The US is absolutely infested with ads. Visiting from Europe turning on the hotel TV is unwatchable. Also a fair amount of the ads are outright scams. "Buy this rare silver dollar by calling a phone number" LIMITED SUPPLY!! Making

Consulting is extremely broad so talking about it as one group is almost meaningless. Inherently consulting struggles because of two things: 1) Consultants usually consult clients on issues where the clients have little knowledge. So it&#x2

This is a crazy story, well worth reading. No matter what you think about crypto, Sam Bankman-Fried getting rich so he can do as much good in the world as possible is a pretty great outcome. It's funny how he started the arbitraging Bi

Speculation: The other side of this bet is actually Tether itself laughing all the way to the bank as Fir Tree sends them their 15% negative carry (Goldman or equivalent taking 5% for brokering the deal). If the Tether guys know they have t

Research in using psychedelics for mental health (and recreation) is great and delayed by many years due to stupid and misguided regulations. In smaller doses I think most people will experience a positive trip if they have a good set and s

In Denmark we have "Bopælspligt", residency requirement. As the owner of an apartment you are required to make sure someone lives there at least 180 days a year. It seems to work pretty well.

"They expect one of us in the wreckage brother" as one Reddit comment put it. Bobby has to go, no matter if this is "his fault" or not. Shareholders lost a lot of money, Blizzard lost a lot of reputation. It happened on

It seems to me that possibly the highest return on investment a government can do is investing in education. More intelligent people likely impacts tax revenue, crime etc. does anyone know if there are studies done on this?

I think the report is pretty good. It has an obvious bias towards crypto/web3 being great but when you put so much money into it I suppose it kinda has to be that way. As someone who sorta accepts some parts of the crypto narrative and

Clickbait title and no proof at all. HN hates all things crypto so much this gets upvotes even though the quality is less than Buzzfeed. Rates like these are absolutely possible to get using Defi, futures and so on. One example of doing it

Great to see some competition in this space. If someone can make a compelling offering it should be Apple - but it's not easy. Especially I think selling advanced headsets for $3.000 is going to be difficult unless there are really ki

It seems investors are happy to pile cash into SpaceX - not very likely they go bankrupt anytime soon. Valuations: August 2020: 46b [1] Feb 2021: 74b [1] Oct 2021: 100b [2] And I'm sure a lot of private investors would love to buy a pi

Citation needed? Cryptocurrency-related crime fell sharply in 2020 to just under $10 billion worth of total transaction volume. With non-illicit transactions also rising, just 0.34% of all cryptocurrency activity in 2020 was related to crim

- Cryptocurrency will experience a large drawdown (50%+) due to NFTs not being worth anything. They will recover and end next year higher than now. BTC at 80k+. - Inflation is not transitory and the market will panic once the fed raises rat

The 24h volume for BTC is ~33b usd. You can liquidate a lot very quickly. Tesla recently sold ~270m usd worth to test liquidity [1] [1] https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1386821144037236737?lang...

The internet was text. Then came pictures. Then came video. Then came live streaming. Is it really so far fetched to think that the next phase is 3d? It makes sense to me. I don't think we have any idea how it's going to turn out

You can't just deposit large amounts of Monero to an exchange without a REALLY good reason. Monero is a red flag these days.

Really good writeup. I seriously hope Apple are taking notes. Also you gotta wonder if NSO employees know that their work is being used to target human rights activists, lawyers and journalists. I mean that puts you on the level of ransomwa

183 days to try 63 million passwords. Roughly 4 per second by my math.. that seems pretty low to me. Any decent password would be uncrackable in that case - but of course if people mostly use numerical 4 digit passwords that's plenty f
