I hope this turns out well for New York, but I am doubtful. Rent control is such a colossally bad idea, a rent freeze is going to be a disaster. This is going to further increase the lottery nature of New York City real estate, and reduce investment. His plans are set to drive finance and businesses out of the city in his goal to give away money to everyone, which will bankrupt the city. Socialism has a bad track record for a reason, there has never been an issue of people trying to escape market economies for socialist ones. The city already has a crime problem, defunding police and making the job unbearable wont help that. Grocery stores already run on razor thin margins, even with the logistics expertise and brutal capitalism of the likes of walmart or aldis, how does the famoisly expensive and incompetent nyc government plan on running a grocery store for cheaper (itll be at a massive loss). This isnt even getting into hos antisemitism “the boot of the nypd on your neck was laced by the idf” should have disqualified him, that kind of antisemetic talk was only on /pol/ like 2 years ago.

let me guess, you are significantly less concerned about the much more blatant rhetoric used to disqualify zohran on his percieved religious association, arent you?

These articles never talk about the version of "spies for hire" which exists for tech workers, which is "expert networks": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expert_network

Get paid 300-2000$+ each for 1 hr calls? I'd be shocked if expert networks weren't being used for subterfuge.

In the incident that coined “drinking the koolaid”, the bosses did drink it.

> supervisors assured them that rosy cheeks would be the only physical side effect to swallowing the radium-laced pigment

A nice reminder that you shouldn't drink the koolaid unless you can actually see your bosses doing it.

IMHO they should just call it what it is, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galinstan instead of the vague "liquid metal" term, which probably evokes mercury and its negative connotations for a lot of people.

Also, it's slightly odd to see the prominent country of origin markings on the CPU --- I've not seen recent Intels marked in the same way.

Yes, hedge funds were selling (borrowing) yen which had positive carry, to fund purchase of US tech stocks. The carry is gone so now they're closing their positions, which means buying yen (which makes the yen stronger, which hurts Japanese exporters), while selling US tech stocks.

When you touch these ads, this will be vandalism and marketing company will dispatch security company on you. Everyone in the ad food chain feels very entitled to litter public space and to violate your attention.
