This is still a better situation than 2008, where banks were bailed out to the extent that management even stayed (despite deserving prison), and shareholders lost nothing. So that's the worst possible outcome, today's is probably

Because how could a democrat white house possibly justify paying money to a Musk affiliated company? That’s how bad politics is now. If Musk were actually the asshole people made him out to be, he would have just pulled starlink until payme

So the solution to crony capitalism that has been taken over by big corporations and lobbyists manipulating the government is… More government. Please explain the logic behind this. Surely the solution is smaller government, no lobbying or

First off, the actual scientists, like the ones at the IPCC say climate change will only slow growth, it won’t ruin us. Your point - is basically what most well off (and since you’re on HN I assume you’re better off than 80-90% of the world

Also if the FDIC just buys these assets at non firesale prices, and eventually sells them to other banks, SVB depositors could easily come out of this whole, with no damage to anyone. I think everyone is being way too hysterical. This isn’t

OK, and? It's still a free market. If people want schools with LGBTQ+ education, set one up, and do it. You can. Why should local government help? Especially if that local government was specifically elected to not support issues like

Because it's not actually about saving the environment, but about slowing down or stopping human and technological progress, because human progress is basically evil. This is the fundamental driving emotion behind the environmental mov

Exactly, and its actually generally blue states that have centralised education, and places like florida that allow chartered schools and similar ones. So if you want to setup a private school in florida with LGBTQ+ education, I'm pret

I don't get your reasoning, sorry. Desantis banned certain books from being taught. Anyone can go out and buy those books. You specifically say "woke" governors banning or revising classic children's books" which is

D) with an organisation this size, it’s impossible to do the cuts once and for all the people you need to cut, because the communication and reporting lines will get completely disrupted. If they know they need to cut 20%, they can’t do tha

This is all the feds fault. It sounds very 2010 but people need to get back to what the occupy movement was about. The fed should NOT look at house prices as an asset, for almost everyone it’s an expense and if it’s going up in price that’s

If you could see the future that works, but I just don’t see how you know what will be used for nefarious purposes in the future. In fact most technology does both negative and positive things. It’s not obvious banning it completely will be

Well this rarely translates into healthy societies, in fact it’s a curse usually to have natural resources. So your gods may be punishing you.

Yeah, if I was an owner or investor like Jasper.ai (AI written content generation SaaS) I'd be pretty worried right now.

They’re releasing much more data to advertisers, meaning targeting on FB and Meta will considerably improve in the next few months. Which will improve performance for everyone.

This would be the worst time to spin it off. Tiktok is a threat but seems slightly subdued, things might take off for YouTube again. On ads ATT has depressed revenue a lot but apples recent updates will mean better tracking soon and revenue

As someone who grew in both eastern europe and the west, this view you have is quite wrong. The amount of stupidity on the left about "equality" and where it leads is very large, a lot of people believe it, even though it leads to

Whatever political side you are in, it's extremely naive to assume the other side is making choices because of stupidity. Yes there are stupid people and conspiracy theorists on the "other side", but trust me, at the lower so
