Canva bought Serif for their quite nice Affinity suite some time back. I wonder how this will work out long term.

I doubt they're going to work on the Affinity suite much more, it was probably more of an acquihire, where they'll get the engineers to work on the main Canva product.

What makes you say that? Canva already stated Affinity won’t be going anywhere.

Finally, a company that adds AI to their product and then IPOs - I can't wait to see what groundbreaking stickers the AI will come up with, so I can really level up my birthday cards.

If they wanted to be ahead of the competition, they would offer "handcrafted human designs for premium customers"

That doesn't scale.

To be fair, Canva's product is uniquely a good fit for Gen AI. Casuals who just want the end result without trying to learn all the complicated photo/video editing techniques.

I am not a "casual." I am a human being.

Complaining that loose monetary policy is responsible for inflation is a pretty common theme from Musk/Trump fanboy type CEOs. They’re also starting to question universal suffrage in public now. Good times.

A loose monetary policy does contribute to inflation. It's not the sole contributor, but when a lot of money is injected into the system, and the # of goods & services stay the same, inflation occurs. Increasing production takes time. There's not a magical machine that can double it's production overnight: New machines & factories & supply chains need to be built out, and those can take months at best.

Terms like loose are relative so it’s often associated with unhealthy extremes. But in a growing economy you need to increase the money supply to avoid long term deflation. Further, the economy naturally expands and contracts over time so timing things correctly and a loose money supply doesn’t necessarily mean short or long term inflation.

Of course everyone is operating with in perfect information so it’s impossible to achieve a completely stable currency.

The fact you could type that sentence doesn't mean the whole sentence "is on your keyboard"

> Complaining that loose monetary policy is responsible for inflation is a pretty common theme from Musk/Trump fanboy type CEOs. What is the source of inflation then?

Inflation is when prices go up. CEOs (loosely speaking) set prices.

So why didnt price go up prior to covid, if the CEO can manage to set prices?

Or is it that they have always set their price to the maximum that their customers will bear, and it's just that now, their customers were willing to bear a bit higher (due to some external cause)?

No there aren't. Each of these has usage context that is not appropriate here. This text is neither in full-width kana, subscripts, nor arabic.
