Thank God I'm out of there.

It took decades an many lives to get there, people tend to forget that.

... because discovery of videos is not solved. Looking for relevant content on Peertube is a chore.

Quite the opposite: social sciences are still a pretty young field where repeatable, predictable results are not easy to come by and only work on a statistical level. Exciting stuff, but defining "objective" measures is not within our reach in this particular field.

Ranking social media is as subjective as it gets, I do not think there is a "right" way it could be implemented.

I assume you are quite young.

The whole point of using popularity as a measure is the realization that there is no objective way to assess quality in the scenarios where popularity is used. The world is complex and often times quality is highly subjective. That doesn't mean popularity is a good measure, it's just the one we have.

Some caveats: in areas like science there are better measures and popularity should not be used for selection. But again, things aren't always that clear cut.

Too much winning!

I've read multiple times from pretty big names in European economics the US is becoming "uninvestable". Gee, I wonder why!

Maybe in the US. I don't buy much, but when I do I give it great consideration. Once you move past all the popular and hyped stuff, there are great products and services.

If vendors scream in your face, they're usually not worth your time. If something is very popular it's usually overpriced.

If you've been following the economics of AI this is not a surprise. It's also a certainty it will happen, the question is just when. Most expect the AI grift to run out of steam around 2027, but no one can really tell. It's going to be wild.

Because it's a highly irrational stock, essentially a meme-stock. Utterly decoupled from the underlying company, it's price does not follow established market profiles, so any dealings in it are akin to gambling. Since options are usually leveraged, the losses are higher. And as others have stated, Musk has perfected the art of pumping Tesla stock unexpectedly, so betting against it is incredibly risky.

Ach ja, die FDP. Große Töne und am Ende lachhafte Klientel-Politik. Inzwischen mit immer deutlicherem Dreh nach rechts. Ich bezweifle, dass das noch irgendwelche Wähler anspricht.

From some angles it looks cool, but from others it's not very well designed. When it was first unveiled I liked the boldness, but in the end even the design comes apart rather quickly.
