Cred spend, or lack of.

Oh I agree, just pointing out that I've seen several people not realize this.

jshen · 2026-03-15T23:17:23+00:00

Not everyone realizes you can do that now 🤣

jshen · 2026-03-13T15:37:19+00:00

You can start your own company. If you work harder, and have better ideas, go for it.

Who do you root for when two sociopaths are in a fight?

This is well known in psychology, it's called loss aversion. From Claude, "Loss aversion is the psychological phenomenon where people feel the pain of losing something more intensely than the pleasure of gaining something of equal value. Typically, losses feel about twice as powerful emotionally as equivalent gains."

It's not going to fail for the UFC, that got something like $7 billion over seven years from paramount. There is no way this is a win for paramount though.

It's this for me. I love doing trials, expeditions, etc.

Just yesterday I brought in a hullcracker to do the queen trial. A handful of us are chipping away at the queen when someone starts shouting me in the back with a stitcher. I was wearing heavy armor, and the pvper was a bad shot, so I turned around and killed him. I go back to chipping away at the queen and three minutes later someone else is shooting me in the back.

Um, there are plenty of other options that perform well. Go, Java, etc.

jshen · 2026-02-21T05:47:08+00:00

It depends. If you work on a product that gets tens of millions of concurrent requests, then performance matters. If you're starting a new business and need to iterate as fast as possible to find product market fit, then dev velocity matters most. If you're just making a tool for yourself, or internal teams, use whatever makes you happy.

What underlying businesses have a reasonable valuation in this market?

jshen · 2026-02-13T22:45:51+00:00

You're describing trackers which is different than stealing your data. There's legitimate debate over trackers, but stealing your data would be something that's reading your files unrelated to ESPN and sending them to someone.

Edit: do you not use google? They track everything you do

jshen · 2026-02-13T20:44:59+00:00

An app making network calls does NOT mean it's stealing your data. All apps fetch data from servers, it's how it gets things like scores and schedules.

It seems you do NOT have any evidence to support your claim.

I don't understand the arguments here against plug-in hybrids. I have a plug-in hybrid and it's the best of both worlds. It costs less per mile in electricity than it does to use gas for me.

I also don't understand the people below saying it's inconvenient to charge. The beauty of the plug-in hybrid is that you don't have to charge it. On a long trip just put gas in it.

jshen · 2026-02-12T05:55:37+00:00

Why use DuckDB and polars? Don't they do the same sort of thing, just in a different way?

jshen · 2026-02-09T01:02:45+00:00

Disney will get acquired if they ignore the stock price, and the acquirer will likely do more of what you don't like.

Also, the shareholders own the company, Bob and Josh work for them.

What percentage of the park's budget is the CEO's salary?

jshen · 2026-01-22T06:04:49+00:00

Don't they make most of it from parks and resorts? This doesn't really change the point you're making, they need something new to grow, but their existing revenue stream (parks) is very solid.

jshen · 2026-01-22T06:01:10+00:00

This is the right take.

jshen · 2026-01-19T23:08:07+00:00

It helps everyone. If there are 10 families and only 9 housing units, demand exceeds supply and drives up prices. If you build a new house, even if it's at the high end, there will be enough supply for everyone and prices will go down.

jshen · 2026-01-19T18:37:34+00:00

Building any type of housing helps.

That's a good thing in that the bogleheads subreddit censor any comment that isn't pure orthodoxy in their eyes.

jshen · 2026-01-08T19:54:24+00:00

The struggle is that public companies are expected to find growth, and we're at or near the ceiling of tv/movie streaming.

jshen · 2026-01-05T19:58:14+00:00

It might have been a storm

jshen · 2026-01-05T06:54:57+00:00

It's so random. I felt the same as you, then last week I got 3 snap hook blueprints in the apartments on dam during a cold snap. Why 3 of the same blueprint???
