   Personally I feel like Factorio reveals a principle I also see at my day job. Automation is exhausting. ;-)

   This goes back in history to mention the 2008 financial crisis, but doesn't go far enough. Those who were around in the 70s remember stagflation - high inflation and high unemployment - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2

    9 years at facebook, maxing out 401k and Roth Megabackdoor ~= $450k in tax-sheltered retirement accounts. That is a hell of a good start for retirement. EDIT: forgot the employer match. More like $600k.

    This seems a bit…reductive. Billions of people use chat, some significant fraction for decades. It’s nice to hear one person’s opinion, but the “truth on the ground” doesn’t bear you out.

    It says “Correspondence” at the top of the page. That suggests to me that it’s the equivalent of a “Letter to the Editor.”

    From the About page: “ We focus on entrepreneurs who have been left out of the narrative: women, people of color, and those who are geographically outside traditional power centers.” so maybe?

    Uniquely? GOOG invented the dual class share structure, and the founders still control over 50% of shares by votes.

    I don’t have an adblocker on my phone, so maybe I’m to blame but holy crap, the number of ads on that page are the opposite of “normal human consumption.”
