This question is dead from the beginning. Exercise is good for the heart, the muscles, metabolism. You do need muscle contractions above certain level of intensity and duration for this to happen.

It’s Colombia, not Columbia

I drink 270g of pure sugar during a hard 3h bike ride. While allowing me to complete the hard work, it also helps with not feeling empty afterwards and eating uncontrollably. As long as I don’t gain weight It’s all good.

“ If Madoff got lucky and his portfolio doubled in a year, then he too would have been able to make customers whole.”

Maddoff didn’t have any portfolio since the late 80’s. So no trading, all fake records. Redemptions of principal and made up profits were paid with other customer funds.

This article reads like Jane Street’s PR work.

It does. Try riding a bike above FTP at altitude for as long as you can. Then describe how your heart feels for the reminder of that day.

This is true, but incomplete. Such unsophisticated investor has to control his frequency of trading, and also the frequency of trading of his etf or mutual fund. Any fund needs to do trading, re balancing, etc. So there's a double layer where ppl get charged 'the vig'.

For many of the reasons expressed here, specially the 'business culture' and 'hustling factor', China is the country that reminds me most of United States.

As an excercise for the reader, would be interesting to test the performance of a buy and hold strategy of stocks a.) Going below IPO price, b.) Going below 50% IPO price. A second filter that can be applied is the time span between first day of trading of such event.

Indoor climbing/bouldering is a nice alternative for ppl who find lifting boring. Despite mostly engaging upper body, it really gives you a good workout with the added problem solving challenge, balance and flexibility training.

Maybe this is the beginning of "Twitch Trading". If ppl like seeing other ppl playing video games, trading stocks/futures could find an audience. The question is what would be the incentive for a competent trader/algo to let ppl see it's trades.

Some tricks I've tried: --> Start the fast in the early evening before a long day of flight travel. Seems easier and convenient to avoid bad airport/flight food. --> Don't do it as a regular scheduled event. --> Eat according to your physical activity. Some days where Im just working in the computer I don't eat much. --> Do frequent random 10pm - 2pm next day fasts.

this is very interesting, wondering the principle applies to societal organization and current reversal trends on globalization (mono-culture) and weakening of international 'controlling' organizations.

In the US, one initiative that should help tremendously is increasing the limit to all tax advantaged retirement contributions, and future periodic adjustments to inflation.

mmm perhaps lack of clarity on my comment. I was referring to the size of the maximum contribution. $14000 for 529 vs 5500 for ROTH and there's an income limit for ROTH. ~190k

For households without kids it wouldn't be egregious to have the ability to make 529 size contributions to Roth-IRA.

Peter Coyote narration of his main book is pretty good. I credit it with getting me into audiobooks.

It's apt to point out that Mr. Singer intends to profit on the long side. How many souls find themselves in the same predicament. Fearmongers will benefit from reading Triumph of Optimists by Dimson, Marsh and Staunton. https://www.amazon.com/Triumph-Optimists-Global-Investment-R...

Interesting that the author mostly reads self help books.

The salient difference is the free use of supercharger for Model S.

Perhaps more relevant to me than the product itself, is the business model, the concept of running your own show, optimizing processes to maximize income and minimizing time spent working.

The key here is signaling. The interns showed that either they don't understand the game or that the have an 'union' like attitude towards employment. Either way not atractive for an employer.
