A product isn't going to improve under private equity ownership

Minus the foreign money laundering/bribery and fanatic cult driving up the valuation, what do you think it's actually worth? $200 mil? I am giving it a generous 50x multiple on revenue.

It's been awhile since I've seen one of these. The Tinder of ________ is a vintage meme in tech entrepreneurship.

I mean an "economic surplus" vacuum. There's lots of money to be made doing human and drug trafficking and the whole market in a country just got wiped out. And the citizens there are still poor. So it's only a matter of time before a group fills the void.

I think this reduction in crime is only temporary. You still have a poor country full of desperate people, and it's only a matter of time before the criminal enterprise vacuum gets filled by the next generation. The slate did get wiped clean, but the root cause is still there.

> But the more general idea that the arrangement of the solar system when you were born affects your personality (among other things) -- this is obviously reasonable.

Not even remotely reasonable in any capacity.

People don't want actual returns that aren't sacked with fees and conditions. They want get rich quick schemes. Their financial instrument needs to be counter cultural somehow. And with an affinity for conspiracy theories and no financial literacy, low expense ratio index funds are the enemy.

Where to put excess capital for the average person is a solved problem. People just want to be different.

The steaks where they cut off all of the rotten parts so you're not eating rotten meat? Yeah.

I think about all of the emissions generated from software every day. I feel a little bit better when I refactor an endpoint from a p99 of 3 minute to 3 seconds. Then feel worse when I realize a youtuber canceled out those gains 100x over when they uploaded a 4k clickbait video about some drama happening on Twitch.

I'm just waiting for some kind of real person yet anonymous protocol that gets introduced in the next era of forums.

They don't have a desktop app.

Great... I don't really want to switch off of authy but I don't have much of a choice now.

How to study during an exam? I think you'd be taking it, not studying.

It's more of a broad fear of change/technology/the modern age in Germany. Homeopathy is considered real medicine there even today. Physical paperwork for all of the bureaucracy, and of course the bureaucracy there is legendary. Credit cards fall under a similar umbrella.

Another good example of resilience.

But then back to human scale it's only a few less hydrogen atoms per cubic meter.

The way people drum up language models like a doomsday cult actually had me thinking this was a Qanon related thing when I first heard about it.

My least favorite genre is the 100 papers saying X is bad to eat and 100 saying X is good to eat. Just have common sense and eat everything in moderation. Food absolutists are weird/annoying. Especially the trad-fascist "seed oils and soy bad, red meat good" crowd. Just a bunch of dorks.

Which was 99.9% of the NFT market. I wonder how much of it is the crypto market. Probably not much lower.

Reads like a chatgpt article. Nothing new or insightful or hard to swallow.

This website had tons of grifters shilling it during the peak. A lot of them raised money somehow too.

A car having unnecessary hp is a great example against your point.

Is it all work related goals?

They have a monopoly on venues.

A dream come true. I’ve been asking for this for years.

The houses in the article are selling for millions of dollars. They’re already ultra rich or house poor.

This is just a blogspam ad

People walk 10k steps a day and stay fat because they eat too much.

Third parties will never happen in first past the post elections. 2 parties will have enough of the general platforms to get 51% and 49% of the every single time. And if you’re a voter who can think rationally, you’ll vote for the big party that’s close enough rather than throw your vote away on a 3rd party vote.

If there are any flash in the pan third parties, their platform will get absorbed by the big 2 and it’ll disappear.

A third party is fundamentally irrelevant in the design of our democracy. This poll should be 0% support.

That’s why anyone who wants to be president should be automatically disqualified from running
