In general I support this but the idea starts to fall apart real quick if your primary place of work is in front of a computer.

As far as I can tell, it seems that Gmail has recently made some bad changes to its spam filters, as I've had a lot of legit emails end up in the spam folder. Specifically, a lot o…

Paypal does this as well. They'll convert to your card's currency automatically and the option to revert is hidden behind an inconspicuous "See other currency options" prompt

This never would have happened if all these orgs used a blockchain. /sarcasm /but is it really?

Farcaster has been a nice refreshment for me. Currently a lot of developer types are present on the platform and I've seen lots of insightful conversations there.

Tokens are frozen "in-place" pending investigation. It differs from how it works with btc, because the government does not have control of the private keys that manage the addresse…

Neither of those statements is true. Bitcoin seized by US government is often sold off in auctions[1]. Tether seized by the government could also be redeemed for fiat eventually, f…

I spent a good chunk of my youth in the kafana, AMA :) Joking aside, my feelings about it are mixed. I have fond memories of good laughs and parties with friends, but also can't he…

Not really. SEC investigations are civil, not criminal. They might end up paying a fine, but there is no risk of jail time or anything similar. Also, while I like Kraken as an exch…

The rumour about Binance indictment by DoJ has been going around for 1-2 years now. Its one of the last remaining pieces of major news that could have potentially negatively affect…

While I can see how it helps clear the bad image of the industry, the two are not directly related. The ETF was/is going to get approved regardless.

Happy to see this whole thing finally coming to an end, its a nice wrap to the dead market we've had for the past 2 years. I'm excited for 2024 in crypto!

from what I know, they still have their stake, but they will eventually sell it

Worth a lot. It probably would have been enough to plug the hole from stealing customer funds, if he managed to stay afloat for a few more months. Ah, the irony.

Linkedin is one of those 'necessary evil' services that we all agree to use because everyone else does, but nobody actually likes. While I realise the network effect is hard to bre…

I am really impressed by what the tailscale folks have been building. I use their product suite regularly and have nothing but good things to say about it. I will be tinkering with…

Wow. I had the same issue in my previous apartment (where I was using the Marcus chair), but I could never figure it out. I just always assumed its a faulty monitor.

We seem to have a arrived at a stage of collective thought in which every action which is not directly confrontational against those that have a different belief system, is seen an…

Regulated activity here refers to futures and options trading, which was indeed unavailable on Binance for UK residents for a while now. Spot trading is a different story.

I used to wonder this a lot as well. It struck me as odd that a crowd of people with whom I'd often share a lot of the same values and beliefs, would be pretty much point blank aga…

disappointed to see them still selling these with 8gb RAM. More than a dozen chrome tabs and a few discord servers has been enough to crash/significantly slow down my m1 mac mini e…
