This is true for newbie investor after reading a book and investing in Wall-Street. They almost always lose the money and again Wall Street releases a new easy book on investing.
I find a huge co-relation between how poker and wall street is aligned.
The difference between poker and the stock market is that the odds are in your favor in the stock market. This plays out to between 6-8% per year. Visit this highly upvoted HN link to learn more and not lose: https://training.kalzumeus.com/newsletters/archive/investing...
Visit every country in 72 days? A UN senior official might be able to manage it with one of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_laissez-passer , which would also provide a way round the mutually-exclusive visa rules. You might encounter some problems with defining a country (Palestine, Taiwan, Nagorno-Karabakh etc)
Physically it would be doable with a private jet and some helicopter transfers for the awkward cases. Microstates without airports (San Marino) and tiny islands (Sao Tome etc) might take up a lot of time.
(The Verne trip was a "mere" circumnavigation, immigration was a lot easier back then, and quite a lot of it was British Empire)
Do you count transit or must immigration be passed? If you think about this question, isn't it worth more to have a chat online with people from every country?
I doubt this is possible. Maybe if you take helicopters to get from
border to border and have all immigration officials ready to process you once you arrive.
For me, screentime has worked really well. I don't have social media apps and notifications are on for critical apps i.e. Calendar, Slack, Journal entry (I achieved it with discipline).
Now the sad part is you can still access them on your browser and because of gamification, it is so easy to lose the track of time on those sites. I used to keep reading articles for hours even though I haven't finished a single task for the day.
What screentime offers me is a check which actually what I needed. It is like a teacher/friend who reminds me you are spending more time than supposed to in categories which is not important for you. At the moment, social media seems waste of time for me and so I set it up for a 5-minute limit. If I am reading important stuff on social media and it binges me the limit time. I think that check helps in reminding what is urgent and what is important and don't mind it as a problem as other people commented.
I think Apple is a true tech company. How can you define a tech company? it has got holds on both hardware and software for its ecosystem. Doesn't that make it a tech company?
At this stage, if any company which can create an OS like iOS would be considered tech company leaving aside the hardware part.
That's a really strong statement. RFC structured this way because they needed people to contribute whereas SEC and Congress don't want people involvement.
I have been at computer history museum recently and got a chance to see the Babbage machine. It is marvellous and within seconds, you will relish its beauty. It lets you realise how the computers has changed over the years.
I have been using this framework for more than three years and seen how it has evolved and made scrapping so easy. The portia project is also awesome. I have customised scrapy for almost all the cases like having single spiders for multiple sites and providing rules using JSON. I think it is highly scalable with bit of tweak and scrapy allows you to do very easily.
