Turning a builder into a formidable founder, which via the PG quote is someone who seems they will always get what they want is in its self a death. A builder... a truth-seeking creator dies. Devoured by someone who gets what they want, a superego. There should be a black bar at the top.

Shout out to the risk takers.

You say you don't understand these types & that this is a high conflict subject for you. To offer a perspective, I think it has to do with how individuals cope with their existence. In every moment, we could be doing something more worthy of existence; worse, most of our life is sacrificed to working that definitely does not meet such lofty criteria. So take these small, but irrational acts just as minor self-therapy (vs rebellion) that is constructive to the individual -- hopefully it does not do any serious harm (I trust your judgement you made the right call).

I wager this is going to become more and more common as humanity cries against the hyper-specialization and hyper-inferred MEANING on work that may be trivial in scope when juxtaposed that we really only know that ourselves our conscious (or choose your word for whatever illusion we're experiencing). I imagine there exists at least 1 UBER phd gig worker who did not fully take seriously the annotative training work he or she was doing, if you're familiar with that article that made rounds recently.

People also change with age, and perhaps in 20 years you may find yourself doing these same things. Or, maybe now, coping differently in different ways, but that people find equally incomprehensible -- I know I do.

Just mean the above for good, seriously.

Soon any attempt to actually do it would indicate you're a bot.

It's an ingroup joke but also a true warning: "Handwaving" Anyone who delves deeply into something reaches a part where they can't articulate a developing theory and hand-wave around it -- hoping you "get" it.

Always imagined horseless carriages occurred because that's the material they had to work with. I am sure the inventors of these things were as smart and forward thinking than us.

Imagine our use of AI today is limited by the same thing.

In capitalism the profits will flow to the top no matter what happens. This is a handslap. Taxing Wealth and obscene profits, and treating collateralized debt as selling the underlying would be more reasonable. Instead we are tanking the global order we built because we don't want to tax the status quo.

Please get a lawyer. This is a crazy, non-reasonable stipulation "They would presumably own the IP and were clear that I wouldn’t be compensated. But it was implied that they would then remove the hold, allowing me to graduate....unless, that is, I agree to work on a comparable solution for the university focused on solving the underlying problem I was building HuskySwap for."

Enemy scaling system does not make sense. A black hole should have incomprehensionable hp. It broke my immersion; which, was a shame because I was really happy with nailing 3 math problems in row. 2nd does the enemy need to do math?? What the heck! Other than keep up the good work.

Should have started with the last paragraphs first, and used the top paragraphs to support it's argument -- Of course; this approach would not be clickbait.

CTRL+F did not disappoint. Thank you.

In the spirit of the topic, I ran the truth tables you got yourself a valid argument. Feel free to pin this to the top.

Thus begins the spiral coming back to "physical" security vs abstracted tech. Imagine the sales of a new BMW M5... "Yup this baby has it all. Top of the line security. Worried the thieves will see your finger prints on the keypad no worries. Just manually hit the windshield 3x, run the blinkers so many times. Etc etc. And there she goes..."

Really great marks. Almost perfect. Except the key piece "The company should be able to sell its AFS with minimal losses and about $2-3 billion of the portfolio pays down every quarter. The company also has some borrowing capacity. So, right now it looks unlikely the losses on the HTM portfolio will get triggered, it is a risk."

File this under... "thought it was bad, didn't know it was THIS bad." And enjoy the millions of dollars you made :P

Look up the eggshell doctrine. From wikipedia: The rule states that, in a tort case, the unexpected frailty of the injured person is not a valid defense to the seriousness of any injury caused to them.

Is this the fencepost problem but with time :P?

The last paragraph is key and should be emphasized.

You listen to Jocko podcast by any chance?

That's the way these things tend to work out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_F-35_Lightning...

This said, Turkey is being removed from the supply chain. Of course, this comes at about a a half a billion in costs... https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-turkey-security-f35/p...

You tend to get the results from who we sell the missiles too. Ironically, I believe Iran has the most kills for the F-14 / AIM-54 missile, which had a whopping 100nm range. Then, I think Israel has been demonstrating the most combat effectiveness of the the F-35 in attacks in Syria...

Air-combat is "hard" to answer the "does it actually work" because it is very much like high stakes chess in the air. A lot of times you fire 1 missile to make the bogey defensive, and multiple missiles to kill. This gets even more complicated when you factor in differences in pilot skill, numbers, chaff, and electronic counter measures.

IR is only really effective in the short-range (see an aim-9 which is only effective less than 20 nm (really less than that practically speaking). When they talk about this, they mean protection against beyond visual range missiles.

It literally broke the Fed: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/T10Y2Y

If you go to the homepage of the st louis fed and search popular series, this is the first that shows up.

We were hosting a family Christmas party and doing the associated prep work, and I remember really having to force myself to stop reading Snow Fall half way through! Such a great read to such a tragic incident.

Is this really true? At least in the US, I do not think the amount of cash (M0) is accelerating. Unless my reading of this is completely wrong: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/BASE That said the recession really throws this off.

I think he would be more offended on the general idea of risk model. His conclusion: we can't do it. Don't model risk. Set yourself up to benefit from our inability to do it.

They reference Chris Mellon, who is a part of Tom Delonge's To the Stars organization. I am not an expert here but he has this public benefit corporation that always struck me as weird. It's like a charity, but Tom Delonge gets interest and royalties from it. Also: in 2017 they recognized 25M in stock comp expense... Like WTF. That is not possible for a company that is basically worthless.
