1270018080··on Denver rent is back to 2022 prices after 20k new units hit the market
The "fuck you got mine" attitude so many homeowners have and deliberate supply restriction to increase property values makes it a smart investment on paper, at the cost of screwing everyone else coming after you.

Remember, this is a good thing. Property values should not outpace inflation.

1270018080··on Kagi Reaches 50k Users
I like the concept of this product but the search results are pretty bad and I really like google maps and flights. It'll take a long time for to be competitive with those features, if ever.
1270018080··on The Polymarket users betting on when Jesus will return

1270018080··on Federal agencies continue terminating all funding to Harvard
One of the organizations that got completely cut off is the Undiagnosed Diseases Network. Which brings together researchers across the country in to find cures to the rarest diseases. And it may just cease to exist, setnences people with rare diseases to die. This administration is responsible for abject evil because a university didn't swear fealty to a genocidal foreign government.
1270018080··on Chongqing, the Largest City – In Pictures
In this context, the “business” is… housing and infrastructure for people to live in and use?

And don’t forget the bigger picture. Businesses are jobs. When a country makes it so hostile for business that most can’t even operate there, that’s wages and tax revenue lost.

The above is how Poland ends up with average apartments 8x the average wage.

I don’t even want to get into the issues with prioritizing cars above people. That’s a whole other topic outside of this.

1270018080··on TikTok is harming children at an industrial scale

Lots of people have been crying housing collapse for the last 15 years too.
1270018080··on How the 2025 US Financial Crisis is Different than 2008
A huge difference the 2025 crisis is done by 1 person over a 2 month span, it was entirely predictable with even a modicum of economic literacy, and entirely avoidable.

Yes 2008 was also avoidable and a lapse in economic judgement, but no one saw it coming until it happened. This one was obvious from the beginning.

1270018080··on World-first experimental cancer treatment paves way for clinical trial
Of course you would make different choices if you could predict the future. But if I only have 1-3 months to live, I am going for Hail Mary treatment options to try to extend that (because I can't predict the future).
1270018080··on Argentina president faces impeachment calls over crypto crash
Anarchocapitalism is just neoliberalism and crypto scams I guess.

I don't care. I just feel for the average American who is looking to buy a car and getting screwed over by corruption.
1270018080··on BYD to offer Tesla-like self-driving tech in all models for free
I wish America was a free market economy that embraced capitalism. The American consumer is getting screwed over and forced to pay more for an inferior product because the government wants to protect the local auto cartel.

1270018080··on SAML: A Technical Primer
Since we're here, I hope someone creates another all encompassing SP/IDP emulator like samltest.id used to until the owner stopped paying. That made my life so much easier as a developer when SAML stuff came up. No one else has come close.
1270018080··on Orion, our first true augmented reality glasses
Why would you want to wear these? I don't care about the way it looks, but why would you want actaully AR glasses?
1270018080··on X and Starlink face $1M in daily fines for alleged ban evasion in Brazil
The misinformation and regulation dodging is happening right now, and the functioning Brazilian government is taking steps to stop it. So we should just be happy with the small win as a citizens of the world.

> If [politican you don't like] had the power to consider his misinformation to be truthful and truthful information to be misinformation would you still be in support of this?

If an evil person is trying to rewrite reality from their position of power, you'd hope the checks and balances in the government prevent them from doing so. While the Brazilian government can stop misinformation from spreading, they can also allow real information to continue to spread.

But if we go down this reductive doomsday scenario all the way to the bottom, where there are evil people stacked from top to bottom, your nation failed a long time ago. And maybe part of the blame sits on the people preaching do-nothingness and requiring a perfect system of laws and governance before taking action.

1270018080··on X and Starlink face $1M in daily fines for alleged ban evasion in Brazil
