That’s why my wife and I live way below our means. To the point where my wife could just stop working and we’d still be fine (we bank her income and more). If our paychecks got cut in half tomorrow it means we can survive.

I do this as well. It's disturbingly rare.

Tell that to Twitter.

Basecamp might be a more salient example.

It's way too soon to draw conclusions.

Given people were originally predicting collapse within days, how long do you need to draw conclusions?

How do you know the business will not collapse? Revenue internally is down 40% and importantly the activity is a cesspool, wouldn't reckon that's the company just chugging along

"How do you know the business will not collapse"? That's a ridiculous question. Eventually all things die. The question is not will Twitter die but when, and so far the people predicting imminent demise were all completely wrong. Musk's detractors clearly had no idea at all of how much bloat ideological hiring had created inside firms like Twitter. Even if Twitter gets sold or whatever next year, it won't be vindication for those people because they were already proven wrong.

I made an account just to tell you that after a decade of placeholder Twitter account, I started using it after Elon. When Tucker Carlson posted his videos about being fired, my dad made an account because he thinks it'll be the new YouTube. He doesn't even watch Foxnews.

I was referring to engineering, not the rest of the business.

amazon is not twitter.

lol check out the Kia Ev6 GT.

Yeah but the other Kia mentioned in this article is slow AF.

Retool is about as capable as VB 6. We’ll be fine.

How? A year ago I was getting 2-3 recruiters contacting me every day.

I suppose my suggestion was that it seems like the news always says the job market is bad.

And it’s disgusting, the amount of ads on YouTube now is gross. I recently wasn’t logged in and saw how many ads I had to watch to see a minute long video. I wouldn’t use the service if it wasn’t for YouTube Premium.

Do you find it is worth the money? It costs twice what most streaming services costs, and there are no bundles: I pay for Google One and Google Music, but that counts for nothing.

100%, but I put a high value on experience and my time, and I don’t have a lot of other subscriptions.

> people willing to pile on hundreds of thousands in high APY debt like the US

That’s a pretty unfair characterization of CC borrowing in the US. I’m sure there are some instances of that but most people have either a minimal amount on CC or none at all.

I would think it will vary greatly by location and status. I'm 34 and in a fairly low income area / states. The only people I know that aren't drowning in credit card debt are people that manage to be financially responsible enough to never get one at all.

I thought myself fairly responsible until the pandemic hit and now I'm nearly $18K in the hole on credit cards I'm crawling out from under slowly.

Does Stripe really have so many spelling errors in their e-mail comms?

Toyota bet big on hydrogen, not EVs. Now they are regretting it and shifting course, as of this past week.

EVs are a mistake. They are unsustainable. In the long run, all car companies will have to shift to hydrogen, no matter what.

Note that hydrogen cars are also EV's in a sense it is the electrical energy that is driving the motor and hydrogen is a consumable. Difference between Tesla and Mirai is the source of the electricity.

The difference is that a hydrogen car is much less resource demanding. It is the EV that is truly sustainable. We need to give them separate names like BEV and FCEV.

Commercial real estate is worth trillions of dollars and you better believe office REITs are terrified right now if the trend continues.
