Agreed, the stock market is just an easily measurable metric.

When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure. - Goodhart's Law.

Telegram holds the keys, Signal doesn't

I can commit crime via sms, whatsapp, signal or mail.

But you're not allowed to

Now do Zuckerberg and Musk

Facebook, I've been off it for 5ish years now. I miss some connections but I am much happier for it.

Wingers both left and right need to get out of their bubbles. Wingers have no idea what their opposition believe. And attacking centrists is an silly approach to further you're cause. They're literally the people you should be engaging with instead of producing bubbled memes like this.

That's a strawman. I never said the US was operating in a completely free market, I used the VC example because it's relatable. We all remember when Uber and Amazon were cheap and we were told that these new cheap prices were the new norm. Then the VC capital ran out in the case of Uber and the online market was monopolized in the case of Amazon and the prices are now higher because existing competition was destroyed.

It will help keep prices competitive in the long term. Chinese EV makers aren't competing in a free market as they are heavily subsidized by the government. It's no different from what Silicon Valley VCs do, pump loads of capital into a new industry so that it's difficult for any competitors to emerge. Once a company has a monopoly on a market innovation suffers, products stagnate or actively get worse, prices increase with a lack of competition, and the consumer suffers. In the case of EVs, there is the added issue of manufacturing capacity which is important for security. While I would love a cheap new EV now, I would prefer for my children to have sustainable cheap EVs in the future.

Unfortunately in our society women don't get enough opportunities. If we truly care about equality we should be supporting women who want to become serial killers, help them break through that glass ceiling.

Huh, it really makes you think... some people have no idea how to run an experiment or about statistical significance.

Essential RIP. The PH-1 was the best phone I've ever owned

It could also be that Berliners are apparently collecting them 😂

Was it a password reset email?

I'm surprised that Tailscale can't get through, cleaver routing is one of Tailsacle's features. Though I do sometimes have connection issues with Tailscale when running DNS-over-HTTPS on my laptop.

I have no useful advice but much sympathy.

Stateless 65+ English speakers living in countries that use the term "senior citizen" is likely rare

Facebook is the drug. It's addictive, mind altering, exploits dopamine hits, isolates individuals in bad circles, makes you spend longer on the toilet etc. It's literally the blue pill.
