There are definitely places in the US where a car is not necessary. Lived on the east coast my whole life without learning to drive.

I believe DDG uses Bing for their results

It’s odd that it seems like all of these ultra-luxury places are so poorly constructed and run. This tower in NYC now has a required $15k annual spend at the restaurant, among other problems.

I enjoyed Pistol Whip a lot, although I have stopped using my Oculus over time

I have never experienced anything like this living on the east coast (NYC/Boston)

Not that I endorse not taking math, but many of my classmates who work in IB/PE/Consulting never really progressed past calculus, and they do seem to be doing all right for themselves. I think schools should be as rigorous as possible, but STEM isn’t the only path to success.

The Apple Watch has a nice function where it can substitute for TouchID/password entry for things like unlocking your Mac, authorizing changes to settings, unlocking 1Password etc.

Makes using my laptop docked way more enjoyable.

I believe Twitter uses React? Although it’s possible that Twitter successfully served you Twitter-Lite while FB may have mistakenly sent the full version.

I spent a fair amount of money on MTG, but it gave me lots of fond memories. I think I would encourage future children of mine to play it, in the unlikely event it hasn’t become online-only by then.

I think you can just take the Series 65 and be good to go these days

There was an interesting episode of Reply All on this https://gimletmedia.com/shows/reply-all/2ohgza

How big of a deal is T+0 settlement?

What are the switching costs? Seems fairly trivial to move assets between brokerages.

In Boston and New York it still seems to be a renters market

In the past I was so severely depressed I couldn’t attend school for several months, and what I feel now is nothing compared to that. Nonetheless, it’s hard to describe my current mood as anything other than depressed.

I never use cases, I hate how dirt gets in the gap between the phone and the case.

I think they are saying not that it’s a filter for talent, but for people willing to “put in the work” to pass that type of interview, which sounds about right. I feel the same way about some colleges.

I believe they are referring to posting a picture of one's hog

By purchasing stock (not at ipo/sep), you aren’t giving money to companies, you are buying the share from another entity.

They grew DAUs in every region.

DHH said it well on twitter, the constraint to FB's growth is they are running out of people on earth.

Maybe VTSAX?

I moved my cash from Wealthfront to Marcus, I think their rate is 1.05% right now?

Commission Slim pants are quite common in finance.

Yeah, whenever I see a submission with xyz.substack.com I get a little nervous about being upsold or “converted”

My understanding is the rules for B2B are different, hence why Basecamp is allowed.

HWNDU and that air strike in Syria were pretty impressive though.

Which one?

I watch this video all the time

I wish I could have been there at the time, and today was the next best thing. Truly amazing.
