@pakpakchicken You are a legend chicken!

Why $fly up so much? Read article below this post Firefly + NVIDIA are enabling the first commercial AI-on-the-Moon imaging service. It’s part of a broader trend: bringing powerful computing (including GPUs) directly into space. What’s the valuation in just doing that alone? Trillionsssss I shared my entry minutes after buying at 2.8B Mcap. Too late? Don’t know. But if you buy now and stock drops. Congrats, you are the jinx.

@steipete @_egzim Awesome, which do you think is best for managing openclaw within a team environment (and why)? I'm leaning towards discord due to it's topics functionality. Thanks again for this incredible crustation

Sooo I got MS Teams, I got Telegram, and I'm just onboarding @_egzim to make our Slack channel integration amazing! Claw level ↑🦞

Germany is now advising people to stock up on cheese and sausages. This is called the Wurst Käse scenario

Chamath's best trade idea for 2026 is not a stock. It is copper. "We are still completely underestimating how short we are in terms of the global demand and supply dynamics of a handful of critical elements that we need. The asset that is set up to go absolutely parabolic is copper. The reason is that it is, at least as it stands today, the most useful, cheap, and amenable conductive material that we have That material manifests in everything from our data centers, to chips, to our weapon systems. It is just everywhere, everywhere, everywhere"

After months of hard work, we have bipartisan text ready for Thursday’s markup. I urge my Democrat colleagues: don’t retreat from our progress. The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act will provide the clarity needed to keep innovation in the U.S. & protect consumers. Let’s do this!

Apparently, if you can see a hot air balloon, you're left-brained, and if you can see a jellyfish, you're right-brained. What do you see?

1. Global Moving Services Market (Closest Proxy for Human Packing) The "Moving Services (Mover And Packers) Market" is the closest measurable proxy for the human packing component of logistics. This market heavily relies on human labor for packing, loading, and unpacking personal or commercial items. Size (2025 Estimate): Approximately $110.97 billion globally. Forecast: Expected to reach around $143.18 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.23%. Key Detail: The full-service relocation segment, which includes professional human packing, accounted for 65% of the market share in 2024. 2. Global "Service Packaging" Market This market focuses on packaging that is not filled until it reaches the final supplier or distributor (like bags, boxes, cups, and wrapping film for retail and food service). This segment often involves manual or semi-manual filling/packing at the point of sale or final distribution. Size (2024 Estimate): Approximately $120.65 billion globally. Forecast: Expected to reach around $173.77 billion by 2032. 3. Overall Global Packaging Market (Total Industry) For comparison, the entire global packaging market (materials, equipment, and services, both automated and manual) is vastly larger: Size (2024 Estimate): Approximately $1.08 trillion to $1.24 trillion globally. Forecast: Projected to grow to around $1.45 trillion to $1.69 trillion by 2034. Conclusion on Manual Packing: The core manual packing industry (human labor) is most closely reflected in the Moving Services Market, suggesting the value of dedicated human packing services is in the range of tens of billions of US dollars annually, but this does not account for the countless manual packing hours that occur within every other industry (e.g., e-commerce warehouses, small businesses, artisanal goods, or last-mile fulfillment).

At this point, in dont get it anymore. Yes, it looks impressive. But whats the use-case other than proving that, well, it can get up fast and run?

My wife and I need to buy a car. Looking at a $30-35k budget. Was thinking Toyota Rav4 Hybrid, slighly used. Any other good suggestions?

You’re missing the point. If the interest rate on a loan is favorable, leverage can actually work in your favor. When you take out a loan, you get a lump sum of capital up front — if you invest that into an asset that appreciates faster than your loan’s effective interest rate, you come out ahead. Real estate is a common example: over time, property values tend to rise faster than the cost of borrowing, especially in inflationary environments. On top of that, the loan is denominated in fiat currency, which consistently loses purchasing power due to inflation. That means you’re repaying the debt with “cheaper” dollars in the future, while your real asset holds or gains value in real terms. The key is not just the loan term itself, but the relationship between the cost of borrowing, the rate of appreciation, and inflation. When those align in your favor, debt becomes a wealth-building tool rather than a burden. Don't be a moron.

in a 50 year mortgage, after 20 years, you would have paid off roughly 12% of the principal of the mortgage anyone who would get a 50 year mortgage is a moron anyone who would push a 50 year mortgage is a moron

What do you say?

I think you've missed some critical points - most importantly the point on inflation. 1. The Role of Affordability vs. Total Cost The chart shows how slow principal paydown is on a 50-year term — but ignores affordability pressure. A 30-year payment ($2,998) vs. 50-year ($2,632) is a $366 difference — about 12% lower. For many borrowers, that $366/month difference is the difference between qualifying or not under debt-to-income rules. The tradeoff isn’t between renting and owning — it’s often between owning now vs. never owning. So: yes, the 50-year loan is dramatically slower to build equity, but for some, it’s a gateway to homeownership rather than a long-term strategy. 2. Inflation and Nominal Payment Lock-In In real terms, fixed payments lose value over time. Over 30–50 years, inflation erodes the real cost of those payments. If inflation averages even 2.5%, the borrower’s real payment burden falls sharply after a decade. Rent, by contrast, generally increases with inflation — so long-term owners may still win despite high interest expense. Thus, the 50-year loan is effectively a bet on future inflation. 3. Opportunity Cost of Capital The 50-year loan frees up roughly $366/month, or about $4,400/year. If that money is: invested in higher-yield assets (e.g., equities or a business), or used to pay down higher-interest debt, the total net worth outcome might still beat the 30-year payoff schedule. Of course, this assumes financial discipline — which most people lack — but the tradeoff is conceptually valid. 4. Mobility and Turnover Reality Most homeowners don’t hold a mortgage for 30 years, let alone 50. The median ownership period in the U.S. is 13 years. That means most people never reach the “50% principal” mark on either mortgage. So the relevant comparison isn’t the total interest over 50 years — it’s how much principal you build in the first decade vs. how much flexibility you gain in cash flow.

I ran a side-by-side comparison of a 30-year vs. 50-year mortgage on a $500,000 loan at 6% interest. Here are the takeaways: In a 30-year mortgage, 17% of your payments in the beginning of the loan go toward principal. In a 50-year mortgage, only 5% goes to principal. In a 30-year, 25% of your payment goes to principal by year 7. In a 50-year, that doesn't happen until year 26. In a 30-year, 50% of your payments goes to principal by year 18. In a 50-year, that takes 38 years. Here's the bottom line: 30 years is already an insanely long period of time to finance a purchase. If you're going to get a 50-year mortgage, you might as well just rent and let someone else deal with major repairs and capex.
