I agree, the tiny screens seem a bit off. Managing from a mobile device seems more practical, just now sure how to mitigate the security challenges that then raises lol
made me realize how bad my estimates of the economy have been over the last few years.
good you didn't participate in prediction markets about it, lol 👀
sorry, replied too fast, reading the rest now :)
i have to admit that i don't know much about economy stuff but
Maybe Powell is just kicking the can down the road again by signaling for lower interest rates (and more money printing), but it’s hard for me to deny that he’s done a good job keeping the economy together… and both can be true.
how come you think that it's thanks to his actions not despite of his actions?
that isn't clear to me reading your post. is the only variable in a economy really just the interest rate that Powell sets? Or in other words: Does Powell have full reign over the economy or are there other variables he is not in control? (Honest question, as mentioned, I don't know much about this stuff but I would like to know)
Yes. When organisms have enough, pro-sociality can get expansive. I think about this all the time. It's an interesting lens to invert: if someone is being a giant douche, what else is probably true, or has been true?
Installing Linux on an old Thinkpad and working out how to use a Raspberry Pi to flash the bios and install coreboot firmware instead of whatever is on there. I'm going to run a Bitcoin node on there and use the machine as my sole access point for my cold wallet. Basically, trying to create a clean, open-source, no BS machine.
I've never used Linux before, so this is proving to be both challenging and rewarding.
If you are interested in facts about the CIA I highly recommend reading "Legacy of Ashes". All on the record interviews about the history of the CIA. The things that are officially on the record will curl your hair. I really think the whole "conspiracy theory" meme is to distract from the facts that sound like conspiracy theories. The CIA and other intelligence agencies do in fact influence news. I don't know who and how currently but this is no secret. Other nations do the same. Israel, China, the Saudis, and many others I'm sure. The average US citizen is as ignorant as a child about how these nation state actors work.

I'll take that as a compliment.
