@3L3C70 @AlexSaundersAU Do you mean WinAmp od Depeche Mode? Could be either... :)

I was at Amzn in 2000 when the internet bubble popped. Capital markets dried up & we were burning $1B/yr. Our biggest expense was datacenter -> expensive Sun servers. We spent a year ripping out Sun & replacing with HP/Linux, which formed the foundation for AWS. The backstory:

There was a drone inspecting the Tower 4 Cables when the collapse started so we get a close up on the cables breaking, check the second video segment.

@classywarfare I read The Sleepwalkers by Christopher Clark last year and my impression is that it would not change much in the long run. The European empires of that era were seeking war and that incident was not by any means the one reason WWI started.

@balajis A lot of it is explained by @davidgraeber Bullshit Jobs. We traded productivity for jobs. https://t.co/X7Ttg3i6BB

1/ Recently finished "Where’s my Flying Car - A memoir of Futures Past" by J Storrs Hall.

It's simultaneously extremely critical of the state of atom-based technology and presents a precise and aggressively optimistic vision of possible futures.

This is criminal.

[Ben Hunt @EpsilonTheory]

Australia will no longer require mortgage loan verification by banks, allowing blanket acceptance of borrower statements, in order to address “excessive risk aversion which has built up and restricted the flow of credit".

LOL. Nothing matters.

It is hard for me to believe that the errata was not deliberate... 😂

@WTF_1971 I saw earlier today that 50% of the population (assumed US) had less than $1000 cash for an emergency. So how is it that financial success is a priority for so many, yet so many fail at it?

[Robert Manka @rmanka]

@KeithMcCullough @HoweGeneration I don't get it @KeithMcCullough. If half of the US population is pretty much broke (assume the chart is US households), then where all of the robinhooders are getting the money from? Is it really all funded by those free checks from the gov?

The NYT suggests cancelling Aristotle. This is retrospective bigotteering; it implies moral values DO NOT evolve.

People need to be judged with respect to the morals OF THEIR OWN TIME.

(But we can be harsh w/Napoleon who reinstated slavery.)

FX: Dollar being devalued (again) against Euros and Swiss Francs - sad (but profitable) to watch

[Charles McGarraugh @CMcgarraugh]

Fantastic article.

The incentives of the monopoly internet platforms inevitably drive their algos to foment polarisation. Optimising for engagement embeds it in the math.

That’s a core feature of the political economy we live in.

Invest accordingly.

@LetterstoaN @PeterZeihan I'm afraid Taiwan will be next, so it would be no more than kickin the can…

@vote4robgill @GovWhitmer Hmmm, last time I saw something like that was when Russia invaded Crimea....
