paul krugman calling for 200-300 bp cuts over the short term 👀

the most sensible, non-political move that wouldn’t scare the markets would be to cut 25 bps, plan to likely cut again in a month, and indicate 100+ bps cuts over the next 6-9 months

whats goin on

we have the richest people and the biggest companies in the world begging to buy more from the current stock market leaders, and people think we're going into a recession? perhaps some day, but not yet.

mars series pt.1

- gravity: 38% of earth
- moons: Phobos & Deimos
- orbital period (time around sun): 687 days
- surface temp: -153 to 20°C, -225 to 70°F
- because the atmosphere is so thin, heat easily escapes - standing on mars' equator at noon, it would be ~24°C (75°F) at your feet and ~0°C (32°F) at your head

Found a bug regarding follower counts: replies/follower is now dramatically different. Newer users actually get *better* engagement per follower than the old users - presumably the result of auto-follow diluting the value of each follower?

If you think these numbers seem way too high - you're not wrong. According to this, with my 20k followers I should get 160 replies on average to my cast, but I get maybe a 10th of that! My best guess is that this is because Warpcast hides a significant amount of replies to your casts (spam/low quality filtering) -- @pichi had documented this extensively. That or another bug in my analysis.

perhaps hiding likes, recasts (and arguably even many replies) should be rare?

let's think about this like a shopping mall - if you only allowed people to enter the mall if they proved they were going to buy something, malls would feel much more dead, leading to even fewer people interested in buying. merely having a lot of activity motivates consumption, even if most present aren't actually contributing.

non-contributive behavior is not necessarily bad

because knowing is finding the limits /outercorps
