@four_eyed_girl @likaluca H&CF is best depiction of tech ever—and massively underrated.

@JSEllenberg My grandfather, an economist, bet my day trading mom and grandmother during the dot com boom that he could beat both of them with index funds and bonds. He won handily. No one reading newspapers and Yahoo Finance has arbitrage position—so active trading is just an expensive hobby

@bronwenelly @Sweetburlingame Salaries are only slightly higher, adjusted for inflation. There are just a lot more professors, even more PhDs, and waaay to heavy a use of adjuncts.

@JSEllenberg I never was into it until Maia got a Switch—and I got an Australian subsidiary. Breath of the Wild got me hooked on the entire open world RPG genre. I can’t ever imagine going toe-to-toe with kids’ fast thumbs, but most of these admit a more leisurely, forgiving style of play.

@mike_sell My daughter had a prof like that when she did PSEO at Minnesota. She went to several office hours to tell him what a jerk he was. Got an A—but no idea wether he changed his practice.
