Grim-sounding headline I know, but I actually had fun researching this, thinking it through, and writing it up.

Excited to formally introduce Vercel Labs. https://t.co/zCNVryaiin is the home for the in-public research and experimentation arm of Vercel. 247 million downloads in, we wanted to, also in public, share what we're supporting, what we're researching, and what experiments didn't pan out. Kudos to @ctatedev and @cramforce for shaping this great initiative and iterating in public. Related

German developer; founder and lead developer of Mastodon, the decentralized open-source social network.
RE: https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/117117221397911074 After hearing feedback from people struggling with #Mastodon’s layout and navigation for a long time I’m really looking forward to these changes. And I’m really impressed with the work @imanijoy has put into researching user needs with surveys, interviews, and round tables. I feel like the community has never been so represented in the design process before. The screenshots are marked “in progress” for a reason though—it’s a process. Related

Economist; Professor of the Practice of Economic Policy at Harvard, nonresident senior fellow at the Peterson Institute, and Chairman of the US Council of Economic Advisers from 2013 to 2017.
PCE inflation came in high. And the details were even more worrying than the headline as the risk of inflation mounting outside the tariff/Iran affected sectors. Core PCE annual rate: 1 month: 3.9% 3 months: 3.5% 6 months: 4.1% 12 months: 3.4% inflation Related

Economist; Professor of the Practice of Economic Policy at Harvard, nonresident senior fellow at the Peterson Institute, and Chairman of the US Council of Economic Advisers from 2013 to 2017.
Looking at today's headlines on inflation I want to re-up this. Is a peculiarity that 100% of the jobs focus is 1-month while majority of inflation focus is 12-months. If May-25 jobs was 400K & May-26 was 300K the 12-month number would go down but no headline or even line in the article would be "job growth stalled in May". Quoting @jasonfurman I mostly avoid media criticism because the reporters that write these stories 100% understand all the issues I'm raising and are consistent over time. But I wish the editorial choices would move away from a focus on 12-month changes, reversing headlines and subheads. inflation Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
