以史为鉴：黄金往何处去？-虎嗅网
说到这里就要提到当代一个曾经非常有意思的“猫吃辣椒”理论。怎样才能让一只猫吃辣椒呢？一种方法是硬上，抓住猫，把辣椒塞嘴里，用筷子捅下去。另外一种方法是欺骗，把猫饿两天，把辣椒塞肉里，骗猫吃进去。最高明的是后面这一种，把辣椒涂在猫屁股上，猫觉得辣就会舔，不知不觉就把辣椒吃掉了。 Source: 以史为鉴：黄金往何处去？-虎嗅网
Intel Honesty – Stratechery by Ben Thompson
This is where everyone who is invested in American manufacturing — or perhaps more accurately, concerned about China’s threat to Taiwan — has to get brutally honest. If the U.S. government and U.S. tech companies want to have a non-Taiwan option, they are going to have to pay for it directly. Yes, the CHIPS Act […]
reading – How to stay on top of recent literature? – Academia Stack Exchange
Now, after the end of my PhD, my research interest are broader, the number of journals I like to watch is larger but my time is more limited. This system didn’t work anymore, and I set up a new system, which has worked well for a few years. I use bibliographic databases (SciFinder and Web […]

The secret inside One Million Checkboxes | eieio.games
The discord was full of some very sharp teens4, and they were writing these secret messages to gather other very sharp teens to talk about botting the site. Anyone who was writing a bot would probably be looking at either the base64’d version of the data, the binary version, or the 1000×1000 image version; they […]
Can Solar Costs Keep Shrinking? – by Tomas Pueyo
The PV (photovoltaic) module is still 39% of the cost (about $0.39 per watt). That will go down fast—probably faster than the historic 12% annual drop because the investments are so much higher now. The world average is already around $0.25/watt. In some places in the US, solar panels already cost $0.20/watt. Overseas, it can […]
End of the Road: An AnandTech Farewell
Still, few things last forever, and the market for written tech journalism is not what it once was – nor will it ever be again. So, the time has come for AnandTech to wrap up its work, and let the next generation of tech journalists take their place within the zeitgeist. … Finally, I’d like […]
The real “Wolf of Wall Street” sales script | Hacker News
This is not the actual sales script. It’s a script for the so-called canvassing call. Or so it was called back when I worked in boiler rooms cca. 2007. You hire a bunch of losers pay them no wage and all they do is telemarketing “can I call you with an opportunity?” i.e. you simply […]
Friendly Google and Enemy Remedies – Stratechery by Ben Thompson
The reason to start this Article with railroads and Rockefeller and the history of the Sherman Antitrust Act is not simply to provide context for this case; rather, it’s important to understand that antitrust is inherently political, which is another way of saying it’s not some sort of morality play with clearly distinguishable heroes and […]
