Jacobin claim: "As of this August, ordinary investors, [...], have lost everything they came to the market with during the pandemic." [source: Business Insider article]

Business insider article: "Retail traders have now lost all the money they gained during the pandemic, according to Morgan Stanley"

So no, Jacobin, they didn't loose everything they came to the market with, but they have lost all the profit in a limited span of time.
I agree that that would be a good thing, but it won't lower consumer prices.
I mean, I get it. In that you can tell me and I can feel a little swayed by your argument.

What I don't get, is the odd idea that there is a universal iconography that every should agree with. For one, I don't find this rebranding that much worse than the old one. I actually assumed both icons on the first tweet were the new thing, as I easily think both are kind of bleh.

Finally, though, some nitpicks. Military banners are incredibly silly looking. Flags? The same. Usually with much simpler aesthetics that rely more on overall color than they do any iconography.

And saying it "could be a tire or a bagel company" is also idiotically offensive. What is wrong with tire and bagel companies? This betrays a sense of class belief that is hilarious when juxtaposed with many of the criticisms given. (Specifically, the old class having the better icon.)
I went to buy a phone maybe two months ago. Before I had my current Google Pixel 6, I used a OnePlus 3T for six years, and even then I only stopped because I sat in a hot tub with it on. At the T-Mobile store, I announced to the salesman that I would be back to buy a Pixel 6 when they had it in stock, and a man pulled me aside and privately asked me why I wanted to buy a Pixel.

He explained to me that he was actually working in the hardware division at Google and that the team that he was managing was responsible for some parts of the Pixel's design. But he added that he had never actually talked with anyone out "in the wild" who owned a Pixel or made a positive attempt to buy one. He went on to explain that most of his team didn't use a Pixel either - they were all pretty much using iPhones, but some were even using Samsung devices.

I understand that this was someone from the hardware team and it doesn't necessarily reflect on the people who work on the Android OS, but I feel silly for not having taken what he said into consideration when I finally bought a phone. If the people working on a device don't even want to use it themselves and can't figure out a compelling reason for anyone else to use it, shouldn't that have been a strong signal to me that I shouldn't have selected it? But I did, and I've been regretting it since. Great camera though.
That's on a population level. On a per-person level, there is no such thing as immunity debt, as the article says about halfway down. If the people around you are more likely to carry viruses, it's more important to protect yourself.
Based on my (admittedly) anectdotal evidence: there's been very little mask wearing for almost a year, and in that time a very large percentage of the people I've known have gotten various colds and/or COVID. (This summer, it seems almost everyone who hadn't had it yet, finally got it.)

The big shift happened when they lifted the mask mandate for schools here in early 2022: Our kids came back with a cold every 2 weeks, for approximately 2.5 months. That was not fun.

All of which is to say that it's not clear at all that we've been "storing up" a problem -- and if we have, much of it has already been let out of storage, so to speak.
Hint: I recently cancelled the unlimited delivery service, and discovered that most of the delivery slots we use cost £2 or less and they suddenly started offering us lots of money-off vouchers to keep us coming back.

It's a shame they had to switch from Waitrose to M&S food. When they offered Waitrose stuff, it really was the best food and the best logistics combined. But the M&S quality and range are much less solid in our experience.
What would the fourth derivative of inflation be? I can’t get my brain to work for that.
You need to read this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifragile_(book)
> Normally, children get infected by their second birthday. Now, “you’re going to end up having kids that are three, four years of age right now who have never seen RSV”.

In an ideal world, we'd vaccinate children against RSV. Acquiring immunity by suffering through an actual infection is always, always worse than acquiring it by a vaccine. About 100k children die from RSV each year!

Thankfully, there are vaccines in the pipeline [1], and I seriously hope that mRNA technology will increase both the development speed and the availability of vaccines in general.

Can confirm. Started feeling a bit ill last Monday, then it was like all hell has broken loose, next Monday it will be two weeks and I'm still not feeling 100% back.
This is about human perception, not about things being designed with a bias in favour of tall people.
Born in the late 80s so I came of age with computing around 1996. I remember the first PC we had, intel 100MHz processor, 16MB RAM, 1GB hard drive, Windows 95. Dad paid almost $2000 in 1995 money for it, and it was a huge deal.

I have to assume my fondness for this GUI is tied in with my personal nostalgia and memory of computing at that time: How mysterious and fun it was, clicking through the menus, wondering what the difference between a briefcase and a folder was, and trying to browse the network neighborhood.

Of course, with the lack of connectivity and how niche the Internet was then, it was all so much less commercial, so much more naive. Magical.
An economic strategy should not depend on people behaving irrationally.
Ludomania is the answer you seek.

This is an insane take, if you are doing async you already HAVE a need for concurrent programming. Async just makes that simpler to read and write.
> We don't know if the way humans study code is the same way that Copilot learns.

It may well be so. I was arguing with respect to your previous post, in which you stated as a relevant difference merely the size of the job.
/r/wallstreetbets was a weird one because there were so many 'winners.' I think on a smaller scale there's a survivorship bias too. In that sense, it's like deciding to play Russian roulette with a full clip because you saw the gun misfire for someone else.
That's why you have several Type B or Type C meetings during development to work out the kinks before you submit a protocol.
Although I agree with the general view of the article, the rule "If It Can't Be Done Incrementally, Don't Do It" does not always apply. I once had to refactor a large application from non-currency-aware to currency-aware. This means every single database field and every single operation involving prices had to be touched. Of course, I did not randomly jump around the code and instead tried to do it systematically. But the whole refactoring took several weeks and had to be rolled out all at once.
Did I say that I want conservative or moderate tweets to disappear? I think not, I was just saying you want a selective political point of view to disappear from twitter evidently which seems anti free speech, which is the opposite of what Musk claims is his goal.
Since you equate human mind with a neural network (questionable to me but OK), let's swap this around and call them both minds and see how it works out:

The mind that can acknowledge and appreciate your work in this scenario (Copilot) does literally nothing of its own free will except 1) take your code and 2) give it to me, possibly combined with someone else's code. This is the sole purpose of its entire existence and full range of its capabilities. Is this enough of a difference compared to a human mind when copyright is concerned?

It spares me from knowing that you exists, that you wrote a library that does this thing I need, that I can contribute to it, etc. In such a scenario, what is the motivation for you to make your library publicly available in the first place (other than generate revenue for Microsoft or whoever I pay for access to the network)? Does copyright have relevance to OSS now?
I'm pretty low income ATM and I simply don't buy Coke zero or anything like that much anymore. I drink water, or tea. Loose tea is still pretty economical, even considering water and heating costs.
Your immune system doesn't "take breaks", if it would you'd just die pretty quickly. The immune systems is constantly confronted to the germs in your environment and doesn't have to be actively fighting an identified disease to keep working properly. There is no such thing as "immunity debt".
> Many people predicted this would be a permanent acceleration that would continue even after the pandemic ended. I did too, so I made the decision to significantly increase our investments. Unfortunately, this did not play out the way I expected.

That's... Wrong ? Who predicted that the growth would continue ? To me and from a lot of reading I did, it was obvious by the end of 2020 that a lot of those tech companies took several years of growth in advance, not that it would continue...
That's what the manual on fedora says too, but it is disabled by default. I admit, I didn't try building from pristine source, so it could be patched!
I remember when shadowstats started getting popular. Have you actually looked at their numbers? they're obviously way off, inflation is high for sure but according to their numbers a lot of things are 6-7x the price they were a decade ago and that's clearly not true
We are in the trolley problem, not the prisoners dilemma.

And on some planes they even allowed those seats to recline a little, so maybe not in any philosophical debate other than that people often don't consider other people's suffering
Yes async is viral, its all or nothing
> But if you get lazy and lounge around for too long, you may forget how to get off your ass and do something.

I've had this conversation with my own therapist, and other therapists that I know over the years. It is a form of anxiety: "oh, no, I'll forget to be productive."

According to them, it is VERY common in engineers, apparently. Perhaps because of technology's rapid pace? Personally, I was able to control this little demon of a thought by looking at my entire life OUTSIDE of work, and how I simply can't stop learning: I do it constantly, I'm always picking up new things to try when I'm bored, and I revisit the same things at larger epicycles (know how many times I've picked up a big C++ project since the 90's, just for fun?)
Are you speaking in theoreticals or can you point to any actual example of what you're describing? Usually for a JIT to work the source binary has to be unoptimized to begin with, otherwise information is lost that the JIT needs.

So What language/runtime out there ships unoptimized bytecode, an optimized precompiled static + LTO w/ PGO, and can re-optimize with runtime gathered information via a JIT?

Heck, what language/runtime is even designed around being performance-focused with a JIT to deliver even more performance in the first place? Pretty much ever JIT'd language makes trade-offs that sacrifice up-front performance and later hopes the JIT can claw some of it back. maybe this is kinda WASM-ish territory, although it then sacrifices up-front performance for security and hopes the JIT can claw it back.
> that I’ve never heard of him

That’s my whole point, which flew right over your head. This is a man who has inherited power and influence. There’s no incentive for the NYT to investigate their own publisher + chairman. There seems to be little appetite for anyone else to do so either. So basically there’s no scrutiny of how he wields his power, or how nepotism is rife at the top of the NYT. That’s why you haven’t heard of him.

Do you understand now?
> Why do so many cars look so angry? Big front grilles that look like a growling, howling maw full of teeth, bulging, muscular body shaping

I am convinced that the omnipresence of this style is going to make the rounded and friendly cars of the early 2000s increase in value in the coming years. Heck, they're only a few years from being eligible for historic plates at this point. My flaming hot automotive take is that the much derided "fried-egg" headlights of the late 90s and early 2000s era Porsches are actually great, and offer a nice contrast to the super-angular headlights we see today to create that aggressive look.

For years I used YNAB and encouraged family to use it too

Then I got into FAANG and switched to buying whatever I want and fully pay off credit cards every month

UNTIL my wants got bigger and bigger - last minute vacations, concerts, a lot of “experience” stuff coming out of covid lockdowns

And now, RSUs are down , I spend more than I bring in each month, started drawing down on cash savings - YOLO - still driving a Camry though

I need a budget again
Thanks for the reminder to schedule my flu shot!
I guess I must be wrong, but I'll never understand why Coke needs that much advertising. Or anything "that well known". The argument is maybe they are that well known because of advertising, but I just don't think that's the case. Maybe for a crappy product, but not a good product.

With Coke it's the quality (and consistency) of the product. I've never tasted anything "as good" as Coke. A new fresh cold can has a bite that simply nothing else has.

4 billion a year on advertising something everyone knows about...

You're trying to find rational behaviour in gambling: most gambling is not rational. I don't know of any statistics specific to options, but there's other financial instruments, like CFDs, that have heavy regulations in some countries because of how much people lose: options will probably go that way, too.

For example, if you visit Trading212 and try to use CFDs, you'll see the following warning:

CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 83% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high riskof losing your money.

And yet, Trading212 make huge amounts of money off-of CFDs, despite it being legally required for them to tell people that they will lose their money.
The US was doing much worse stuff during the WW2 era, this was during segregation after all. I don't actually disagree with any of your points. In fact another example is how torture is consistently portrayed in a positive light in hollywood movies (when it's the "good guys" doing it).

My point is that the fact that we are freely having this discussion, and able to access reliable sources of information without government impediment, is in itself very significant in the context of human experience on earth in 2022. The US is still in a situation where we can self-correct. Crying wolf about the state of press freedom is counterproductive and harms the credibility of people working to actually improve things.

For example, what the US is doing to Julian Assange is wrong. However, if Russia had been equally pissed at him they would have simply murdered him long ago. There is still a system within which to work in the US, and pretending it doesn't exist is self-defeating and draws attention away from possible solutions.
> Not once in 500+ flights has anyone ever complained or asked me to sit up - and it wouldn't even cross my mind to ask anyone to do the same!

Exactly! I'm surprised by some of the comments here considering that's it's essentially expected to do it. I wonder if they fly at all.

I'm a frequent flier too, and only one time it happened to me that someone complained (and he was some type of thug).

Also I'm not sure how this affects tall people in particular. Considering the seat angle, I don't think the seat will make contact with the other person knees. It's only an issue when food is served, but at that time it's forbidden to recline.
In many European countries inflation is at 15%

If it reaches 20% that means every 3.5 years your cash reserve loses half its value

Mean someone correct me if I’m wrong I think that is astounding
> Unfortunately, now almost everywhere such rights have been weakened or completely eliminated, without any good justification and without the opposition that such changes deserved.

What do you mean "without any good justification" ? It is for your own good to protect you from terrorists (the bad ones specifically), hate speech (anything which is against the official narative) and child porn. /s

Why would change deserve opposition when it is for your own good and the change is in better [1] ? /s

I have a Samsung Tab S8 Ultra that's US spec and the bootloader is unlocked and it's rooted.

The same goes for phone you buy DIRECT FROM SAMSUNG.

The locked ones are the ones you get from Verizon / AT&T / etc.
The original dotcom implosion was caused by all these "new Internet" companies selling advertising to each other and recognizing that as revenue, even though it was just a swap of ad space that no else wanted. When people figured that out, we had the crash of 2000.

SBF maybe isn't the best quant, but he clearly knows his history.
Which is rather equivalent to income.

Does GDP include any asset? No.
Does include the annual turnover of the economy? Yes

Is similar to the income for a person or the gross income for a company
Would you pick a random bond? The question is if there is a good type of asset. One anyone would just keep.
To your words Druckenmiller "makes money by buying bonds." That involves a) picking them b) selling them and doing both right. I don't think the average person does 30%. If Druckenmiller can send us his tips on the ultimate bond that is inefficient, I am all ears. But I wouldn't know how to pick a mispriced bond myself.

Edit: But yes, you can make money during a recession. If there is a lot of inflation that might not count as much. I don't think I implied you can't with my statement. But even where you place your money is a game then -- think Lehman Brothers taking hedge fund liquidity down with it.
"a grown man started violently shaking and kicking my seat"

there is some percentage of boys that never grow up to be a man... which seems to be growing? Or is it that the internet has just allowed us to all share our experiences with each other easily.

Tho, look at Jan 6th insurrection. The oath keepers seem to be "grown men" larping as seal team 6 under orders from the president. I don't get it.
While I could say banks are equally guilty of doing shady stuff, the truth is banking is hundreds of years old and as such, has regulations and insurance behind it. Not regulating is how we get messes like the Housing Bubble in the 2000s in the US culminating in the crash in 2011. Crypto being a completely new space has no regulation and no checks and balances which leads to messes like this with companies playing around with their assets and unable to repay their customers when they collapse. I suppose the draw of crypto is inherently that it is a wild, freeform space free from government interference for some people I guess
I expect the number of car sales in the US to go down significantly like it has in Europe. Interest rates are one major factor, but another is the electric transition. Anecdotally I know quite a few people that aren't buying new vehicles right now. They're the kind of people that buy a new car every 10 years or so, and are delaying their purchase or buying used. They realize it's a bad idea to buy a new gas car but aren't yet ready to buy an electric car because they don't understand them yet, they're too expensive, have a massive backlog, or don't come in the style/variant they want.
I did cancel my delivery plan a while back and noticed you had to go via support. No excuse for this in 2022 with such a modern setup. Obviously it was to retain me as a customer.
I have the same reaction. Sometimes there's multiple problems that can all be solved at once, and it is like a force multiplier. Often it's from what you could call "outside the box" thinking, where you maybe take a totally different approach.

For example, there's a bug in the login system, again. Ok, we could probably fix it, but this is an old system built by outside contractors (aka "built cheaply, but expensive to maintain"). It's not the first bug, and won't be the last. There's some technical debt in the way it stores unsalted sha1 passwords, password resets work in a way that allows an attacker to effectively lock out accounts and do a DoS. Looking forward we have customers asking about MFA and SSO support that this system just can't do.

"Solve only one problem" philosophy says to just fix the bug. This is a case where replacing the system (whether buy or build) might make more sense. You have to be pragmatic about this of course, because if you can't live with the bug for however long it takes to replace the system, it isn't going to fly.

I'd still advocate some constraint, though: iteration 1 should fix the bug(s) and underlying tech debt, but shouldn't be adding anything new.

Some of the most productive work I do is this style because it's often only a bit more effort. I used "login system" only as an
easy to understand example, it's often more subtle, along the lines of: refactor a class so it has unit tests and fixes 3 other related but low priority bugs at the same time, instead of just patching. Instead of a day, it takes a week, but more value was delivered (other bugs fixed), there's significantly lower chances of bugs in the future (as future dev work happens), and we can reduce or eliminate manual QA on that component. The extra 4 days have saved dozens we'd spend over the next year if we dogmatically stick to "one thing at a time".
