First the Fed printed trillions.
Then denied inflation was happening.
Then said it was transitory.
Then suddenly sent rates to the moon.
That crashed much of the economy.
Debris to start falling this year.
Banks, real estate, blue states.
Then…pressure to print will resume.

@levelsio @linode Before the acquisition @linode would cut prices / give free upgrades every year. I guess those days are over.

@a_a @garru @joyousx This was before we had undelete tweet so @j3h @mjeffryes @BingW11 and everyone were writing and running scripts from our laptops to modify tflock and tweet storage to get the tweets back.

@a_a @garru @joyousx What a bug! Basically the most popular 138k tweets on Twitter were deleted over a few hours until discovered. https://t.co/L7KbGE1Pjq

@jeremycloud and I were called into @chfry office for that one

Why I left @twitter or rather why I did not sign up for “extremely hardcore” Twitter 2.0

If I could convince everyone in the world to read and understand one article about COVID it would be this one. FWIW it very closely tracks the understanding I’ve developed over many months now, and explains all of the twists and turns to date.

Few responses to twitter criticism of @davidzweig's excellent piece

Let's remember the first truth: there is ZERO high quality data here so we have to debate mediocre studies... but lets address the concerns
