Someone I was talking to made up the term "targeted recession" to describe it as some communities are definitely experiencing negative growth while overall metrics seem positive.

My experience is that prices are increasing in required goods (food, housing, healthcare, education) so some people can't decrease spending. I know a lot of people who have cut spending for non-essential things but it's just tha

We do not come to the same conclusions. The last paragraph is this: “Luckily, I’d say I’m a pretty predictable guy.” Luck has nothing to do with it, Mr. MrBeast. Your predictability is the result of years of an information diet consisting o

So firstly I think for understanding YouTube it's much longer but it's better to just read Mr Beasts onboarding guide ( https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YaG9xpu-WQKBPUi8yQ4HaDYQLUS... ). It gives a more co

Where I grew up was undeniably safer than Tokyo or honestly probably almost any place on earth. I still knew kids whose parents didn't want them playing outside without an adult because they were worried their kid was going to get abdu

The longest drive I ever do is 350 miles (most days I drive less than 10 miles) so a cheap EV with slightly more than 200 mile range would be perfect. I already own a steam deck and have books on my phone so stopping to charge once or twice

I think the big tech companies have set standards so low that's it's often easy to look good by comparison. By the standards of big tech this is pretty small potstoes as egregious cash grabs go

So on one hand credentials shouldn't matter but I've found for large online spaces the energy of wading through bad takes turns me away from communities which could otherwise be interesting. Like I wish I could filter comments for

You still see politicians step up today, especially in times of war. I also wonder how much a modern media environment manufacturs or amplifies flaws of politicians, I once met someone in person who was convinced that Obama hated veterans.

I think assuming why people are down voting and telling people to go to Reddit isn't a particularly high quality comment. More to the point: in English "angrily" doesn't necessarily mean the subject is emotionally angry,

Even amongst management consulting firms McKinsey is known as the unethical one. I know someone who worked for Bain and when I gave him shit for it his answer was always "hey, at least I don't work at McKinsey"

I think it mostly just seems intractable because people at the end of the day don't care about local journalism (at least not enough to pay reasonable amounts of money for it). At the end of the day I think there are some problems that

One thing in tech I find interesting is I run into a lot of people that view everything as a tech problem. The AI can be a local journalist if it gets good enough and on one hand that's always true, sufficiently good tech can do anyt

I'm not saying we should either, it's more that discussing it on the internet feels like a waste of my time and the morality of it isn't my point

As an American the most surprising thing about the reaction to the CEO being killed is supposedly the system is bad enough where killing people is okay but I don't know many people who vote in primary elections or care about local elec

First, as far as I can tell you're equating likely foreign state propaganda with what appears to be a diffuse meme organization so they can't be assumed to be the same thing. Secondly, for political messages it should be clear w

Buying one million when only ~20 million are in circulation is shocking, to put it mildly. It would be 5% of global supply just owned by the US government. Assuming prices didn't go up much after they started buying it would be 100 bil

In a lot of states there was a more than 3x increase in price which I think is hard to justify as a difference in stock. Median square footage for homes now is only 1835 square feet ( https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M

This has been one of the hard things to deal with working in tech. Tech has advanced so much but am I happier or more connected to people than my parents were at my age? Not really. I've had an existential crisis recently about what al

Some anti-cheat has clients for Linux (the ones that don't generally just disallow playing on Proton). I don't think the Linux ones are kernel level but don't quote me on that.

I would say competitive markets more than capitalism are responsible for that and we've seen many many cartels and monopolies (even with legislation against them) so it's weird to imply that they aren't fairly very common. It
