wrong! we are now entering in to the total opposite - ZIRP by default with only periodic phases of rate increases to "correct"

when the next recession hits we will be back at ZIRP and stay there for years

welcome to the forever-MMT economy

Because he didn't scream at people, leave used needles in the street, or pass out in gutters.

Fifteen-Minute Cities and Chat Control are brought to you by the same people

what you get out of this is Democrats like Newsom and Pritzker - nonentities standing for nothing but hating Trump

what happens the day after a protest vote? you won, there's nothing to protest

soldiers with no combat experience lead by officers with no combat experience

their military will eventually be great, but very few nations gain combat experience cheaply

You can if you know what to fill from other sources.

Like, the grill of a car. If we know the make and year, we can add detail with each zoom by filling in from external sources

been the case since the F16, which was the first to have such a characteristic

consumer versions of this pistol do not have a manual safety

they have internal safety mechanisms to prevent discharge, and these are important if you carry with a round chambered - in a striker-fired pistol, the firing pin is under tension and is only being restrained by the trigger and internal safeties

this is why I do not carry with a round chambered, if you appendix carry and something goes wrong, you will be missing an important appendage

could people stop posting the same thing over and over again? its been said a million times and all of the upvotes were handed out

repeating the same karma-farming copy isn't even mid at this point

there are already ways in to the US for people who want to pay

Trump's "golden ticket" for example

The war ends when Ukraine realizes it isn't worth losing 100% of your country to try to save 20% already lost

Between the "slava Ukraine" cheerleading, no one...not the EU, US or UN has a realistic plan for restoring Ukraine to it's 2020 borders

no one is

look at what Covid did to the US

multiply that by 100 for a war with China

both the US and China are very fragile, war would mean Greatest Depression^2

another attempt to get a defibrillator on the last remaining lisp-like

just move on folks

be actually gifted

this is what gifted looks like, not legions of students who are told they are "gifted" but are just pretty smart

great people and vision, but the hardware market went apoplectic for GPUs at scale just as they were pushing a better way to manage VMs

in the midst of everyone making a land grab for GB200s, does anyone have time to evaluate their alternative OS?

Americans aren't choosing the EVs available. Why would Ford make more?

I am in the market for a new car soon. No real cost constraints. I have no interest in an EV. Why am I supposed to be envious of the Chinese?

the Left only cares about men who wear a dress

they've even figured out how to alienate feminists who are now derided as "TERFs"

given what they are up against (Trump), Dems should have something like a 98% approval rating as an opposing force, yet they still struggle...think about it

overthink. there is no master plan. if Tim Cook had a master plan, you would have been driving an Apple Car by now

they don't know why, they only know spewing drive-by perl hate is easy upvote fodder for midwits who can't think of anything reasonable to contribute

youtube is FLOODED with free fitness content, I mean, you could workout for five years and never see the same video twice

its all evergreen - crunches from five years ago are just as good today

everyone I know who worked as a personal trainer has moved out of the industry

endless free resources out there

and then the content connected to devices like Peloton etc

not sure how you can make a buck in this business

want to track your progress? look in the mirror or guesstimate

most people who think they are in the "middle ground" are actually unhealthy, because they end up comparing themselves to the outliers of the morbidly obese or those with absolutely terrible diets

good! just demolish their old HQ in L'Enfant Plaza, all of which is a national embarrassment of cheap, demoralizing, poorly-rendered wannabe brutalism and shitty 80s dead-tech modern

there are already alternatives to SpaceX products

reaching an altitude of 300 meters

...but this isn't one of them, yet

never

if you can't unionize FAANG, there is no point, its like the UAW but they never got into GM or Ford

you will never unionize FAANG:

the highest paid ICs will see no point, a union is just leveling them down and forcing them to join ranks with people they don't really care that much about

the lowest tiered employees are fungible and can be terminated before they can organize

HN will want to reflexively downvote this, but think it through...how do you unionize the entire engineering dept at a place like Apple? its not possible

I doubt it. At some point, a Great Power will inform a Lesser Power that robot war will not be tolerated and will result in the loss of a major population center.

Lesser Power will doubt the threat, call the bluff, and future Lesser Powers will not assume that robot war can be waged without risk.

Everyone is high-fiving Ukraine...but the West won't be there to help when Russia responds (which is surely being planned now). For some reason, saying obvious things like "Russia will respond" offends HN and it isn't clear why.

your grandparents probably read for entertainment instead of tiktok

your grandparents were more physically active - brain and body are connected

your grandparents didn't eat ultra processed food because it hadn't been invented yet...once again, brain and body are connected

then "workers" will want to go out on their newly-free Friday and have a coffee and some lunch with friends...and those workers better damn well be there to serve them!

if the USD sinks, the entire world sinks

backing off the USD is a hundred year project...you need an currency from a relatively open and law-bound Great Power that has demonstrated its staying power through conflict

there isn't anyone else who fits the bill...yet

there most definitely will be a $25k Tesla...its called the CyberTruck...they keep piling up on lots unpurchased, and Tesla keeps making more!

you think I'm joking?

but if you look at bond yields, there really isn't that much of a freakout

something like the "Big Beautiful Bill" is going to pass, so its not like the bond market is working in a vacuum

anecdotally, if the world didn't meltdown at the outrageous levels of ten, twenty, thirty trillion in debt...why would the world all of a sudden collapse at forty trillion in debt? if debt was a timebomb, it should have detonated decades ago
