What is 2 3? Mainstream economics: 5 MMT: CONSIDER for a moment the expression 2 3. Now this expression is perhaps best considered in the form of an accounting formula 2 3 = 4 1, in which the left side represents assets and the right side represent liabilities.

I thought AWS S3 had a shitty, user hostile API. But, wow, Google Cloud Storage is so much worse. You can't even download files without downloading a command line tool

My forecast for the Lou Pai "got away with it" memorial award for tether is JL Van Der Velde. Of course for the FTX saga, @AlamedaTrabucco won it handily with his incredible move of "leave to be on a boat 6 months before collapse"

Gen-Z is losing their minds in their first recession… I’ve been through three of these as an adult… they suck, they last a couple of years, but they make you stronger. Just focus on adding skills and put in 2 more hours a day than your hardest working peers and you’ll come out in the top 10% of your cohort Or check out and teach yoga/skiing and sleep on someone’s couch (not kidding, it’s an option!)
Community note
The United States is not in recession, GDP grew in real (inflation adjusted) terms over the three months prior to this tweet being posted and at a rate greater than prior quarters abcnews.go.com/Business/us-ec…
