I think the article makes a good case why the difference in chair matters - ending forward guidance - confusing wording around what the target is now (pce vs “other stuff”) - The fact that he was appointed specifically to not raise rates

None of the applies to Mr. Powell whom the market seems to have put a great deal of trust in

This is so sadly true. I nostalgically remember early social media with the linear feed of things directly from friends as being a fun and positive place.

I think the point they are trying to make is that in the terms of service Google says they get to define what is malware (halfway through article) so the author is trying to point out that exact danger: what happens when Google gets to randomly call things malware.

They also don’t have…a login page with authentication . To access the console you get an email link. No passkeys, passwords, 2fa, just an email.

I also just did this! My solution was to automate creation of a set of static html pages that I view in the “experimental” kindle browser. It’s set to scrape a paper and build the site at 6am every morning. That was I don’t have to mess with the file transfers, and it’s there waiting for me when I wake up. Also I can mess with the layout a bit easier. Only downside is that I have to have next/back buttons rather than tapping on the screen.

Love the idea and hope you are successful. I really think there is a lot of value to be unlocked in sharing/renting tools. In my area we have a tool library which is handy.

Some ideas: - I would focus a lot of effort on making it incredibly easy and intuitive to list things. This is one of the primary barriers to me when using these types of apps. - maybe future idea would be to list things from Home Depot or other stores to expand the number of rentals that are available.

Cool idea. Not sure exactly, but when it went to the jury duty section I just got the same question a bunch of times.

Been a fan of Scott’s for awhile. Don’t agree about everything but I think this video calls out the most important systemic problems.
