The ability to donate a painting to a museum and get a giant tax deduction is a big part of their value as an asset. I’m waiting for someone to have the chutzpah to try this with an NFT

I think Wolfram’s impact has been in a mind multiplier for Mathematica customers. It’s a legacy to be proud of. The software makes my brain more capable.

Interesting to see that the vendor in question is Sama (formerly Samasource), which started out as a nonprofit but was then turned into a for-profit company (the founder has since passed away). Wonder if this was the catalyst for its corrup

That’s why there are multiple people on a company board, but it’s also telling how narrative-driven rather than economics-driven the startup world is. It doesn’t matter if a company is hemorrhaging money as long as it fits in a good storyli

The biggest threat to men, and by consequence social stability and peace, is the rapidly increasing fraction of them who do not have sex. This is going to be a major risk to world peace.
