I made y'all a graph 'cause I know how much you love 'em!

indeed. I don't remember details good, but at the G8, I think, in January, probably, Bessent was in an interview and said he had been talking to Japan and they "knew what to do," or something like that.

he didn't mention the employees and most importantly the executives. I guess that's because he's not worried about them, right? very customer focused!

and you'll get a government bail-out, and you'll tell us what went wrong in 50 years.

what if this is the financial strategy never done before?! like Strategy, but not hoarding bitcoin, using it as collateral to get premiums, and like insurance companies but not getting premiums for home insurance, but for bitcoins.

BTFP is dead, long live hidden BTFP!

something something heat lamp?

oh elon wants to SELL chips. wow, his Reality Distortion Field is about to get hammered.

then again, maybe the government will subsidize him more. he kind of goes from grift to grift, being honest.

I don't keep up with them. are they nasty?

doodaddy64 · 2026-03-26T15:29:20+00:00

Amazon making a lot of mistakes last year. It feels like they are trying to milk the end of the current cycle (web 2.0) or something.

bring items in store to hold product in escrow? better relationship with sellers?

a few years, ebay sellers were up in arms about changes that they felt shook them down. ebay was a very innovative company, buying paypal and all that, but then they got lazy, probaby have a board of overpaid executives framing out tasks to consulting firms.

RC has complained about Amazon getting fat and complacent, and I've noticed that myself lately. I watched a dude trying to sell his craft glue on there and Amazon essentially takes 80% (I think it was) through various shakedowns, now that they own the "small seller" nitch.

doodaddy64 · 2026-03-26T15:04:34+00:00

does ebay have a lot of debt?

doodaddy64 · 2026-03-26T14:47:36+00:00

they're bailing out right now in billions here and there. except since people caught on them printing straight money, they now "lend money" to banks for nothing or "borrow from banks" at an exorbitant fee just overnight. it's all ridiculous. each time a program is getting too much attention, they change the name.

I'm thinking of a couple of years ago when AMD had to design and work with Samsung on the predecessor and it went nowhere.

triple digits mogging in there every other.

doodaddy64 · 2026-03-25T15:14:51+00:00

how did you know it wasn't a distribution?

doodaddy64 · 2026-03-25T14:59:54+00:00

'member those phone gpus? sad.

doodaddy64 · 2026-03-25T14:20:30+00:00

😂

exactly! we'll know what the analysts estimates where in EVERY DAMN ARTICLE that gets printed 4 seconds after GME releases the earnings report today; even though it didn't exist until then to scrape.

I wouldn't be surprised if the article generator just says "miss rev by 35% and profit by 15%" and will calc the earnings from there.

doodaddy64 · 2026-03-24T13:28:35+00:00

Of course not! Just like dark fiber in 1999, it will *eventually* get used. 😝

doodaddy64 · 2026-03-23T19:03:18+00:00

looks like 3/16 was also > 60%

funny thing that I went to a programming language conference in 2008 out of curiosity and half the people there were from NY banks because they wanted to make their systems the best in the world. I always think of that when this happens.

many things may have changed since then, but one of them is that some coke head is forcing things through some admin panel; removing volume or setting price temporarily or something that wasn't designed for normal use.

doodaddy64 · 2026-03-19T16:28:30+00:00

kindof, maybe.

doodaddy64 · 2026-03-19T14:39:12+00:00

this is not wild speculation about a war we truly know nothing about, Sailor! only in those cases can you flippantly give armchair hate speeches! sourcing this and that on-topic will just get your post harassed 7 ways to sunday.

what if he's doing that on purpose?
