It's pretty explicable. Our entire economic system is based on the premise that we should off shore the production of things to other places who are willing to deal with the nitty gritty and get it done at a price Americans can afford

Great to see Napier posted on here. He's a smart guy

No culture congratulates themselves for getting the basics right quite like the Scandinavians. Congratulations Scandinavia. You are good at the thing you've always been good at and everyone knows you're good at, walkable bikable c

Simply saying that other places are a mess(which i agree with) doesn't mean that everything is fine in our camp but even just saying that everything is fine in our camp is a drastically lower bar than "the end of history" If

When you've staked your entire career on an idea which has eventually been shown to be beyond any doubt, ridiculous, there is only one thing to do: double down.

Cold in the sense that they will lack the resources to warm themselves through an average winter. I of course cannot predict the weather

Do you apply this same stict framework to your medical diagnoses you are handing out for people you've never met over the internet? I don't need to catalogue the fallacies to point out why this is not a good idea. This is also iro

Funny to see these glass house dwellers throwing stones. They are all 100% correct when they trash eachother's platforms. They are all terrible.

This is word salad. A bunch of psycho-babel that gives the impression of a deep understanding of the human psyche when in reality it shows at best the ability to memorize the criteria around a few invented categories and give a horoscope ba

Germany is still facing a very cold winter by all accounts. This will help around the margins

Yeah well, if you sit around in the couple of places that have no housing and hate building housing, surprise, there's not going to be available housing and quality of life is going to be awful. If that's the battle you want to fi

Because we have an overabundance of housing for one. Massive portions of our housing supply are sucked up as STRs and and second and third houses due to a decade of free money. On top of that we have all time record numbers of houses set to

Definitely not a decade and a half of virtually free money and endless liquidity that encouraged people to chases returns outside of stocks and bonds. No, it's those blasted algorithms.

Operative word being safe: > learn to identify the safe edible species The whole point is you shouldn't just run around picking stuff up, taking a run at an identification, and then popping it in your mouth. You should go out alread

There is no one right answer to this question. Find someone locally who is into mushrooming and ask them what is the best guide for your area.

by anm89 4y ago
I think this gives people the wrong impression that mushroom foraging is dangerous. It isn't. Anyone can quickly learn to identify the safe edible species around them. But the key is, you have to understand that you should know upfront

Yes I've got objective proof of my qualitative opinions on sociological topics. Let me just dig that right up for you. I didn't realize that HN was an academic journal where all statements should come with proof. Do you have proof

None of this is particularly great for the wealthy. They disproportionately own the assets that are tanking in value. From a quantitative (not qualitative), relative basis and absolute basis, this is worse for the wealthy then for the poor

Facebook needs to create a new con to justify their valuation now that the charade is being exposed. That's literally it.

There is nothing that facebook could do to convince me to pay big money for one of their pre brickable devices

> Meanwhile unemployment is still at an all time low. That is incredibly circular logic. So companies shouldn't be doing layoffs because unemployment is low? Are you arguing that the macro environment isn't bad? A G7 country is

Much of academia seems to have become an outwardly transparent no hold barred status battleground. So this just seems to exactly align with my expected outcome given that assumption. I'm not saying there aren't people in academia

Wow, you are making multiple posts here with an authorative tone and yet you have been deader than dead wrong on most of the things you have said. > Reserve assets are not very liquid at all. ??? Just stop confusing people. This statemen
