@rahul@VeniceLove5 The data suggests only about 3,000 cars were stolen during this period, so your little system is giving ~ 70x the number of alerts as there are stolen cars. I'm sure the massive number of alerts relative to actual stolen cars is super helpful for LE that has to look into each 😂
When Mamdani was running, CNN had plenty of segments about how he was unqualified and inexperienced to be mayor. Now they’re giving reality TV star Spencer Pratt positive coverage and openly rooting for him, lol.
I never thought we would get to see what happens if you gave every tech worker in America free heroin at work but man this is gonna be a wild withdrawal period.
A Chinese-owned copper mine spilled so much waste into a river in Zambia that it effectively killed it and then tried to cover it up 🙃 also a major reason Somali pirates exist is because China overfished their coastlines leaving fishermen with no way to support themselves
meta laid off 8000 people in april and then shipped an AI support bot that let hackers steal accounts by literally typing “add my email to this account” and the bot just did it. obama whitehouse account got hit.
space force chief. sephora. if you dont have 2FA on your instagram right now go do it.
You know what Mamdani taxed the rich and then suddenly libraries started to work, potholes got fixed, childcare exists, and workers get paid more.
That's why billionaires are losing it and want him gone!!!
When will people understand that this predatory pricing model will always be true of anything coming out of Silicon Valley? It is literally their only model. 1. Operate at a loss so everyone signs up 2. Wipe out competitors 3. Slam users with profane monopolistic costs
Imagine you spent 40 years doing the boring, responsible thing.
You opened a 401k at 23. You contributed every paycheck. You ignored the noise. You bought the index because Bogle told you to, because Buffett told you to, because every honest piece of financial advice for 30 years told you the index was the safest, most diversified, most rules-based way to own America.
The whole point was the rules.
The rules said: a company must trade for 12 months before joining the S&P 500. The rules said: it must show four consecutive quarters of GAAP profitability. The rules existed because in 1999 the index quietly bought a lot of stocks at the top, and pensioners paid the bill.
After the dot-com crash, S&P tightened the rules. Nasdaq tightened the rules. FTSE Russell tightened the rules.
For 23 years, those rules held.
Then SpaceX filed for IPO.
And the rules changed.
The S&P 500 waived the profitability requirement. Nasdaq cut its trading-history window from 90 days to 15. FTSE Russell cut its to 5.
Bloomberg Intelligence estimates the major index funds will absorb between 19% and 24% of SpaceX's float within six months. That's over $30 trillion of passive 401k and retirement money, mechanically buying a single newly public company at IPO valuations, because the rules said they had to.
Except the rules used to say they didn't.
Here's the thought exercise:
If you spend 40 years building a system designed to protect ordinary savers from buying overpriced stocks, and then you waive the protections the moment a sufficiently large stock asks you to, what was the system actually protecting?
Most of investing is about understanding what's a rule and what's a guideline.
A rule binds the rule-maker.
A guideline binds the saver.
You're allowed to find out which is which only after the fact.
@Polymarket “Don’t use AI just for the sake of using AI” might end up being the corporate slogan of 2027 after two years of executives forcing it into literally everything.
A company gave every employee unlimited access to Claude.
Set zero spending limits.
Got a $500 million bill. In one month.
Meanwhile Meta made token usage a leaderboard.
Low score meant getting fired.
So engineers left AI agents running all day doing nothing.
Just to keep their jobs.
AI was supposed to replace the humans.
Instead the humans figured out how to game the AI metrics.
Nobody is getting replaced. Everybody is just bleeding money.
As someone who has never dated I think some of you need to become more comfortable with the idea that there’s more to life than the search for romantic love. Why would I waste my free time engaging in multiple meaningless conversations, like actually get a life
