A conundrum in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

[–] piconaut@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (1 child)

Ok, your loan has been determined to be higher risk therefore you have to pay more. Why did we need to invent a second payment called PMI instead of just charging a higher rate to higher risk borrowers? Why do interest rates need to remain "reasonable" ?

In science lectures and podcasts, I hear the terms "trivial" and "naive" used often, with no explanation as to what they mean specifically by that. What do they mean by "trivial" and "naive"? in c/askscience@lemmy.world

[–] piconaut@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago

Naïve can also mean research subjects or animals before or without exposure to some operation or treatment.

A fan of Adam Curtis, I see.

If you don’t want to be poor you should simply become rich in c/linkedinlunatics@sh.itjust.works

Happy to help. I hate plausible bullshit posts like the OP. I'm sure I get tricked into believing things like this all the time without even realizing it. For anyone wanting to backtest similar investing ideas https://valueinvesting.io/backtest-portfolio is a pretty good tool.

According to my calculation (which is probably wrong) you would actually have approximately 3.8 million today not 25. The .com bubble would have caused a 93% drawdown.

Grok, even in its manipulated state, continues to emphasize the facts. And that's hurting the feelings of a lot of Twitter users. in c/whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works

This page looks like it has some reports similar to what you're describing. Especially "NOAA'S CONTRIBUTION TO THE ECONOMY". If that's not it, let me know and I'll keep looking.

Certain species of microbe found in the human gut can absorb PFAS in c/science@midwest.social

[–] piconaut@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Interesting but the bacteria appear to just sequester PFAS, not metabolize them. Also, the difference in fecal PFAS excretion between high absorbing and low absorbing strains didn't look that impressive.

It's not my fault. All the servers hosting papers name them like this. Go complain to them. No seriously, go complain to them. This has annoyed me for quite some time.
