I think that people have a really hard time conceptualizing compound interest rates. $10,010 invested with bit connect at their claimed rates would be $3.1 million after 12 months. But you get your "capital back" after 4 months?

I like the wet your finger and stick it up in the air forecasting model. OK - there’s 1.5 billion pocket-sized iPhones - so let’s say 2 billion person-sized robots, you know,

I’m wondering about the supply chain issues just making the extra half billion robots, might be kind of a big deal. Are there enough rare minerals in the whole world to do this? Lithium batteries? Computer chips?

Also, yeah, valuation based on revenue and not EBITA / profit margins, but whatever.

How am I ever going to work again, knowing that page is on the internet. Instead of Timecube, it's time squared.

The interviewer somberly nods in response. Meanwhile I want to ask AI to edit this video and have the guy on the right make stabby gestures while he says this bullshit.

It's a lousy bit, because if you're going to do a goddamn "crocus" joke about hundreds of people being shot at a concert, you should obviously make the pun about Swiss heavy metal legends "Krokus."

Tangential to your tangential - nice to see that the moral compass of McKinsey associates is still true north.

By the end of the year, Elist was doing roughly 60 Penuma procedures a month, and his oldest son, Jonathan, left a job at McKinsey to become the CEO of International Medical Devices, as they called their family firm.

Can you please tell me when and where? The Japanese subway gassing comes to mind. Anthrax envelopes in 2001. Any others since then?

Excellent, well-informed take here from the replies:
