                              From a Parisian very close to me: be wary of falling for the 'rioters & looters' slant on the protests in France. The most consumed press & tv in France is owned by a far right billionaire. Much of the Anglo press is feeding off a take designed to push an anti-immigrant, racist politic. Yes there is looting by some & can hurt small businesses, but what is not shown is the extreme brutality of the police, encircling peacefully protesting kids, teargassing & beating them as they beg for a way out.

And you can make a lot of money in a bubble as long as you get out before the crash. If you think you are better at predicting the timing of the crash, the best strategy is to keep investing and watching the line go up and get out just before the crash. Part of the problem is that everyone who does this inflates the bubble.

                                                                                                And, after a crash, whoever has spare liquidity wins. 2008 showed a lot of rich people that you can make an absolute killing during a crash because there are loads of undervalued assets available. The same thing happened in the 2020 crash. Pretty much anything you bought in the middle of 2020 went up by at least 50% in the next year or two, a lot of things doubled within a year.

                                                                                                Even the Great Depression was like this. People who bought stocks on the margin (borrowed to invest) lost everything. Richer people who invested their own money weathered it and were fine a few years later. The richest, who had either free cash or assets they could borrow against after the crash bought up a load of undervalued shares and made a big pile of money.

I put some books on it and carried it around, and I tried to like it, the way I tried to like my Pinebook. I have something against electronics rotting in drawers, so I kept trying, despite the feeling that the people behind it did not care for it one bit.

                                                                                                                  Unlike the Pinebook, it's well built; it only needed a not-terrible operating system. I've jumped through these hoops before, and it's no different from working on any other embedded platform, except that this time I only had to write the thinnest Varvara emulator I could get away with, and only ever flash the device for critical changes.

                                                                                                                  Since the firmware is just a ROM, I wrote and debugged it all in Uxn11. The device emulator only had to pass the tests, and once it did, whatever I ran on my laptop ran on the device. The result is a document viewer that works equally well on everything with an emulator!

                                                                                                                  I'm not sure exactly where this device fits in my life right now, but it will help with one thing: bringing tickets and QR codes to events, which is always a headache for me without a smartphone or a printer. I might as well have something to read on the way there.
