European “democracy”: 276 in favor, 314 against becomes law. LMAO the European elites win again! https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/s/D4wDMOlV4M

maybe, maybe not. We can try to rationalize it in hindsight. The true test is if you can predict when it happens ex ante. I would suggest that’s impossible. for example consensus was Fairfax added to TSX will lead to multiple expansion but that didn’t happen

Shorted MU I'm ready to get squeezed, I'm ready

Casual sex has been in decline for some time now. Certainly less than when I was younger. But you may be right that a young high income guy might be viewed more attractively now than then. However if @whatstheofficerproblem meets someone he resonates with (most likely outside the bar scene) there is no reason he cannot meet a woman who he could establish a successful long term relationship with (if he so desires). I would also echo the idea of roommate(s) to share the expense and the experience. If he’s a runner, I would consider living near Central Park.

I don’t know the others besides Terravest but I think there are reasons we can clearly point to for it to get multiple expansion. It’s revenue accelerated which likely attracted quants, it got big enough for large funds to own and then went into the benchmark.

Do you have a source for that or do you just routinely make stuff up?

The problem is that European leaders pretend to be defenders of democracy but are very antidemocratic. The notion of free speech and privacy of communication between individuals from government is very important to individual rights and democracy—even if you might not think so. That’s why autocracies like China don’t have these things. It’s relevant here because it’s just one episode in European leaders’ long history of overregulating businesses (in this case tech companies with end to end encryption) while their economies stagnate. Yeah, you cab believe all the conspiracies you want, but Apple does not have the keys to end to end encrypted communication. They cannot access it. Apple is very serious about privacy. This is not true in China and basically European leaders want to do the same thing: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/17/technology/apple-china-privacy-censorship.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

IIRC Warren was upset by the implication that Susie was less than thrilled by how their marriage/relationship turned out. That’s how Alice has explained her lack of access anyway.

37 years ago is like 2 @whatstheofficerproblem lifetimes lolz. Both my parents met in the city in the early 80s. 15 years ago was pretty wild, and I can’t even imagine today’s scene.

Good one!

Terravest: Flat multiple for many years below 10x and then boom. Lindbergh, Sygnity, NGTG, Tasmea, Chapters group

I came to NYC and met my wife of 37 years. We met at Lincoln Center. So much for tropes.

Yes I do. I'd tell them the same thing. You go to NYC to make a shit ton of money and party. You dont go there to find a spouse LOL

$130B in data centers currently blocked in the U.S.: https://finance.yahoo.com/technology/ai/articles/130-billion-ai-data-centers-000000041.html $13B came to Canada today via META! https://globalnews.ca/news/11958562/meta-sturgeon-county-data-centre-groundbreaking/ It's been a great month in Canada so far with many other announcements from investors and the Canadian government. Trump's attitude may have been the best kick in the butt Canada needed and Carney is doing everything he can to inject growth, security, trust and investment into Canada. He's focused on working with the Premiers of every province rather than undermining them. Cheers!

Works better if you just buy the drinks! Free drinks always work best...same with bottle service in Vegas. You generally will get the interest of those there to party and have fun. Wasting time trying to impress them with your job leaves you feeling stupid and doesn't really work unless you are a celebrity. Cheers!

C'mon...geez! Do you have daughters or nieces? Why didn't you use the male equivalent of whore? Cheers!

Couple of short videos on Prince Edward Island if anyone is interested............

Yes, probably a day trip to Miquelon. Was proud to see it included in Peaky Blinders...actually, they talk about and use Canada quite a bit in Peaky Blinders. Cheers!

Very cool. That’s it I’m planning a Canada trip.

Will do.

I'm sure Facebook will sell any private data to the highest bidder with no problem, as it did in the past. I don't see a reason for them to exclude government agencies from this business. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy_concerns_with_Facebook : Apple can certainly access your information, because they control the operating system on your smartphone via cloud, which has all your decryption keys. But it's good for the business of selling smartphones to publicly reject law enforcement requests.

Reddit is a similar echo-chamber, just with a different bias and better moderation. "Commission can just tweak the wording and propose it again while Parliament can only fight it" - that's an absurd wording. The Parliament is the gatekeeper, and any proposal must get their approval to get traction. They don't have to "fight", because if they do nothing then it won't be passed. People here somehow confuse and mix democracy and privacy. In this case I don't see any threat to democracy, but there is some threat to privacy. For example, in the US privacy is quite bad, but democracy is very strong (despite Trump's efforts). I still don't understand how this discussion is relevant to investing, because in China both democracy and privacy are weak, yet the economy is doing well currently.
