  1. RE: techhub.social/@manlycoffee/11

    Given today's Figma earnings call, I was right.

    30 ROI on a month-long long position.

    That's $1400 return.

    And I have a bunch of calls that I bought, that are very close to at-the-money.

    All the AI hype bros have been shorted this stock to a squeeze.

  2. RE: techhub.social/@manlycoffee/11

    When Pierre Poilievre said that Mark Carney is badly educated on economics, sure, I don't think Poilievre should be the one saying this, but I still held back from hopping on the dogpiling bandwagon of laughing at Poilievre.

    To quote Nassim Taleb on this "I don't care if we have 15 PhDs or 500 PhDs", in reference to people criticizing Taleb of unhedged risk moments that lead up to the 2008 recession, many of them claiming "these PhDs disagree with Mr. Taleb".

  3. RE: techhub.social/@manlycoffee/11

    Canada needs more talented technical people who think from first principles.

    My biggest concern is, no matter how much tech use feels liberating, the rollouts are far from it.

    Something that will 100% not be liberating: technical rollouts mandating mobile phone use. Tech is supposed to make things more convenient (such as faster database lookups). It shouldn't lock people into forcing them to get a mobile phone that mandates the creation of an account with either Apple or Google.

  4. RE: techhub.social/@manlycoffee/11

    Human beings have historically been regulating what we put on our ledgers for a very long time.

    But suddenly, we start talking about adding regulations for stablecoins, and everyone (on the left) start losing their minds!

  5. All-time return from my bet that AI hype bros that are short-selling are a combination of total idiots, or full of shit.

  6. I showed up to a booth.

    Saw their product.

    Wanted to be nice.

    Asked them "what's your exit strategy?"

    I probably sounded more mean, lmao.

  7. I work in US Healthcare, and I'm still new to it.

    I found this YouTube channel.

    If you're like me, and still trying to learn the administrivia of US Healthcare, this is some excellent resource.

  8. Big five: "I get a bar graph, and I don't remember what those numbers were."

    Myers-Briggs (type indicator): "I get ENFJ" or "I get INTP".

    Don't know about you, but it seems like Myers-Briggs, when administered, empowers people to share insights about who they are better than the big five.

    I mean, don't get me wrong, if you roughly remember your big five score, I'd prefer that, but the Myers-Briggs at least is correlated with the big five, and that's good enough 🤷‍♂️

  9. I just won this Sonic The Hedgehog-branded waffle iron from Rec Room at The Amazing Brentwood in Burnaby.

  10. The Parliament of Estonia is orders of magnitude smarter than whoever is in the Parliament of Canada (including Mark Carney).

    "Europe should regulate Big Tech instead of banning kids from social media, Estonia says"

  11. The liberal party has adopted a motion to ban social media use for anyone under the age of 16.

    Perhaps it is a good idea.

    I don't know. Perhaps not, due to privacy concerns.

    But personally, I'd push for first banning infinity-scrolling video functionality that has been plaguing social media, not just TikTok, but YouTube (via YouTube Shorts), Instagram (via Reels), Facebook (also called Reels), X (formerly known as Twitter has full-screen video scrolling down to another arbitrary video), Snapchat (gotta make money somehow; vanishing messages aren't gonna keep the lights on), Reddit (which has full screen video scroll to more videos).

  12. Canadians be like:

    "Hah, take that Americans! We have a stable banking system because of regulations!"

    Then talks of adding regulations for stablecoins come up.

    "Oh no! We can't have that, for reasons that some left-leaning periodical that I skimmed through has said why it's all a bad idea!"

  13. Forgot to share this, but I thought I'd share.

    I had some delicious biryani at Bahubali Biryani House, at the South Western corner of Scott Road and Nordel Way, at the Kennedy Heights Shopping Centre, South, in Delta, BC.

    It was delicious.

    If you're looking for something around the area, I highly recommend.

  14. So, I've been playing around with a ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura Edition for a bit.

    Overall, I feel almost right at home with the X1 Carbon.

    I wished I could highlight all the good things, about it, but frankly, it's mostly neck-in-neck with the 14-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro.

    That said, I may as well list out things that either laptops have missing.

    What X1 Carbon doesn't have.

    - Long battery life
    - HDR display
    - Smudge-resistant exterior
    - Ability to dev for the Apple ecosystem
    - Good speakers

    Things that the MacBook doesn't have:

    - Touch screen
    - Screen real estate at the top (it's been replaced by a notch)
    - Insanely lightweight (X1 Carbon is less than a kilogram in weight)
    - screen folds out 180 degrees

  15. CW: Taxation

    Why do I keep saying that landowners are the ones that should pay higher taxes?

    It's because it doesn't make sense to me that land ownership should be respected for "not paying into the system".

    Like, if you want to play this silly game that little boys play of territorialism in elementary school playgrounds, where they draw imaginary boundaries, then by all means do so.

    But for people who didn't consent to it, you gotta have a good reason why the respect for imaginary boundaries should be enforced.

    To make it really easy: don't tax improvements; just land ownership.

    The Reddit comments regarding the following post are calling out how it is absolutely fair that BC assessment has reclassified Big Bang Cider's land use as "light industrial", but I don't think land use should be taxed more.

    Just land occupation should be taxed, and nothing else.

    (Of course, I'm probably the "anti-tax (except land)" equivalent of marxists: I'm probably missing nuance.)
