His whole narrative he crafted was really unbelievable. I watched a video of him explaining his story, expecting to hear some story of finding consistent signals that stayed alive for a long time or finding crafty wording in bond contracts,

> Mozilla can't be trusted This is really just the core of it. I probably trust Mozilla about as much as I trust Google at this point. Leadership is non-existent. Mission and goal is lost. Pointless acquisitions galore. Wasting mone

I don’t think there is a contract here in most parts of the world. But maybe there’s an argument to be made for promissory estoppel e.g. by a company who moved from IE to Firefox based on these promises and spent $x moving to Firefox and no

Mozilla mentioned their viability in this statement, but one has to wonder how much more viable they’d be had they not wasted tens of millions of dollars on acquisitions such as this, Pocket, and of course their former CEO’s salary. I would

I guess it makes sense. I remember once upon a time that Twitch saved every broadcast, in full, forever. That sounds kind of ridiculous these days, but then again YouTube does still does that for everyone’s streams and makes it work. Are th

Solana is the main chain I use for these transfers, and it’s 0.000005 SOL * $170/SOL = $0.00085 to transfer any amount of USDC. so I was a little off there. My apologies for a $0.0008 error. By the way, I specifically mentioned Coinbas

I'd probably bet on this being and staying the case. Bybit needs to look as strong as possible here and they probably have a bunch of willing lenders. The second they have to pause withdrawals and look weak, it could be game over from

These exchanges make an absurd amount of money. That amount of money is basically a decent quarter for Coinbase in fee revenue, and Bybit is smaller but it isn't that much smaller. It sucks if you're Bybit, but they're goin

On the one hand, I understand banks attempting to protect customers and limit liability, on the other hand, frankly I have better things to do with my time than spend 30 minutes waiting in a phone queue because I had the audacity to go on h

Being granted a loan of $1.4B with favourable terms under the extended fund facility is an enormous privilege. El Salvador is certainly getting far more favourable terms than would for their USD-denominated bonds. Putting it another way,

If you have all of your ducks in a row this is actually much easier than it sounds.

I can't imagine that getting that filled OTC reasonably close to the mark would be serious trouble. Germany managed to sell 50,000 BTC without much trouble a few months ago. Then again, it may be serious trouble if you have serious iss

Prize pool would have to be much more than $400k to justify a state actor flexing that kind of capability, NK makes far more than that exploiting DeFi protocols.

As a trend in general it feels pretty dead, at least in tech and gaming.

Presumably the AI features getting widely derided at WWDC influenced the script. I’m totally fine with generative AI, but I cringed when I saw the images they generated for the demo at WWDC. Just awful stuff.

Anecdotally I found it worthless anyway. I tried a variety of straps, tightness, positions, but I think the freckles on my white skin just confused it. Finger monitors consistently have it at 98%+. Apple Watch: “Your Blood Oxygen content is

I’m on the same model and find it completely fine. The only thing I want is USBC. I keep saying “next year’s model will have some killer feature that’ll make it worth ditching my lightning cable finally”, and Apple keep giving me no reason

Phishing email operators rejoice: Apple still are not showing emails in the Mail app, and will even scan your phishing email and rephrase it while recognising and pushing it as a priority notification. I actually like the idea, but I worry

Windows very much still has gaming by the short and curlies. Valve have done a ton of work with Proton that makes it considerably better, but if you enjoy anything competitive Windows is mandatory for anti-cheat. Can't say I've sh

Unfortunate. Luckily, Windows itself can be removed. It's incredible how much Microsoft is resting on their laurels in terms of seeing Windows as insurmountable and so consumers must take whatever Microsoft decide to dish out. I would

You can also plan it out so it's a neater install if you do the installation now, rather than when it craps out. I know for a fact that if I had to do what this guy is after this quest with no functioning air con, that tablet is dangli

"Stochastic parrot" is a perfectly reasonable description of GPT as a technology. I use this term, and also use LLMs all the time for various tasks. It's far more descriptive than "AI". Ultimately (most) LLMs are si
