There is a day and night difference between stealing and fraud. And this is barely fraud btw. The only reason she is being fined because they they didn't file a form with the SEC for approval which would've meant they could only s

The markets are working. 1. Even with the bots, the price made sense for advertisers for so long because of how cheap ads were. 2. Its starting to not make as much sense and now we are getting these accusations thrown at platforms etc. TLDR

Its very unlikely. Not because FB is a kewl company with super kewl morals. If you look at through the lens of game theory, the employees are extremely incentivised socially, ethically and financially to leak it. First they didn't brea

Not fail. The jury is still out. Independent films largely rely own word of mouth to gain momentum. But for word of mouth to work, you need critical mass. This is where ads can be the difference maker. We wanted to reach Roy Scheider fans.

I 100% agree with you. El Salvadors adoption could have definitely been handled in a more transparent and self sovereign manner. I really wasn't big fan of forcing companies to accept it.. But then again, you never get everything you w

Also those are not just the 2 bets btw. El Salvador still supports the dollar. There are those who envision a world full of privacy coins, CBDC's, bitcoin, company coins etc.. In this world, bitcoin will be the ruler of rulers. As in,

Here’s a proposition: - Gold got dethroned from its 5k year rule as the global store of value because of globalisation & speed of commerce. FDR ban & dollar being taken off the gold standard sealed its fate. - Gold is replaced by

I've been working with Alex for just over a year now. He’s never political, super nice guy, focused on creating beautiful art. This is a major blow to the team. If your not backed by Sony or Paramount, ads (especially in the first week

The bet being made by El Salvador is to get the immense benefits of being an early adopter at the cost of short term volatility and risk of bitcoin failing. Regardless of your opinion on this, you have to at least wait till the proposition

Not weird. You just gotta build a shit ton of MOATS around the product. Its not easy but its also not an unreachably hard thing to do. I'd have MOAT as a top 3 priority, basically constantly asking myself how can I make it as close to

Google I/O is still largely followed by devs, especially in the google ecosystem despite Google's massive (successful) efforts at dumbing it down. WWDC on the other hand is watched by a wider range of people that go beyond just ap

This is a very bullish sign (mid-long term). They see the writing on the wall and are doing a swift full throttle u turn. Nobody likes doing this kind of stuff, its really bad for PR, really bad for the stock (short term) and messes with mo

P-HACKING 25% is actually really really good. Its just above the 80/20 pareto principle. Prices law probably makes more sense here but the point is still the same, pretty much all platforms where you are publishing you'll see a si

I went through the exact same experience. Choosing dart felt like silly to me but after a using flutter for years now it makes 100% sense. The way both flutter and dart adapts for each others needs is super cool.

As much transparency as possible, especially if it's an ugly situation. Otherwise, you're likely gonna get the wrong people for the job or even worse you can turn an excellent hire into a resentful demoralised employee who feels c

I think your mistaking technical debt for code quality. I've seen the same thing play out and more often than not, its a helix like cycle of projects starting simple and as time goes on trade offs are made and you get a lot technical d

Na this is just semantics. There is clearly ugly code and clean code.. And generally speaking, ugly code is structured in a non obvious manner that can range from the specific implementation to naming.. Its a spectrum and after a certain po

I don't think your point is controversial, its just missing context. Having a language that can hold its own weight in the AOT, statically typed world while also having the UX thats comparable to javascript is insane. Rust, C/C++

Your missing the point, javascript is easier but in the class of languages go is in, its a day and night difference. rust, c/c++, java etc. Compared to these languages, go is much easer to learn and use. Java can be put the side, the r

You're being silly. Its not like a job at mcdonalds, We are talking about complex creative jobs where you need to invest a lot of time and resources to integrate new hires. The last thing companies want is to waste all that resources i

You're doing shady stuff with some fucked up people and it could be anybody incl the feds so reputation is invaluable. I imagine its like ratings on ebay but much much higher stakes.

We are all tech people here, lets not pretend like there is no difference between self hosting and cloud hosting. Pretty much everything you do on OpenSea requires indexing/processing, there is no way to do this on the blockchain (atm)
