Munger told a story about a secretary they deeply loved and then she died. They thought she couldn't be replaced. Then they realized the new hire was better!

So someone thought it could get to 200k but not 460k? It was foreseeable. It's not a pandemic.

Someone should surely lose their job for letting it come this close.

Edit: You guys have no chill.

SPACs look like free money for the promoter.

Most people claiming they understand (risk, tradeoffs, market, actual adoption) cryptocurrencies are lying to themselves. It's easier to buy $KWEB than read an article written by Vitalik Buterin.

You've posted this twice and it's really looking like a hit job. What does this have to do with no politics at work?

ketamine__··on Google is saving $1B per year as a result of employees working from home
Most employers don't give workers a choice when it comes to open floor plan. And yet everyone sucked it up and did it to pay the bills.

My point is this: If you have to be effective working remotely you will be effective working remotely.

ketamine__··on How India went from a ray of hope to world record for most Covid cases in a day
> On top of this German Chancellor yesterday said that "we allowed India to become a pharma powerhouse but now we have to rethink". This is because India is producing cheaper vaccine.

They are worried the surge in India will delay shipments to the EU. The EU wants cheaper vaccines! That's why they took so long to negotiate the contracts. They thought a vaccine wouldn't be produced in record time and because of that they felt they had a lot of time to negotiate.

> “We now have a situation with India where, in connection with the emergency situation of the pandemic, we are worried whether the pharmaceutical products will still come to us.” [0]

I'm glad we established that.

I'm talking about the healthcare system in general.

If it's so odd you can cease responding if you like. It's pretty clear you can't handle criticism at this point and choose to lash out instead.

HN was slowing down my posts so I edited the one above this one.

What does your response have to do with the quote? It's a clear straw man.

New Zealand and Australia likely won't open until 2023 because vaccination campaigns are slow and public health authorities are afraid of variants. I'm perfectly fine with people in these countries making those decisions. I just think they should be a little more understanding about the rest of the world that prefers open borders to hysteria.

Also:

> Patients with heart attack symptoms and spinal injuries are being forced to wait in ambulances outside hospitals for as long as five hours in what paramedics and the Australian Medical Association have described as a deadly public health emergency.

> Ambulance response times are at their worst since 2016-17 and Ambulance Victoria has instigated emergency protocols – where patients can be instructed to take taxis to hospital instead of waiting for ambulances – three times more this year than in the previous two years combined.

I've been reading a lot about how NZ's health system is overwhelmed too.

I am allowed to criticize other nations just as you have criticized the US. Debate is allowed here.

You're quite rude and unpleasant yourself.

Except you're spreading misinformation. Not everyone was at risk of dying.

You're not sure what I want? I've clearly spelled it out.

ketamine__··on How India went from a ray of hope to world record for most Covid cases in a day
Ah, so fuck depressed people as long as they didn't die?

Also, I said "regardless of suicide statistics." Did you miss that part?

ketamine__··on How India went from a ray of hope to world record for most Covid cases in a day
Because getting one disease doesn't mean you get to condemn the rest of the public to misery? Look at what makes people vulnerable to Covid and you'll understand.
ketamine__··on How India went from a ray of hope to world record for most Covid cases in a day
Not everyone with mental health issues or depression agrees with lockdown regardless of suicide statistics.

> Whereas it's much easier for a W-2 employer to claim IP made in personal time.

I've heard this mentioned a lot but how often does it happen and how much of a risk is it? Employees developing IP in personal time doesn't seem like it would be that common.

ketamine__··on Edward Snowden NFT Sells for $5.4M in Ethereum
I actually don't think that is what happening. I think these DAO's are promotional vehicles to drive an increase in hype and price of the underlying tokens on NFT platforms. There are going to be suckers that come along and help the promoters expand the market.

There are technology gaps like Optimism that are funded by VC's. This is a promotional gap funded by... who knows? But it's likely a fund.

It's more self-promotion by the crypto industry. No, your friends and family aren't rushing out to buy an NFT.

ketamine__··on Dogecoin spikes 300% in a week, stoking fears of a cryptocurrency bubble
Price goes up and it means nothing. BTC's price went up and it still can't be used as cash.

Store of value is a meme invented by influencers on Twitter. They did a damn good job too.
