Just buy QQQ. She doesn't have a magic strategy. In fact, she probably underperforms given how long she is in tech and how leveraged her trades are (people forget she's married to a venture capitalist).

underperforms what? Certainly not the market

It's not an "interesting framing", it's bog-standard boring: HN has guidelines for commenting and you broke them.

You may be falling into the common error of assuming that the moderation comment expresses an opposing opinion about the topic you care about*, but in fact it has zero to do with this, except insofar as when the topic is divisive, there is an additional guideline:

"Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

It's hard to to not have that misconception when it appears that moderation comments are selectively communicated

Everything related to I/P conflict tends to draw lowly informed and heated discussion.

It also appears to draw poor phrasing. Which aspect of my comment was "lowly informed"?

> And it's great for the those in charge of the budget cuts, because it is a loss that is very difficult to quantify financially, and will only show over a longer period of time. Typically, well after they cashed-out and left.

IMHO most executive pay should be locked up for decades by law, and they only get a middle-class wage stipend in the interim. And I mean really locked up, such that a significant fraction should only be payed out as long as 20 years later. And that pay gets forfeited if the organization has too many problems.

It'd help disincentive smash-and-grab management like you describe (because weakening the org would jeopardize the locked up pay, and would help a big with succession (because their pay would depend on the successor's performance, too).

And thus the cycle continues- the EU stifles meritocracy, bemoans the resulting lack of innovation and entrepreneurship, and resorts to inventing new and novel ways to penalize US companies as a coping mechanism

Given how much he contributed to the election outcome it hardly seems tired to blame him for the consequences.

Plus he's on Twitter every week publicly discussing how much he uses the platform to put his thumb on the scale of discourse towards his personal beliefs.

In what world is he not involved?
