This is true and conceded, but that wasn't my argument.

You can use the same argument for flu deaths, heart disease deaths, diabetes deaths, etc. The numbers that you pay attention to are dependent on what is popular right now.

What about hyperinflation? And why isn't anyone bringing this up?

What if that ends up being true?

"literally zero chance"?!? Ok, I'm going to hold you to this. I am screenshoting it.

Historically, how long does it take to go to hyperinflation when past governments started doing this? I need to know.

if the consumer rate is 0%, what is the stop the consumer from borrowing an unlimited amount of money?
102.
by steveeq1 7y ago
Because it was always done that way.

I can practically just smell the inflation.

I used an arbitrary example. let's say my roommate comes in and I don't want it to give a "false alarm" (another arbitrary example)

Does anyone know any open source security software that uses AI to search for a particular event? ie: "only notify me when "X" person enters the room, but not my dog"?

Characorder looks interesting, as I am trying to find something similar to engelbart's chorded keyboard. Do you know how long it takes to become proficient with Characorder?

Do you have this guy's name? You should create a website with his name and company in the domain. That way, it's searchable by google and so when people eventually search for him, people will know what he does for a living. While

Read "Secrets of Power Negotating". It's filled with manipulative tactics designed to mislead the other party into thinking "they won". This book was un-ironically recommended at HN startup school like 10 years ago.

It's supposed to be outrageous. This is called "anchoring" so when the counterparty brings you down to your desired salary he thinks "he won". That way, they aren't mad and return to the guy for another negotia
