The raise at $PLTR was more than enough to cover the beat. What I mean: Q2 --> Q4 growth was forecast at 57% growth Q2 --> Q4 growth updated to 68% growth

Was thinking the $DUOL weren't looking too bad, but then saw 14% bookings growth was just 9% on constant currency -- and that's not good

@aakashgupta Firmware? It’s a wooden box with a light on a timer. Fuck, engineers are stupid. A teenager in shop class could make this.

Mark Zuckerberg engineered a custom hardware device for his wife in 2019. No clock face. One faint light. A one-hour window. Priscilla had a specific problem. She'd wake up in the middle of the night, check her phone for the time, and the number itself spiked her anxiety. 4am meant worry about the kids waking soon. 5:30 meant calculating whether to just get up. The information was the trigger. Most engineers approach "can't sleep" by adding things to the bedroom. A meditation app. A Hatch alarm. A weighted blanket. A sleep coach. Mark removed the variable that was running the wake-up loop. The Sleep Box sits on Priscilla's nightstand and shows nothing for 23 hours a day. Between 6am and 7am it emits a single faint light. Faint enough not to wake her if she's still asleep. Visible enough that if she's already up, she knows it's okay to start the day. The rest of the night, dark. No clock. No time display. If she wakes at 3am she has no data to push her cortisol up with, so she goes back to sleep. He wrote the firmware and built the enclosure himself. No team, no procurement, no Meta resources. He posted the result on Instagram and said it worked better than he expected. The design move most CEOs would never run is the personal one. The instinct is to outsource a family problem to a specialist. A sleep coach. A doctor. A consumer electronics startup with a Series B and a marketing budget. Mark intervened at a specific link in the chain. Time data hitting Priscilla's brain at 3am was what broke sleep. The phone got moved off the nightstand and replaced with a box that physically cannot deliver that data. The box has no clock. That's the entire product.

Elegance has been on the decline among straight men since the end of WW2. There used to be many elegant figures, such as Cary Grant, Gary Cooper, and Fred Astaire. In the postwar period, organizing masculine themes tend to be "cool" or "macho." Elegance is seen as effete and weak
Pop Crave@PopCrave

Meryl Streep says Stanley Tucci has “an elegance to his heterosexuality”: “Stanley has an elegance to his heterosexuality, his undeniable heterosexuality, which is formidable. Not that heterosexuality is better than any other kind of sexuality, it's just that elegance - real, unforced, natural, unstyled elegance - is sometimes harder for straight men. I’m not looking at anybody here or intending any slight, but I'm just saying.”

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses. I’ll explain for the economically illiterate. Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add: - 12.07% holiday - Sick pay - Maternity pay if and when required - National insurance - Pension contributions These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up. Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t. Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics. Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs. There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay. So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost. Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes. The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

The Greens will raise the minimum wage to £15 for all workers 💪

You cannot build a "wealth fund" on borrowed money, first you have to build some wealth and then you can invest the extra. This is like getting a mortgage to buy savings bonds. The only one who benefits is the bank. I for one cannot remember the last time a Liberal government had a true surplus, although I am sure some brainwashed Liberal will tell me shortly.

What IF Trump said we could have a 100% tariff free trade deal with them if we had a Conservative govt.? Would the Elbows Up crowd turn on the Liberals? Of COURSE they wouldn’t…corruption and graft is too important to abandon.

Watching Carney and Poilievre go at it in Parliament is starting to feel uncomfortable. Not in a dramatic way, just in the way it feels when someone is clearly out of their depth and keeps pressing anyway. Carney knows the file. When he answers, he answers the actual question. He doesn’t need to perform outrage or repeat a catchphrase three times and call it a rebuttal. He just explains things, clearly, because he understands them. Poilievre comes in loud and confident, same as always, and that works great on a campaign trail or a Facebook video. But in a room where the other guy actually knows what he’s talking about? The gap shows. Every time. The frustrating part isn’t even the politics. It’s watching someone confuse intensity for competence and expect nobody to notice the difference. People notice. This stopped being a left vs right thing a while ago. Now it just looks like one guy who did the reading and one guy who thinks he doesn’t have to.

Canada you’re a complete embarrassment. In the US last night, the Americans sang the Canadian national anthem. In Canada, we booed. I’m disgusted with your behaviour.

Drowsy Investor (Shooting the Bull Pod)
Worst phrase in investing: “last chance to get in”. Literally it almost never is. I remember folks saying “last chance to ride $TTD at $50” or “last chance to buy in on $SE” Like if your holding period is longer than a week. Take a breath.
