@RobVanBatenburg@charliebilello I think it's an interesting comparison. US Railroad companies built lines outside of United States in the 1800s as well (mexico, Panama). It will get really interesting if we go back to a Pre-Fed environment of unregulated boom and bust
@Macropulse98@KobeissiLetter I've been waiting since Jan 2025 for the 10/2 yield curve to deliver. Put together with the nonfarm payroll curve, I think it was just a little early. What's 18 months when you are going to loose a decade?
In total, the nation’s top 25 philanthropists have donated $275 billion so far in their lifetimes, an uptick of $34 billion over last year.
Not generous enough to make the top 25 cut: Elon Musk and Larry Page, the world’s two richest people, who together are worth more than $1 trillion. https://t.co/LBHV8294gB

The barrel-shaped structures found by the thousands in most animal cells are one of biology’s biggest mysteries. But although researchers haven’t figured out the function of these “vaults,” they now report a new use for the puzzling particles.

@NobelPrize "High-through-put, low input, no output". One of my favorite quotes. He was a classic scientist who believed in the power of human intellect and observation.
@biocheMichael@ChrisDLites@Rainmaker1973 Im definitely going to read up on these. I think some species of bacteria have these empty structures that are likely derived from "vestigial" phages. Can't remember what they are called. It's a wild world
@biocheMichael@ChrisDLites@Rainmaker1973 I was wondering if they could be remnants of a virus structural gene. This could potentially allow horizontal transfer across species (ages ago) and could explain why distant species have "conserved" vaults?
