I noticed he has another on the related topic of bias toward investing in one’s home country.

But the general point that US equity returns have been good and leverage would have increased them stands.

For some reason, Americans are “told” to get 4x leveraged to the real estate market but to pay for their equities with 100% cash.

We had a similar thing in Pakistan. In fact, same font.

thedrake’s victorious final comment “ SOLVED!!!!!! I spent several hours looking for an axe or a hatchet or an Ubåt…” is dead.

Possibly because of a heuristic aimed at killing spam posts with too many links.

So fraud?

Can I ask what technology stack you used? For the images, the animations, and the voice over?

I’d like to be able to do something like this.

I’m not aware of an explicit ordering. But the other seven steps complement and deepen the meditation.

> As for upper bounds, de Bruijn showed back in 1950 that {\Lambda \leq 1/2}. The only progress since then has been the work of Ki, Kim and Lee in 2009, who improved this slightly to {\Lambda < 1/2}. The primary proposed aim of this Polymath project is to obtain further explicit improvements to the upper bound of {\Lambda}. Of course, if we could lower the upper bound all the way to zero, this would solve the Riemann hypothesis, but I do not view this as a realistic outcome of this project

To your point, there was some excitement and progress in the beginning, but it remains an unusual approach to mathematics.

Can I Google this? Sorry no.

ChapGPT? Pretend it’s not available.

Use a library? No no no.

Ask for help? Thanks for coming in.

Code review gives some commentary on result, but process wise it’s a solitary activity.

Perhaps this was some of the benefit of the mostly abandoned practice of pair programming?

I would draw a distinction between the two. Deep work is about achieving the focus and attention to do serious work. Deliberate practice is about the motivation and effort to focus on improving your skill set.

You probably know this from Cal Newport’s excellent book, but for others. Two great but distinct mental tools to add to your kit.

I intended to make a narrower more trivial observation that innovation produces winners and losers. Innovation is just competition.

The article points out they were previously hit a few privacy issues. There was an FTC order in 2012 which the FTC claimed Facebook violated with in months. So they got a 2019 order encouraging them to follow the 2012 order. Now this order encourages them to follow the 2019 and 2012 orders.

My personal view is these enforcements would be more effective if they hit the management of the corporations rather than the shareholders.

Innovation serves some and “disrupts” others.

Uber might be a handy ride for you. A NYC cabbie who is in debt for his medallion might see it the opposite.

> Startup M&A bounced back: The number of venture-backed companies that were acquired or merged with another company increased by 20% in Q1 compared to Q4 2022, with 57% of those M&A deals valued at $10 million or less.
