Notes

I can’t help but wonder how different this weekend might have been, or might not have been, if the Facebook Insurrection mob had gotten to Pence on Jan 6.

It’s about time I caught up to the cool kids, so I have launched my first Gemini capsule.

Survivorship bias leads us to over-value taking risks.

We admire the entrepreneur who moves fast and breaks things, because the few we know are successful. Nevermind those who broke their own business, and don’t have a Wikipedia page.

IFF you believe Google is right that “advertising is essential to keeping the web open for everyone” AND don’t believe the site I’m currently visiting expresses my interest enough, then their FLoC proposal looks promising. But those are some pretty big assumptions.

There are thresholds of ignorance and violence that are dangerous, and advocating beyond them means you ought to be silenced.

We need to keep talking about whether “cancel culture” sets them too low, but if you deny they exist you have crossed the ignorance threshold.

A lot of “thought leaders” are finally getting educated about how financial markets work. If GME had happened a year ago, I think Warren would have won the Democratic primary.
