Forget the tariffs they should just charge $5 to watch a video of whoever wrote this explaining it to Trump and the budget would be very easy to balance imo

I already think about this every day
Quora being talked about due to Adam being on OpenAI board reminds me of this still unresolved 13yo wager between @rabois and @evansolomon about whether Quora will be the most valuable company created after 2005

The react documentary that came out today reminded me of this thread from over 4 years ago now. JS changes so slowly.
I recently remembered that Typescript was presented at the same conference a day earlier youtube.com/watch?v=1B9p691U…

There are definitely exceptions. But in general, the things that people say aren't taken seriously are taken more seriously than the things nobody says that about.
Real hacker news comment: “If I don't want ANSI codes in the output, then I can just pipe it through sed 's/\x1b\[[;[:digit:]]*m//g' which is easy”

Rabois has pointed to this prediction on November 19 many times. So far he has claimed (1) he's already correct (2) it's not about the nasdaq (3) whatever it is about, FAANG doesn't count

For bonus points, this follow up prediction about the price of bitcoin also from November 19 looks fun. Nasdaq down 6% in that time, bitcoin down >25%. xitter.cf/rabois/status/14617470…

There is so much chaos in this thread it’s easy to overlook that she doesn’t even care (let alone know) if the premise is true
Today I learned that in NYC if you stay someplace for 31 days you are a resident and can't be evicted.

Twitter political influencer does “some research” on the raised fist image in the context of black history, comes up with communism and Soviet Union.
Like “researching” swastikas in context of the holocaust and wondering why everyone’s upset about a Hindu symbol of prosperity.
The "hexagons are legit and circles are cheap bullshit" product designer chose much more rounded corners on their hexagons than I would have expected

I’ve seen multiple golf media talking about the Akshay caddie story not understand that they’re dating. They thought a pro golfer traveling in Texas was on instagram dm’ing good looking girls who don’t play golf to find a caddie for a professional relationship.

As frustrating as this thing is, and has been, I am trying to focus on empathy & gratitude. Empathy for all the fear and frustration. Gratitude for how hard people have worked to get us through this.
I hope that we come out on the other side stronger.
Goodnight.
