This is not a surprise. The timeline for this plane aligns exactly with the timeline for Airbus's a320/321 replacement which aligns exactly with when it is believed the next genera…

So he can use the funds he raised for xAI to pay out the lenders for the initial Twitter purchase? Otherwise the lenders are just getting xAI stock (all stock deal) which I assume …

Ah yes. Now we know why those articles about X's valuation resurgence have been coming out lately. He "rescued the value" by selling it to another company he owns. Look, maybe the …

How does removing an easy tax filing solution improve government efficiency? It seems like a handout to private tax preparers. I've scanned some of the DOGE stuff and the fact that…

High Point Scientific is a great option. They sell tons of options and have great service. For example, this is an extremely commonly recommended for serious beginners that is sold…

> The article includes a chart of the first 9 months of the past 20 years, 2010 looks like about 55 billion or so. $55 billion in 2010 is $80 billion in 2024 dollars. I kind of fee…

The 2010 $80 billion is a first 3 quarters number too. I'm objecting to the media's obsession with using the persistent march of inflation to constantly write headlines about recor…

It would appear better. The absolute value of written off loans will perpetually increase since the total amount in loans will increase. The record 2010 number is ~$80 billion in 2…

Not only that, but the headline is a non-inflation adjusted value! We're still well below the peak of 2010! We might be on the cusp of a collapse, but the media (and HN commentator…

This entire article seems to be completely based on a non-inflation adjusted write-off value. It is not surprising to me that we are setting write-off records. We were bound to at …

I don't think the title of the article matches the content. The GFS has not declined relative to the ECMWF. It just started from a lower skill level and its improvements have not s…

Unless you are talking about a very specific period in the last ten years, Boeing's stock has not "shot up". It is barely up over the last decade in a period when the total US mark…

Yeah. The categories seem to be: - Compact cars (rare) -

It's good. And the introduction of the Passwords app this fall will make it better. But it seems to me that Apple only supports adding TOTP codes if you have a password for the acc…

I also don't think the comparison makes sense for a number of other reasons: Microsoft had a real market share monopoly. Apple has a vertically integrated platform that tends to in…
