Yes, people hate inflation, because inflation creates a demand for more money! Inflation means there is not enough money for people. So why did prices go up, is it just because of fiscal spending? The relationship between inflation and mone

Modern monetary systems function through two main channels: government spending and bank lending. Every dollar in circulation originates from one of these sources - either government fiscal operations (deficit spending) or bank credit creat

For the US government it's a matter of political will. Where is the political will?

SoftBank and MGX paying for all this, all foreign investment. Where is the US government in all this? Why aren't they leading the charge? They obviously have the money.

How can you disagree with the author, they are doing exactly what you suggested, firmly stating their opposition to PG's beliefs. It seems you didn't read their post. Also, yes, if someone hates you, you can definitely change thei

Beautiful writing. I also read pg's essay and was also upset. Just know there are cis men like me who are on your side and hate where tech is going. The bigotry being out in the open is disturbing.

The youth has energy and are naive and will take a bad deal. They will work hard while others will make money off their work. Also, the author is not a man.

Productivity is waste. A lot of us here build software and have this perverse idea that refactoring is value instead of waste. There is an old saying "Redo in design creates value, redo in production creates waste". SpaceX is deci

Starship started development in 2012. SLS started development in 2011, New Glenn in 2012. SLS flew in 2022 around the moon. New Glenn just flew, reaching orbit with an actual payload. Starship hasn't reached orbit, the best they did wa

SpaceX started Starship development in 2012. Despite 12 years of work, its best test flight reached space but not orbit, sending a banana to the Indian Ocean. While NASA's SLS began in 2011 and successfully flew around the Moon in 2022

The real issue is global warming causing an exponential rise in tail risk events. It's exponential because even a linear shift in temperature causes an exponential rise at the tails (look at how a normal distribution works). Insurance

People don't understand the exponential change. As you correctly stated, the effects of climate change are exponential. Why? Because if you take a normal distribution and shift it linearly, the area on the edges grows exponentially. Th

I worked in Nokia at the time and played with the N9. Meego was actually really good. It could have been competitive with the iPhone and Nokia could have stayed at the top and been where Samsung is now.

Except your analogy is flawed. Tiktok is selling "books" written and published in the US. It's not like the Tiktok's themselves are all Chinese made.

I just opened a new twitter account as an experiment. What features are you talking about? Nothing is obviously new. Also seems much more buggy than I remember.

I live in the US. I mean, if I give my data to China, what are they going to do, arrest me? Oh wait no, that's if I give my data to Google or Meta.

You have it backwards. People who had old conservative views were told they were wrong and got upset. So they started to believe they were being targeted and persecuted when in reality, if you count how many went to jail or got fired, it wa

There is nothing logical about his essay. There is no reasoning. It's kind of all over the place. It's kind of a desperate essay.

What I find funny is that PG thinks he is a thinker who breaks the rules. No PG, you and your friends write the rules. Wokeness is about acknowledging the game is rigged against black people and others. But go ahead PG, redefine it as polit

The assumption that hierarchical organizations are inevitable blinds us to more effective ways of organizing. When we look at companies today, their feudal-like structure means CEO decisions naturally have outsized impact - but this is a pr

AI doesn't connect you to communities like search engines do. Ask AI a question and it gives you an answer, no interaction with other people. Ask a search engine and it may bring up a forum with someone asking a similar question. Then
