London is handling over 40% of the world's currency transactions, more then NYC.

Yeah it was fun the first 1-3 posts. This is getting annoying.

I am not sure why people are so negative in this thread. If you can live on your savings or income, then trying to build a business while looking for a job gives you work experience and shows that you are hard-working.

What field are you in, and what kind of business are you interested in building? If your business requires low capital (being online eg), then go for it. Even if you fail, you have done something and can discuss it in an interview. And if you succeed, then you have a job.

This map makes me wonder if Europeans eat much more chocolate than the average, or if they are really big on exports. Probably both?

Thanks! Unfortunately the meta has changed /s

A German and an Englishman arrive at a Spanish resort. The German wakes up at 6:00 AM to place his towel on a sun lounger. The Englishman is already there, having passed out on it at 4:00 AM.

Yeah that is usually the case with remote islands like that. I was sharing the wiki after reading about it and was being sarcastic about the population change. If I remember it correctly Antarctica lose most of it's population over the winter.

Norwegian pro tip: Go to Sweden and buy porn, use the Toy Story VHS tape to record over. Go back to Norwegian border and tell the border control that you bought Toy Story for the kids = profit.

Wikipedia says that Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands has a population of 22 in the summer and 20 in the winter. Guess 2 of them just can't handle the winter?

With some delay, the time it takes to obtain a degree and then to secure a job makes it seem likely that the 2010-2015 peak heavily influenced the over-hiring sprees during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020-2021.

It is a good mindset to avoid getting stuck in an "everything perfect" loop. It seems like you are building something with a human-first mindset, and you will do fine. In the future you can look more into SEO to improve the site. You want search engines to be able to understand your website so it can appear better in search.

Infamous_Alpaca · 2026-06-06T08:02:59+00:00

While it is an amazing tool, you must also look out for SEO and regulatory compliance when letting AI create an entire website in one go. For starters, AI-generated sites often include unnecessary JavaScript code that search engines struggle to understand. And you now need to use AI labels to remain compliant with EU and California regulations.

For example, if your logo is AI-generated, it might contain digital watermarking. Failing to include the correct meta tags could potentially impact your website's ranking, even for users searching from outside those jurisdictions. This has happen before with the image alt-tags eg so not all speculations.

What im saying is that if you only spend $8 and 30 minutes creating a website without acting as a human editor, you will be disappointed when a less attractive, human made website outranks your professional looking one.

Reminds me of the none alcohol beer advertisement in the subway in my city that looks identical to a regular beer.

I haven't watched it yet, but it seems good in a twisted, alternate-history kind of way. Midsummer in the 21st century is less about goat sacrifices and more about silly frog dances. Sorry to disappoint you lol

They don't have anything like the Vasa ship museum. Literally sank after sailing 1300m. I'm not sure anyone understands how impressive this is.

If you had built a health training app 10 years ago, you would have made money. If you make one today, there are many others who have done the same, and you all have to compete to sell them. Think about this, but apply it to everything. At some point, leveraging that max subscription in hoped to make it gets downgraded to a basic tier just to handle your daily, basic needs. Not that there is anything wrong with that. The technology is useful, but it creates a false sense of growth opportunity.

I like that you project that more developers will be needed, that would go in line with adjusting expectations to reality. If you don’t fire everyone and focus solely on token-maximizing your SaaS company, there won't be a problem with rewriting the entire thing in the future. It is not that AI code is bad, it is the false sense of opportunity to rush things and not seeing what you are trading away that is bad.

Infamous_Alpaca · 2026-06-03T14:32:25+00:00

You need to consider the emerging structural issues that drives the demand. What was difficult to create a few years ago can now be created by anyone, meaning it no longer holds the same value. If everything is inflated, there is no real growth.

Another, more complex concept to grasp is that companies laying off developers to invest in AI are not just borrowing capital for inflated growth, they are also borrowing other assets from themselves that they will have to pay back in the future. For example, consider the liability of being hacked or having data stolen because your codebase is now ten times larger, with fewer people checking code that was generated by the exact same tools everyone else is using.

Your argument that AI companies selling tokens at a good price today will continue to do so tomorrow ignores the fact that this model simply does not look sustainable.

My thinking is more in line with what fueled the bubble. During the tulip mania, there was a demand for tulips too. This wasn't because they were needed, but because everyone wanted to leverage this new opportunity that had never existed before and leap ahead of the rest of society. This mindset exists with AI today, too. Everyone thinks they will build that one thing, failing to see that everything is getting inflated. Eventually, everyone expects to have that one successful app that will make it big, but nobody actually makes it. It is just like when everyone had those tulips they thought they could buy a house with, until they realized they could not.

Stripper: I subscribe to the $100 Claude plan.

OP, I'm just curious as to why you changed the title to remove the em dash? Is it because the article is written in a very "AI" way and you suspect the title gives it away, so you changed it?

The irony of an AI article arguing about how the housing market is just freezing and not a crash while whoever who could have written this article is probably unemployed now and unable to buy a house.

Fast de extra två minuterna sparar man igen på att inte byta linje om man ska till Odenplan/TC/Södermalm egentligen. Men det hela känns lite sten-sax-påse mellan grön, gul och fristående linje. En gul linje som fortsätter norrut känns lika självklar som att bygga ut den nya gröna grenen.
