It’s rational on an individual level because you can know it’s a bubble, know the company is overvalued and yet still conclude that the best move is to buy. It’s risky, but the question is if the risk/reward ratio is better or worse than the alternatives. In the case of TSLA, you’d have made well over 10x your money if you had bought in 2019. It’s why bubbles keep happening despite everyone knowing they exist and will pop eventually.

It’s more that Tesla is a bubble. The thing with bubbles is that it’s actually completely rational to buy into them while they’re inflating. As long as you get out before they pop, you can make a ton of money.

It’s actually 4 in the last 2 years. There was also a gas pipeline damaged in October of 2023 in addition to 2 data cables about a month ago.

No, because it comes from personal experience working in cybersecurity.

I support most of what Lena Khan has done, but this is stupid. Cybersecurity features should be built into the base package of all cloud products. The fact that so many charge extra for them is and always has been bullshit. It’s like trying to sell a car but charging extra to include seat belts and air bags.

The complaint should be that they’re selling a product that is unsafe in its base offering.

You act like Epic, GoG and itch.io don’t exist. Steam has plenty of competition. They just suck in comparison.

The Steam Next Fest is how I found most of the good indie games I’ve played. Making a good demo will put you above 99% of the cruft out there.

NIST has been saying since 2016 not to use SMS for MFA. It’s always been horribly insecure.

I’m going to guess they mean narrative-driven “games” like Hellblade or Indika, which were all narrative and almost no game.

They have a footprint and servers in the US, which makes them subject to US law. If they shut that down, they could ignore this law, which is frankly more likely than them complying.

The dumbest thing about these laws is that all they accomplish is sabotaging American porn companies. Foreign companies have no reason to follow these laws and there’s no way to stop people from going to them instead.

Surprisingly enough, retired people were close to evenly split. Trump mostly won due to Gen X’ers.

They seem to be real hit or miss. I also have 2 6TB barracudas that have 70,000 power on hours (8 yrs) that are still going fine.

Avoid these like the plague. I made the mistake of buying 2 16 TB Exos drives a couple years ago and have had to RMA them 3 times already.

We knew this before the election. Nobody cared because they were distracted with dumb shit like Trump playing dress up at McD’s.

I’ve seen several small creators say they get 10 times the engagement on Bluesky. That includes sales through promo links, which can’t be faked. It’s becoming clear that X’s numbers are mostly illusory at this point.

No, because that’s when the olds took it over.

The rulemaking process has tons of mandatory waiting periods for feedback. If they didn’t follow them to a T, some Trump judge will have an easy time reversing it.

Yeah, MAGA doesn’t have principles or anything even resembling a coherent world view.

I’ve had more than a few conversations with MAGA types who agree massive corporations are running rampant and are a major problem, but then go on to advocate for deregulation.
