It's fascinating how there are so many layoffs going on across the economy and yet unemployment is staying so low.

This isn't true at all imho. People love to create. It's just that they are all using Snapchat/Tiktok/Instagram/etc... now instead of web sites. Personally I hate it. But that's where all the creators are.

It did not seem to make it that much harder for FTX...

What's amusing about your comment is that exchanges are the one centralized part of crypto due to the interfce with fiat and they also tend to be where all of the fraud occurs.

Top dev talent is overrated imo. Not to mention almost every dev thinks they are top tier even if most of us are just mediocre.

From what I understand there was a lot of fear due to the conflict this summer. So Europe bought a ton of overseas liquefied natural gas and stocked up as much as possible. So much so there are tankers sitting in the ocean being used as t

Looking at the macro picture is so misleading. The only categories that are really down are natural gas, used cars & trucks, and apparel. Everything else is up but it is being masked by the huge drop in natural gas prices (which is du

So you are going to have to verbalize something, interpret the code, build a mental model of how it works, and then if it does not match what you want go back to step 1? That sounds exhausting when we have spent countless human years develo

Spoken language is incredibly ambiguous. It's one thing to generate a drawing which can vary wildly in output and still be acceptable. It's another to specify something precisely to a computer. Working with non-programmers on a

Well then I will just never upload my code if you want to use it without permission. Git is distributed thankfully and does not require a centralized service.

Do you typically invest all of your wealth in one thing? Because for most of us I imagine that is not the case.

I don't want to stop it at all! I encourage them to develop co-pilot. But it should be a toggle on each repository and should require explicit user action to opt-in.

Is there any concrete evidence they are in a battle? How many households have both? I know Verizon includes the Disney bundle for free. Netflix just launched it's ad supported plan as well. Lots of things are in flux right now.

Yeah I really don't care about being cancelled, like at all.

Sometimes it's OK to let loose and be a little immature. Life is short.

I'm not sure I agree. I mean, yeah it's great once you have found them. But I would of never of discovered stats twitter or other great communities if they were off in some isolated silo/mastadon instance. It lacks discove

It's also meh. The money gets tied up in the company until the shares vest (my wife had to wait like 8 years or something). It's performance is tied to the performance of the company and you can't diversify. Lots of times i

The employees are not innocent. If you do such a bad job that you attract the ire of a huge portion of users and a billionaire willing risk it big to buy out the company to correct the ship then maybe it is time for some self reflection.

I like how the law of supply and demand in economics has been renamed "price gouging" by democrats.

The way I see it, it is still rising. But that was hidden by the fact that oil & gas prices dropped during the last period which was largely due to dipping into strategic reserves pretty heavily. Unfortunately I don't think oil &

I'd expect those two to intersect for sure, but I imagine there are plenty of people with enough disposable cash that enjoy twitter but contribute very little. Or maybe I am just an extreme outlier :)

Real terms only work in the past. These are future predictions about interest rates staying high. They would need to be making estimates about future inflation then and if history is any indication the fed always gets it wrong. Remember, in

I'm surprised, coming from the Fed, this article seems to completely ignore the effects of 8%+ inflation.

I'm not pissed and I am a stockholder. To me it makes a lot of sense. I doubt they are reviewing the entire code base. It seems like Elon is particularly interested in the automated systems that control content and detect bots. To th

Trump wasn't the only elected official removed. I just don't think the president of the U.S. or any democratically elected official should be removed from a public platform such as this.

I feel like it means exposing elected officials and making them responsible for what they say online. If anything I view it as holding them to a higher standard. In addition, it reduces the extreme polarization in our country. When you sil

We can argue about free speech & all that jazz to no end. But at the end of the day it's as simple as not banning elected officials. I don't care how divisive they are, we need to know what they say and do. These are people

The data just does not seem to line up with your assessment. Labor force participation rate is down 1% since pre-pandemic. It's not earth shattering, but it is quite a drop. Also inflation is hardly a few percentage points of catch u
