  1. This is good. Can we go back to the 2008 villains and charge and prosecute them??

  2. Pretty good, I like your style and subjects, and after watching a few of your stories, subscribed. When topics are balanced across other channels' I'm pretty satisfied with your consistency, accuracy, and truthfulness. I always enjoy different perspectives of the same or similar subject, so please, continue. After digesting your very good content a while, I'll patreon as usual - good, authentic, and objective content can be difficult to find and trust. Thank you.

  3. Not sure I see the issue of profiting from other people’s stupidity.

  5. And the potential of persons who have a tendency to call any interaction ‘harassment’ thereby ruining someone’s life with false claims. I wonder if there has been an uptick of online harassment claims by the same said people.

  7. Shoot, that’s a good point.

  8. I jumped on the bandwagon 2-3 years ago and bought a unit, a midrange Creality for around $300. About a month later, I had to quickly move across country. It’s still safely tucked in its box; I haven’t even untaped it to open the box and peek inside. But at the time, I HAD to have this device.

  11. The greater fool theory - I used this when buying, then selling our 26’ sailboat! Fortunately for middle class us, we were talking only $thousands, and we sold it ten years later for maybe a little more than what we paid for it, when we found a greater fool. Sigh, 20 years later, I miss that boat, so maybe someday soon I’ll be someone else’s greater fool.

  12. Regarding the sky high valuations, is there any similarity between how much a sports team is worth vs. some tech company that seemed crazily overvalued, like say, WeWork?

  13. There you go. The evtol companies will need to be radical progressive darlings; no bad press.

  16. Same. This article proves Apple is a good negotiator, but I'm not seeing the monopolistic connection (if I'm missing something, PLEASE interject and enlighten me). As long as Apple provides me assurances my iPhone-related (and Mac & iPad) activities are encrypted and secure, AND provides a superior service/product at a competitive price, and heir assurances are indeed validated, I'll remain an applelyte. But if they even hint at being untrustworthy, I'll stop using their products immediately, even if I have to forego the convenience of a celly.

  17. It IS of course true solid state 'disk' magnetic disk aren't suitable for ultra long term archives in a powered off mode, but they're not engineered to do that. Magnetic tape, WORM optical (dvds) are better, but would still need to be rewritten to new media during the lifetime (centuries? Forever?) of the data. My guess is the reason we haven't engineered permanent forever storage is because there isn't a point or a market as of yet. Refreshing the data from today's technology to tomorrow's seems sufficient enough for now. Besides, not every cat video needs to be archived. Today's dataset could probably be reduced to less than 25% by filtering out the garbage and redundancy, making the data refresh to new media practical enough - more effort should go into this filtering process to at least move it to tape, if not simply discarding it. Think of the savings on the electric bill!!! In the meantime, keep your pens and chisels cuz so far paper and rocks have the best long term track record!

  18. Yup. And yup. I still preferred wfh, but I hated my job, had a major re-reckoning and reevaluation of my life and goals, took time off, and am starting to look for something I love rather than solely a paycheck.

  19. I’m almost positive his parents are proud, as it’s highly probable they don’t refer to his actions as fraudulent. After all, their boy was propelling himself, and by extension, them, into the rarified world of the elite. These radical progressives view things such as the law, the Constitution, ethics, and so on, as trivial inconveniences that certainly do not apply to them.

  20. It would be rude if we bought it. It’d be better to just take, take, take. Why do we want it? Really? Why wouldn’t we?

  23.  @wallstreetmillennial  Good point. Great question, tho! I was wondering the exact same thing, and appreciate the explanation.

  24. Does that make it any less interesting or cautionary? I'm not sure what point you're making, but please explain. Also, do three token executives falling on a sword, so to speak, mean that the corruption and responsibility started and stopped with them?

  25. While Google was busy showing the almost-gone administration their container of snake oil, the big guy looked like a caveman who saw fire for the first time.

  26. How was this alluring? A celebrity endorsement has to be the most untrustworthy type of endorsement, with the lowest probability of integrity and potential. Entertainers are not smart people. They’re trained monkeys; we toss peanuts at them and say, “Dance, monkey!” That society chooses to shower them with fame and money is not a reflection of their intellect. It just shows we need a smarter public with better priorities.

  29. Yeah, well, if they kept each sale under $900, wouldn’t newsum’s f-ed up laws let them free? I mean, just cuz they live in a San Diego mansion and grifted $8million, they technically made $0 of taxable income. So, they’re just your average, every day victim, trying to get by.

  31. Deranged?? Train wreck?? If you're gonna be beholden to advertisers like Disney and IBM, then your content will reflect that. I certainly don't want that.

  32. 14:30 sure, lawyers advise their clients not to speak with the media, but in fairness, it’s not like that high school girl on the school newspaper is the real media.

  33. Funny, on my Apple and PC devices, first thing I do is make DDG my default SE, and make sure all Google 'viruses' are, and stay off, my network. There's no way I'd ever trust Google w my banking info, documents, cloud drives, or search. Great for me, but I really wanted to trust Apple but now not so sure. I think I'll stick w 'traditional' electronic banking with my bank (so I have to insert a card instead of waving my iPhone - so primitive and Luddite) and distribute my info across multiple cloud drives, encrypted, with my passkeys stored on my network and safe deposit box. Somehow I still get emails related to my Safari history, or very fast 'intelligent' search results (on DuckDuckGo). Somebody, somewhere, is still watching me. And I do not appreciate it. And no, I've nothing to hide, but that's not the point. The point is I have nothing I want to share.

  36. This is absolutely pie in the sky, and the only thing dumber than believing the concept is feasible are the people investing their money into it. Wish I thought of it!

  37. League of what?? He’s complaining of a lack of a video game while incarcerated? Can we contract with Russian prisons and send these sniveling, spoiled brats to them? You know, the cold ones, that everyone know exists but which no one may speak of?

  38. Response to a comment - Same. This article proves Apple is a good negotiator, but I'm not seeing the monopolistic connection (if I'm missing something, PLEASE interject and enlighten me). As long as Apple provides me assurances my iPhone-related (and Mac & iPad) activities are encrypted and secure, AND provides a superior service/product at a competitive price, and heir assurances are indeed validated, I'll remain an applelyte. But if they even hint at being untrustworthy, I'll stop using their products immediately, even if I have to forego the convenience of a celly. Google may as well be dead to me as a consumer, I just hope I never need to rely upon them as a small business. They've a racket going there, I would definitely seek alternatives. Hopefully, when the time comes, there ARE alternatives.

  40. I’ve been in IT for around 25 years and have gotten thoroughly burnt out using this Linux OS here, this Android here, this off brand tablet here, and thinking it was so fun trying to get everything to work…never seamlessly. Now I just want my shit to work and for all my devices to work together. I bought a few used iPads, a used Mac, and an iPhone I keep for years. The amount of time and lack of aggravation and compatibility with the entire world makes a $thousand iPhone cheap. Not even mentioning my not being paranoid (as much) of my data security. But that’s just me. Doesn’t mean I can be complacent or stupid with obvious security basics like passwords, phishing, not using only reputable apps, staying off questionable sites, etc, but I still have higher confidence of not seeing my identity elsewhere. And sure, I know - security and convenience can be had doing it my old way, but I’m just not interested in doing so anymore.

  41. I have NO idea what any of this means, so.... Why is it a bad idea? What is this crystal method you speak of? And - it seems to (ignorant) me using DNA implies using an organic material from a living being, keeping it viable (ie, 'alive'), and keeping it in some fluid solution for as long as it's useful. Am I even close on any of these assumptions? It just seems like something out of "Fantastic Voyage."

  46. I'm beginning to think WSM has a preteen type crush on Cathie Wood ! :). U know, pulling her pig tails cuz he really wants to get to 1st base, behind the school maintenance shed, by the 'Woods.' Sorry, lame. It is really entertaining to see inherited or otherwise OPM money thrown at bad, and CW's latest foibles and bombs. She must have at least some rate of return for her clients - or maybe she just counts as a DEI fund FOR those clients, whether she makes them money or not.

  47. Response to another OP's responder, about how she manages to keep collecting fees: ​​⁠That's exactly what I guessed - she's everyone's token DEI fund. What I find telling (about DEI) is what a poster child she (and ARK) is for the concept of equity vs merit.

  54. If I could guarantee a particular model number from, say, Amazon, is the same on Temu but for a much lower price, then maybe. Otherwise, seems too gimmicky for me. I’m also not gonna type my credit card number into a site I won’t trust.

  55. Many comments have pointed out a desire to convert office to residential. WSM, could you do a presentation on this? Affordable housing is getting difficult to find, as in, for example, the Phoenix area, but would it even be tenable to convert properties in office parks zoned for commercial purposes into housing? It seems like it should be common sense to repurpose empty buildings, but bureaucracies and regulators don’t appear to operate that way.

  59. Reputable (and respectable) scholars are an extinct species, thanks to academia having been taken over by radical progressives and they’re fascist ideology. At least from the point of view of conservative and liberal moderates…

  63. Why can’t O’Leary look the Senator in the eye while answering the question as to why ftx failed? His body language suggests to me he’s working too hard to try and keep his answer consistent.
