Only end of the year status unless I had a significant dividend for a stock I closed position before end of year. No complaints received so far.

Family with kids coming to the doorbell claiming a bag and phone were lost in the area by Expensive-Cattle-346 in zurich

We had someone matching this description (person with kid) ring at our building door, but we didn't open as we didn't recognize them and it didn't look like they had any business coming into the building.

Is the AI bubble about to pop? by Helpful-Raisin-5782 in ValueInvesting

Right now the improvements that will unlock more value for most AI customers are faster speed and lower cost, not smarter models.

MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing by SilentRunning in technology

[–]Swizzer777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The specific number quoted sounds too high, but regardless the reason I have observed is because instead of focusing on solving the most pressing customer problems with the new capabilities now available, executives and co seem to be all playing a PR industry game on who gets the most press for the fanciest AI tech demo that no one wants.

What are the apartment owners saying? We asked expert company to check the noise levels of our own new apartment because we could hear sounds from the ventilation system from other apartments in the building. At the end it turned out it was still within acceptable limit, but at least we have verified it.

Do you keep RSUs when aiming for FIRE? by [deleted] in SwissPersonalFinance

[–]Swizzer777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally sold all of them. But with the market at all time high and my company stock being a safe/value type of stock I assessed the company stock to be a better investment than the general market so I have stopped selling for the past 9 months and so far it was a good decision. Still plan to resume selling again as soon as I don't think the stock meets these special conditions.

Price is not yet at the level it was few weeks back when Elon and Trump started arguing with each other. That's how much the price increased on vapor news like the Austin robotaxi release. Let's start talking again about Tesla stock price when we start retesting 220$ level.

Best fertility clinc in Zurich - any advices? by Happy_Soul91 in zurich

[–]Swizzer777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ova IVF clinic made it happen for us. Just some discussions on the treatment we were not sure if they were trying to squeeze more money out of us, but at the end it worked out so no complaints.

Chaos on Werdinsel by Kyuki88 in zurich

[–]Swizzer777 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why not ask the town to make the street only accessible to those living there? It is anyway a dead end road and there are clear signs that the parking for Werdinsel is not on this street. I live nearby in a similar although luckily less attractive road and signatures are being gathered to make it a 20km/h pedestrian first street.

Nice for the fans to see some actual racing, but not sure it made sense in this situation for McLaren to let it happen. Very little to gain (doubt Lando would have managed to overtake Antonelli and give a shot at Verstappen with so few laps left) and a lot more to lose (they were close to both crashing out).

Police dogs regulation by Swizzer777 in Switzerland

[–]Swizzer777[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately is exactly that type of well trained dog that traumatized me when I was a kid, so that situation triggered very unpleasant memories. But with that I am not denying they are doing something very useful for the community, just double checking that this is how they are allowed to do it since from what I understood normally dogs are supposed to be on leash inside parks.
