@GuillaumeVdS Enkele maanden geleden ook ontdekt. Pareltje!

De naam ‘Dordrecht’ schept weinig verwachtingen - dor, drek - maar wat een aangenaam en levendig stadje is dit

@TheKingCourt @ttmygh @Principledmoney Yes! 👍

@GeertWellens @ttmygh @Principledmoney Is this it?

We are currently working with @ttmygh on developing @Principledmoney brand. Here’s one of his favorite images, embodying a simple yet powerful concept: What are the most inspiring places to pause and reflect on the world? Which one is yours?

New on ET: This is the Great Ravine "I was slowly but surely led from a shared sadness over a terrible event to an inchoate anger with the overall system to a focused anger at specific people and institutions. Sound familiar?" No paywall on this one. epsilontheory.com/this-is-the-gr…

One of my favorite quotes: “Show me the incentive, I’ll show you the outcome” Rest in peace, Charlie.

@hansvdw Inderdaad schrikken. Jaren van fijne samenwerking gekend met Paul. Groot verlies, medeleven met de familie.

Dat is schrikken…Een grootheid in ons vak en een goeie, steengoeie vent en collega.

Great thought for day KURT VONNEGUT: I went out to buy an envelope ~ Oh, my wife says,  well, you're not a poor man, You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope. I meet a lot of people. And, see some great looking babes. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is, is we're here on Earth to fart around. And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And, what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And, we're not supposed to dance at all anymore. ~ Kurt Vonnegut 100%

@ttmygh I would absolutely subscribe to such a service: “GPT charts that make you go hmmm”? 😜

@GeertWellens Oh I was just using any old dates. I would love the ability to ask something to create a chart using (for example) NYSE data or BLS or Fred. Would be amazing!!

Can somebody please create a ChatGPT-like product that creates charts? ChartGPT (you can have that, whoever creates it). “ChartGPT, create a chart of US CPI & Core CPI using data from 1950-2023” etc. Bloomberg terminal costs $25k pa. Just sayin…

From the @WSJ. This is likely to amplify the pressures facing some banks on account of higher funding costs, more loan loss provisions and, for some, a less settled deposit base. It also raises the age-old issue of who rates the rating agencies. #markets #banks #econtwitter #economy #ratings
