I am reading "Lords of Finance" and it alludes to how the gold trade helped trigger the Great Depression. https://www.amazon.com/Lords-Finance-Bankers-Broke-World/dp/... (hat tip to HN as this was where

I’m pretty sure anyone high cannabis is a danger to others while driving? The smell of weed does not air out — every taxi I get into stinks of it constantly. Not only that, it has a much greater range - I usually saw a cigarette smoker but

Has deepseek spend been independently audited? Also, does it have similar national security concerns as TikTok?

Well it works fine on our Alexa and Google Home. I see that is useful if you have more heterogeneous tech.

I was just curious to compare plans, and Apple Music family is $17 while Spotify family is $20. I know Spotify is “cooler” so worth the premium? I thought similar catalogs except now exclusive podcasts and maybe free audiobooks (are those g

Bus drivers should be in their own cab. That would help a lot.

iCloud and Apple mail I use because my family is all in on Apple devices (teens!) so photo sync and music just work better with Apple, and the domain support for Apple mail is nice (outlook dropped that, Gmail costs a lot more, and my famil

I was going to say similarly, what competitors are better. Alexa or Cortana or Hey Google? Google is maybe a little better but none are ChatGPT which is a different thing I thought the whole point of Apple Intelligence was to have ChatGPT a

I thought for sure that was going to be AOL. Which I know doesn’t make sense, but they were huge in Loudoun.

That bothers me less, as finding a device to play CD music is very hard and expensive now. Also the CDs will degrade in another decade to worthlessness, unlike books

Planet, money, style economic analysis, is that the vibes woman? But I would be curious how to make sure I get that kind of content I would love philosophy and current events. Somehow I’ve trained my algorithm is only show me superhero clip

I suspect that the algorithm is taking in inputs that maybe we don’t consider. Not just swipes or likes, but maybe even how still the phone is while you watch it or if you blink less, signs you’re more focused on the video. Maybe they don’t

Partly it’s having a constant discussion about society, the world, and news in general. We talk about how advertisers are trying to manipulate you, social media can be addicting and is also trying to manipulate you, etc. Not an angry way, a

I begged my parents to quit smoking for a decade, and they finally did when I was 12. I am so sensitive and triggered to smoke even as a middle aged man, it just smells so awful to me, even the hint on a smokers clothes makes me gag. Now we

My Toyota is like your Subaru: it gently slows behind traffic, nearly stops for stop signs, and guides me in lane marker. It’s kinda of terrible because it teaches me bad habits to depend on the car and then when I drive conventional, I’m

So all mainstream cars are vision only? No ranging like lidar?

Would the cars have seen them if they wore light strips? I expect the model is interpreting the reflective strips as the reflection striping of the lines on the road.

Seniors today were professionals using technology 20 years ago. In many ways interfaces have remained pretty static since then. The only real innovation was the iPhone, but it’s just a more responsive multi touch palm, to some degree. We st

I’m a GenX and just about every high school student at least admired a Mustang, especially the 1st generation version and the retro inspired 4th gen in the mid 90s. Nowadays I am pretty sure my kids have hardly ever seen a coupe let alone a

Pony cars have been dying for decades. GenZ isnt interested in learning to drive AT ALL. I’m sure most young adults are most interested in a comfortable spacious box with lots of screens. Hence all cars tending towards SUVs. Teslas are famo

Stocks are somewhat irrational these days. Reddit just turned a profit after nearly 20 years in business. Its whole use maybe upended by AI and bots, so even if its profitable now hard to know if it will continue. I don’t know what drives i

I see it with relatives in who are always thinking they should be working on closing the next deal rather than at the aquarium with their kids. The incentive structure feels almost corrosive.

Let’s take the moment to hat tip Hacker News for no ads!

What web pages are you seeking out? I feel like I read hacker news, the New York Times and some local Reddit channels more or less. Search is so squirrelly and the passion GeoCities pages or Uni home pages are long gone, and blogs are corru

I was going to say: what do you expect of the generation weaned on the Office? It’s been part of their zeitgeist since birth. I saw a GenZ today with a gag Dunder Mifflin rear view mirror badge hanger.
