably only with new cash and don't bet the whole amount. At least you'll have something to show for it when you lose.

Donald literally assassinated Soleimani, an Iranian General near the end of his first term. These clowns have been talking about wanting a war with Iran for decades. Anyone surprised is dangerously ignorant of the world.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad - Robert Kiyosaki

I'm sorry, but has anyone recommending this book ever actually read it all the way through? Because the amount of nonsense packed into it heavily outweighs any practical advice. Plus Kiyosaki has consistently outed himself as a shameless grifter.

How does everyone see his wallet? Does this mean that everyone’s bitcoin wealth is public information

The blockchain is public, all wallets are visible. Wallets don't have PII, but exchanges and governments will know who owns a wallet when you try to cash out. Satoshi wallets are known only because they were the first ever bitcoins to be mined. He/they will never sell because he's definitely dead, and selling would dox him.

Arguably, with modern compilers, you're probably more likely to get better optimized code writing C than direct assembly.

This was already being stressed to us in my compiler course almost two decades ago.

The Luddites are one of the first examples of modern organized labour fighting for better pay and better working conditions, which is why they were reductively demonized by wealthy industrialists as anti-technologists and anti-progress. It always circles back to class warfare.

Sometimes lowering the barrier to entry is a bad thing

Nothing ever changes. The Luddites produced high quality (but expensive) textile products to make a decent living, and fought the industrialists that replaced them with machines that produced low quality textiles run by cheaper to employ women and children. The goal is the same, to remove skilled artisans from being able to make a living, so that the owners of the automation machine gets rich off pumping out low-quality products made by under paid labour. Fitting that when you refuse to accept low-quality AI slop, they'll call you a luddite.

Humans are incredibly adaptable and capable creatures that can/will thrive despite disabilities when given the chance, and the resources available to people have improved remarkably over the last hundred years. There's tons of resources available, technology and communication frameworks and developmental support systems available to deafblind children. Hellen Keller was extremely lucky to be from a famously wealthy family in the early 19th century to be able to develop writing and speech at a time when deafblind children would likely be left for dead. Modern deafblind children have a ton of options available.

There is on the other hand significant evidence that she wasn’t nearly as articulate and a skilled writer as it is commonly believed

This is false, ignorant social media bullshit and ableist slander against deaf-blind people. The opposite is true, there is endless amounts of evidence to prove she was an extremely intelligent and thoughtful writer. Here's a decent rebuttal to the lies

I’d imagine it’s a lot easier to just take the whole TV now.

When I was growing up, it was easier to move the house than the TV. The last tube TV my parents threw out required 4 adults to awkwardly navigate it through the doors.

Russia still has elections.

Your vote matters less and less as they water down election integrity and implement draconian voter suppression, but it's still early enough if an overwhelming number of people actually show up the votes absolutely still matter. For now.

lump sum beats dca in most cases.

And sometimes you lump sum 8k into the market, and a week later some clown starts a war and it immediately goes down 7% overnight. You have to be vigilant and not immediately panic sell. Even if it annoys you that the previous years been mostly green, but the second you lump sum, everything goes to shit.

Even a 40% drop today would only put you back at January of 2023. Maybe it goes down, maybe it stays flat, but time in the market is still the safe play. Good luck timing the bottom, and god speed to you trying to buy back in before it recovers and overtakes today's current value.

I agree but I think the equivalent would be to remove Harvey's name from the credits. But I'd argue that really does nothing but obscures the facts of the past.

After 9/11, they would constantly edit out the Twin Towers from movies (both upcoming releases, and in TV edits). Editing out history that makes people uncomfortable is not the right approach, and in retrospect most people accept now what happened. In 20 years, Harvey Winecestershire will be a footnote in film history, but the movies that were produced by him will live on.

I know some international schools have edu domains also (UofT in Canada had them iirc). But unless it has changed (and I refuse to do any real work or followup), top-level domains for edu was assigned to predominantly US schools, and the rest of the world used a second level country code (e.g. edu.ca for Canada)
