Thank you! It's definitely evidence that the universe has a sense of humor.

I like the idea of going into the woods -- how do I get ALL the data off the phone in a human-readable manner that's accessible to someone like me -- not a sophisticated computer nerd, but someone who dabbles in python, can do rudimentary stuff with the command line, and would be lost without Windows? I can obviously grab the photos. But can I recover anything else? The filetypes will all make the data sticky to the apps, wouldnt it?

No joke, I lost mine in the woods, and it was inside of a faraday bag. I went to my cell phone company, got a new phone and a new sim that same day. I also went to Google and did an erase of the Pixel.

The next day, I went back to the woods and found my Pixel, still inside the faraday bag. The erase order hadn't gotten to the phone. It still hasn't. That's right: to this day, I've kept the phone in that bag, waiting and praying for some way to reverse the wipe command I gave to Google. One day, Google will enable me to reverse that wipe order, I have faith.

I'm referring to the most recent artificial fluctuations in home prices that were not caused by some noticeable increase in people living in the Bay capable of paying off a 1.2 M loan, rather than referring to the default baseline of high prices.

"Where are the non-engineers going, and is it to somewhere that will continue to give them north of 200k per year so they can keep borrowing millions and propping up the artificially inflated housing market in the periphery of the Bay Area," is the question on the minds of those whose clicks I imagine this headline is trying to attract.

"The closer we get to employment contracts that are "here's your paycheck, but if someone on social media doesn't like us we'll need that back in 30 days" the closer we get to becoming a mafia that ends up hurting the weakest first and extending the moats of large businesses infinitely."

Alternate theory: there is not a uniquely slippery slope between limiting the compensation for banking professionals at a failed institution and fascism.

Ha, for sixty, seventy, eighty years, most reasonable Americans have been saying all the three letter agencies "scream" power trip.

For my money, I haven't seen an app that so easily allows normal people use copyrighted music -- you know, the stuff everyone hears and is blared at us until we like it -- to express themselves.

If the data loss is such a terrible security threat, why is everyone using operating systems that enable it in the first place? Because the FBI only warns of threats that leverage the terribly insecure systems we all use to oppose the FBI's political projects.

It's a problem, it's just not a problem the FBI has credibility to warn us all about.

The best way to reverse the capital hoarding is to deeply understand the way the policy making system works, not to debate the merits of different policies. Folks who believe in a wealth tax also don't believe in putting their noses to the grindstone for decades to engage in the high octane chess game of bureaucratic power politics. So it'll never happen.

"“I rest assured that 2024 will be a spendorama and I don’t think that anything that happens . . . with FTX is going to change that,”"

Last line of the article completely contradicts the significance of this headline, which is also misleading on its face, because the company gave to both Democrats and Republicans, albeit with Bankman-Friend giving to Dems and his cofounder giving to the GOP.

Keep up the cope though.

You're saying that only New Jersey is doing this for New Jersey-specific reasons. No other state's legislature thinks it's entirely bullshit. Yeah, that's definitely a smart, informed understanding of how each state's legislature works and is motivated and not at all a stupid took-Econ-101-before-I-developed-common-sense take. Totally agree. Chilling effects.
