In other words: Advertising works.

This is my approach.

I have hubris. But also some self-awareness.

20-50% into broad market indexes. 50-70% into messing around and generic picks.

Of my own picks, only a few have outperformed the s&p50p. Some are… not good. If I happen to find another nvidia I’ll be very happy. If I don’t, I’ll be able to retire at a not unreasonable age.

People comparing the hits of yesteryear to the norms or even lows of today is a thing.

Yeah… I’m pretty sure the white space is part of the spec for a QR code.

I think the actual take is probably closer to “I wish we went back to a time when record companies would take a bet on anyone, regardless of the overall package, looks etc”

Which tbh, is probably more of a fairy tale view of years olden days than anything else.

I’m really curious if they can make video injection of ads cost effective.

It feels like mangeling video streams into one, potentially re-encoding the video as they go… sounds expensive

Partner has a phd. Can confirm she recommends no one ever do it.

She only finished it out of spite, so her paper work no longer has miss/Mrs and no relation to her marriage status.

Sounds reasonable. Why not both? Both sound good.

It is the standard. Now. Currently.

If you don’t like it, might I suggest a guillotine or several. Worked for the French.

A former sitting president has been indicted, if not convicted of this very crime. You’ll have to excuse me if I don’t believe it’s that uncommon.
