One of my favorite stories is an acquaintance's aunt had Willie Nelson perform at her birthday party. The condition was that he was to be paid $200k in cash. He arrived, performed at the party, took the bag of cash, and left without ex

The reactions to this are confounding. This is not a ride, this is a tragedy. So what that some people were wrong on the internet? There are children still without a father today.

Do you think it’s okay to allow children to gamble?

Creating credits out of thin air is impossible as all financial transactions must be accounted for. In the case of Azure credits, they will appear as increased revenue on Microsoft's balance sheet. However, if Microsoft decides to pric

There is no issue here. This is simply a story of the transfer of ownership between a company's founder to employees. The framing is incredibly weird, I hate it. The article could simply be rewritten as (not GPT3): - Ray started to sel

This is phenomena is called monopsony and Apple has been doing this since forever (HDs, "retina" displays, glass, semis, etc). In Apple's case, they have essentially subsidize innovation and manufacturing capacity at the expe

I'm so glad I found Polars. I replaced the most time-consuming parts of my Pandas code with Polars and it has reduced data manipulation times by literally 90-95%. Amazing is not an overstatement.

I agree with you. While I love RSS and use it frequently, there are two things that I find that could be improved: 1. RSS doesn't help me find new interesting blogs and writers. One of TikTok's few virtues as a platform is giving

I can’t help but shake my head at most of these comments. There was a time when we celebrated anecdotes like this here on Hacker News. I’ve seen this story circulated many times but this is the first time I’ve seen this sort of reaction. Th

It was a mutualistic, not parasitic, relationship. Twitter's product development stagnated the day they nerfed the third party dev api. 3rd party Twitter clients were once considered a design playground where the best elements not only

Makes sense. There’s no need to use this to read into the solvency of Binance. From Mazars’ perspective, the small amount of fees they receive is not worth the destruction of the rest of their business. Arthur Andersen used to be one of the

This is why Caroline is an important witness for the prosecution. It seems like most of the nefarious stuff occurred in Signal.

A great deal of internal communication apparently occurred within ephemeral Signal Chats. While JJRIII is witness to failure, Ellison was witness to intent.

Caroline and Sam Trabucco were co-CEOs. He too will face the full scrutiny of the DOJ.

It's clear Caroline Ellison has turned against him. Stephanie Avakian, former SEC enforcement chief, is representing her in NY. I'm guessing they wouldn't have been able to file charges this quickly without Caroline becoming

This is incorrect/misleading on many fronts: 1. This is an outdated article citing a single point in time 2. The source tweet is comparing Uniswap's volume on all x:ETH pairs against only ETHUSDT volume on centralized exchanges.

I have no respect for Duffy’s story. He criticizes VCs for being naive, cheerleading SBF and staying silent. Now what does it mean that the CME CEO was not naive, (purportedly) roasted SBF in private, and then stayed silent? This is not bra

> they're a serious journalistic publication and have verification standards for sources It goes both ways. It seems like they didn't do much verification of Sam's claims.
