    US sanctions hit Europe very hard

    One of the biggest effects of Russia's current expansionism is the drastic acceleration of movement in Europe away from oil-based energy. This in the mid and long term is beneficial to Europe. So, they have Putin to thank for that. America should do the same.

    Katie Porter setting the record straight, again

    Corporations are maximizing profit (i.e., practicing Capitalism). No collusion needed. What the man in that video is saying makes a lot of sense relative to other periods of inflation. Do you have any evidence to suggest that what he is saying is not true? Or is name-calling all you have because...

    Anyone got dual 49" curved monitors one on top of other?

    Avoid putting monitors one on top of the other. That is bad ergonomics and a recipe for neck and back issues in the long run. Keep the top of your monitor at your horizontal eyeline. Go wide with your monitors. I have a 32" monitor and a 24" monitor side by side for my day work.

    BTC - what is it good for?

    One of the only benefits of bitcoin (well, Blockchain really) is that so many criminals thought that their transactions were anonymous when they weren't. A lot of criminals have been caught through bitcoin tracking software. (Also, American courts have ruled that the 4th Amendment does not apply...

    The collapse of Western economic system and the curse of Central Bankers

    There is a difference between being pro-war and being anti-Russian imperialism and anti-Russian genocide in Ukraine. If you give in to Nuclear Blackmail you actually make Nuclear War more likely because you are teaching the world that they all need nuclear weapons and that Nuclear Blackmail...

    TA is BS?

    Sorry, I should have said TA by itself. I'm sure TA along with FA and other Macro Economic factors works to some extent (sort of a gestalt sense of the markets as a whole). My understanding is that TA by itself has never been demonstrated to be very successful; but I guess it also depends upon...

    TA is BS?

    Apples and Oranges; not comparable or analogous. I can't say whether TA works or not as I have not seen any scientific evidence one way or the other. But there is a clear science to Epidemiology. Completely different domains of inquiry.

    [Hacker News Rant] Why Modern Software is Slow

    This is a weird article. Modern software is not slow. I'm running a 2013 Mac Pro and 2014 Mac Book Pro, and video editing, image editing software, and 3D Software (actually any software I am using) are quite snappy on these computers. Eventually I will bump up to M1 processor Macs and these are...

    Putin Announces ‘Partial Mobilization,’ Stepping Up Ukraine War

    True. There is a lot of overlap between far right and far left tankie.

    Putin Announces ‘Partial Mobilization,’ Stepping Up Ukraine War

    His writing aligns with those of other tankies.

    Putin Announces ‘Partial Mobilization,’ Stepping Up Ukraine War

    Shrug... I can't force you to look, but there is lots of evidence out there if you decide to open your mind to it.

    Putin Announces ‘Partial Mobilization,’ Stepping Up Ukraine War

    I have heard it many times in the media. If you use Google and limit your date search to March through August of 2022 you will find lots of hits. For instance, Putin made such threats at the start of the conflict; when Sweden and Finland said they were going to join NATO; and when Ukraine...

    Putin Announces ‘Partial Mobilization,’ Stepping Up Ukraine War

    Nobody will take the fake referendum seriously (well, except for tankies like you). Putin is doing this so he can legally use Russian conscripts to "defend" Russia (the 300,000 Russian citizens he is calling up for service are all former conscripts), and to be able to tell gullible Russian...

    US secretly buying Russian oil from India... :-)

    America is not buying Russia oil from India as that would violate sanctions. But it does appear that there are a small amount of secondary oil products being imported to America due to difficulty of tracking resource flows; for example, single use plastic made in India that are using Russia oil...

    Why Americans haven't been convinced on cryptocurrency

    Bottom line is that almost nobody really cares. There's no competitive use case for Cyptocurrency at this point when compared to standard payment and exchange methods. I'm included in that 16% figure (like many of my technically proficient friends). I have a couple of accounts at exchanges...

    Go Woke, Get The Hell Out: Texas Bans Wall Street Giants Blackrock, Credit Suisse...

    Your self-assessment fits; thanks for being honest. I agree that Right-wingers these days are much bigger SJWs than liberals ever were. ps, you are confused about what transhumanism is about.

    Go Woke, Get The Hell Out: Texas Bans Wall Street Giants Blackrock, Credit Suisse...

    Texas (and Florida) are at the forefront of Right-wing wokeness cancel culture and Republican/Chinese communist party style totalitarian control of markets. Interesting how Republicans are all about free markets until they are not (and yes, ESG is just a free market innovation). People "vote"...

    Wokenomics: ESG bubble may deflate before it bursts

    You are right. Here is how I should have responded initially: "Everything you write is false. Shouldn't you be posting in the conspiracy sub-thread?" Is that better?
