With crypto you can transfer your wealth across borders away from oppressive regimes or an incoming army by memorizing 12 words. It's hard to overstate how valuable that is for anyone who finds themselves in that position, and it'

Germany shutting down their most reliable source of clean energy, nuclear energy, is an incredible self own. Hopefully now they will reverse that and quickly for all our sake.

That's highly relevant! China may spend 1/3, but they are more efficient. We probably waste 1/2 or more of our spending. So it's possible we are closer to parity than it would appear if solely comparing budget.

Russia recognized weakness and appears to be correct about that. The head of the German army just confirmed they are not prepared! Google translation and source below. "In my 41st year of peacetime service, I would not have believed th

I bought Minecraft for $19.99 a decade ago and it's still being updated. Also there are lots of SaaS products that have died in that time. A subscription isn't a guarantee that it'll last.

But then they'd have to rebrand to 2Password! (I have the same fear though. I worry about having everything potentially compromised via a single string.)

To be fair, P/E ratios, financials and stock market regulation didn't prevent this: $PTON (Peloton) is -77% in the past year $ZM (Zoom) -67% $CLOV -82% $HOOD (Robinhood) -70% $ROKU -71% $TWLO (Twilio) -59% $DOCU (Docusign) -52% Bi

I don't understand why people keep voting them back in?? They've been useless for so long, yet people continue to check the box next to their name. Why?

Thanks, that's useful. What I don't get about twitter as a company: Why do they have so many employees? If they scaled back they could have a nice business as it is.

This. I was a lifelong Democrat, but no longer. I am still gobsmacked with how they abandoned free speech, the working class, bodily autonomy, and turned science into religion. They've been captured by the Twitter laptop class.
