@Mike_Stelzner I use Copilot because I’m a corporate type and spend most of my time in Microsoft tools. After I make major updates to Agents, etc. I tell it to write out a prompt for me to recreate itself. I was more worried about me screwing it ip than a tech glitch. But works in both cases.

@tom_peters I’ve been reading your stuff since my 20’s. I’ll be turning 54 in a few days. It seems to get more relevant (rather than less relevant) every year. Thank you for your service @tom_peters, in both business and the military. You’re the best we’ve got!

@dhh Just curious if you use Omarchy as your only computer - meaning for non development tasks. For example - is Omarchy your daily driver for web browsing, Netflix watching, etc.? I’m not a developer, but I love what you’re doing - just wondering if you view Omarchy for pedestrians.

@jasonfried Good stuff. I’m not sure if you think about it this way, but for decades you’ve been open sourcing the business side of Basecamp (the company) in the same way @dhh open sourced Ruby on Rails.

@jasonfried Smart and very fair!

@jasonfried @MaxKearney114 @FrameworkPuter I don’t know much about displays - only that my Apple MacBook Air display is great. Is the XPS as good? Or better?

@dhh It would be great for us corporate types if Microsoft built Office for Linux like they do for MacOS. Apparently Windows only accounts for 5% of Microsoft revenues - so maybe now is the time.

@tiredkebab @Salakhov @dhh @vaxryy @tobi @patrickc @MichaelDell @jack @eastdakota @brendaniribe @jasonfried @OmarchyMac Will it work on iMac M1?

@bavedikian @BestBuy @FedEx Just curious why you chose BestBuy rather than Amazon? Amazon makes everything very easy.

It decreases consumption. As a result, the standard of living for American families will decrease. If fewer MacBooks are sold, Apple’s profits take a hit, which will lead to a drop in their stock price. Since pension funds and 401(k)s are heavily invested in the stock market, a decline in stock prices will negatively affect these retirement savings. As people have less money to spend due to reduced savings and lower investment returns, they may cut back on purchasing items like MacBooks, creating a cycle where fewer units are sold and the economic impact worsens. Now, multiply this same effect across more companies than Apple.

@R_Thaler @CliffordAsness Who cares what you think? I’d only listen to a Nobel winning economist….. oh wait a minute.

Tariffs can cause cost-push inflation, raising the cost of goods in the economy. This can lead to reduced consumption and a lower standard of living. The supply curve is affected by higher input costs (due to tariffs), which causes the supply curve to shift left, leading to a lower equilibrium quantity. Cross-price elasticity shows that consumers may substitute higher-priced products with lower-cost alternatives, but this only applies when such substitutes are available. You might be referring to General Equilibrium Theory, but keep in mind that the presence of substitutes and market structure are key caveats. Broad tariffs (unlike specific ones) reduce the potential of cost-stable substitutes.

@luisfemuziotti @JefferyParkins2 @jaltucher @jpartyof6dad Isn’t it possible that overall consumption decreases?

[Adam Perlow @aperlow]

@rich15w @elonmusk Not really, other than a fantastic hotel iron review site.

@stevesi You’ve got haircut right, but the platform wrong.

[Adam Perlow @aperlow]

@msuster What a horrific tragedy. Best wishes to you and everyone else affected.

[Adam Perlow @aperlow]

@msuster Hoping for the best for you.

I’m a big fan, Ryan. Super useful - especially classifying flights as your own or friends. I use it to track my flights, my kids flights, and sometimes even my colleagues’ flights when they are visiting from out of town.

I’m glad to say I’m not racking up the business flights as fast as was a few years ago.

I agree with you. This seems perfectly aligned with their expertise. The technology is already there—their real win would be in seamlessly integrating it all within their ecosystem. That said, I don’t see a lack of quality hardware available in the market, although I’m sure they’d develop great stuff and capture a good chunk of share for these devices.
