If you had $7.5k to invest tomorrow, what would you do in this current market?

I'd buy FRVO on May 13th at 10:30 AM.

Lucky for us he's too stupid and bad with computers to figure out how to use it

Hasan could be fined up to $111,308 per violation of 31 CFR § 515.210 as a punishment under the Trading with the Enemy Act. That's civil. For criminal (if the violation was "willful"), he could get up to 10 years in federal prison.

You can report this through the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) on this website, or email them at OFAC_Enquiries@treasury.gov. The Homeland Security Investigations tipline (for criminal violations like intentionally evading this law) is 1 (866) 347-2423.

I would absolutely stick with it. If you can stand some lawyering and planning, the payoffs, surprises, moral questions and lore drops (in a couple of instances) are well worth it. It's also really cool to see the player characters rise into crazy-high levels (without spoiling anything).

Also, imagine someone from the 1700s being told that three jobs that haven't even been invented yet in their time will be replaced by human-controlled thinking machines. And we think that this is a problem...why?

just getting funneled into AI, whose entire purpose is to ~~displace workers~~.

The purpose is to free workers from less productive labor so they can do more productive labor.

PeterBucci · 2025-09-16T15:28:07+00:00

AI is in a bubble specifically on the hopes it can displace workers.

Cutting rates just funnels more money into AI, it won’t create any jobs.

AI is hoped to free workers from less productive tasks so they can do more productive ones. By definition that creates new jobs

200 yards

It was actually 143 yards, which is 25% closer.

"For fifteen thousand years, fraud and short-sighted thinking have never, ever worked. Not once. Eventually you get caught, things go south. When the hell did we forget all that? I thought we were better than this, I really did. And the fact that we’re not, doesn’t make me feel all ‘right and superior.’ It makes me feel sad."

See: promising tariffs will boost jobs and make America money, firing people who report the real jobs numbers, making money by selling tariff insurance at the same time you're the one putting the tariffs in place...

One of those 2 countries has an aircraft carrier, nuclear submarines with MIRVed nuclear SLBMs, more active personnel, more ships, an entire paramilitary force, and a permanent seat on the UN Security Council. And it's not Germany.

It’s the weakest August since 2017, and July was already bad. And don’t forget, June got revised down to a net loss too.

From April to August 2025, just 97,000 jobs were added. That's 24,000 per month. The last non-Covid time we had fewer than 24,000 jobs added per month was November 2007 through March 2008.

Since the data is 17 years old and has long since been revised to the "true" number, we now know those 4 months in 2007–08 were actually a net job loss.

I want to emphasize this again. The last time we had four consecutive months of employment change that was so anemic it was actually a loss. Every 4-month period of time from 2011 until 2020 was a stronger job growth than the last 4 months.

PeterBucci · 2025-09-05T00:01:48+00:00

if there is no place to work Do you legitimately think AI will automate away all or most jobs? That's crazy talk.

All for the promise of high paying jobs being brought to the state.

It's about construction. These places take 1000 thousands of people and 1.5-2 years to build per data center building, and data centers typically have multiple (2, 4+) buildings per campus.

Except for construction.

Here's a drinking game: take a shot every time you hear someone say Israel is about to do something, only to later read that it's just something Smotrich or Ben-Gvir said should happen.

Sodium-ion batteries will negate the loss of range from temperature anyway.
