The worst and lowest signal people think nothing good can come of it, so the opposite is all but guaranteed
Possible outcomes:
- Overall tariffs actually get reduced as other countries face the consequences of reciprocity, velocity of money increases in lower tariff environment
- New tariffs get applied and this crushes foreign currencies reliant on dollar exports, US consumers barely notice as dollar purchasing power increases while the foreign countries get margin called
- The markets shit a kitten and forces Fed capitulation later in the week, giving the Treasury Sec nearly complete control
- This sets something even spicier with China into motion, an operationalized "black swan" event that leads to an even bigger globo-economic restructuring
Order emerges from chaos so I'd expect some combination of all of these.
I would slightly disagree, not to say that ain't no problems but there are less issues with them.
First off, you do need a password manager; no human can remember all the different passwords to all the resources you access. With that in place, you need to pick one that meets your criteria - namely, to support passkey and hopefully on all platforms you use (MacOS, Linux, Web, Windows, whatever). After that is settled and you have your password manager on your windows, your mac , your browser and iPhone, life gets easier since you store them in your smart password manager. The icky feeling I have is still you have to "trust" someone (your smart password manager provider) not to f-up (tall order one might think) and keep you safe. That is a risk not everyone is willing to take. So, in my humble opinion, passkeys are not inherently bad; it's the implementation you choose that is important and worth a lot of your time to plan properly and educate your users.
I've listened to the passkey pitch a few times and Im still not sold. This quote makes a great point. I've tested them with Bitwarden and they work but I am a long way from sold on them replacing passwords and being better than passwords and 2FA combined. If someone doesn't resuse passwords and uses 2FA passwords aren't really a problem IMO.
I guess you could say that passkeys make you use a tool but that's also the barrier to entry.
What do you think about specifying "lightning" wallet in that first sentence, so there's no confusion.
Then you hit them with the word lightning early and more than once.
Is he going to go way overboard?
I don't think he will but people will narrate that it's so.
Will the tarrifs be semi reasonable?
I believe they will.
Will he stop creating uncertainty in the market?
No. Because "the market" is Wall Street and they're sacrificing that "in favor of Main Street", which means chaos. (I'm having trouble finding the Fox & Friends episode where this was stated last month - does anyone have it?)
On that note, if you combine this with more than a handful of my friends/relatives in Europe currently actively pursuing what they call deamericanization - which generally means getting rid of all Apple, FB, Google and MS stuff because that's easy - the effects of that won't show up on trade balances because it's not so much goods but services, digital services in particular, where America reigns in the rest of the West. They're gonna hurt though, and if we can push a bunch of Euros to use FOSS then the world has a chance of getting a little better.
Never. Bend. The. Knee.

Servers, SAN solutions, API management, they now own Hashicorp... lots of things. Ear to the ground suggests that they are losing market share though - i know lots of former customers, but not many current customers.
just met another top builder alum who got the job of their dreams, she said thanks to top builder
that just made my day 💫
It's very cool but I expect their effect to be waning as they have a flaw in the fact that the end of the bat produces very weak contact. While you are unlikely to hit a ball very hard off the end of the bat with a traditional bat, many such hits do fall for soft singles in the outfield. This is unlikely with the new bat. You are more likely to hit a soft ground ball.
This tradeoff for more power in other plate appearances is reasonable but pitchers will adjust to this reality and throw more pitches on the outside edges of the plate trying to induce weak contact.
What we may continue to see is more extremes in hitting where players hit for a low average but more power, which is what the analysts love because hitting is hard and it is difficult for teams to string hits together to score runs.
@Undisciplined made a good point on the pod that as pitchers adjust to the hitters and hitters then adjust to the pitchers adjustment eventually we may see a plethora of different bat styles similar to the various clubs for different situations you would have in golf. So I may use a traditional bat against a certain pitcher in a certain situation but a torpedo bat in another situation and the next iteration of torpedo bat that seeks to address the flaws in this one and so on.
It's certainly fun to ponder and discuss. Not sure how much it ultimately adds to the game.
Maybe @k00b will let each territory have its own credits.
I used to fix this just by using the keyboard on another app. AFAIK Apple does have this problem randomly, but not just on PWA

This is an interesting angle that gets overlooked. You hear a lot of concern about retaliatory tariffs, as though other countries don't already have more protectionist measures than the US.
