@SchnapsideeG @EmilKalinowski Henceforth the Millennials will be the Boomerangs and the Gen Zs will be the Gen Ys. Done.

@Nylonnerves @EmilKalinowski Quite. The Millennials are the kids of the Boomers. Why name them after Gen X.
Anyway, this Gen Xer just calls his kids annoying - and forced them to watch 80s teen movies, which they oddly like. One of my kids said, "That looked like a lot easier time to grow up." She's right.

Reports that use “Generation Z” reveal the authors are ‘out to lunch’.
There is no Generation Z!
Nor was there ever a Generation A, B, C or ABC—not even LMNO, unfortunately.
Gen-X was for a specific reason (think X-rays, X-planes—the unknown).
They haven’t earned a name, yet.

I keep looking at this and keep discovering new insights. Def one of the best graphics I've ever seen.

@SchnapsideeG @EmilKalinowski Gen Y is an alternative name for the Millennials lol.
English
@EmilKalinowski I'm going to state the obvious but shouldn't the kids of GenX be GenY.
It's not just sequentially correct; it's a double entendre.

@MacroAlf Does the extra $100 of deposits get created out of thin air too -- where do the deposits come from?

@pankit16 @Itsme59261985 @SGM63 Er I thought the vendor is only allowed to bid once, or are things done differently in NSW?

@AvidCommentator Buyers' funds are also sourced cheaply from overseas.
English
Its funny 40 years ago a house cost 2-3x income, building materials were mostly sourced/made locally & homes were built to last.
Today they cost 7-14x income, most materials are sourced cheaply from overseas & the quality is at times questionable.
Why is that...(rhetorical)
English
@AvidCommentator By "If it comes in hotter than that" do you mean if it comes in above 6.2% or 5.2%?
English
In a little under 2 hours the Aussie CPI data will be released
The consensus at Bloomberg is for 6.2% YoY, its currently 5.2%
If it comes in hotter than that the RBA will see even more pressure to raise more than 0.5% in August.
Where do you reckon it will end up? Closest wins

@santiagoroel Transcending these archaic notions of identity will perhaps also allow society to pursue a form of radical equality of uniqueness or homogeneity where people will not be held back by traditional socialcultural barriers.
English
The metaverse is so powerful because it fundamentally allows us to rethink identity in an open canvas that transcends archaic notions of identity like ethnicity, nationality, gender, religion & other primitive markers. I believe it puts more emphasis on what we think and do.
English
@santiagoroel They're different classifications of games. Games on PS5 do not involve skin in the game, you lose nothing when you die repeatedly. P2E and other web3 games have more in common with casino gaming where the titillation of winning real world money is the most enjoyable factor.
English
Hear me out. Why would you spend $1k to get started on a Web3 game when you can buy a PS5 for less and play great games?
Owning digital property in games is a powerful primitive but thinking users will just come to earn is not enough or sustainable if the game is not fun to play

@solo_dio_ @DFA_Analyst @AvidCommentator @bankcustomers @pankit16 @JCautec @LocantroTony Has this property been on the market for almost 6 months? If so they must have been asking way too much to begin with.

@AvidCommentator Yup eternally frantically turning the hot and cold taps in the shower and getting alternately frozen and scalded.
English
Part of the issue we currently face is that we have come to expect that events have immediate results, they don't.
From Chinese lockdowns to the war in Ukraine, the full impact of these circumstances won't be felt for months to come, if not longer.
And that throws us off.

Ok ran out of books. What should I read next? Preferably non-fiction
English
@kofinas Exactly, it is part of every successful bullshitter's strategy to engage you via narratives that are easy to follow and swallow.
English
One of the side benefits of having interviewed so many people during my time working in radio, TV, & podcasts is that I've developed a set of heuristics for knowing when someone is making what sounds like a really compelling argument but is actually just making a lot of stuff up.

@BTMCompliance @blockworks @PlayIsFree In gaming the playing should be the reward, no amount of tokens can substitute for an unfulfilling game experience.
English
@blockworks @PlayIsFree Beautifully said... is p2e the future?
English
If everyone got $1M, would your game still have players? If the answer is no, then you've created a job, not a game.

@EmilKalinowski Some of the things previously used as money were more akin to tokens of prestige, like shells, cows etc. There's probably a need to distinguish between what was used in daily exchange (often realm of women) and what were kept as symbols of wealth and prestige (domain of men).

@paoloardoino I'll wager quantum computing will be powerful enough to compromise Bitcoin before we get to this piece of rock

This is the golden asteroid. There is so much gold that if we could get it (and maybe in 100 years we will), gold will become extremely common and cheap.
No asteroid can bring us more #bitcoin
