Since the baseline fear level was "inflation will keep going up and the Fed will keep raising rates, sending us deeper into a recession in the process", this seems extremely encouraging. If inflation has peaked and is starting to

>Humans would be "gluing things together" in just the same way I'm often struck by how stark this is in ancient fantasy art. The 'monsters' are usually just different animal parts remixed -- the head of one on th

That line revealed to me, as someone who has dealt with similar things, that his real problem now is depression. It's not just sadness, it's an inability to perceive a future where things get better, or even a future at all. Sadly

If he was to apply a logical framework to his reasoning then overturning Obergefell would mean also overturning Loving and dissolving his own marriage. But he isn't particularly interested in that, because he is a political hack. Thank

A web design opinion that has increasingly solidified in my thinking is that box-shadow should never be relied on to distinguish an edge. Not only is it (obviously) less distinct than a border or an edge where color changes, it breaks outsi

Why exactly does glucosamine only having a minor effect on pain, collagen degradation, joint function, etc. preclude it from having an effect on cancer outcomes? Obviously this should be replicated and if not replicable, should be dismissed

Especially since his results confirm most of what the original thread claimed. A couple of the inputs did not reliably replicate, but "for the most part, they're not true" seems straightforwardly false. He even seems to del

> So, here’s a timeline: The 14th amendment was passed in 1868. For 135 years, it was perfectly consistent with that amendment for states to put people in jail for having the wrong kind of sex. Then, one day, it wasn’t anymore. This is w

I wonder if this title isn't a bit backwards. We are creatures that emerged from nature; being in nature is baseline to us. A better way to phrase this might be "being constantly trapped in a world made of concrete and drywall cau

The tweet announcing it was captioned "watch this space": https://twitter.com/willnorris/status/1518694675909013504 Which seems like a promise they intend to actually open source something there.

Would be nice to have a side-by-side comparison with the steps to starting and operating a bank to get a full picture of what Column abstracts away and what founders must still DIY. Currently you have to dig deep into the use case docs to d

I'm not much for regulation of crypto/DeFi in general, but instant lending like this should absolutely, 100% be illegal. It's exclusively useful for exploits and MEV vampirism, and for nothing else.

Not offhand, but if you want to find the discussions, you can go into the Beanstalk Discord and search "Ukraine" prior to the time of the attack, and you'll see people discussing the rogue measures.

She Comes First. Pretty much the sole reason I've been told over and over again for the past decade that ours was "the best sex [they've] ever had". If you have sex with women, you need to read it.

I remember several twitter threads about this and the clear winner was usually the Manta Sleep Mask. Doesn't push your eyeballs in, plus the eye parts are velcro-attached to the strap so you can adjust them to your face.

This seems like the weakest example. I immediately thought of that Paul Krugman quote from the 1990s where he pooh-poohed the internet, something that's stuck with him forever and made him a laughingstock where futurism is concerned.

Right, but Amazon isn't an early-stage startup. It's a tech giant that wants all the employee-squeezing benefits of being an early-stage startup: sacrifice your life and comfort for the sake of the company. It's Day One, afte

Pretty typical for people here to be zoomed-in on the b2c side of a business because that's what they use, and fail to see the b2b side, the underwater mass of the iceberg.
