Ernest Hemingway famously declared in his 1935 book Green Hills of Africa that “All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn. There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since.”

I would like to issue a previous metal backed stable coin and pay interest to the holders.

Where to issue, what are the costs and what system to use?

I need a new linux flavour. How is nix is for you desktop?

The default is a bare-bones GNOME desktop manger (think Ubuntu if you're not familiar).

But of course you could customize it to look like any distro or even something totally new; I use hyprland with a pretty unique setup.

Britain got talent I guess.

They are teenagers. They don't belong in prison, they belong in an any cybercrime agency.

Idk about Britain, but in the US that’s exactly where they’d end up after serving their sentence.

Believe it or not, I am sitting here in botoga in a cafe and drinking coca tea...

Every platform has this problem. Ycombinator even asked explicit to come up for ideas for this problem.

This being said, your idea is not new https://www.traveltechnation.com/companies/piggybee

I still use enlightenment today in the form of Bodhi Linux

Nice. I love if a scammer contacts me. I always send a goatse picture, this does the job

I am pretty sure the US has not 4.2 percent growth

Source?

I live in the US and I have lived in countries with 4-5 gdp growth

The latest US GDP print is the Q3 2025 Initial Estimate, showing real GDP grew at a 4.3% annual rate

https://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/us-economy-grew-thi...

That is an annualised figure, which means they took the Q3 figure by itself and multiplied it by 4. US annualised growth in Q1 would've been -2%.

Between Q1/2/3, US growth has been about 1.6%.

Wait until the whole year figures come out.

And you have to wonder: if they do come out, are they truthful or are they fabricated.

Holiday spending was up 6.8% YoY and the highest spending on record. About 67% of GDP comes from consumer spending.

It's very unlikely the US doesn't have strong GDP numbers for 2025.

K-shaped economy and all that

They are likely referring to Q3/25 numbers [1].

The problem is the AI bubble, without it it is speculated that the US economy might actually be in a recession [2] - effectively, that web of investments, deals, ownerships, purchase contracts and god knows what is nothing more than wash trading that will come crashing down hard.

That is why for the 99%, the economy doesn't "feel" like 4.3% of growth. If you're not in AI directly or at least adjacent (e.g. datacenter or utility construction), you don't feel any of that money.
