I learned MATLAB and Octave (wtf?) during my master's degree.

So I studied 12,556 Python code repos and taught myself Python.

99.99% of them were a complete waste of time.

But these 9 are worth more than my $90,000 master's degree:

Entire Stanford Options and Probabilities lecture by the infamous author of the “The Black Swan”:

[Movez @0xMovez]

this 1 hour MIT lecture on "option price & probability duality" will teach you more about options trading than a 2 month internship at Wall Street hedge fund

Bookmark & give it 1 hour, no matter what. It'll be the most productive thing you do this weekend.

A 77 year old retired doctor in the south of France received a brochure from his bank last year.

A New York firm called Blackstone was offering him the chance to invest €25,000 into its private debt fund.

He called his son to ask if he had heard of Blackstone.

His son is the co-founder of one of Europe’s largest alternative investment firms.

Richard Nixon's brutal truth on happiness that hits harder in 2026:

"The unhappiest people in the world are those in the watering places—south coast of France, Newport, Palm Springs, Palm Beach—parties every night, golf every afternoon, bridge, too much drinking, too much talking, too little thinking. Retired, no purpose."

He saw it decades ago: Endless leisure without struggle isn't paradise—it's a slow death of meaning.

"What makes life mean something is purpose, a goal, the battle, the struggle—even if you don't win it."

In an age of quiet quitting, early retirement dreams, and infinite scrolling... Nixon reminds us: The fight is what keeps the soul alive.

What keeps you in the "battle" right now—even when it's exhausting?

The Venezuela plot thickens:

While Venezuela holds 303 BILLION barrels of oil reserves, much of this is HEAVY crude oil.

Texas and Louisiana also *happen* to have 6 of the LARGEST HEAVY crude oil refineries in the world.

What does this mean? Let us explain.

Ik ben opgegroeid met gezellige kerststallen, Sinterklaas en zwarte Piet, Pasen (en Paaseieren) en alle christelijke tradities die dit land hebben gevormd. Wat vandaag gebeurt, is ronduit absurd: een kleine, zelfverklaarde progressieve bovenlaag schaft stap voor stap onze eigen cultuur af in naam van een hol begrip van “inclusie”. Minderheidsgroepen vragen nergens om, niemand voelt zich aangevallen door een kerststal. Het zijn enkel diezelfde seculiere culturele ingenieurs die koste wat kost hun ideologische leegte willen opleggen aan de rest. Dat is geen vooruitgang. Dat is een beschavingsafbraak waarvoor niemand democratisch heeft getekend.

Deze column van Pot is uit mijn hart gegrepen.

“Als Ajax niet snel geneest van de aandoening die kennelijk als symptoom heeft dat je het kolossale verschil in kaliber tussen Farioli & Heitinga niet ziet, dan is het kerkhof voor ex-topclubs de bestemming.”

The power that AI data centers need, when added to conventional demand for electricity, could soon exceed the capacity of the U.S. power grid.
