Warren Buffett: "Fiscal policy scares me more than monetary policy."
"It is easier to obtain votes if you give people money. Just like I want to keep my job at Berkshire, [politicians] want to get elected next year."
"My dad was in Congress and I got to view how it behaved then — and I don't think its behavior has improved since 1942 when I first went there."

Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks.
By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time.
Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.
@playLongShort@EndWokeness Lol so 3.8m went from voting for to abstaining from (vs 1.2). Then 6m abstaining went to the eventual winner despite that being completely disproportionate to overall voting in round 1 otherwise (3:1)
Pretty much.
As of the past few weeks, debt markets have almost entirely shut off access to money for any company that doesn’t have substantial revenue independent of AI data centers.
SpaceX closed $40B of debt for GPUs, but we’re investment grade and have Starlink & launch revenue.
That means the 200+ neoclouds are going to see guppy-level death and consolidation. Some will make it through, but not many.
Stallone has the historically normal attitude. It’s normal for parents to do what they can to help their kids have successful lives.
The “you’re on your own, kid” attitude is a relic of postwar American prosperity.
@Collectors_Way Big miss. Its about the incentives and behaviours in this too. And your first three points then refuted by your last "top 4%". Not so many in the lots.
Every elite team is built through elimination. Seals. Pro teams. It’s who isn’t in the room. Your worst person is your acceptable standard. You literally accept them. So that is your minimum. You raise the bar from the bottom not by expanding the top.
@ReaperCapital HR is not a serious role. Have you ever met someone truly excellent and value add, that knows what the team want and the role entails? No true industrialist would allow their money to be spent there.
@maternalgroyp Gonna guess it because she loves it. The other items may make it easier but all I know is those kids must be adored if they keep wanting more that quickly.
Just found out last night when I sent a mate a link that Amazon would charge me 10% more than them for the same product. Call me naive but that's not what I expect for the customer service company. Now will look to shift purchases away where. They know they've got me hooked
J’ai entendu dire que la France était finie, qu’il était trop tard pour la sauver.
Mais la France est toujours aussi belle, enviable même. Sa grandeur n’a pas disparu, elle ne demande qu’à renaître.
Nous avons surmonté en un an un problème cent fois plus grave, sans avoir les moyens dont dispose la France.
La France pourrait y arriver en une semaine.
bro u can literally go to the store and buy an electric car that drives itself or a magic square that pulls gigabit internet from a satellite cluster delivered to orbit by reusable rockets
you don’t have to like progress, but calling the man a snake oil salesman is retarded
