The actual quote is "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT", which makes DJT either a signature and a call to buy the market if he can form a valid sentence, or a call to buy NASDAQ:DJT if he can't form a valid sentence. Take yo

Since the press in Poland wrote about this, I'll add a little context. According to the Muzeum Historii Ziemi Kamieńskiej's spokesperson, the knife is actually up to 3-2,8. They used the X-ray fluorescence method to come up with t

Looks like a run-of-the-mill opinion. What's the story here?

Don't try to reason with this population collapse nonsense. This has always been about racists fearing that "not enough" white westerners are being born, or about industrialists wanting infinite growth. For some prominent tec

Hayek has been lobbied by US corporations so hard for so long that regular people treat the invisible hand of the market like it's gospel.

So Klarna's business model is people missing payments on a regular meal? Does something similar work anywhere outside the US, or is this a US thing?

I never said X macros are bad on their own. With C++ you can code exactly as you would in C, but you don't have to manually implement C++ features when there's a need. C++ doesn't have any more problems than C, it's pro

I've heard enough "C is superior to C++" arguments from game developers who then go and use header structs for inheritance, or X macros, enums, and switch statements for virtual functions, to know that more complexity isn&#x2

This is only for string matching? I can't find any mentions of regular expression support. Why use the "re" naming scheme?

How is a hike "invigorating", if you need mechanical assist to do it? You don't have to climb a mountain. You can have a walk in the local park.

It's an ETF, so it boils down to whether you have access to a particular stock exchange. European brokers support trading on US stock exchanges, so I'm sure it works the other way around too. I use Amundi and Xtrackers because the

Buy a world index that's not over-weighted on the US or spread your money around region indices. Keep dollar-cost averaging. Stop believing you'll get more than 3-4% yearly returns above inflation. My only real strategy change as

Europe is not a nation, and the boycott is against a single country acting like an adversary. Europeans aren't boycotting Xiaomi or Huawei.

Is it normal that the background section reads like a random Reddit post?

This bot just scans people's social media. I would assume you can just fake someone's social media account and get their visa denied. I'm sure this thing won't account for multiple people having the same name. It would a

I genuinely think that the anti-Europe sentiment in the current US government and libertarian spaces is because European countries manage to do this and more, and remain competitive in the global economy, while the US tells its citizens it

1 month of Trump in office, and NATO is already but a distant memory in american minds, not to mention USA's use of Article 5 after 9/11.

There's a size point at which rolling your own infrastructure is worth it, and may get government support. Help grow companies you want to see succeed.

Libertarian taking government money and liberal are two different things. I doubt there's any liberals in Sam Altman circles. It's hard to even call people like Sam Altman libertarians when they have no regard for other people&#x2

Whatever this hose of bullshit strategy is, it's probably working because I'm already tired of venting through mocking comments.

You won't believe this, but it looks like people who were born into a tiny window of opportunities to make large personal wealth out of thin air don't have a sane grasp on capitalism and socialism.

Yeah, except it's the world shifting to zero-trust towards USA after Trump torched the Budapest Memorandum and started threatening with expansionism. Please leave calling things "interesting" to Musk. This situation is tragic

Nice to see that Europe remains a failed socialist hellscape even in the eyes of supposedly smart Americans. Thanks for taking the time to write this. Must've took a solid 4 hours of googling on ketamine.

This guy spent a few hours trying to "solve" covid from "basic principles", ran some python on the DNA sequence, and then gave up. None of this is serious.

You can also spend 8 hours furiously typing at Google to confirm your biases and vomit out a bunch of theories.

I never heard of Bernd das Brot, and having watched a few clips just now, I have to admit that a loaf of muppet bread that's forced in front of a camera and just wants to leave is exactly my kind of humour.

YouTube is still useful, so I didn't cut it out completely. I have an RSS feed for channels I'm interested in, and sometimes the only good search result is a video. The feed is for noise control only. I find that I now negatively

I was never addicted to social media, but I used to be terribly addicted to YouTube. I tried various blockers, and none of that worked. In the end I told myself I'm going to quit for 1 month and see. It's a long enough period, whe
