Money Market Accounts vs. Four Alternatives

The interest rates on money market accounts are variable, so they rise or fall with inflation.

(And if you’re thinking “but it’ll take much longer when you account for the inevitable debate about what actually happened!” then there’s an answer for that too.)

any argument that a stock was too expensive led to the 'wrong' investment decision being made over the past 5yrs+ as prices kept going up.

Inside the Rope with David Clark

It's one of the standard career paths of trustafarians to start some vaguely benevolent business. The problem with most of them is that they either have a bogus political agenda or are feebly executed.

So if you submitted a long-form piece that took half an hour to read, there would still be time for someone to read the entire thing and upvote; you had shot at the front page.

more companies are adopting a new business model that applies the principle of the triple bottom line of profit, people and planet.  

Streamlining customer orders and using predictive analytics on those transactions enables food manufacturers to be more agile in scheduling production.

Or perhaps you're there because you want good grades so you can acquire lots of money and power which you will use to fight dragons.

Fannie and Freddie have a lot of debt, and the government doesn’t want to consolidate it on their balance sheet

(They did the prudent thing here and hedged their interest rate risk, so they were really speculating on the creditworthiness of borrowers. But that’s a lot of speculation!)

agency bond owners who care about duration (that’s going to be all of them, except the Fed) will dynamically hedge their duration risk. If the duration of their portfolio falls, they’ll buy longer-duration securities to raise it, and vice-versa. There are many securities you could buy with long duration, but generally the simplest approach is to buy a security with zero credit risk, denominated in the same currency as whatever you’re hedging. i.e. to buy US treasuries.

A long life, though, depends on healthy living, which in this case means building a business that doesn’t just produce differentiated content, but has an entire business model and integrated approach to match.

A lot of what we know in science is bound to change. That’s what makes science great, what makes it work

wrote a computer program that generated phrases randomly while preserving the positions of individual letters that happened to be correctly placed (in effect, selecting for phrases more like Hamlet's)

even if life on Earth turned out to have a nonevolutionary origin (for instance, if aliens introduced the first cells billions of years ago), evolution since then would be robustly confirmed by countless microevolutionary and macroevolutionary studies.

The origin of life remains very much a mystery, but biochemists have learned about how primitive nucleic acids, amino acids and other building blocks of life could have formed and organized themselves into self-replicating, self-sustaining units, laying the foundation for cellular biochemistry. Astrochemical analyses hint that quantities of these compounds might have originated in space and fallen to Earth in comets, a scenario that may solve the problem of how those constituents arose under the conditions that prevailed when our planet was young.

Some antievolution authors have published papers in serious journals. Those papers, however, rarely attack evolution directly or advance creationist arguments; at best, they identify certain evolutionary problems as unsolved and difficult (which no one disputes)

the idea of falsifiability as the defining characteristic of science originated with philosopher Karl Popper

The historical nature of macroevolutionary study involves inference from fossils and DNA rather than direct observation.

The absence of direct observation does not make physicists' conclusions less certain.

Newton had a great time for a long time with his description [of gravity], and then at some point it was clear that that description was fraying at the edges, and then Einstein offered a more complete version
