It just doesn’t make any sense in the context that the stock market is supposed to be efficient. This kind of “going public” setup seems ridiculous. It’s like there’s a room behind the curtain with some kind of money laundering or backhande

>“How did it happen? Why had I or no one ever heard of it, given I know a lot of folks in the government tech space?” I had a good LOL at that too. I remember people in uni were even talking about this in a business course like 10 years

Jeez… that’s about as much of a “fuck off it’s not our problem” response the CEO could have given… I bet it would be different if their data was open to the public.

IMO you have be lucky in both cases to really strike it rich. Choosing a startup with this kind of potential is insanely hard to do, and if you get lucky then the explosive growth of immediately becoming wealthy is what redeems it. But the

I’d imagine being prepared will be harder and harder to do each year as climate change means longer/worse hurricane seasons. The reality is there will always be rain/winds/damage from hurricanes, but how is a place supposed t

So does this mean they will sell the data of everyone who pays in crypto to the government, so the IRS can check if people paid their crypto taxes?

Are there any resources you looked at for this stuff? This is like some kind of hidden gem I just found out about. Is this ~1.2% total rate only for processing debit cards or credit cards as well?

There’s just so many more cons than pros to have globally visible payments. It’s not it’s necessary to go to a store and then yell at the top of your lungs “I’m paying $100 to Jasmine to split this coffee table”.

These “kids” are straight up psychopaths. All this over some dumb internet name. It’s just 100% calculated maliciousness. These criminals were already set on making someone’s life hell if they didn’t get what they wanted. The police were ju

Jio is doing the same gameplan in India, and that’s already proven successful as far as I can tell. I think it’s sustainable considering the vast majority of the world can’t afford an iPhone or even a Samsung, so there’s a large market. Als

What's weird is the way the government decides to deliver these messages. Why do government responses have to be framed as "arm over your shoulder" do-gooder decisions rather than evidence-based decisions when there's al

I’m not a fan of muckraking and clickbait in modern journalism, but Facebook’s opaque policies and secrets around news seem more ridiculous the more they get brought up. Naively (not in practice but in theory), I would think the spirit of n

FYI for 2. the “compliant with US labor and tax laws” part isn’t going to happen how you think. If overseas developers use unlicensed stuff or break a US NDA, the blame will still fall on you. Foreign citizens aren’t bound by US laws, so yo

Bitcoin has become more successful as an investment or store-of-value than as an "anonymous" payment option. Even within the cryptos, there are already better options than Bitcoin if someone is worried about transaction monitoring

It sounds dumb, but I think a lot of the 'vague nuance' around considering people's availability schedules could be addressed simply by stating some reasonable guidelines and pinning it to a slack channel. As a technical pers

There's various brokerages that don't give registered users margin accounts by default and it's something that users specifically have to ask for (similar to asking for options trading).

This is like the most vague paragraph Salesforce could have written. “We took action, but we won’t tell you why, or what, or how.” What’s the point of this press release then? I never knew the RNC used Salesforce prior to now anyways.
