Globalization promotes inter-dependence. That's all. In a way, it's like chaining yourself to your trading partner. Now, you have to be very careful who you chain yourself to. Is it a stable democracy that shares your values, or i

Just sharing my opinion. As I said above, I am pro-free speech, that inludes free speech for myself. I do not know why you have a problem with this.

I am pro-free speech and hope that Congress will investigate this. Having said this, I must say that by associating himself with people like Taibbi, Musk has lost any credibility for me.

You are probably right. It does look like a SEO spam site!

Running a publication like future.com costs peanuts. If they are pinching pennies like this, a16z must be in big trouble?

The goal of Russia's bombardments is to flood Europe with refugees, provoke civil unrests there and then bring to power Russia's puppets like AfD in Germany and the like. The end goal is to undermine international support for Ukra

Did anyone already say that Telegram is Russia's KGB operation?

The Bourne Identity, Skyfall, Game of Thrones, Pirates of the Caribbean, and so on. It does not have to be original. And I don't mean only the intro but the entire soundtrack. Often, the theme song is reused over and over during the fi

It's a good opportunity to right the wrongs and double down on the good stuff. In case of FTX, there are SBF, misters Wong and Singh. Imagine a second coming of Erlich Bachman as a crypto bro. Who would not wanna watch this? For the f
