Periodic reminder that Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC was founded in 1960. (EDIT: Also, periodic reminder that at the time Harry Markopolos began making public allegations against Madoff in 2000, Madoff Investment Securities LLC was, on paper, the largest hedge fund in the world.)

What is the threshold where, in accusing someone else of being a nazi, the accuser shows such an encyclopedic knowledge of wildly obscure fascist figures/iconography that they become suspicious themselves? It becomes kind of a "wait, why did you already have that on your hard drive" situation.

fresh wave of celebrities shilling nfts today, we finally got gwyneth paltrow on the grift alongside shaq, tony hawk for the third time and a bunch of athletes like usain bolt and naomi ozaka

that site also has a hilarious article about how a DAO is "decentralising golf" by functionally using nfts as country club membership cards except for the part where they don't actually have a course built yet or even have a site to build one but STEPH CURRY GUYS! the price spiked when he said he bought in and someone saying they're him is in discord all the time so it's clearly legit!

While LinksDAO’s non-fungible tokens do live as digital collectibles, the added value of ownership extends beyond simply having a piece of online art others do not. These benefits include promotions and discounts tied to partners like Devereux, Ship Sticks, and more.

Now to be clear I think this is a load of bullshit but it's fun bullshit to argue and not necessarily less bullshit than a lot of reasonableness standards already in contract law.

if you're a telco nerd like me and you're in the PNW the Connections Museum in Seattle has a couple working AT&T/WE switches that they do tours of. IIRC they have a panel switch, a 1XB, a 5XB, a 3ESS, and a 5ESS all in working condition, and they're restoring a 1ESS.

In an interview with CNN’s “State of the Union,” Eric Adams said that bitcoin is the “new way of paying for goods and services throughout the entire globe” and that schools “must” teach the technology behind it, as well as “this new way of thinking.”

...

Last week, Adams said that once he took office in January, he would take his first three paychecks in bitcoin. The mayor-elect is also considering launching a New York-specific cryptocurrency to rival the success of MiamiCoin – a plan which has reportedly already been put into motion.
