Bringing back insane asylums, workhouses and vagrancy laws would massively improve the country.
It would mark the beginning of the return of civilized society.
Bring back insane asylums, workhouses, and vagrancy laws. There's nothing kind or compassionate about letting mentally-ill drug addicts roam the streets like 28 Days Later. And it makes for a terrible city experience for everyone else too.

To see the US domination in AI spend broken down like this is eye opening.
The degrowth path of the EU has been devastating for them.
Some data we recently assembled on entrepreneurship/compute in Europe: eudata.vercel.app.
We hope that one of the useful roles that Stripe can play is in collecting and publishing empirical data pertaining to entrepreneurship and industry in Europe. There's growing appetite to get Europe on a better footing, and cross-sectional comparisons can often shine light on where opportunities lie. If you're interested in this kind of thing, we publish more at stripeeconomics.substack.com.

Meta really cooked with this form factor.
A keychain or necklace device that you can talk to is a great idea.
Saying "Hey Muse" or "Hey Grok Bot" to do an action is super convenient.
$META unveiled Muse Charm, a palm-sized 5G device built specifically for talking to its Muse AI agent.
They plan to ship the device in December, in time for the holidays.

Great move by Tobi and Shopify.
While Amazon is blocking Muse, Shopify is opening up their ecosystem to agentic purchases.
We are excited to announce we are partnering deeply with Muse to enable agentic checkout with Shop Pay on all Shopify stores, offering people an easy and delightful way to shop and check out with Muse.

Go through a few audits like SOC, CIS, NIST, FedRamp and others to see who really knows what.
Plus AI should be used to supplement human ability. Not replace it.
I am done with this shit. It is over. The state of engineering right now is horrible. It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company. Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code. Nobody on my team likes this. They are being forced to ship as much as they can. I have heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, so why are we slow? People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter. Nobody is reading anything. Humans in corporate are doing nothing on their own. Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing. Talk to Claude. There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore. Everything is done by LLMs. It is so soul-sucking. I would not mind it, to be honest, if we were at least given the time to check out the code and see what is going where. But no, the goal is to just ship. No matter what happens.

Two incomes is one income.
One income is no income.
Act accordingly.
Having 1 income is too close to none.
If you need to contract stack 1099/C2C do that.
If you are doing a side gig for extra income do that.
If you are trading or investing for extra income do that.
Do anything but settle for 1 income in this economy.

People that are over employed or work multiple jobs to get to $300K+ are definitely prioritizing cash comp in the near term over non-cash comp.
Plus even with publicly traded companies you still have to wait until annual equity comp vests.
Because they want $300k cash not $150k salary and $200k stock options working for a private company that could fire them before vesting or that could go bankrupt and make them worthless. $300k base salary as individual contributor is rare which means they’re not “easy to find”

Leaving the gold standard then the silver standard started the decline.
Now we see the runaway inflation.
