Would have been a good article a month ago. Now, from today's Bloomberg:

The most-active investors in the Treasury market are as bullish as they’ve ever been, according to a weekly survey conducted by JPMorgan Chase & Co. since 1991.

JPMorgan’s Treasury client survey for the week ended Nov. 27 found that 78% of active clients were positioned long relative to their benchmark, up from 56% the previous week. None of them were positioned short for a second straight week, for a 78% net long position that was the biggest in the history of the survey. The remaining respondents were neutral.
The article is about Treasury bonds (maturities of 20-30 years), not Treasury notes (maturities of 2-10 years) or bills (maturities <= 1 year). You're holding Treasury bills. This is a technicality, but one that matters in the context of the article and this comment thread. The article's saying that investors are dumping Treasury bonds (long-term securities) for Treasury bills (short-term securities) which pay higher interest rates at lower risk levels. Your post is corroborating it.
I think this is the entire idea aimed at curbing inflation, right? If the government can't borrow money, they can't spend money. If they can't spend money, suppliers won't invest in upgrading their factories (or hiring more expensive programmers, or whatever). The companies that make factory upgrades won't be buying things. Workers anywhere in the value chain aren't going to get raises or bonuses, and thus won't be buying anything. Since they're not buying anything, companies that make those things won't be expanding. With too many things and not enough buyers, prices go down so the things can be gotten rid of. That all is the entire idea; in 2020, we panicked and gave everyone free money. They used it to bid up the price on everything. "I'm scared I might not be able to wipe my butt, so sure, I'll buy a $20 roll of toilet paper. It's not even real money that I worked for!" Now toilet paper costs $20. Because people valued their money less than they used to, the price of things they valued increased.

Now the Fed is trying to correct that effect, by making it hard to get money, so people value it more. By all accounts, it's worked. Inflation is under control, and outside of the software field, the economy is going great (even with two wars going on). People just aren't tripping over each other to bid up the price of anything and everything anymore. That's exactly the intended effect.

I definitely like it when everyone has free money. People can't make money by parking it in savings accounts, so they have to go out into the world and hire people to make them crazy stuff to sell. As someone who makes stuff, I think this great!

I think the author of this article feels the same way, but doesn't think it's a temporary correction, but rather the end of America as we know it. I doubt this is the end of America as we know it. Rather, we're just pumping the brakes on a bubble before the bubble pops. Eventually the government will want to buy stuff, people will loan them money at a lower rate, and the whole cycle begins anew. Note to self: next time, buy a house when rates are 2%.

But of course the truth is it’s a 42 year old (avg) man (91%) that makes $88,716 per year so you’re NOT wrong.

But the idea that Jeff Bezos got where he is because of hard work is inverted. Many work hard, few become billionaires. So what is wrong with the argument of los dos?

This: it may be true that hard work is generally a prerequisite for becoming a billionaire, it is a correlation and not causative effect. The cause of billionaires is wealth concentration itself and a system of overly generous tax advantage for equity owners. That is why the majority of billionaires have sprung from finance and investments — highly leveraged paper wealth from paper products — and not from the likes of Amazon.

I subscribe to the idea that billionaires are a product of the tax system and not the result of some kind of superhuman top-of-heap exceptional personal merit.

Another of Unity’s big plays goes up in flames. I must admit I really didn’t understand what the plan was for Weta. At the time of the deal it sounded like in five to 10 years Unity would become a realtime movie effects company competing with Unreal.

I think the more defensible statement would be that in the long run, the engineer would end up at $15m/hr. Even that is not a guarantee, since burger flippers and engineers are not interchangeable.

This analysis is missing huge path dependence and varying time lags (i.e. the Cantillon effect). If the minimum wage doubles over night, sure engineer salaries will rise, but with a large lag, since wages tend to be sticky. So the ratio would fall from 15:1 to 7.5:1 overnight, and then slowly recover (over the course of years, likely).

And that's assuming that the previous [lower] wage was not artificially suppressed via monopoly / monopsony power or something (which is definitely possible within a single industry)

In addition to getting in on the 'value investing' train early, they built their fortunes because they were there with capital in the 1960s, the best time to begin a 'buy and hold' strategy.

Back in the '60s and '70s, stock market capitalization grew roughly in line with GDP. But from the 1980s onwards, it grew at a level that far outpaced GDP growth [0]. So investors who were already wealthy in the '60s had the capital necessary to take advantage.

i'm sure there's some cases where mounting storage as a disk is desirable, but from my perspective "systems can mount it as a drive" is a negative, not a positive.

treating storage as an application-controlled thing that doesn't need systems management is a good thing. i want "put this file in this spot" logic in my application code, not "put this file in this spot on the filesystem, and hope that location is backed by the correct storage layer"

To me hearing 17% "at risk of" poverty but 38% not able to have 3 meals per day on a regular basis due to financial constraints is just confusing. I've always felt like poverty has too broad a coverage as a term. It can mean anything from not having the same amount of spending money as others in the region to borderline starvation.

NO one is being abused by customers in any literal way. The abuse comes from coerction of losing a job by complaining to mgmt. v. directing their complaints to the ones that are supposed to supplant the 2.13/h that the STATE mandates. Thsi is not strictly an employer's fault, so hard to blame them for not giving a s**. It's a political deficiency in enforcing living wages as a baseline of income instead of 2.13/h. That's developing world wages, not US wages, or should be, if it weren't the reality.

They can only do this if they're starting from a decent financing scenario, which they hardly ever are. Most of the companies founded this way have to do work-for-hire projects, and that relies on a "Goldilocks" work pipeline where there isn't too much or too little, because either extreme threatens payroll or creates staffing pressure.

A company that gets a fat check to go conquer the world is one that is engaged with the demands of the investment market to seek maximal growth or ROI or whatever metric the investors are looking for. This is derived from the overall investment landscape, which went from "easy money" to "infinite money" during the pandemic. When you are in an infinite money environment your goal is, essentially, to consolidate everything you see into your org. The only thing small players can do is try to get acquired.

As long as the brakes are on the dollar, the trend will stay reversed and companies will downsize to fit a smaller capital structure.

IMHO, this is a crippling ideology, that crushes people's ability for self-compassion. This, in turn, destroys their ability to trust themselves, since they are so used to hearing themselves reflexively take out their distress on themselves with words like 'in any way, it's always your fault'.

And if you believe that actually happens I’ve got a bridge in London to sell you.

Every person I’ve ever met who has ever lived on tips has been hosed on this. Employers will just adjust your hours to make the math work out rather than paying you more money. There’s a reason wage theft is a $50 billion dollar a year grift (though that’s not limited to just tipped employees).
I didn't read it but am still participating.

Since I've been aware of this story for quite some time, the fact that it finally happened is all that really matters to me (which the headline covers, assuming it's correct). I probably know all the details already, unless something really unexpected happened.
That's not too far off, actually. Airborne radar as recently as the F-14 needed time to "settle down" an extrapolated track after maneuvering, to the point that they could give false indications of targets changing heading. This phantom turn looked aggressive and contributed to the US downing 2 Libyan fighter jets in 1989.

Fermyon Advent of Spin
When I was in middle school I found my mom’s 1984 edition of Nineteen Eighty-Four. The back cover had some phrase like “engrossing from the first sentence to the last 4 words.”

If the cover had just said “engrossing from beginning to end” it wouldn’t have tempted me, but specifically saying “4 words” made it irresistible!

I think I made it through half of the book before I broke down and skipped to the end. It’s undoubtedly a spoiler, but certainly not an unexpected twist.

I still finished the book and was indeed engrossed by the concepts for a few years.
No, I remember energy prices going up way before Ukraine war. Starting in the summer of 2021 we had multiple energy providers going bankrupt.

Am I the first one to point out that movie exhibition is a lousy business?

This place has wait service, which is kind of a desperate way to avoid the aforementioned problem. Movie theaters everywhere are closing because the economics suck; people prefer to watch movies at home, now that viewing quality is excellent and the movies all come to streaming after a couple months, and the audience ruins the experience for everyone else anyway.

A better example would be a regular sit-down restaurant, which is sometimes a decent business (although most of them fail anyway). It's also easier to analyze profit & loss.
These web "devs" should know that GET is idempotent and you shouldn't create magic links that work with a GET request.

Also, Bingbot visiting your site does not mean that the link will end up in search results. They probably haven't bothered changing the user agent string for the bot that crawls links in emails.
I think the larger point is that public capital markets have become steadily more efficient. There are no "value stocks" anymore because nothing is overlooked by the market, those old opportunities have been arbitraged away. Modern computing systems have made it practical to look at every stock every day, so all stocks now trade at their "true worth" because all publicly available information gets instantly priced in.

Now pretty much the only way for investors to (legally) beat the market is to do proprietary research in ways that others can't easily copy. You need information that no one else has.
Sure, some speech isn’t protected. You can’t threaten the President for example.

But the fact is, the question of whether speech is or is not allowed is far too often a matter of commercial viability rather than objective political value. Look no further than Kanye West being “cancelled” only after a long history of racism and idiotic remarks. The profitability of his Yeezy shoes bought him a lot more free speech than you or I would ever be granted.

Couple that with the fact that healthcare is usually at the mercy of your employer, and very few people in the U.S. truly have the liberty to say what they really think. And before you say there’s nothing worth saying which you would be fired for, ask yourself how long you could maintain good graces if you were known to be promoting unionization.
