this is irresponsible & borderline insane. there is 0 real evidence that tadalafil has any health benefits, let alone an all cause mortality benefit. while the author states that its just an association, the implication is irresponsible because the odds it does this are <0.01%

Rule changes for the SpaceX $SPCX IPO: Index providers waived the profitability requirement and cut the seasoning window from 90 days to 5. This forces over $30 trillion in passive 401k and retirement money to buy SpaceX at IPO valuations. Bloomberg Intelligence estimates S&P 500 funds must absorb 19% of SpaceX's float within 6 months. Russell 1000 and Nasdaq 100 funds will absorb 24%. The rules built to protect passive investors: 1. S&P 500 has required 12 months of trading and 4 quarters of GAAP profitability since 2002. Both waived. 2. Nasdaq cut its inclusion window from 90 trading days to 15. 3. FTSE Russell cut its to 5. All three benchmarks are now structured to buy SpaceX at IPO pricing.

Grown adults should not put a bar on their back. Horrific risk reward ratio. Grow up!

The way to make outsized money is to take risk. The conversation around rent control, taxation, etc. etc. ignores that completely. Labor deserves respect. Expertise deserves respect. But risk deserves respect too. That’s the part the politicians just skip over. /1

Lots of conversation around luggage. I do over $10,000,000 a year in luggage sales. I always tell people to NOT SELL LUGGAGE. There are lots of good categories- Jewelry, any supplement, even fashion is better. The fact is if you buy any piece of luggage, from any brand, you are getting a good deal Rimowa is the only brand with even 60% margins. Samsonite is the only strategic. They have about 20% of the global luggage market between them and their owned brands (tumi) They are public. Check out their numbers. Gross margins (after shipping) of like 20% Away tricked a whole generation of brands into trying to sell luggage. Monos, Beis, away, and quince are eating each other selling $200 carry ons that cost $100 landed at your door. If you avoid rimowa, every other bag is an incredible value A blessing to be a modern consumer

Mexico paid $20 million for eight minutes in this movie. Then those eight minutes forced them to invent an entire cultural tradition. Before Spectre, Mexico City had no Day of the Dead parade. The holiday was celebrated at home, at cemeteries, with family altars. Quiet, intimate, centuries old. Sam Mendes fabricated a massive street parade for the opening sequence, shot it with 1,500 extras in skeleton costumes across the Zócalo, and audiences worldwide assumed they were watching a real annual event. Mexico's government had negotiated hard for the placement. Leaked Sony hack emails showed officials offered up to $20 million in tax incentives for four minutes of positive portrayal. Sony was drowning in a $300 million budget. The deal included script changes: the Bond girl had to be a Mexican actress, the villain could not be Mexican, and the city's modern skyline had to appear on screen. Then the movie opened in 182 countries and tourists started booking flights to Mexico City for the parade. The parade that did not exist. Tourism authorities panicked. Visitors were arriving expecting the spectacle they saw in the film and finding nothing. So in October 2016, the government spent $500,000, hired 650 volunteers, built dozens of floats and giant skeleton marionettes, and staged the first real Día de los Muertos parade in Mexico City's history. 250,000 people showed up. They openly called it a "Spectre-style parade" in press materials. Ten years later, the parade draws millions. Anthropologists call it the "pizza effect," where a cultural element gets exported, transformed abroad, and reimported as authentic. Mexico's most famous public celebration of its most sacred holiday was invented by a British director shooting a $300 million spy movie. That tracking shot is doing more for Mexico City's economy every November than the $20 million they paid for it.

Brent Metz shot a 17 year old in the face without saying a word. The kid was writing a note asking for permission to take pictures on the property. He is still listed as a town council member for the city of Mountain View, Colorado

I’m meeting Kate’s parents for the first time. Do you think they’ll like me? I’m flying 17 hrs. She’s from Australia and international travel increases aging. But I really love her so it’s worth the cost.

A lot of the emails I get from founders are now written in a hard-hitting journalistic style. I know they're written by AI, because no founder ever wrote this way before. And once you realize something is written by AI, it's hard not to ignore it.

Probably not. But I might not need em. Just if things get worse, would be nice to have lots of cash. $13M could have saved investors on this one. I’d like to have it if I need it again. The loan company has the best shot. Would need to 10x revenue in 3 years, then sell at a 6x multiple of ebita. Not impossible. But long shot, for sure. Most likely on the 2-3 deals that I’m talking about , we will end up refinancing and add 5-10 years to the plan to get investors paid back. Sucks. Or cap rates will fall and we’ll exit faster. But I don’t wanna assume that. But all off those deals make up less than 15% of the portfolio, everything else is fine with fixed long debt. Hopefully… unless ai bankrupts everyone.

This is on my list also. The sidewalk is too crowded for people to pass comfortably or safely - out of ADA in many many spots; the vendors are running full stores on the Boulevard also known as industrial vending. Master cartons of infringed souvenirs are piled up next to card tables. And yes this is all Hugo Soto-Martinez and his choices.

Steven Bartlett says a few glasses of wine ruined the next 3 days of his life “It's one of those areas where you don't understand the hidden cost until you really give it up for a while. I stopped drinking at 30 years old. I'm now 33. When I was 31, I thought, I'll have a drink again because now I could really A/B test it. I had a year of not drinking, decided to have a drink again” “It ruined three days of my life. I had a couple of glasses of wine, didn't get drunk. It ruined three days of my life because of the domino effect it caused” “I got worse sleep that night, and then because I got worse sleep that night, I ate more poorly the next day because my dopamine system or whatever, the cortisol system was all messed up. I podcasted worse. I didn't go to the gym that day or the day after because I felt really bad. I then slept worse, and I could track all of this on my Whoop”
