Stocks historically haven't performed well during periods of high inflation.

You're just parroting a headline. They did not actually make a profit in Q2 when you take all of their expenses into account.

Humans are inherently religious, whether you see it or not. We all worship something.

What does that have to do with the conversation here?

One of the reasons people don't drink anymore is because they don't go out with their friends that much.

We're a very lonely generation.

Same, Astra is extremely RL fried, and nobody is talking about it. I used Astra for a few days on my personal project, and load times went from less than 3 seconds to almost 30 seconds because it kept using the wrong sync primitives and bad architecture overall.

It's endless comments like this that make me feel like it's the minority that's sane, which reaffirms the author's point.

Is it for a sustainable future, or just extracting maximum value from the user?

Agents are relatively easy to influence. What's to stop them from being prompt injected to hand over all of their money?

What would it take for them to add a spring to the hinge? I would love a foldable that opens with a flick of the wrist without the need to pry it open.

This has little to do with NY governing NY. NY was attempting to govern Kalshi in other states, which it doesn't have the authority to do.

My computer freezes for 2-3 seconds when I try to open the volume panel and there are ads everywhere on Win 11. It's like Microsoft wants to wipe every good memory I've ever had with past Windows experiences and just accept the present.

Mozilla if you're listening - now's your chance; please bring it back. We actually have a reason to switch now.

All you did was offer your arbitrary opinion without any supporting argument or anecdotal evidence and suggested we should fix it with more taxes.

If you're going to offer an opinion contrary to the majority, you should at least have a convincing argument why.

No it's not. I'm replying to the guy that said "That used to be true", because it's obviously not true.

> That used to be true

No, that used to be believed to be true. We're just seeing the curtain come down.

The food pyramid, the CIA's "war on drugs" in South America, the wars with Iraq, Libya.. Just to name a few. Why do we pretend like bribery and corruption is this new thing?

I'm working on what I hope to be a high-performance voxel engine from scratch in Rust in my free-time.

Cubic chunks, full lighting engine, opting to be non-deterministic, everything is unsigned integer math except for rotation and rendering, multiplayer is mostly implemented, built to be able to handle heavy simulation.. the foundation work is almost done. Right now it's just a hobby to try to build the best thing I can build. I work on it because it's fun.

Tired of this copy-paste comment. It shows up on literally every lawsuit thread.

If they have good reason - they should tear down, even if it is the popular thing to do. But you do need good reason, which most people don't.

I imagine that being within the thralls of a $3T company could be very comfortable.

I love Indian food, but I still don't want to live in India.

Frustrating that you're being down-voted, because this is a very valid point.

For the thousandth time - yes objective reality exists, but this is a terrible idea because the core problem becomes; who gets to decide what objective reality is? And no, I'm not kidding. Some things seem obvious, but people tend to forget obvious things, especially during periods of mass psychosis.

Correct that OP did not imply those things, but a lot of people will read it that way. There are implications behind the implications, and I think that DiffEq is referencing the latter. I'm not taking a side in this fight.

Decentralization - sorry about that in-house lingo.

I think that was kind of the point? The political right in America felt that a "good reputation" was costing us too much. They seem to care about other things more than their reputation.

I've been thinking about it for a while; and that's exactly the thing I've been questioning for some time. I'm not as convinced as I was that more knowledge equals a better life. I reflect back on how much time I've spent on countless hours of useless YouTube binges. I've wasted so much time on the internet that could have been spent on things that would have made me happier.

Even more unpopular opinion: it's highly debatable that internet access increases the quality of life for most people.

I hope AoE2 lives as long as Chess does. It really is one of the "perfect" games.
