The WFH trend hasn't been environmentally friendly afaics. I work with a bunch of people that used to live in small houses close to the office, now have big houses out in suburbs or resort towns, then do a bigger commute the few days a

The other part of Japan is that in the 80s and 90s it had the highest, most unaffordable houses anywhere. Much of the reason they're cheap now is that that bubble exploded. Demographics are different to.

Can we bring back java applets? It was unsafe back in the day, but if we can do wasm surely we can do applets? Lots of good languages and libraries for jvm.

I didn't say they would be able to live in the same space, they'd have to share with family, and/or cram into one room and/or live in a poorly built house, like people in poorer countries do, and we did 150 years ago.

I figure there are two types of people. Those that subscribe to services and mostly forget about them. And people like me who monitor everything and unsub as soon as they can.

I know a bunch of kids in high school so are killing themselves trying to get into the top seletive colleges. Its nuts - the worst thing is if you get in those schools are now filled with the same people who spent their childhood jumping th

Its going to be fascinating how the preference for WFH affects the job market. I'd imagine on-location jobs to get paid more as supply dries up and everyone wants to work from home. Teachers/nurses/chefs were underpaid before

Agree this is a bigger problem for me. Its usually temping clickbait and I end up clicking some of the links and getting distracted.

I only recently discovered PBS news. I thought it was great to have #1, #2 without much entertainment. Realistically I stopped watching after a few weeks as it was kinda boring. There needs to be some #3 in any offering.

Of course it was a bubble 2021 was nuts. People with just a few years experience were getting senior jobs earning hundreds of thousands of dollars, then leaving soon after to a new job earning even more. All the while WFH doing so sweet FA.

Silicon Valley has always been boom/bust like Florida Real Estate. Remote working is the bigger threat this time, why come back in SV?

It was higher than I expected, but kinda makes sense. You're right that cash does lose value via inflation, but you need cash for when you need it. Looks like they sold a billion worth of stock in 2021 when times were good. I'd th

Sure, what I meant was Basel rules mark treasuries as level 1 capital. So Basel doesn't have much to do with it, as the OP suggested.

Are you sure that is the problem? I see lots of comment today they lost a lot of money on long dated treasuries. Which is "safest" asset.

Visual Studio C++ did this in the 90s. I never understood why Unix devs preferred emacs/vim back then.

I'm guessing the puts expire today, maybe this afternoon we'll know more.

Ring your broker. You can probably still execute the puts and you'll be short.

Its obviously risky. A year ago it had a market cap of $35B, if you can buy for next to nothing it could be worth it. Depends a lot if there is a big hole in the accounts and if the old customers come back.

They always used to be famous for dumb questions that made you think like how many golfballs can you fit in a school bus, why are manhole covers round etc.
