spacemang_spliff posted:I don't have money brains but I don't understand doing inflation but not including rent or food. Most people have to pay rent and everyone has to buy food. Not including it makes it meaningless! On their terms: Rent and food fluctuate for reasons not related to money supply. A bad crop caused by flooding doesn't reflect what the money printer is doing. On regular people terms: They don't want to have to report all the gouging and rent prices going up is entirely the point of bourgeois society.

Nocturtle posted:Matt Levine's most recent Money Stuff newsletter is frustrating. They essentially blame bank regulators for causing the SVB bankrun through inadequate supervision. They also note that since all US bank deposits are now effectively guaranteed by the Federal govt there is an incentive for bank executives to take even more bad risks. However they again conclude that the govt simply needs to regulate banks more effectively. There's no acknowledgement that govt regulatory oversight was systematically undermined by the industry's own lobbying efforts, or that there's no realistic prospect to effectively regulate the financial industry in the current political system. Presumably a former banker writing for Bloomberg isn't likely to be making those points but they're obvious omissions. Didn't Goldman threaten to do exactly that in 2008, and that's why they got in on the bailout that they IIRC didn't even need?

Frosted Flake posted:A perfect example is the fanfare around their big release yesterday Ya lol. An exam ultimately is a series of search queries, whether you direct it at a brain that might have retained the fragment you randomly selected or an AI who absorbed that fragment or has an active internet connection. And it can pass a math test, wow so it can do what Wolfram and Mathematica and computers in general have been doing for decades. I guess the value add of the AI is that it can read the test itself (presumably).

Justin Tyme posted:the problem imo isnt that they're writing lovely book reports, it's that they're afraid of being wrong (and relatedly, afraid of getting a bad grade because of being wrong) so they write the most inane, safest thing they can think of Yup, they say failure is good and all that but in school that never seemed to be the case. You just got a bad grade and had to pull it up by somehow getting excellent grade, hell they'd barely go over why what you did was wrong or how to do it better, you got a bad grade and now you're bad, on to the next thing. Frosted Flake posted:Despite receiving an F, the student went over his professor's head to submit it to journals of antiquity, who promptly reached out to the school asking what the hell we were doing, which led to the school asking the department the same question. The department kept a copy of the paper, it's passed into legend and is still brought out whenever a new TA or adjunct is pulling their hair out or despairing at their students' work . We surely have been half educating people. You said earlier college are waiting for the pandemic to graduate but uh, poo poo's gonna get a lot worse. COVID bodyslammed the public education system, already incredibly weakened by neoliberal rot, and I feel it is in terminal decline. Admins seem to have industry wide just completely given up and accepted that they're just here to make sure bodies are counted so they get funding. Teachers can get full on assaulted and be back in a couple days, and the parents to the extent they're involved at all, just show up to fight over grievances and make sure the school keeps taking their monsters off their hands. It's been deteriorating along these lines for over a decade and there has been and will never be, any action to correct it. At least with healthcare ,they can still get employees because it can still pay well, but public education is going to be shattered for good within a generation imo.

Thoguh posted:All the actually creepy as gently caress Epstein stuff exists and nobody gives a poo poo. Unless someone is in to something particularly weird you aren't gonna get much blackmail material by trying to release that some politician searched for Big Titty MILFs when the public stories about the Lolita Express barely raise an eyebrow. Still lmao about Qanon's special boy being super sus with kids and paling around with Epstein himself and they're like nah. Dale Gribble was such a great pastiche of conspiracy culture. They twist themselves into knots over the dumbest poo poo and miss the real conspiracy right under their noses. Could the government and media, which I already acknowledge is captured by XYZ interests, be lying to me about COVID being mild so they can make the sheeple go back to work?  Nope viruses just aren't real at all that's the answer. Could Trump be a pedo and grifting in plain sight? Nope that's the lugenpresse denigrating the special one, the lugenpresse which is cool and good when it says what I want to hear.

Cpt_Obvious posted:Nobody is going to be getting enough dollars for a wheelbarrow. Inflation will go up 10k% and wages will stay the same. This. They’ll forbid it to prevent the dreaded wage price spiral, as in wages might rise. The 20s are when the oligarchs are going to try for all the marbles. You would think at this time American would use their copious amounts of firearms and 3 ton 0-60 in 4s vehicles to fight back. You would be wrong, they are going to kill a bunch of minorities and women and call it a day.

Fitbit got bought by Google at some point I guess and now is the time for the controlled demolition  Got an email saying they are improving the Fitbit app, by removing challenges and groups. Total doublespeak and it's clear that even if it wasn't their plan from the jump to buy and dismantle Fitbit, they're getting their lunch eaten by the Apple watch. Email had loser energy too.

Fitzy Fitz posted:I love it when I buy something and its functionality is subsequently eroded by a change in corporate ownership Had to eliminate them as competition after all, very effishunt. Nothus posted:Has Google ever successfully assimilated a 3rd party product? Everything I can remember them acquiring dies. Has Google ever successfully assimilated a 1st party product since like, Gmail? They released the Pixel Watch last fall with "fitbit" technology in it, so I guess that was the play. They bought FB for the brand and IP and now that the watch is on the market, it's time to clear out the legacy users and devices.

Kreeblah posted:I think you're the first person I've ever seen who has an IAPP cert. I've thought about doing a couple of them (CIPP and CIPM), but I've never, ever seen anybody acknowledge that they exist. Granted, my background's in infosec rather than legal (albeit one where I've worked closely with our attorneys on poo poo), but I'd still think that somebody out there would care about them somehow. Yeah these certs look pretty interesting and might lead to a remote job. Was the exam hard?

Isn't this basically how Israeli settlers work? They just take over a Palestinian's house one day and passive-aggressively and aggressive-aggressively live there amongst the rightful owners until they can't take it and leave.

text editor posted:Tucker simply understands what happens to his position in this society and economy when it gets pushed past the steady state it's been in for as long as anyone in America can remember. Yeah that’s the thing. This is a police state, but that only works up to a point. As society breaks down so does the ability to protect rich citizens, and will scale to what connections you have. Like good luck trying to do police poo poo in a full blown shanty town.

Bar Ran Dun posted:it’s because they often harvest wild ones in places where it is illegal to do so, and will even kill amateur mushrooms hunting folks or unlucky hikers. years back there were articles about it in the news. America is so great that if you go off paved roads and try to be in nature there's a chance someone is going to kill you for it, because it's their turf or "their turf".
