Where you’re born matters more for boys.

Jon Stewart on baltimore schools.

Kitces has an interesting post on wash sales. IRS will probably rule on this in typical timely fashion, maybe the next 5 years.

Good Sumner post on the proper measure of well-being. He is consistently very good at making sure things are measured properly.

Atul Gawande with a piece on healthcare. Maybe this is how America spends so much GDP on it?

The dangers of using poll results to describe public opinion.

Overview of a few estate planning strategies. When it comes to multi-generational planning the devil is in the details, but a good overview article.

People are bad at understanding currencies and exchange rates.

Civil Discourse. If more discussions happened with this level of quality, the world would be a better place. The topic of discussion is interesting too, the so-called “Growth Mindset”.

Tren Griffin on Julian Robertson.

Tim Ferriss on Brian Koppelman’s podcast. Interesting guys to listen to. They spent about 30 seconds on it, but the “microbiome” is really blowing up these days. If you haven’t heard of it you will.

For example, the attribution of weight gain to microbiome imbalances (versus eating too much) I find extremely suspect.
