I would correct the title to "doing everything in persuit to minimize any negative judicial outcome possible". Maddoff was portrayed as cold hearted criminal and got 100+ years in jail. SBF is trying as hard as he can to paint a d

Urbit going mainstream? Back to the the point of the article: AFAIK urbit (groups at least) still rely on central server in the sense that each group is hosted by a single server. Won't this server have the legal responsabilities of wh

The main reason I never stopped using Evernote is that somehow I got "stuck" on a personal plan that never really got updated for at least 7 years. I live in a high inflation country and right now I'm paying the equivalent of

"companies exist to make money" and "investors Invest to make money" are very poor arguments. In what time horizon do companies/investors expect to make and how much money? This investor bought in since 2017. Has th

Seems like a good thing to have a few large corp instances run by well funded orgs. This lowers the pressure on the smaller instances and allow them to be more strict on how many users they are able to support

> Part of the American dream is that the feeling that there is no rigid social class. Everyone is a millionaire down on their luck. You only need to work harder or be more clever—ideally both. Recently I have been thinking in this vein t

IMO the main limitation preventing GDP from being a much better indicator of national success is due to its inability to show how growth - or more importantly - wealth is distributed. Obviously, wealth distribution is critical part of makin
