Thomas also mentioned in the thread that it seems "Space Falcon" is a real NFT project. The actual domain ends in .io though, and somehow the scammers managed to acquire the .com domain and I'd imagine they'd then only n

Or I guess many people are not dumb at all, they just simply want in and profit as long as the hype is still going and they (hope that they) are not left as the last people holding the bag. They might find all sorts of excuses to try to con

Sounds quite sensationalized and the other way round tbh. Nobody 10000 years ago would have imagined how far we’ve come nowadays as a whole, while stupidity would be more likely limited by the circumstances and conditions of the time.

Interesting how nobody seems to have mentioned React Native here. Its Windows support is still rough round the edges in some situations (e.g. third-party library comparability) but the experience I’ve had so far using it to build a cross-pl

Interesting idea. On the topic of shorting Tether itself, maybe I'm missing something obvious, but exchanges like Kraken actually offer margin trading on pairs such as USDT/USD and USDT/EUR. https://support.kraken.

Your chain of comments sounds naive and presumptuous to me. What does it exactly mean for the US and UK to "dominate" in research, and in which areas? How are only their research "meaningful" while the others aren't

This is exactly why I don't play single-player games anymore, not even JRPGs which are supposed to be more story-focused but which just end up going the safe and mainstream route anyways, especially if they're a big-budget product

The replies seem to be diametrically opposed on whether this is to be expected, which is interesting. I wonder if it depends on the country as well, e.g. whether this is a common thing in the US, while there might be some legal concerns for

Acquisitions are probably much more unpredictable than actual successful IPOs. I guess the investors will always need to have their preferred shares repaid first, and the exit price might even be lower than the last valuation. I have a frie

Agreed. Besides I don’t think that any serious stalker would actually resort to something so standard as AirTag to stalk their victims. Sure it might deter some random would-be stalkers from having this idea, but feels more like a move for

It surely has a limit though. If you don’t have any actual skills and the hours put into acquiring them, but only bluff with buzzwords and delude yourself into believing that you have said skills while in reality you’re far, far from those

Is the writing very strident? To me it didn’t really come across as such, though I guess standards differ when it comes to largely technical writing compared with other types of writing (e.g. on politics).

I made a trip to Ethiopia at the end of 2019. Back then, even though things looked quite normal for foreign tourists, all Tigrayans I chatted to said that a war was probably imminent. And it indeed turned out to be the case. Apparently TPLF

Celibacy might have played a role, though I doubt if the logic is that it "attracts outcasts". If somebody made up their mind to be celibate regardless of whether he is a part of the church or not, I don't think joining the c
