You might actually be the reason your favorite snacks keep getting discontinued. Consumers who keep buying niche or soon-to-be-discontinued items are what market researchers call "harbingers of failure." Brands look at past purchase data and demographics during early testing to spot these buyers, then treat their interest as a... show more

🚨Governor DeSantis says he is about to sign legislation that will effectively BLOCK hyperscale AI data centers from coming to Florida! “They come in and these big tech companies are building these massive data centers that take up as much power as a city of half a million people. Well guess what? Supply and demand. Do you think your electricity rates go up when that happens? Yes, it does. So this would BLOCK that basically. No rate payer should have to pay ONE RED CENT because of big tech and we'll be one of the first states to do it!”

co-founder of Ramp, Eric Glyman on hiring: "We often like to write very short job descriptions. If there's one thing that matters, go just for that. Have the interviews center around just one thing and look for extraordinary spikes." some of the early hires at Ramp were 15 or 17 and known in the Minecraft community for being kids making private servers and building successful businesses to pay their way through college. their code wouldn't pass a Google review, but it was an early sign that they could build something from nothing, figure out the hard parts, and ship it to real users. as we build out the team at Lyra, this is something I keep coming back to, because as Eric said: "It's so hard to be excellent at anything. And if you can find someone who is excellent at something, even if it's very distinct or weird or a certain hobby, that's a sign that someone probably has what you're really looking for."

Senator Alex Antic ahead of the curve as always! One of the first to ask ‘what is a woman’, warned about digital ID early on and now is raising the red flag over these massive AI data centres. ‘My greatest fear is that we are effectively waving through the nerve centres of a future surveillance state.’ Echoing the concerns of experts like Richard Werner who warned that the real reason for these centres is to implement CBDCs. One of the few politicians with integrity and conviction.

Scott Reid on people saying "don't take Trump's bait": No, get angry. We need to keep in mind that these are shit people and that even on the rare occasions when they might be right about something, they are fundamentally wrong about everything. And they most certainly do not believe that we are a nation who ought to be free to make our own choices, that we are instead just a colony of people with some resources that they wish to drain dry. Their view of us, their derision toward us is manifest in all of these communications. So don't dismiss it.

Tony Robbins would always ask is it Your Mother or Your Father’s? And he’ll follow that up with: “Who did you have to be to receive mom or dad’s love as a kid?” And then people sit there. Some people are like… and then they have an answer, or they pop—start crying. Why is that question so powerful? One of the reasons is because “who you had to be to receive your mom and dad’s love as a kid” becomes a role that many people take on for their whole entire life. If you had to be a people-pleaser to make your dad or mom happy, you might be an adult that’s pleasing everyone, feeling drained, and carrying the burden of that. And when you get to that core, you realize that the way you relate to mom and dad becomes the standard—the lens through which you believe you relate to everybody else. So if there’s unresolved energy from childhood where you believe that, as a kid, you had to be a certain way to receive mom or dad’s love. You may assume that that’s how you need to be in order to receive anyone else’s love. So one of the most powerful things to realize is that when you begin to connect to that inner child part of you—the part of you that may have not felt seen, heard, soothed, or nurtured… Or that believed your worth was connected to what you do… you can then realize that the role you may have taken on as a child is not who you really are. It’s just a strategy to feel connected. And when you begin to see, hear, soothe, and nurture that inner child… You may then realize that you no longer have to live in that role—and that then you become free. via Aaron Doughty

‼️ Donald Trump just posted the video saying any immigrant that comes to America and demand we change our culture is not an immigrant, they are an invader and must be removed “Just so we we’re clear, if a foreigner comes to your country and demands that you accept their culture as your culture or demands that you change your beliefs, that is not a foreigner, that is not an immigrant. What that is, is an invader. That is someone that is coming over to your space to take over and invade it. So when you sit there and you look at what's happening in New York, you look at what's happening in Texas, you look at what's happening in the places where these people came from, you look at Somalia, you look at all of these individuals who are being put into a position of power who support this type of invasion. You need to understand what's coming next. - They will take away our weapons - They will tell us that we cannot eat certain foods - They will tell us that we cannot go to certain places - They will tell that our women that they have to wear certain clothes - They will tell them that they have to dress modest. They will forced them to do a lot of different things. - You will have to deal with people praying in the middle of the street while you're driving and stopping you and invading your movement, your space You need to understand what's taking place in America so that you can understand that these people are not coming here with good intentions. This is not me saying that I hate people. This is me basically saying, look, if you like the fact that America is a free place where you get the freedom to believe in what religion you want to, to believe in. If you get the freedom to decide what you want to do as long as nobody is getting hurt. If you love that part of America, the freedom of choice part of America, you need to understand when people come over and they say that you don't have a choice, they probably should go because you don't get to tell us what to do in our own country. It's not being rude. It's just saying, hey, look, this country was built in a way where everybody can come here and feel happy and feel blessed. And enjoy the fact that this is a free nation, not a nation that will be enslaved by any Foreigner invading it”

Buying memecoins and other volatile assets on a credit card is almost worse than leverage "Story of the day for how not to invest: buy meme coins with credit cards on Robinhood Wallet and FOMO, appears to sidestep card network rules." "The Block did some sleuthing, and they were able to buy meme coins directly through Robinhood Wallet and FOMO using ordinary credit cards connected through Apple Pay and Google Pay using checkout system Crossmint. What's interesting is you're not supposed to be able to do that because many card issuers restrict cryptocurrency purchases. They think crypto transactions are treated as cash advances, which carry higher fees. Well, these were labelled as digital goods, digital assets, not as crypto specifically, more like buying digital art." "The real story here is don't buy volatile assets on credit cards. Interest to buy a meme coin that could go to zero before your transaction actually goes through. I think the average hold time for these things is less than five minutes. This is almost worse than leverage. Buying it on a credit card with a high interest rate that inevitably will send you into bankruptcy is not the way to interact with meme coins or the broader crypto market or probably any financial asset."

Most luxury beliefs are created in elite universities. Many of the people who come up with these ideas may have an end goal that looks something like a socialist utopia or the toppling of capitalism as it exists today. They may believe that people are suffering from a Marxist idea called false consciousness. In other words, they think people do not understand what is really happening, and that we need to wake them up. So they set out to spread these ideas. There is also a belief that anything that goes against traditional Western norms or values must automatically be good. Some people may spread these ideas with bad intentions, but I think that as these ideas move through elite media and then into the upper and upper-middle classes, most people come to believe they must be good. These ideas are often presented in a way that appeals to people's desire to feel moral. They also appeal to a uniquely elite desire to feel special and different. You are told that you will be unique, sophisticated, and interesting. You will be able to perform the intellectual gymnastics needed to reach a conclusion that goes against what most people in society believe. But there is often an unspoken sense of snobbery behind this. It suggests that ordinary people may not know what is best for them. Instead, it is the people who went through elite institutions who supposedly know better.

"If you have ambitions to be a Professor at Yale, Harvard, or one of these big institutions, the way you do that is mostly by getting funding for research. It's by getting a lot of publishing - a lot flying around the world to talk about something. You need all of these things to bolster your reputation as an international expert in this area. Now, the best way to do that, at least in psychiatry but I suspect in other areas of medicine, is actually to collaborate with pharmaceutical companies to run clinical trials. They write the publications for you - most of it, they do a lot of the grunt work, they give you the protocols, and then, essentially, they fund you and fly you around the place. I used to remember, as a junior doctor, looking up to the Professors. And they would say, 'These drugs are safe and effective. There's not a lot of problems there.' ...What I've seen more and more is that they've been compromised, and that they have incentives tied to the money and to career advancement. That means that they can't be as forthright as they ought to be about these things. And it's gotten to a problem where these are the Professors who are training the doctors who are setting the tone for what is acceptable care out there. And I think that's one of the biggest problems out there." - @taperclinic

"One of the very confusing things about the models right now: how to reconcile the fact that they are doing so well on evals. And you look at the evals and you go, 'Those are pretty hard evals.' But the economic impact seems to be dramatically behind. There is [a possible] explanation. Back when people were doing pre-training, the question of what data to train on was answered, because that answer was everything. So you don't have to think if it's going to be this data or that data. When people do RL training, they say, 'Okay, we want to have this kind of RL training for this thing and that kind of RL training for that thing.' You say, 'Hey, I would love our model to do really well when we release it. I want the evals to look great. What would be RL training that could help on this task?' If you combine this with generalization of the models actually being inadequate, that has the potential to explain a lot of what we are seeing, this disconnect between eval performance and actual real-world performance"

$The Fed and Wall Street want you focused on AI as the story of growth. Look at where the money is actually going. Hyperscalers are about to flood the market with tens of billions in bonds. That capital has to come from somewhere. Every dollar that funds a data center is a dollar not funding a mortgage, a bank bond, an industrial company. Meanwhile the jobs that should come with a real industrial revolution aren't showing up. Hiring is flat. Younger workers are vanishing from payrolls. And a data center, once built, runs on a tiny fraction of the workforce the spending implies. The productivity gains that were supposed to justify all this are nowhere to be found yet, and may not show up for years. Which raises the real question nobody in the headlines is asking: what is all this capital actually buying.$

CHAMATH: LET ELON DO HIS JOB, WE WILL BE BETTER OFF AS A SPECIES “At the end of the day, whether you like his style or not, his substance is irrefutable. Maybe he may mistweet from time to time, my point is, who cares? Your job as a smart investor is to separate the facts and the news from the fiction and the noise, and all of that stuff doesn't matter. It does not change the fact that tens of thousands of consumers are buying that car faster than they can get their hands on it. It doesn't change that the minute you sit inside that car, your definition of what is expected is altered forever. And you wonder why every other car around you that you ever step in that you may buy doesn't have the same things that that car offers. If you take a five year step-back and say, what did he promise in 2014 to what he's doing in 2019, you'd be ecstatic. Similarly, if you take a step back and say, from 2019 to 2024, let the man do his job, will we be better or worse off as a planet, as a species, as humanity, as consumers? We will be better off.” Source: Chamath Palihapitiya on CNBC, May 2019

🚨 JUST IN: USDA Sec. Brooke Rollins reveals that nearly 100% PERCENT of blue states are HIDING SNAP DATA, despite the federal government finding SNAP recipients driving luxury cars... ...500,000 people getting more than one benefit, and 200,000+ DEAD PEOPLE 🤯 "The fraud is rampant. We know that it is all the Republican governors and two Democrat governors said, yes, we want to be a part of this." "What we have found in those states that have more guardrails than Minnesota or New York or California, you know, a couple hundred thousand dead people, half a million people getting more than one benefit." "I mean, people driving luxury cars. But the other blue states, including the three that you mentioned, sued us. So we are in massive litigation right now, trying to get that data so that we can better serve the American taxpayer!" "But what Vice President is talking about is codifying that language so that it would require that data sharing so that we don't have to be in this back and forth with these blue states."

Kevin O’Leary says people in credit card debt shouldn’t be buying coffee “If you have a credit card balance that goes into the next month and you’re spending $5 on a coffee, you’re crazy” “I’ll give you permission to buy a coffee for $5 if you have no balance on your credit card at the end of the month” “The reason I own all the credit card companies is people are paying 23% interest” “Why would you do that to yourself? I can’t make 23% in the market every year. Why would you let someone do that to you?” “So no, no coffees for you except the one you make at home for 19 cents unless you pay off your credit card”

. Jeremy Boreing asked me how we can help young men find meaning and purpose. Not philosophically…practically. First, I addressed what we are doing wrong. We are not meeting them where they are, on their terms, and until we do that, they won’t be receptive. Gen-Z is not proactively seeking advice, so we have to bring it to them. Second, we need to acknowledge that certain things in their life ARE hard. Too many in the “older” generations are not acknowledging this and simply telling them to “suck it up.” But…we then need to demonstrate to them that life has always been hard and we need to give them that perspective. How do we do this? Make “rites of passage” great again. Getting your driver’s license (I meet so many young people who simply Uber everywhere and thus never got a license). Making the varsity football team (so many young people gave up on sports during Covid). Asking a girl on a date: face-to-face. You become a “legal” adult on your 18th birthday. But you become an actual adult when you acquire enough life experiences that deem you mature enough to BE an adult and these come through rites of passage. Right now we have a generation of young males trying to “learn” manhood from the manosphere which is the definition of immaturity. A “rite of passage” is about triumphing through and beyond something. The manosphere’s business model is to keep young men stuck. It creates followers, not leaders. Perhaps the most important rite of passage we can provide these young men right now is to leave this nonsense and go on with building their lives on their own terms. Young men need the dirt under their fingernails that comes from REAL life experiences, not the calluses on their fingers that come from constant screen swipes.

Young men need the dirt under their fingernails that comes from REAL life experiences, not the calluses on their fingers that come from constant screen swipes.

The Idea of NHI on Earth. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 🔥"The gravity of it goes up a whole lot if it goes from the theoretical to the verified." ~Dr. Phil 🔥 "There have been people that have reported being abducted over the years. What's the intent behind that? Is it medical? Is it more nefarious?" ~BZ to Dr. Phil (I'm so glad Bryce went there.) "There will be people...who likely are going to need some some assistance to help deal with this because it is so far-reaching and for some people, potentially, very frightening." ~Mellon ~ Dr. Phil: "We know in the last 80 years there have been no overt hostile acts that we know about. That doesn't mean there could be things happening that are attributable to these forces that we don't know about. But, we certainly don't have any attacks that we can attribute to these UAPs or whatever." (Well, there's Colares in 1977. If that was non-human in nature, I'd say that qualifies as overt. And the Thomas Mantell incident in 1948 where he crashed and died after pursuing a UFO. Was that overt? Unfortunately, we don't know what happened and probably never will.) Dr. Phil: "And if the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior, I think people can take some comfort in knowing that if they were gonna melt us with a ray gun or something of that nature, they've had ample opportunity to do that. "They may have been here 1000 years before we were here. Who knows what the situation is? But we do know that as long as we've been monitoring this and tracking it, there have been no overt hostile acts and I think people can take some comfort in that, and should." (See the work of Peter Levenda for a deeper look at that. "They might have been attacking us for centuries already, in ways that make sense to them... What if they are attacking us through the manipulation of consciousness? ~Peter Levenda More... ⬇️⬇️⬇️ ~ (I'm glad Bryce pushed back a bit.) Bryce Zabel: "They should. The only thing I would say is, if we're dealing with a non-human intelligence - or an NHI, as we like to say now - we'd have to assume that they think differently than us. So even in our own world, in the United States, we tend to think in four-year terms because of presidential terms, right? So you can't get something off the ground if it can't get done right away. The Chinese may think in 100-year terms when they think about Taiwan or whatever. "It's possible there are alien or non-human intelligences that think in a different time frame. If their time frame was 1000 years, then they could just be getting started. "And on the topic of the nuclear issue, which I share concern of. I mean, I think the nuclear issue means it is at least a national-security issue of some kind. Now, I've heard people talk about this, Dr. Phil, two different ways. Some people say, 'Well, you know, they're looking at our nuclear capabilities because they want to protect us from ourselves.' "Okay, that's great, I hope that's true. But the other would be: what do you do before you actually go to war with anybody, is you do reconnaissance. You try to find out what the other guy has. What are their assets? What are their capabilities?" (That may freak out some people but all angles should be considered.) Zabel: "So, I think the problem that we need to overcome in this country is getting to a place where we understand this phenomenon that we're encountering enough that we can at least start to figure out intent. What is the intent? "There have been people that have reported being abducted over the years. What's the intent behind that? Is it medical? Is it more nefarious? What is it? And so, we got a lot of work to do, and I think that's why I am so supportive of your current efforts because you're, basically, saying, 'Let's get started, people. Let's really take this seriously. Let's quit fooling around and stigmatizing people that want to take it seriously, and let's get to work.' But let's get to work as a human race. Let's start sharing what we know and let's make progress. That's where I'm coming from, too." (Bringing up abductions is important because it IS part of this discussion and it shouldn't be avoided. Kudos to Bryce!) Dr. Phil: "I saw a study that said 71% of Americans believe that there are aliens that have been or are in our earthly space. And it's interesting...I read that in one context, it said, 'Look, this is not going to be such a big deal if this gets verified.' "You know, there's one thing to say that in the abstract, like, 'Yeah, I think yeah probably there are.' It's a whole other different situation if you turn around and see somebody standing there. The gravity of it goes up a whole lot if it goes from the theoretical to the verified. (100%. That's my favorite part of the interview and it's so true.) Dr. Phil: "And I hope that we are going to put enough context around this, particularly knowing that there are segments of our population that are very vulnerable. There are some elderly folks that aren't up on technology and might be overwhelmed by the reality of this. "We have certain populations that might be easily disoriented or destabilized in the mental emotional fringes of the population. And I worry about those that are easily exploitable. You know, you need to get out of the urban areas, buy our buried school bus in the mountains, and you'll be safe forever. You know the con artists and the scammers are going to find every opportunity to prey upon those that are concerned and worried about this. "And I think we need to be prepared to take care of those that might be destabilized by this information that's coming out right now, we can't pretend they aren't there. We've made those mistakes in the past, like during COVID, for example. There are those that are more impacted than others, and we need to be prepared to handle that." Christopher K. Mellon: "We, recently, commissioned a study by a group of six psychologists, PhD psychologists, on this topic of how the public would receive this information. And it was generally very encouraging. And what they found was that the great bulk of the population, as they have in the past with other epical changes such as the Copernican principle, or evolution, or general relativity, it takes people a while to process this information. There's a period of resistance. But most people will get up, get out of bed, go to work the next day. They're not devastated, even though there's nothing quite comparable to this, perhaps." (There's no perhaps. A government or respected figure admitting that we're not alone on this planet would be unprecedented and there is NOTHING we can compare it to.) Mellon: "What the study did find is that there is likely, however, to be a subset of people, maybe 15% of the population, that are going to need some help. And that we are not necessarily prepared in our present state to provide that kind of assistance, and we need to be doing more to get ready for that." (If he's talking world population, that's about 1.2 BILLION people who are going to need some help dealing with this. Holy crap. 😬) Mellon: "And also, to work on the messaging. The messaging is so important, clear and consistent messaging from the government, trying to develop trust with the American people so that the information is is accepted and acted on." (For me, I want the whole truth more than the right "message.") Mellon: "A lot of the difference will be people who can't get their head around it, even though they really understand it. But because of their own belief structure, the architecture of their own belief structure, for some reason, in their particular individual case, it's particularly threatening or disruptive. "So there will be people who fall into that category, according to this study, who likely are going to need some some assistance to help deal with this because it is so far-reaching and for some people, potentially, very frightening."

Me: I try to look at data and trends rather than headlines, because headlines can give you a misleading picture of the state of the world. Something goes wrong every day — that’s guaranteed — and if you just look at something goes wrong and say, oh, things are getting worse, you might be forgetting all the things that went wrong in the past. Andrew Marr: And what we call the news is a long litany of all the things that are getting worse or going wrong. Me: Well, yes, it’s much easier for something bad to happen suddenly than for something good to happen. Good things either creep up on you a few percentage points a year, and sometimes can compound. So the fact that, for example, extreme poverty in the world has been declining and a billion people have escaped extreme poverty over the last 30 years — but not on Thursday — so it was never an event from the news. One of the biggest events in human history is something that most people have never even heard of. Andrew Marr LBC
