@holliemaea You're all overthinking it. It hasn't been worth it for a few days a year, now that's changing, and so people are doing what they always do, and trying to justify to themselves not to make an expensive change.

@BurgerMetNuance @Scienceseur De bevolking groeide tussen 2015 en 2024 met zo’n 6%, maar het aantal mensen in overheidsdienst nam in diezelfde periode met bijna 32% toe. Dan mag je toch wel concluderen dat daar iets scheef zit?

Met €1.800 vrijstelling en ~7% historisch rendement betaal je bij €100k spaargeld voor je eerste huis al >27% belasting op je rendement. Net genoeg voor een aanbetaling op een gemiddeld huis van ~€500k, en toch al wereldtop qua vermogensbelasting. #box3

@dchidyllo @Kevin_Root The first $250k ($500k if filing jointly) in capital gains on primary residence are exempted though. Perhaps an argument for allowing the losses exceeding $250k on a home to be deducted, but I'm guessing that's an extreme outlier anyway.

@bbogar @EricTeetsel You know it already exists for salaries less than 184k, right?

[DarkosNightmare @DarkosNightmare]

@EricKLein_ What is with these nonsensical comparisons lately? Just look at the data, median wealth in France is literally 25% higher than the US: https://t.co/3ctnzT5Z5M

And much of the rest of northern Europe is also ahead.

@MKEBucks91 @huskyXBT You think that SpaceX could easily be worth $1.75 quadrillion in 10-20 years?

[DarkosNightmare @DarkosNightmare]

@ChrissGPT Looks great! Now how is it fun?

[DarkosNightmare @DarkosNightmare]

@kieradev Right, that's kind of my point. The devil's in the details.

[DarkosNightmare @DarkosNightmare]

@kieradev It feels like a whole bunch of people are about to (rediscover) the 90/10 rule. Getting these, admittedly impressive, proofs-of-concept to something shippable will take a lot more work than expected. Shipping a good game (or really any product) is about a lot more than code.

[DarkosNightmare @DarkosNightmare]

@DogePolaroid @crsanchezx Ok... then how do you explain the countries that polled low in happiness?

[DarkosNightmare @DarkosNightmare]

@crsanchezx These "terrible" countries are basically half of the top 13 happiest countries in the world...

@danielvasilios @Skeptisk370324 @Apple But we're discussing your data, not Apple's. Apple is deciding here that even if you wanted to use a competing service and give it access to *your* data, you can't, because only Apple should have that privilege.

[DarkosNightmare @DarkosNightmare]

@danielvasilios @Skeptisk370324 @Apple But it's *my* core system, not Apple's, right? Or are we just fine with not really owning our devices?

[DarkosNightmare @DarkosNightmare]

@z0r0zzz @chang_defi Umm, Ethereum has won by almost every metric.

[DarkosNightmare @DarkosNightmare]

@DefiIgnas What a disingenuous take. Let's just compare the ecosystems secured by ATOM and ETH (not unrelated Cosmos and EVM chains) The Ethereum TVL is roughly 6,000 times larger. Terrible FUD, try again.

[DarkosNightmare @DarkosNightmare]

@virtualbacon That all assumes that stakers / validators are fine with never changing anything. Ultimately ETH economics will be adjusted to provide an attractive return vs. risk-free, it's not a charity.

[DarkosNightmare @DarkosNightmare]

@0xJav @virtualbacon It's 2015, I have a big allocation of Uber but I don't see any of the major taxi companies using Uber which is a concern.

[Influence @influenceth]

To call lot repossessions in Influence a controversial feature would be an understatment. Well, it's changing. Check out the proposal and share your thoughts: https://t.co/HihtJnFlje
