it's true, but we still move plenty of the economy on trains, just not people. flights are cheaper and faster.

why dont you try doing your own research. you would at least be able to say something knowledgable like the fact that the price of the snp500 is more than all the money that exists rather than insulting my intelligence with some propaganda from motley fool and morgan stanley about a public opinion survey as if thats some sort of basis for fundamental investment

so when a small group of people conspires to cook up a virus in a lab for power and profit, the answer is to put on a mask? by your logic, it sounds like you think we should stop these people. no one in this country or on this planet has the spine for that though. so i guess ill just put on the mask.

You are talking about prices by themselves without understanding any other variable, without acknowledging anything I said, without reading the blog post. You are making it obvious that terms like "ttm net income per share" are magical spells to you. It's this unwillingness to educate yourself that causes the market to be a complete mystery and ponzi scheme to you. The problem with NVDA is that its reported earnings are not being returned to shareholders, not that its price is seperate from its fundamentals.

That's incorrect. NVDA's stock price is based on its reported earnings and expected growth of said earnings. Furthermore, those who bought in during the initial AI hype were actually proven right fundamentally, and have seen their ttm net income per share jump from below 1% to over 10% of the price they paid in just 2 years. To say the fundamentals don't matter is a severe misunderstanding of the equities market.

interesting that the claim that surgical masks work links to a substack from 2022 and contradicts what fauci said about masks during the beginning of the pandemic.

i was on the fence during the pandemic, but after i saw myself censored for saying covid came from a lab, the jig was up for these fraudsters. people that push the covid narrative are a special kind of evil.

we have a company that has a monopoly that is honestly unimaginable (how does someone monopolize computation of all things...)

and we know that all monopolies require government enforcement to prevent others from competing...

then we know that there's no such thing as a conflict between Microsoft and the us government

the us govt is to serve Microsoft and that's that. any conversation like this about the merits of Microsoft as a market participant are laughable and disingenuous

theres no programmer alive that knows the history of Microsoft that would speak about them as you have just done, as an honest company trying to make a product

actually sick to see how HN has been corrupted

the market will determine what should and should not be audited, according to supply and demand. thinking that a couple employees that were not paid for with profit but with printed and taxed government dollars is not and never will be a substitute for the free market, which is a synonym for humanity. not respecting that fact will always result in loss and inefficiency. and no amount of paragraphs can undo that.

How are you equating a "code review" to open source, the difference is the difference between asking a couple dudes for advice and asking the entire world for advice. I'm sure the argument sounded really good in your head, but let's be adults here when it comes to the United States military

how are those systems going to be secure without being audited by the market?

the reality is that this military industrial complex is just a way to print money and funnel it into the hands of a few criminals. all of the major news publications openly told you that the USA has been attacked over 100 times in the middle east AND WE LEFT. The public is going to find out very soon that this massive, expensive military can't actually defend against or defeat other militaries. That when you spend $1000 on a hammer everything looks really flashy and impressive AT FIRST with your fancy jets and missile systems, but after enough time, and after enough of the money has been funneled out, you realize it's a paper army. the USA is so weak that Iran is pushing them out of the middle east and there's nothing the theives that run the military can do about it. but don't worry. they already manufactured a Palestine sympathy story ahead of time to explain why they have to pull out and run away like the cowards they are. and your son's and neighbors sons will pay the price with their lives
