Almost got me

There’s no information so assume these are simple totals that would include principal as well as asset growth. If removing inflation that 6.9 is actually 14T in 2024, it would be interesting to have had it broken out and look at how much actual market growth there has been.

Less than 10 sentences is not really worth sharing on a complex subject on which enormous amounts of analysis have been written is it? Nothing particularly insightful or profound in those 6 sentences either? The introduction to the authors background was longer than the “content”…

It’s a fascinating subject area but frankly think you should delete this and save everyone a disappointing click. Might as well post a link to a tweet…

Or the “my account was hacked” bit that became standard PR move ~10 years ago.

Archive link only shows a single question and answer to me, or is that the entire content?

And in just a few years, for me with my on-chip gpu needs and AMDs huge improvements around the same time, shopping for a processor went from having to read about Intel and AMD and wonder who I should choose for my next small laptop to not even considering anything with an Intel chip set. Thankfully this is also when AMD also became a standard offering at many OEM laptop makers (10 years prior you maybe had a few laptops in the entire market with an AMD option).

Intel truly squandered so much market dominance–despite it being clear to a layman where markets and the world was going-- it’s breathtaking. The fact they missed both mobile phone chip explosion and GPUs despite having been producers of both at some level is wild. The fact they managed, separately, to lose an enormous amount of trust and reputation points with their customers is a testament to why their only new investor is someone as stupid and corrupt as Trump.

Right. That’ll fix it, just thought it crazy that it even could" drain that much from a 2024 phone

I see you too have studied judo.

It’s like no law is upholded unless you have lawyers.

That’s the entire idea of what has been lobbied and constructed over generations. The wealthy have access to infinite appeals, have their crimes categorized as “white collar” so they might do a few years for stealing millions or billions if they happen to suffer the miscarriage of justice actually finding them guilty, while poor saps stealing corn nuts from the grocer get far longer sentences. The system is working for exactly whom wrote it’s laws, no strange coincidence historically in any global setting.

Reading about the consternation in the US about what would happen had trump been given a sentence after having been found guilty during the run-up to the election was a good primer on how warped things are. Many could only express concern for how Trump’s life should be able to go on as normal regardless of a “justice” system if guilty and elected. The simple answer, long forgotten since kindergarten, is that there have to be consequences for actions. It’s been laid incredibly bare there no longer are. The US either starts to take them back ala South Koreas’s new administration or fully embrace failed, corrupt state membership.

What about Bill Nye? Wishbone? 🫡

That’s rich. Business leaders who would sell their own mother to the devil for 1/4 of a point increase in their stock price are lecturing someone who holds responsibility for comprehensive cause and effects of the populace for such insane business practices as these leaders force on the public.

“Whose prosperity” one would wonder. But we all know. It’s theirs. All about them, forever and always to the last one. They are bought, sold and completely corrupted by their single-minded aim of wealth for themselves and their cause no matter what rh consequences to others.

They are sociopaths, not some “council” as if to imply wisdom or austere judgement.

I went to a mariners game while visiting Seattle, bought tickets through stubhub. Oh goodie have to claim ticks on ticketmaster. Don’t want their fucking app on my phone, ok they’ll just email off right? No. Have to log in via mobile web, oh not ticketmaster.com of course, silly, you should obviously know to go to ticketmaster account manager and open your tix there. Want to add to your phone’s mobile wallet so you don’t have to do that on the fly at the gate? No problem, just add to iPhone/Google wallet…only you have to connect your Google account to Ticketmaster to do that, fuuuck that. Christ.

So fucking ghetto.

Big difference why Google, despite being a monopoly, has been tolerated longer, their shit actually works and has largely improved people’s lives (massive asterices) compared to ticketmaster who in addition to being a fucking gouger, makes seeing good artists harder, makes the process dicking worst than it was back with paper tickets in the 1980s and meanwhile owns a ton of venues.

Good on the sounders from leaving, TM is always voted among the most hated companies in the US and with good reason.

This is how fascists will try to end freedom of the press. As consolidated as media is, ISPs are even fewer and will yield to being the iGestapo without protection of 230.

They should go after the content creators and maybe actual child molesters if they have concerns. We have one in the oval office and his party is stuffed with them.

Yes, but instead of optimizing for what each learner needs it will be to Brave New World meets 1984 Education.

Wonder what it’s like to be at mckinsey and after your company has been advising corps to cut staff and do stock buybacks for 40 years as an infinite money glitch suddenly you’re the bloat.

Gonna need a v for vendetta moment for that to happen. It will eventually as all regimes end but in our current timeline…
