Internet law: never disclose that you are a landlord

I think any government has q 2% chance of collapse at any moment

too bad there's not a prediction market on this on a platform like Kalshi so we could see more clearly the odds

when I was growing up my father tried to get the attention of my sister watching saturday morning cartoons. After the third attempt, he just threw away the TV, and so I grew up most of my childhood with no TV

what do you mean by falling off mount stupidity, especially at work?

I thought it was power & wealth, fairly easy to capture in a profile

what about tests?

Seems like your reasoning for how the next 2 years will go is a little slanted. And everyone in this thread is neglecting any demand issues stemming from market cycles.

I like the shape of your prose!

i mean, we all have the algorithm tailored to what we want to see, so the parent comment here is kind of a moot point, right?

Does this have implications for gaming? I know character models with lots of "accessories" clip into walls and the character body very often, and from what I gathered, the belief was that this was a hard and manual problem to solve.

To be fair, while some of the pre-recipe garbage is garbage, not all of it is total filler. Sometimes I read it.

“12 months free credit monitoring with auto-renewal”.

It’s odd that no one installs these in the US!

But isn’t software engineering one of the easiest domains to self-learn? I don’t know of any other profession that has such vast amounts of completely free resources online.

I mentioned this point on a HN post a few months ago and someone said that the Voyager was launched at a very beneficial time, leveraging some gravitational pull of some celestial body, so it’s unlikely we can just make a faster ship and catch up/surpass it.

There are loads of manufacturers that still do this. Go to any furniture row, you’ll see the Ikea parking lot is full, the rc willey parking lot less so, and the premier quality furniture brands parking lots nearly empty.

Is it less likely even if we can view the marbles in the air from any angle?

There are well talked about cons to shipping so fast, but on the bright side, when everyone is demanding more, more, more, it pushes cost down and demands innovation, right?

In Switzerland I believe they have a noise ordinance on Sundays - no loud noises, incl. especially things like lawn mowers allowed on Sundays.

At the very least it led me to some self-reflection, was a short read, and very entertaining.

Does libreoffice do hotkeys similar to excel/powerpoint?

Free datadog tshirt -> free (ish)marketing for datadog

Even easier to scan organic tomatoes as regular ones, similarly with other fruit/vegetables. The “self check out discount”

Practicing marital arts is serious business, this is surprising!

There’s a good paper on how effective networking and “weak ties” is for getting a job. It’s silly that this person is blaming AI resume parsers. https://edisciplinas.usp.br/pluginfile.php/4865899/mod_resou...

Is a more generic version of this argument be that there will always be a need for smart/experienced people?

You won't stop until everybody is reading your blog

This is kind of a silly question. In essence you're asking why people do things that other people find stupid (I agree it's pretty bad to see that).

I want to recommend two books on this subject, of contrasting if not tangential subject matter. “Debt: the first 5000 years” by David Graeber and “This time is different” by Reinhart and Rogoff. They differ drastically in perspective, but both discuss capitalism with a very long- term view. To respond to the posts above, I want to say that it almost always feels like a rollercoaster ride when up close, and that financial “innovation” and liberalization usually leads to corrections of varying degrees.
