If India does not buy oil from Russia, it will buy oil from ME which will put an upward pressure on an already expensive oil.

This will further drive up the inflation in the west.

I haven't explored the 'Effective Altruism' section of that site.

I frequent the Economics and AI section. Those sections have a high signal to noise ratio.

Can get snobbish sometimes, you are right.

That's awesome.

Some things that can be improved:

- The font is too small. Perhaps you could increase font size so users don't have to zoom in.

Also, did you a framework to generate plaintext front-end or is it hand crafted?

Do not forget the influencers.

I know 16yr olds with zero coding skills earning 100k+ annually. All they do is peddle web3 APIs on twitter.

We live in a bizarre world.

I am a dev with 6+ years of experience.What is happening to the dev market? I can't help but notice a trend.On twitter, I see 17 year old devs pulling in 120k+ annual income [1].At 17, I had not even started my college yet.Is this the new normal?It all seems to be a bit surreal seeing teenagers make so much money in high school while they struggle to even make a proper git commit.[1]...

The internet is fine.

I would change the web.

I would remove JS and design browsers to natively run python instead.

We just don't have the infrastructure for this.

Too much red tape. I will believe it when I see it.
