Perhaps there should be some sort of a collaborative peer-reviewed page of all ideas like that, so we don't miss out on anything.

So that is pressed together cocoa?

Basically. Take the pure cocoa mass and just press it into bars.

If you did that for altruistic causes (donating your wealth), it would make you quite worthy of a person at least in my book.

Worthwhile doesnt usually bring in fame or fortune, just warm fuzzy feelings.

Unfortunately my landlord does not warm fuzzy feelings as currency.

Do something for society that makes money so that you can do something for society.

Like working for Google selling ads?

Hey, they put dinner on those yacht builders' tables.

To me, many design decisions they have taken with respect to hardware are incomprehensible. It doesn't look like a premium quality laptop. Very few can pull it off like Apple.

Despite seeing it everywhere, it doesn't mean that it's false.

Interesting. What sort of returns have you had over the whole period (and how long)? What sort of scale of investments are we talking about - 10k-100k? 100k-1M?

My return over the last 12 months is 8%. This is less than the S&P but I'm only about 60% in stocks so I'll take that. Scale of about 400k. I used to own more individual stocks and had less % of my total money in the stock market and have been trying to shift to a more hands-off, diversified, portfolio over the last 3 years or so. I've been learning about investing and managing my money for the last 15 years. I don't have accurate numbers for that entire period, need better software.

I wouldn't sleep well if I was 100% in stocks so I realize I'm giving something up in very long term returns.

Ask me again in 10 years.

Maybe it's like permanent advertisement on streets?

4K TV without the 4K TV

I was also expecting a display from the headline, but not the price.
