I use a Zebra 402 0.7mm

Compared to kids these days, I used to write a lot in high school and college and the only memorable pen in terms of comfort, color and thickness that stood out was the Zebra. I write much less now and mostly use it for quick notes and back of envelope schematics.

My #2 choice would be a Parker Jotter ballpoint, which is quite similar in form and weight.

> It's absolutely logical that people WILL spend less if they know the money will be worth more next year.

That's not the problem. The problem is that it causes currency to become an investment vehicle.

If the expectation is that the currency will be worth 5% more next year than this year then everyone with an investment with <5% returns will sell it and hold currency instead.

Then you get two big problems.

First, it screws up your economy, because people can hoard currency instead of investing in economically productive activity. Which means higher interest rates, which makes it harder to start a business.

Second, it causes high volatility in currency prices, because most of the currency is held by speculators. We have seen this with Bitcoin already. This is a problem for people using the currency as a medium of exchange because you can lose your entire margin and then some if the value of the currency can change by a double digit percentage in the short time that you're holding it. And this is what causes the deflationary spiral on the upswing -- which is really an investment bubble that causes yet more problems when it pops.

> World history regarding the price of gold.

Gold hasn't really ever been primarily a currency. It has always had several competitors as a medium of exchange (silver, jewels, wheat, pelts, barter), fractional-reserve banking has existed for hundreds of years, and it has a built-in hedge because the more expensive it becomes anywhere the more incentive there is to mine more of it or import it from other countries. As a result its price has almost always been determined more by its value as a commodity than its use as a currency.

If it was otherwise then the price stability against other commodities is not what we would see. Imagine there was only one ounce of gold in the world but only two tailors used it to alternate buying suits from each other. If you want to allow there to be another two tailors doing the same thing somewhere else then either you need another ounce of gold for them to use (increase the money supply) or the price of a suit has to come down so each pair of tailors only needs half an ounce of gold (deflation).

How is this not another Trashcan Mac Pro? It is a beautiful, expensive device at launch but has no capability of being upgraded, expanded or experimented with.

Is it not just philosophically incorrect for the pro market?

And compared to the enthusiasm for their iOS here, the pro customer is clearly no longer of value to Apple.

This is one of many privatization initiatives this administration is going to take.

The focus initially will be to find government run agencies that can be profitable in the private sector. Think in terms of toll roads/bridges for infrastructure, air traffic control and student loans to name a few.
Whether or not if privatization is the right answer is debateable but it is probably going to happen in one form or another.

The question is: Who will benefit by owning these companies?
Look to the privatization of the USSR as a worst possible outcome. Large former government run industries given to private ownership that instantly created a strong oligarchy class.

> Then we go into fat. People think fat makes them fat. The truth is, ingested fat can not be turned into bodyfat directly. It is way easier for the body to turn carbs into fat than it is to turn fat into fat.

VC isn't necessarily designed to have returns that are better than the public markets, only to have returns that are different from the public markets. If you have billions of dollars to invest, you want to diversify. So the core part of the message that VC is broken because most of them don't beat the public markets doesn't really matter.

> One-two years for scouting and finding 10 A-round startups, four-five years for growth. Add some non-stop pressure on the founders to sell all the way around.

Holy moly. How well would this have worked for Google to sell to Yahoo or Facebook to sell to Google? You are throwing out the baby with the bathwater here.

If a company blows up, the vast majority of the returns are coming after 4-5 years. I mean, look at GOOG, and only returns since it went public (~6 years after founding). Google's stock is up 1700%, the public markets are only up ~150%. You want them to sell those returns to somebody else? And obviously this post-IPO gain is just a multiplier on the returns from Series A --> IPO which is just astronomical returns you'd be not getting.

> Invest in more startups/less cash in each.

Just doesn't make sense. For many VCs the limiting factor is their ability to spend their time and effort trying to help their portfolio companies. Good VCs don't just give money, they give guidance, advice, strategy, etc. You can do this with 2-3 companies, not so much with 20-30.

> political opponents

Framing bigots as "political opponents" has some efficacy as a tactic too, given people's allergy to politics. It's sad that this has, especially recently, become equated to politics. "How should we organize government", or "are certain functions better handled by government" are reasonable questions of politics. "Should we treat some people as less than other people" is not a question of politics, it's a question of humanity, that should be orthogonal to politics. It's possible to be toxic anywhere on the political spectrum, and it's possible to be decent anywhere on the political spectrum.

Up to 128GB ECC, up to 18 cores, large NVMe SSDs with up to 3GB/s speeds (likely reads, but probably also writes), and it's in that beautiful grey / black. Really cool. The 8-core model at 5k seems reasonable to me since the monitor is likely 2k itself.

The math in the article seems to be based on the assumption that the money committed for the fund is payed by the LP up-front. My understanding is that that's typically not the case -- instead, the LPs commit to some dollar amount, but only actually write checks when the VC round makes an investment.

I haven't done the numbers to see how this changes the outcomes in the article, but it seems like it probably has a pretty big impact, considering how much the article focuses on the liquidity aspects. I wonder what the contribution graph tends to look like over the lifetime of a typical fund.

More immoral to silence bigotry than to be a bigot? I find that hard to accept. At the legal level, sure, no one should be prosecuted for being a dick. But that isn't what we're discussing here, we're talking about setting the tone of a community of people, in a way that maximizes both everyone's enjoyment and the amount of stuff they can get done. Tolerating bigotry fatally undermines both of those. As for the bad apples, certainly vilifying an individual for their opinions is way more likely to make them double down in righteous indignation, and ideally there'd be a more compassionate way to engage people like that in conversation, but at the very least we can prevent them spreading their ideas in fora we control.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good meme as much as the next millenial. But there are memes and there are memes. You seem to be implying that "beep beep lettuce" and Pepe wearing a Nazi uniform are equivalent to one another. And yes, by the definition of "dark comedy" we're using here, it is lazy. Everyone knows where the boundaries of generally accepted good taste are. There's no skill or wit involved in breaching them. You mention Dave Chappelle elsewhere in this thread; if you look at him, or Mel Brooks, or other 'great' dark comedians, all of the shock there is in the service of making some larger point about society. And sure it doesn't always work, but by your own argument there's not even a semblance of that kind of intent in 'dark meme comedy'. If all a joke is trying to do is give its audience a fleeting thrill of transgression, that's a pretty low form of humor.

> At the end of the day losing weight is about changing the amount of calories a person consumes vs. what they use.

Over an extended period, yes, this bears out because the law of thermodynamics. But the question is - can people adhere to a calorie-restricted diet long enough to see meaningful results? More importantly, will they simultaneously be able to build muscle and maintain normal bodily functions (thyroids tend to stop functioning normally during extended calorie restriction, especially when fat intake is low)?

You will have a much easier time achieving a healthy body composition and feeling satisfied while eating a high fat low carb diet, than you would eating the same amount of calories on a low fat high carb diet.

I say that the "calories in, calories out" approach to dieting is problematic because it's simply not as effective as switching to a HFLC diet. It makes building muscle tissue difficult, it encourages miserable dieting tactics, and taken to the extreme (which many people do) is a threat to a person's health.
