@Rasguine @__Passie__ @emilykschrader Verb conjugation must agree with the subject. You chose "are" rather than "is" which means the subject of the sentence is plural. Which means you included Jimmy Carter in "being silent" today.

@__Passie__ @emilykschrader Obviously you retard. Didn't you see the 70s in there? Read it again. 🤣

This is the hell that is Evin Prison in Iran, where political prisoners are held. This is actual CCTV footage from a hack showing what goes on there.

@ElrondHubbard77 @wil_da_beast630 He was forced to watch Purdue play football

@wil_da_beast630 How did Purdue hurt you Wilfred?

There actually is a serious point to be made re this "Big 10 vs lower Ivies" hoops debate - and the point is about obsessive neuroticism. In reality, if your kid goes to B-school or honors undergraduate at Illinois, Northwestern, Michigan, Purdon't, U-Chicago (!), Wash-U, etc, their life will be at most 2-3% different from what it would be if they went to (Brown). And, Hell - if you want an Ivy THAT much, don't slave your whole young life away...just lie and say you're an Eskimo! Of all the ways you can spend your time, obsessive focus on status markers that almost do not matter at all - and which can often be as easily obtained with game as with agony - strikes me as one of the saddest and most useless.

@Rick_in_Miami @TradexWhisperer Why not? Can't prices stay the same if demand continues to exceed supply?

@TradexWhisperer They can't sustain a 70% increase in average selling price while unit volume grew under 20%

Who sells $MU after a print like that? Someone who was never really long to begin with. Event trader. Fear trader. Headline trader. Fundamentals don't expire overnight. Patience is my edge.

New study involving 770 high school students over 5 months across 10 schools. All students got the same lectures, course material, and GenAI tutor. The only difference: half received a fixed sequence of practice problems (easy to hard, standard practice), while the other half had their problem sequence dynamically personalized by a reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm. The result: students with adaptive sequencing scored 0.15 standard deviations higher on an in-person, handwritten final exam: no devices, no AI assistance. By some estimates, that's equivalent to 6–9 months of additional schooling. No extra instruction time or additional teacher workload. Beginners with no prior experience saw the largest gains (0.215 SD). Students at lower-tier schools benefited more than those at elite schools. linkedin.com/posts/johnbail…

for a while i've had a slight fear that the bluetooth from my airpods could be frying my brain this weekend i pulled the raw data from a $30m government study of 1,679 mice blasted with cell phone radiation and reanalyzed it what i found was...not what I expected? 🧵

@dwcl1979 @DavidMKeyes @BillAckman @POTUS Wrong answer ... If you want others to defect they need to know they will be given sanctuary. And they'll know if they cause any trouble here they get sent back into the hands of the dictators

And so it begins. Senior Iranian defections from: -Embassy in Copenhagen -Embassy in Austria -Embassy in Canberra -UN mission in Geneva Who will flee the Titanic next? SAVE YOUR YOURSELVES. SAVE YOUR FAMILIES.

@LJKawa You should at least compare NVDA to NQ each day so this terrible analysis has the appearance of being valid

When Jensen Huang speaks, Nvidia usually falls $NVDA sherwood.news/markets/when-j…

@ChrisGloninger @WhiteHouse You might want to look into where 95% of the critical components for solar panels are made

If your goal is energy security and stopping hostile nations from having geopolitical leverage... Solar panels don't require aircraft carriers. Wind turbines don't fund adversaries. You can't embargo sunshine. The technology that actually delivers "energy dominance" is the one we're barely mentioning. 🇺🇸

"The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money. BUT, of far greater interest and importance to me, as President, is stoping an evil Empire, Iran, from having Nuclear Weapons, and destroying the Middle East and, indeed, the World." - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

@TStranske @sandeepvaheesan Often it is other PE firms

@sandeepvaheesan PE managers typically need to sell companies at significantly higher prices than they bought them to make money. Who are the foolish buyers who, although it's so well known that even you know it that PE extracted all the value, continue to buy companies from PE year after year?

Apropos of nothing: The private equity business model is overwhelmingly about asset sweating (buying existing things and extracting as much as possible in the short run), not asset building

i just woke up my daughter (2yo) to tell her i'd just discovered a new agentic AI framework that will 10x my productivity rubbing her eyes, she said, “dad, you haven't shipped a single meaningful feature that supports our KPIs for FY26. i'm struggling to believe a new framework you haven't tested will deliver meaningful shareholder value” hugging her, i started crying. they grow up so fast.

@emollick Cool, but omitted 3 of the 4 lighthouses for the only territory I know well, off Rockland Maine. Missing Owls Head Light, Browns Head Light (Vinalhaven) and Goose Rock Light (North Haven).

Here are all the lighthouses of the Northern Seas, each light is the right color, each turns or pulses at the right frequency, and is scaled with its brightness. You can also see how far they are visible. I had Claude Code build this and upload it here: lighthouse-atlas.netlify.app

@riccoker @mikealfred It is also good for retailers and restaurants because seniors tend to shop and dine at non peak times of the day and week, so marginal cost to serve them is lower

@mikealfred Mike, the “senior discount” isn’t charity, it is a business/marketing ploy appealing to get more seniors to come in and buy, since they are sensitive to price changes. I believe it has nothing to do with any sense of fairness!

It’s time to end the “senior discount” forever. Boomers have all the money and real estate. They don’t need discounts. People under 30 need help getting started. I propose a new universal “Gen Z discount”. It will grow the economy and increase the birthrate. Who’s with me?

@JesseCohenInv Based on all of these answers, I am going with option D: Nobody knows why

Why are gold and silver prices crashing today?

My kid thinks that if we can hack Iran's TV and radio networks to play Baby Shark, they'll surrender rapidly.

Trump was able to kill the supreme leader of Iran while working from home at Mar a Lago and you want me to come into the office ?

@Crowded_Mkt_Rpt @KamalaHarris Lol she has 400x your followers

Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice. Read my full statement:

Tomato size sorter.

Went down the rabbit hole on this one. The answer is actually wild. 5,000 years ago, Sumerian merchants in modern-day Iraq needed a number that's easy to divide. They picked 60. It has 12 divisors (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60). Base-10 only has four. That's 3x as many ways to split something evenly, which matters when you're dividing grain and wages and can't handle repeating decimals. The counting method is the best part. They used their thumb as a pointer on the three bone segments of each finger. Four fingers, three segments, that's 12 per hand. Track multiples of 12, on the other hand, and you hit 60. No pen needed. Merchants in parts of Asia still count this way today. The system spread from Sumer to the Babylonians, then eastward to Persia, India, and China, and westward to Egypt and Rome. By 1800 BC, Babylonian students were using base-60 to calculate the square root of 2 to six decimal places on clay tablets. One student's homework from 4,000 years ago, now at Yale, holds the most accurate computation found anywhere in the ancient world. The Greeks adopted it for astronomy, which locked it into navigation, cartography, and eventually clocks in the 14th century. People have tried to kill it. During the French Revolution in 1793, France mandated decimal time: 10 hours per day, 100 minutes per hour, 100 seconds per minute. New clocks, new laws, the whole thing. Lasted 17 months. Workers hated getting one day off every ten days instead of one every seven. They tried again in 1897. Scrapped by 1900. The metric system replaced feet and pounds across most of the world. But 60 minutes in an hour? Untouchable. 60 is just too good at being divided. You can split an hour into halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, sixths, tenths, twelfths, or twentieths and land on a whole number every time. Try that with 100, and you get ugly decimals for thirds, sixths, and most common splits. 5,000 years of civilizations looked at that math and came to the same conclusion: 60 wins.

@JasonKPargin Sounds like ... Parents!

An underrated path to self-improvement is to get with somebody who has an unrealistically high opinion of you and to fight every day to not disappoint them

@Midnight_Captl Not sure how anyone's expectations for NVDA earnings can be much stronger than the market since so many are saying that their own expectations are above the market. Seems like the market actually expects a significant beat

Portfolio update 02/20 As of today’s close, the portfolio is ~currently ~3.5% off ATHs, slightly up YTD Next week is obviously massive for us with $NVDA reporting. As we’ve shared several times, we expect CY26 to be much stronger for NV than the market currently anticipates.
