@PythiaR Hong Kong system very similar

@_The_Prophet__ @Noahpinion Great stuff. A few bits I would add is that the barrier to investment increased quite a bit (environmental regulation, permitting, general red tape, first nations issues etc).

Also productivity/opportunity/wage differential etc has pushed a lot of ambitious Canadians out

@WazzCrypto @zeroxkyle That one says translated from Chinese. 60M RMB is like 10M USD

@buccocapital For point 1 I think it's better to do the job you want to do at a less prestigious shop than to go to a different function in a better shop. Maybe finance specific though.

@newmachines @eigenrobot Why can H200s not be prevented from being smuggled, or Russian oil, but rare earth's can?

@signulll It's not necessarily true. There are long periods of time when the UK and the US held reserve currency status and didn't run trade deficits. They just built a net international investment position (capital flows abroad)

@boutique_banker I did that in reverse

@pugnacious_polk Skipping straight from IQ to luck skips a lot of other aspects. That's like saying anybody with the same physical body as Steph Curry that didn't succeed like him is just unlucky. There's a lot of work to put in to even have the chance to be lucky.

@kaseyklimes Hong Kong has some pretty cool trees

@AmandaAskell Expert networks already exist where you do just that, and charge by the hour. They are common in the investment industry.

@ChaseMit How did you settle on Scream? Would love to get the thought process there

@10kdiver @Sachinrawat1978 @abhishec_s That's assuming you hold to perpetuity or you sell to someone that also has a 15 pct discount in mind. Would look different if you do terminal value at a market based WACC/multiple/whatever. I think people would probably put a high multiple/low discount rate on that roic/growth

@SMB_Attorney Early start and/or taking advantage of nap time have been key for me

[Taylor Connaughton @TSConnaughton]

@BenoitTravers I heard it too

@Nicole_Cliffe Canadian provincial tax rates are dramatically higher than US state income taxes.
