Because sometimes "skyrocketing" means going 1% over the average annual high, or "cratering" going 2% below widely published analyst forecasting.

America Inc., riffs on the now dated "Japan Inc." But... other than cute, it's a poor take.

Japan Inc was Japan Inc because much of their economy was capitalistically centrally planned. The central Gov't would have monumental plans and would greatly incentivize their keiretsu to follow and undertake such monumental tasks. There was METI at the center making policy for an export driven economy.

That is in no way a parallel to what we are seeing in the US. In the US we are seeing companies become more influential and powerful than the central government and implementing their own policies (Uber in transportation, Facebook/YouTube in content censorship). That is no USA Inc. It's Incs in the USA with global projection. Very different.

> When you are reminded that Citibank lost 0.5 Billions because they spent 0$ on their UI, you may start to understand how much corporates world is rotten to its core and why mainframe is still there.

That wasn’t actually on a mainframe or in COBOL, it was an Oracle app (Oracle Forms/Reports, PL/SQL, Java, etc). And, it was a product from an Oracle subsidiary (OFSS), the software itself was not maintained in-house. Although, to complicate the story, that subsidiary was started by Citibank and then sold to Oracle in the mid-2000s.

So Citibank no longer directly controls the decision on whether the UI is updated, now that is up to Oracle. They can encourage Oracle to do that, and decide how quickly to upgrade if/when Oracle delivers it, but Oracle controls the actual UI. Or they could decide to look for a new product to replace it with.

(Disclaimer: former Oracle employee, was peripherally involved with OFSS banking products during my time at Oracle, although I never had anything to do with Citibank, and I never saw this specific banking product either.)
To me what is interesting is comparing to other commodities. For Iron you see a similar pattern to lumber. Copper and steel boombed but are only starting to turn now. Is there a lag between raw materials and more refined materials? Silver and gold similarly, though gold has fallen harder. I'm guessing because of all the doomers that buy gold when the economy dips. I don't know how to analyze wheat. And crude oil just flash crashed. Like literal flash crash.

I wonder if anyone knows the reasoning behind these different patterns.

You can look at the data for San Francisco on the police department website:

Comparing August 2021 to August 2020 Larceny/Theft is up 11.5%, Assault is up 34.6%, Robbery is up 16.3%. And that doesn't count the people who just don't bother to report crimes because they know nothing will be done about it. Your link says its data ends in 2019 and has only limited, preliminary data from 2020. If property crime is down, why are retailers closing stores and cutting hours due to rampant shoplifting?

>Do you think everyone with it overeats?

Well, yeah. For all the complexities of nutritionist meal plans and fad diets, losing weight can be achieved leveraging nothing more than a caloric deficit.

>In an illustrative study of one, Mark Haub a professor of nutrition at Kansas State University, demonstrated to his students that he could lose 27 pounds in just 10 weeks by eating a high-sugar, high-fat, low calorie diet. Professor Haub ate Twinkies, Little Debbie snacks and other sugary fare every three hours, instead of eating meals. To add variety to his dessert regimen, he also chowed-down on Doritos, sugary cereals and Oreos. Despite eating mostly junk food, (plus one protein shake per day), he limited his intake to 1800 calories per day, about 800 calories less than necessary to maintain the body weight of a man his size.

>Interestingly, his body fat and cholesterol dropped after this diet, despite eating tons of fat and sugar. In other words, eating sugar and fat does not raise your cholesterol, provided that you are on a low-calorie diet and that you drop body fat. We see similar findings in people who lose weight on the Atkins’ Diet. Their cholesterol levels improve, even though they eat a diet very high in animal fat. This is because being overweight raises cholesterol.

>Not surprisingly, Haub showed what all doctors and scientists already know: Weight loss really is about the number of calories that you consume, not the composition of those calories.

So why are there so many diets and books about diets if that’s all it takes? Well it’s hard to package and brand the ‘eat less, fatso’ diet. And like everything else in this world, ‘science’ takes a backseat to money.

Why does it matter whether their actions are savory or not? There are many things that reality tells us children are going to do, whether it's "savory" or not. And a lot of those things probably shouldn't be exposed to interception.

> Facebook employees are ethically compromised.

Again, I disagree heartily. I know FB employees who aren't ethically compromised, which serves as a counterexample to your claim. I can't think of any legal, large employer with whom people are ethically compromised simply by employment.

Also, your original claim was that they are morally corrupt. How do you distinguish between these two?

> they are making the world worse for me, the people I associate with

As a gentle reminder, a single person isn't the world, and your life being assessed by you as worse (without mention of baseline) is not a huge price to pay for free connections, central marketplace, and not to mention the groups that have been extraordinarily helpful for the marginalized. I've been in that place (marginalized), and finding support through groups facilitated by FB's platform was essential to my well-being. So again, counterexample to the totalizing claim.

Am I a fan of FB? No. But it's a really hard stretch to assume that everyone is compromised for being involved with them. Such claims aren't novel, but seem to be histrionics in most cases.

Yes. The writer was clearly referring to the practices which were explicitly condoned by that organization. The organization was not literally a government, but the term still makes perfect sense when referring to the governance of an organization. The writer’s point was that being critical of other languages was not simply something that happened in practice, but was an explicitly condoned behavior.

> they looked at humoral immunity—also called antibody-mediated immunity—to measure the body’s defenses against the coronavirus.

The title is misleading. Humoral immunity is not the only aspect of immunity but it was the only aspect measured. Cellular immunity is generally much longer lived than antibodies. The title should be something like “losing 80% of Covid-19 antibodies after 6 months...”
It's just a guess.

This is what I saw too. News networks that want to sell doom and gloom (most specifically a certain network we all know we're talking about) have "economists" sell doom and gloom in ways that don't really make sense. Like never in the history of ever has something skyrocketed and then just stayed there while the American currency inflates to account for that commodity (or even groups of commodities). But that was a serious position that I've heard those "economists" say. While the mainstream economists were like "just wait it out and buy some shorts. This bubble will pop but hard to say when." Logically we should expect the latter happen because it follows historical trends too. But maybe I'm wrong. I'm not an economist. Just someone who listens to them.
Is this basically "I'm doing the robustness principle but also communicating that I'm judging you"?
What stood out for me was the assessments of Peter Thiel's involvement in politics by Steve Bannon and the author of this piece.

>The new lightning F150 looks very attractive

you will be happy to know Ford is using SK batteries after switching away from LG. SK just recently settled for $2billions a case that revealed they stole LG battery technology. Bolt uses LG batteries.

LG had a chain of costly recalls and replacements for all of their clients

"LG Energy Solutions, the company that makes the battery for the Bolt and Kona EV, has not had a good year. First, they agreed to replace the 82,000 batteries sold to Hyundai for the Kona EV, Ioniq, and Elec City buses. Although the initial rumors were from a faulty battery separator, Hyundai later said that the problem was badly folded tabs. GM emphatically pointed out that they use a different separator, and a different factory. Thus neither of those problems should apply to the Bolt fires.

Porsche recently initiated a recall on a loss of power in its Taycan LG batteries, and Ford also moved from LG in its Mustang Mach-E to SK in its Ford F-150 Lightning."
Although I do think you have a point, I find this framing very convenient.

Remembering how incredibly shitty people could be in middle and high school, it's not hard at all for me to see how constantly comparing oneself to one's peers could be detrimental to one's health. It was bad enough having to go to school every day, but (back in the day) at least I didn't have to have that shit follow me around everywhere else too. In short, yeah, I'm having a hard time buying any comparison between Doom and Facebook.

All that said, I also have a hard time seeing a legislative solution to this problem, especially given what the typical legislature looks like these days.
> We have enough evidence to at least build correlation between social media use and decline of mental health.

Again, eerily similar to the violent video game panic in the 90s.

The original congressional hearings on violence in video games followed record-high gun violence in 1993 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_congressional_hearings_on... ). Politicians pushed a correlation between increasing popularity of violent video games and increasing gun homicides. It sounds dumb now, but video games were relatively new at the time.

The correlation felt right to many, especially those who hadn't grown up with video games in their own lives. I see this social media debate following the same pattern where adults feel that social media is evil and assume evidence will eventually support their feelings.

> Because there is no evidence for this. In cases where there is, like in lootboxes, we see a push for legislation.

That's rewriting history. Decades ago, there was a huge push for legislation against violent video games long before lootboxes were a thing ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_congressional_hearings_on... )

Violent video games have been called out as recently as 2019 by president Trump ( https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politics-news/trumps-... )

Violent video games have been a political scapegoat for decades. The debate about social media is following in the same footsteps.

If I may ask, what are your thoughts on BuildZoom? If I go through them can I be more certain about quality work?

I have heard many horror stories of people who had houses built and the builders made terrible mistakes. The person having the house built had to micromanage them and kept finding bad mistakes, like "forgetting" to put insulation in walls before the drywall, putting a window in the wrong spot, or putting crawlspace pillar supports in the wrong area.

I feel like right now the most reliable way to make sure my house gets built right is live nearby and check on it every day. Is there a better way?
>Yes, definitely, a huge amount of what motivates scientists is desire for fame, being considered a genius, Nobel prizes, scientific immortality, and so on

That might do more harm than good. Once someone wins a Nobel, their productivity tends to decrease. Fighting over credit can be really toxic (see Newton vs Leibniz which probably stunted the development of calculus) and lead to less collaboration and knowledge sharing.

It may be unrealistic to think we can be different, but at least seeing that it's problematic should be unrelated to that. It's unrealistic to think crime will stop, but we should at least try to minimize it.
