Yes the fed has taken actions that have suppressed interest rates. This makes it cheaper for everyone to borrow. What companies do with the money (like buyback shares, which is equivalent to a shareholder dividend) is a wholly separate issue

> instead of giving it all to large banks and corporations, who use it for things like stock buybacks.

this is nonsense and has no basis in reality, as far as I know

Cool project! Will follow along

You get it back eventually

Interesting hypothesis but I can't tell if you're being serious

That is my understanding. The property still belongs to the owners

This is nasty, especially the plaintext password leak. I wonder if you could build a chrome extension to monitor for patterns like this — just like at the payloads being sent while you're typing and pattern-match (without keylogging itself, or maybe allow it but keep it open-source)

Is this to protect them from being a vector for span? Making it costly to create new usable Google accounts

Pbd, can anyone really learn to code?

This is adjusted for inflation

Great tool, thanks for building

Housing [land] prices have been grinding higher long before the Great Decline in interest rates

Your claim is very theoretical. In practice, everyone in the world has grown increasingly wealthy, and unemployment levels are lower than ever.

Until there's mass defaults

Thank you :)

You need social key recovery or multi-sig with other trusted parties (lawyers, business partners, etc)

Not to be That Guy, since I'm not a shill, but "Bitcoin solves this" — not really today, except for pure cryptocurrency, but I can imagine a future where ownership of our access to these services is controlled by public blockchains ...

Something tells me a shareholder suit by a foreign company in Chinese court, in connection with not blocking internet traffic, would not go down well for Naspers :D

This is very cool. In a past life, I built a quant + HFT MM trading firm where we did a lot of spread trading. Always thought something like this was needed! Good work

Explainability for an NLP model is well within reach. I predict OpenAI will have something like this in the next 1-2 years

Ok but 95% of people with high BMI are not because of too much muscle... they have muffin tops

My understanding is that most of the cost is driven by outdated and draconian compliance requirements (created by public/government agencies). For example, safety requirements that don't have a threshold but instead require reducing risk "as much as possible" which is equivalent to 0 profit.

I compared the same area in apple vs google maps, the islands don't even show up in google unless you zoom way in. You sure about this?

No, there is massive loss from transmission as a function of distance

Pretty sure their shareholders are doing just fine :D

Insert midcurve meme here. This reads like massive cope.

One thing I've learned the hard way in life is when something goes on for years that I don't quite understand, and yet it keeps growing and getting more popular, usually I'm the one that's wrong.

What will actually happen is QR code menu experiences will get better, and paper menus will ... stay stagnant. A tale as old as time

Stock markets are not zero-sum. Derivatives markets would be, though

Hot dog, no hot dog?
