RIP banks
arberx··on U.S. Inflation Eased to 5% in March
Central banks embarked on the largest and fastest hiking cycle in a long time.

Nothing at all transitory about it.

arberx··on Apple’s plunge in PC shipments is steepest among major computer makers
True. However, Apple is currently priced at 30x P/E. Lots of growth is priced in.
arberx··on Apple’s plunge in PC shipments is steepest among major computer makers
So the stock should regress to the mean by this logic since it's up 100% since then?
arberx··on Accenture slashes 19,000 jobs worldwide
I honestly can't believe there are so many consultants.
arberx··on Block's Response to Inaccurate Short Seller Report
They called out Nikola.
arberx··on Block's Response to Inaccurate Short Seller Report
Profiting off your research isn't a crime. Others choosing to act/believe it isn't up to Hindenburg.

There's a reason they're listened to in the space.

arberx··on Block's Response to Inaccurate Short Seller Report
pretty weak
arberx··on Amazon to lay off 9,000 more workers after earlier cuts
Most people are still in their severance period. Expect panic in the next couple of quarters.
arberx··on Maybe treating housing as an investment was a mistake
That implies housing has risks. Since 2009, that risk has been eliminated by the FED owning 30% of all mortgages on its balance sheet.

We've nationalized housing risk and privatized the gains.

Its because they have no net neutrality.

"Today is a sad day for all tiktokies..."

Whats the difference between this and a chroot?
arberx··on A16Z is the “worst and largest” scammer of all, says CEO of Swan Bitcoin (2022)
This dude calls Vitalik a scammer. While he might make some good points about A16Z, that viewpoint alone ruins his credibility for me.
arberx··on Telemetry is now optional in Warp
You should make users CHOOSE to provide their login/identity by giving them features that improve the experience: e.g, synchronized settings across all terminal sessions.

It should be optional.

arberx··on Fine-grained locking with two-bit mutexes
An efficient spinlock relies on a good kernel scheduler. I imagine that's the biggest hindrance to performance in a multicore system.
arberx··on A new CMake Scripting Language?
Please, god, not another CMake "improvement"...
arberx··on How stdbuf works
Great article!

You can also use std::flush to get this behavior by default in the program.

arberx··on Stripe laying off around 14% of workforce
So many BS roles at all these companies. I imagine we see a lot more of this going into Q4 when next year's budgets are finalized.
arberx··on US debt: Federal interest payments could soon exceed military spending
"That didn't happen in England."

That is precisely what happened. No market buyers for GILTS because tax cut play jeopardized future debt obligations by the government.

arberx··on US debt: Federal interest payments could soon exceed military spending
Up to congress to balance budgets. Markets will force their hand if they have to (see England).
arberx··on How rate hikes are affecting the economy
Good. That's the point.
arberx··on U.S. workers have gotten less productive – no one is sure why
Can I be naive and argue a simple explanation?

Cheap money the last 13 years = hire more people who do less and get paid more. Or even hiring people for positions that aren't needed.

arberx··on US Supreme Court to weigh end to race-based college admissions
Imagine if our meritocracy valued basketball skills above anything else.
arberx··on US Supreme Court to weigh end to race-based college admissions
A true meritocracy wouldn't be a friendly world to live in.

Think about the current state of education. Parents with resources over-optimize their kids' education because they understand the inefficiencies in the system and/or understand what it takes to become successful in our society.

arberx··on Apple Reports Fourth Quarter Results
> AAPLE has $23B in cash, down 1/3 from this time last year. Mostly given back to investors. Probably nothing to worry about here:)

This is the lowest cash level since 2014. Actually, concerning going into potentially a recession.

arberx··on A global house-price slump is coming?
Prices are already down in many places, and it's only been 5 months since rates started rising.

Many factors to supply imbalance. Look at the increase in the amount of Airbnbs since 2010.

People might be reluctant to sell, but they might need to when they can't rent, Airbnb, or lose their job.

arberx··on Chainalysis CTO said blockchain is easier to trace than paper money
Sounds like you've never used a DeFi application...Yes, the bridging between on-chain/off-chain still happens through centralized entities, but things like uniswap are entirely run on-chain and don't require any central authority or centralized ledger.
arberx··on Meta Quest Pro
Only has 2 hours of battery life...
arberx··on Do central banks’ mounting losses actually matter?
Hard not to bring up the usefulness of crypto in times like these...
