  2. Thanks I just started downloading them. Also all the episodes look like they are "~30mins" (approximately 30 mins) long rather than "±30mins" (+30mins OR -30mins). I'm not sure how you would even listen to a podcast that was -30mins long. :D
  3. Recently discovered this new podcast by NPR. The format is ±30mins interview with a founder/entrepreneur about how they built their business. http://www.npr.org/podcasts/510313/how-i-built-this The couple episodes that I've heard were interesting. So far I listened to the Sara Blakely episode and the Kevin Systrom & Mike Krieger episode.

  5. Good read: http://www.businessinsider.com/and-then-they-came-for-me-2016-11
  6. http://www.cnbc.com/id/104066290 Apparently Trump seems to think Putin is a great role model:

  8. It's REALLY hard to move to Canada. You have to be sponsored by a Canadian company and there's a high hurdle for the company to show that no Canadians can do the job. My sense is Canada is afraid of Americans coming in and taking jobs. I've been drilled about doing business in Canada anytime I've come to visit. I guess one thing you could do is come in on the 6mo tourist visa then overstay and hope you can work things out. It's a really easy place to visit for a few days/weeks/months, but much harder to move there for good. I think the easiest way to move is to marry someone from Canada. Interesting. I've never had to move to Canada, as I was randomly born here, but I know that the country has a fair amount of net immigration coming in, so I assumed it wasn't that difficult.

  10. So are you saying that all the people who retired young are now going back to work because of health insurance changes in the past couple of years? You can move to Canada, we're pretty welcoming ;)
  11. Healthcare certainly seems to be a bigger challenge in the US, and your system is clearly not on a sustainable path. But MMM does live in the US, and there's a large contingent of people who did what he did in the US, so it's not insurmountable (maybe you have to work a year or two longer or whatever, but it's probably not a reason to abandon the whole project). A good place to start to find out how they deal with this challenge might be to go on the MMM forums and see if there are threads about it or sign up and ask the question. http://forum.mrmoneymustache.com MMM has a 2015 post where he itemizes his expenses for 2014, his coverage didn't seem that high then, but it could've changed since: http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2015/01/16/exposed-the-mmm-familys-2014-spending/ Makes no sense to me to tie health insurance with employment. It's like tying access to electricity with piano lessons.

  13. Until after the US election, macro is just politics now.
  14. Please teach me how to think as well as you. Edit: By the way, your question is the implicit question asked by the journalists: They have named quotes by many people and many hard numbers from the insurance company in the story. The implicit question is: "Why did the insurance company cut a 17m cheque if the damage was apparently relatively small?". The answer to that question might come from the fallout of this story, and we'll see what it is. If they had been able to find the answer to the question, they would've included it in the story, but it certainly doesn't look very good. If they've made up the named quotes and figures in the story, I'm sure that the Trump camp will be able to come up with evidence to disprove it, or the insurance company will come forward, or whatever. But unless these journalists are about to lose their jobs because they made stuff up, the facts that they point to are certainly adding up to enough for the question to be raised.

  16. Who said there was no question asked? You think insurance fraud is a new thing? You think this would be below Trump's organization's golden standard of integrity? I'm just linking to an associated press story, if you want more details, ask the journalists.
  17. Donald Trump took $17M insurance payment after a 2005 hurricane that left little evidence of damage to his property http://www.nationalpost.com/m/wp/news/blog.html?b=news.nationalpost.com/news/world/trump-took-17-million-in-insurance-for-damage-few-remember&pubdata-ipsquote-timestamp=2016-10-25

  19. Via Ed Borgato on Twitter: "Grateful that the correspondence of President Trump's life will be forever preserved at the Smithsonian for generations of school children." http://i.imgur.com/2AXcxHK.jpg There's apparently a bottomless well of this stuff. What a strange man Trump is: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/369439265446309888 Such a non sequitur two years after Jobs' death.
