Tools #03 - Les presses du réel (book)
The third issue of the annual magazine that promotes know-how and technique in design, craft or industry, dedicated to folding. We fold. Every day, we fold. We fold (or in English, we bend, depending on the context) wood, laundry, metal, cardboard, earth—even our arms and legs. Folds find their way into the hollows of our skin, the corners of our eyes, the movements of the earth… In French, the ripples on water are "folds"... Folds are everywhere. In crafts and industry, too, folds are the basis of many technical maneuvers: bending, pleating, twisting, forming, bowing, etc. Fans, parachutes, tents, napkins, chairs… objects are unfolded and folded back up. All the time. So, we fold. But to what end? That's what we set out to understand in the third issue of Tools magazine.

The Real SBF Stood Up
The case was almost comically open-and-shut given not only the legend that Bankman-Fried established at the pinnacle of his fame but also the attempts by his supporters and certain journalists to paint him as a complicated, tragic figure in the run-up to the trial. Foremost among the former were his parents. “Sam will never speak an untruth,” his mother, the Stanford law professor Barbara Fried, told The New Yorker. “It’s just not in him.” The latter were led by the mega-best-selling author Michael Lewis, who was still suggesting he was a guileless savant with the best of intentions even after the trial started. We now know that Bankman-Fried, in fact, can tell a lie just like the rest of us — that he is the simplest of criminals.

Vanguards 2022 Outlook
I have been discussing why I prefer analysts who think in terms of probabilities rather than making bold forecasts; my view is that predictions are marketing, and are useless for investors. This is the basis behind my advice that you should ignore the MSM festival of punditry. But not everyone is so crude…Read More
