I had Shewchuk back some 15 years ago. Most memorable of all the faculty that included a couple Nobel laureates. Guy is pure genius

a bit of good news. corporations are now competing with homebuyers for homes, some 25% of homes are bought by blackrock and other outfits, bidding against you and me

everyone is an asset picking genius in a bull market. Buffet is an old school investor wary of the froth in the market.

Good luck with that! Seriously it's none of their business.

Yeah, but the article is worth checking out

As others pointed out, your life changes. Your priorities rearrange. Given that, no regrets for me. My kids give me joy my hobbies could never match. It's work but it's worth it and love being a father and raising my kids.

Call me overcautious but personally will be happy to get a vaccine once one goes through processes like described here https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/basics/test-approve.html

Russell Brand on YouTube published two days ago. "Published on Mar 28, 2021 Silicon Valley representatives – such as former Google CEO Eric Schmidt - are frequent speakers at Davos, pushing the benefits of big tech. But will a world increasingly dominated by technology really be beneficial to everyone?"

For a virus with a natural 99.7% recovery rate? Yeah, would be tempted to agree

The internet has definitely gotten a lot more political if you're seeking to engage. In general feels like everything has. Work, family, friends, relationships.

It used to not be unusual to have good relationships among people with different political opinions, today, not so sure.
