Somehow, Elon delivers on damn near all his major promises (with delays and whatnot, but stil)

But, it is totally fine if you personally prefer to have a quiet family life and spend as much time as you can with your children. If that is what your heart tells you is meaningful - set your life up that way.

It’s a personal decision always. Neither is right or wrong. People are different. It’s ok to find something meaningful that others don’t value the same way.

I agree with this... but I got a technical degree and a liberal arts degree when I was an undergrad.

If you are investing in college you need to have a skill that makes you employable once you complete it.

But, there is more to life than making money and learning to have control over yourself and your thoughts, and learning that other people see things differently than you do, pays dividends in both your personal and professional life.

The other person loves talking about themselves or their opinions. You are learning by paying attention enough ask more questions.

If you are negotiating silence can be your friend when the other party is feeling good talking about themselves

I find it’s people who have more than enough that say that generally.

I think the takeaway is don’t look for your value in the way others see you. You will never be good enough.

“If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. It’s the truth. Worship your body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly. And when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally grieve you.”

But seriously, I would imagine the storage costs aren’t that terrible relative to the costs it would save in lawsuits for the police departments ?

However, I wonder how much of it is survivorship bias? Like the polymaths are generally forgotten because they suck at a lot of things. Every once in a while you get a genius interested in many things... that’s then exceptional and they are capable of learning many things?

I think there always has to be a filter applied with what is possible and what is probable in a individuals life when thinking about making choices for your daily life.

Any physicist bored and want to do a “explain it like I’m five?”

That said - super cool story.

Take advantage of it while you can.

I don’t think that means the VC model is dead, just means they have to look around the fringes for things the big guys aren’t doing for the next five plus years

This was linked further down... a student owns 99% of a $31mm property. A Chinese business person owns the other 1%. That sounds like trying to get around KYC / AML requirements and obfuscating things to me...

“Land title documents list Tian Yu Zhou as having a 99-per-cent interest in the five-bedroom, eight-bathroom, 14,600 square-foot mansion on a 1.7-acre lot at 4833 Belmont Ave.

Zhou’s occupation is listed as a “student.” The other owner of the property, which boasts sweeping views of the North Shore mountains and Vancouver, is listed as Cuie Feng, a “businesswoman.””

“All of a sudden, a money launderer shows up, and offers the owner 10% over ask for a “quick close.” You’re not too worried, your agent told you the place a few doors down is going to be on the market next week.

Unfortunately, the new place now uses the home owned by the money launder as a comp. Now the ask is 10% more than you were expecting, because the marginal buyer set the price down the street. Someone else bites, and buys it before it “goes too high.” Now the money launderer’s buy was just validated in the system.”

The cab driver is constantly playing bird in the hand is worth two in the bush - do I take less per minute with this customer but take a long time, or take the customer quickly, get paid more, but then also have the risk I won’t pick anyone up for long enough that I am worse off?

I think most people go for bird in hand is the issue.

Experience is teaching yourself - everyone thinks that you need someone to teach you something. That’s not right - other people giving you thinks to do is the opportunity to teach yourself the best way to do something. Look at it that way and you are going to progress very quickly.
