Let's look at it a different way. Why are people in Ohio, North Dakota, and Wisconsin much more tolerant of racism and violence against immigrants then ten years ago?

The question is whether reactionary views are being driven by actual economic desperation or social media so pointing out economic challenges particular to a tiny percentage of country doesn't inform that.No one is saying move to Cincinnati.We want to know why people there are now more racist.

I'd find some sort of secure cloud site and possibly use additional encryption with a passphrase I would remember. Unless someone knows to look for it there is no reason to expect to be hacked. I'm not a person associated with bitcoin and it wouldn't be identifiable to me.

The ideal stock time travel fantasy involves using cash in the past to buy bitcoin so that your past self doesn't know about it and then coming back to the present and accessing the wallet. It's the investment of choice for time criminals just like regular criminals.

He is using a later starting point than me. I was going from the IPO. He's calculatong from when the stock had doubled or so so he's only seeing about a 2000x increase.

That sounds consistent with what I've seen. Though sadly the truth is that your dad would have prudently diversified at some point and lost many of his gains.

That's definitely not right as it would suggest a forty billion dollar valuation in 1999. Assuming that Google’s split adjusted graph is correct it would be worth about four thousand times as much or a million or so. That's what this article reports as well

There is I think a parallel to how a "soft on crime" politician will be burned harder for any rise in crime. Trump's intentional decision to raise prices makes the moderate inflation both seem worse and more his fault

One thing that comes to mind is that Cameron must usually deliver completed and working technical projects in a discrete amount of time and can't ride on future promises the same way. I also think that his job involves working with ans respecting lot of different subject matter experts in a 1/2

I do think that Trump 1 still had some general sense of minimal things they needed to do to keep core constituencies happy and this crew clearly does not give a crap. That doesn't mean that they won't prevail but possible that the wheels come off.

It is absolutely not true that "most" Americans live in a state of precarity. Absolutely nothing in our consumption habits suggests that "most" Americans think that.

Someone was commenting that people in 2070 are going to look at like Instagram influencer posts or those Peleton advertisements in huge homes and assume that is how people lived today.

This, not both sidesism is also how you draw centrist and libertarian oriented people into the anti Trump coalition. By aggressively calling out the ways he is uniquely destructive and corrupt and forthrightly drawing upon universal principles to oppose him.

I think of it all the time with the some of the famous people who have gone mad on Twitter (Rowling, Musk, the various silicon valley VCs) just flooding their brains with poisonous information. It's an incredibly prescient metaphor for what people think they can handle vs what they can.

"Palantir" is specifically something that causes powerful and arrogant men to either go crazy (Denethor) or become corrupted to evil (Saruman) as part of a careless hunger for knowledge and information and power. It's specifically a brutally on the nose cautionary example for men like Peter Thiel

Everyone is poisoned by the representativeness heuristic and forgets to think about how percentages interact with population size.
