Risk taker not influencer. Not advice. HF guy and a *gulp* fintech founder. Some clown got to macronin first. Elbows up.

Well… more to the point demons may exist. Probably not. Nazis definitely existed, and they were total bastards.

I’ve been casual student of physics for four decades. Why did no one ever explain to me so clearly what a conservation law is?

This is why reading basic material from brilliant thinkers is so often worth the investment.

Remarkable developments in the UK China spy case yesterday. What stands out is UK prosecutor saying deputy national security advisor 'would... not accept that China was opposed or hostile to the interests of the United Kingdom at the material time' www.google.com/amp/s/www.bb...

If you were looking for one of the lowest cost ways of preventing climate change, you might head for the “deforestation frontier” in the Amazon rainforest.

Correct take. It is by its very nature anti-expert and with few exceptions highly destructive.
why are people on the left using "populist" in a positive way now, you shouldn't want your politicians to be populists, "populism" isn't good

TLDR: Private-equity owned insurers are buying ratings for private equity-backed loans from private equity-owned credit rating agencies. 😑 on.ft.com/47sTNV9

Elbows down at Carney's request is interesting, because i think its bad politics for both of them
Doug Ford says he'll pause the Reagan ads after tonight and tomorrow's World Series games, after speaking with Mark Carney
This is not good for the USD. Erosion of network effects reduce its convenience value increasing cost of financing.
External renminbi loans, deposits and bond investments by Chinese banks quadrupled to more than Rmb3.4tn ($480bn) over the past five years, as Beijing steps up efforts to expand the currency’s role in global finance and reduce exposure to the US dollar on.ft.com/47lhezr
I’d sell that big house in Chelsea, quick.
Which Milan REITs / developers do I buy
Increasingly coming to the view that Reeves is a fool. 1,800 partners in West Kensington make more than all the partners in Northern Ireland. The assumption that none will leave is bracing. Stupid, even. So long as they aren’t lawyers, they can do their jobs from virtually anywhere.
At over 60 pct tax rate, a HF manager could move to Copenhagen and be about as taxed. Certainly would be cheaper to move to Stockholm. Before you say good riddance, the top 1pct pay 29pct of income tax. If only 300k people go (the top half), that’s more than 15pct of the total income tax take gone.
How to vaporize the hedge fund industry in London. The marginal tax take doing this will be low.

Only lawyers can’t move.
Entrepreneurs who are wealth creators regularly make nothing building businesses. This policy is just fucking stupid. Will some grown ups please take over at the Conservatives.
Apart from anything else this is just complete "jackets and ties must be worn in the members bar of a golf club that's going bankrupt" stuff. Unshakeable assumption that high earning global talent is mad keen to specifically live in the UK and will eat unlimited crap to do so
The Conservatives have drafted the legislation.

ANY one of the conditions being met leads to ILR being revoked.

If annual income falls below £38,700 for six months (for any reason at all)

The Secretary of State would also have the powers add whatever further conditions they want.
Absolutely correct take.

Love the Miyakawi Method and it's PNV approach.

I saw a clip about the Miyawaki Method on the Today a few days ago & was intrigued as I'm trying to rewild part of the 12 @ we bought 5.5 yrs ago.
I now have a list of at least 18 varieties of canopy trees, trees, & shrubs native to this county/adjoining county lined up to use in a small trial.

Thank you for the recommendation!
@brianpotter.bsky.social new book is superb and you should all buy it, if not for yourself then for a high functioning autist in your life. The cover itself says “Hey remember How Things Work? That kids book you looked at for hours? Yeah you are our target audience.”
It will never be cool. End.
Buzzy restaurants are moving in, and young people are moving up. The Upper East Side has never been hotter.
