Good luck. The only reason I use teams is because it’s free.

Do you think they should consider the crime rates of undocumented immigrants who have been charged with or convicted of a crime?

“Sanctuary cities” operate by not removing criminal undocumented immigrants.

I’m not sure that some random idiot talking to another random idiot qualifies as news.

Hold on there, they have been very explicitly doing the opposite of reducing energy costs. The administration has been aggressively trying to cancel all sorts of energy projects, even projects that have almost been completed. At the same time they've been encouraging as much data center build out as possible. Lowering supply and increasing demand is hardly going to reduce energy costs.

They have managed to significantly lower expectations for global economic growth which brings down energy costs, but that's hardly a sane way to accomplish that goal.

I think it's a little bit more nuanced than what you say and that they generally are trying to increase energy supply while withdrawing from using heavy government subsidies or extensive regulations to pick the winners and losers.

From a demand side, they aren't looking to restrict demand, but want to have ample supply to meet the demand.

I think the government is laser focused on reducing regulations, reducing energy costs, reducing interest rates, a weaker dollar that makes exports better, minimizing taxes. Technological innovation is increasing overall productivity. There are definite headwinds like upward pressure on labor by reducing the worker population, stagnating population growth, undertainty, tarriffs, a weaker dollar increasing inflation.

There’s the looming threat of geopolitical world war that has been overhanging the world since the combination of the pandemic isolating different countries and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

It’s really a mixed bag, but it’s not clear to me that we are headed into a total economic crash as the government is definitely focused on doing a lot of good things for the economy, but also is creating lots of different headwinds.

It’s funny. I love using reeder classic and the guy released a new version of reeder that’s not as good, but I want to subscribe to it so I can support him, because I love classic.

I think the question is as it matures will, the value of the model become more stable and then what will happen to price?

If you can compare phones or pcs, there was a time when each new version was a huge upgrade to the last version, but eventually these ai models are gonna mature and something else is gonna happen

America expects its citizens abroad to file taxes, and it strong-armed its allies banking systems into compliance nightmares to ensure extra-territorial enforcement of American laws.

If America wants to pressure countries over their extra-territorial enforcement of censorship laws it should repeal its taxation requirements of Americans not living in America.
