Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
-Robert Frost
They do have ways to manually add to browsers, apps and search tools.
If you want to manually set Kagi as a default search engine, use these settings:
• Kagi Search URL https://kagi.com/search?q=%s
• Kagi auto suggestions URL https://kagi.com/api/autosuggest?q=%s
They don’t have an app.
Kagi is quite good at it. It includes citations even, so you can check if you’d like.
You’re not alone.
On a good large screen, 1080p is a noticeable upgrade from 720p.
But the distance you’d have to sit at, to get much out of 2160p over 1080p, is just way too close.
However the High Dynamic Range that comes with 4K formats and releases IS a big difference.
On the other hand, storage is pretty cheep. A couple cents per GB really.
But you’re talking more about bandwidth, which can be expensive.
But yeah. You’re not alone.
I’m stupid. That’s obvious in retrospect. Thank you
What’s TTC?
I tried to look it up and found:
Trying to Concieve with a bunch of Christian advice.
Thinking Theologically Conference which looks like an apologetics workshop.
Neither makes a lot of sense for him to bring back
That was the original idea behind Hulu.
But Netflix had a much better UX and ate their lunch.
That’s what I mean by using different definitions.
I don’t use the terms gamble or investment exclusively as an evaluation or indication of risk; More as a term of intent.
While I might not call a four week t-bill a gamble, I certainly wouldn’t call it an investment at all.
I’d be more inclined to call a savings account an investment; as a savings account can be used for more long term financial planing of one’s future.
Yes. I’d call that an investment in crypto. A risky investment is still an investment.
Maybe we just define the terms invest and gamble differently.
I would say investment is giving your money / time / energy into something with the expectation / belief / hope that eventually in the long run, that thing will become what you want.
Gambling on the other hand, is putting money / time / energy into something with the expectation / belief / hope that it will eminently get you something you want.
Either could be high or low risk. They may not pay money out at all.
You make an investment in teaching your kids to drive, so they will be more independent and capable in the future.
You make a gamble on teaching your kids to drive, that they won’t get them selves into a wreck tomorrow.
Gamble = Short term
Investment = Long term
My challenge didn’t include inflation. Though I did mention it prior to that, so it’s an easy assumption to make.
That’s also just the S&P500, which isn’t even all US stocks, let alone international. But I did previously mention it as the minimum of “broad”. I’ll accept that as well.
So with some asterics, I congratulate you.
“25 years”
Yes. True. Just as not guaranteed as the sun rising tomorrow.
“All traded stocks” isn’t “Any traded stock”.
It’s all of them collectively.
Nikkei from the 1990’s - that’s an entire index that was flat for 30 years.
The 1990’s was only 10 years. And that’s also just Japan, which again isn’t “All Traded Stocks”.
It really kinda does.
At least as close as anything can be guaranteed in this world.
Buying into a broad market index fund (S&P500 or wider) and staying in for decades, will absolutely grow in value faster than inflation.
The key here is time.
Anything can go up or down on a daily, monthly, or even yearly basis; The longer your time horizon is, the more all that volatility gets evened out into a steady gentle climb upward. So much so that if you pick any 25 year period over the last 200 years, you won’t find a single instance where the total value of all traded stocks was worth less at the end than at the start.
Because when you’re investing in the whole market, you’re investing in the whole society itself. And society is always doing everything it can to grow, produce, and consume more. That’s what humans do. Random forces may slow or stop that, for a time; But as long a humanity exists, it will still be true.
Short term intent is gambling. Long term is investing.
If you’re trying to make money today, this week, the next quarter, year. You’re gambling.
If you buy into something, intending to stay in it for a long time (think years and decades) you’re investing.
Or re-release the same book with a different title.
The issue there is that metal unibody deigns, attenuate RF signal strength. While they can work, it is a tradeoff.
That’s the thinking the article is arguing against.
But I do have an example.
High end polycarbonate prescription lenses for glasses.
The high index, thinnest, lightest lenses, are plastic. Not glass.
Edit: Thinking more, I wonder how much more expensive it would be to use the same polycarbonate material on phones.
It would certainly be stronger and less prone to breaking. With good coatings, it would be just as scratch resistant.
It would offer the same premium look and similar feel as glass. Just lighter.
Yes, exactly
It doesn’t usually much more than, “I’m not going to talk about that.”
After repeating that a few times, when people ask or talk about something too personal, they’ll give up.
