SBF was not a "Biden Campaign Donor" - he donated to various Democratic candidates and PAC's. You also neglect to mention that FTX's Co-CEO (Ryan Salame) donated $23MM to GOP candidates/PAC's and was the 10th l

Considering the legal exposure SBF has and the (in my opinion high) likelihood of going to jail for a very long time, I was amazed that the NYT got SBF on the record at all. Every time he opens his mouth he is just giving the DOJ more rope.

The "money mules" may not realize that what they are doing is illegal. If they are people looking for part-time work and have already done weeks of menial tasks before being asked to transfer funds, they probably just think that

It's not your phone company that's making money from your location data so much as the third party apps (Yelp, Weather Channel etc.) that you have installed on your phone for free. In order to use those apps, you often have to co

You need to consider the larger context of this story, especially given Deutsche Bank's notorious reputation for allowing money laundering to happen under it's watch. Also, take a look at the story published last week about Ameri

I'm sorry, but how else would you write about this story? Is the NY Times just supposed to not cover it? The story is literally the post by Jeff Bezos, which they link to first in their article.

I think people are conditioned to associate "leaks" with "scandals" (especially when it comes to the three letter agencies), when in actuality this "leak" is just a revelation of completely reasonable and expec

Don't I already subsidize them by paying taxes? Large tech companies get subsidized by tax incentives which get offset by the taxes I pay. My taxes also go towards food and housing subsidies for those living below poverty levels.

Doesn't a diamond ring lose value once it is sold, though, in terms of re-sell value? A ring worth one bitcoin is not going to lose value once it is sold (aside from market volatility).

>I have also found that the losing party tends to suffer from the wildest delusions. I would disagree with you on this statement. The far right is consumed by conspiracy theories (Seth Rich, Pizzagate etc) despite controlling all three

What is the point of giving advice to someone who will not take it? At some point, anyone in Trump's orbit becomes complicit rather than just being in an advisory role. If Trump is not going to listen to people like Musk on the large

I don't think he is stupid, but he certainly cultivated an "average guy" persona that had a disdain for expert/elite opinion. It also doesn't excuse the (bad) decisions he made in office on a variety of issues.

The ads are all anonymous and based on an aggregate on who is around the unit. It will never be a "Minority Report" type experience, more of a "55% of the users around this location are males, therefore a Draft Kings ad will

I think you're being a bit melodramatic. Outdoor advertising is not intrusive or annoying at all when compared to other forms of advertising. It's not like I'm trying to watch a video or read a news article on the side of a
