Nintendo does have sales from time to time, they're just rarely great discounts. If you have a switch and you wishlist games they will email you if your wishlisted game goes on sale.

Are you questioning the judgment of Dave Van Zandt and his team? Unimaginable! /s

Mostly you can't - most fsd options I'm aware of are mostly in the robotaxi space. Here's a website that tracks where they're available.

Otherwise your best bet today that I know of would be Mercedes Drive Pilot, which has a Level 3 rating for being autonomous.

I'm late to the party here but still wanted to take a moment to thank you for the share - quite an interesting read. Cheers.

I prefer to digest text too, but still would choose to taste a meal than read a typed up printout of the flavors it contains.

If I showed up at a restaurant and was presented with a menu that didn't describe anything about the dishes on offer, I'd be pretty disappointed.

Point being that we have limited time and a nearly limitless amount of options for how to spend it. Text summaries are a tool we can use to decide whether something is worth our time (and money) investment if we're on the fence about it.

Thank you for distilling that down, cleared up all of the confusion I had. Cheers.

Oh, I was just interested in making a pun based on the name. 😂

To be perfectly honest I was under the impression that we had collectively bailed on PGP in favor of GPG, but based on the Wikipedia article it seems like PGP is still getting updates so maybe that's not the case?

Well it's not very good, it's just pretty good.

Y'all? Excuse me sir/madam, but it's y'all that needs to cut it out with the rhetoric.

The level of effort to cast a vote, even in states with aggressive voter suppression, is still lower than the impact that the next 4-6 years of policy will have. Every state has options for mail voting or early voting.

You'd have a hard time convincing me that someone who intends to vote would decide not to unless they're simply too lazy to be bothered. If mild shaming encourages even a single person to exercise their right to vote, it's worth doing.

In fact, I'd even go so far as to say that it's people like you coming out here and coddling people with your sYsTeMiC iSsUeS that is enabling people to consider voting and instead think, "hmm, do I want to deal with the systemic voter suppression issue or should I just skip voting this time? Yeah, I don't want to wait in a line or cast my vote early, so best to just sit this one out and complain about the outcome."

It's not victim blaming, it's reminding people that they have a CIVIC DUTY to vote, just like registering for the draft or getting called for jury duty.

Agree about the stock markets being overvalued. However, I disagree about the impact of the rate cut on the market. I expect that many investors have been shoveling money into the s&p 500 because it has been the most reliable way to make a return that out paces inflation. As the rate comes down, I'd expect more investors to return to riskier markets and ventures because the opportunity cost is lower and the potential returns are worth it.

Cutting the rate gives CFOs some breathing room, which could go a long way toward creating some new jobs.

I was surprised that they went for half a point; I expected a quarter. Are you concerned that we could see another spike in inflation?

Anecdotally, I've seen a lot of friction in the job market over the last year, so hopefully this is the signal that the market has been waiting for to green light some of the projects that have been getting put on hold due to "economic conditions".

I did not know about mega-anna as a term before. Is it always hyphenated, or did you add that for emphasis?

 

I was expecting a conservative quarter point reduction, but it seems like the Fed is feeling bullish about inflation and concerned with the labor market, which has cooled much faster than was previously predicted.

What do you think? Will this move come with the positive effects while keeping inflation below 3%?

 

Friday’s report from the Labor Department also showed that the unemployment rate dipped to 3.8% from 3.9% in February. That rate has now come in below 4% for 26 straight months, the longest such streak since the 1960s.
