Also worth thinking about inflation with this one. The $10,000 figure originated with the 1970 Bank Secrecy Act[1]. Back then, that was a lot of money. If it had kept up with plain old vanilla government-reported inflation, the number woul

It does, but almost all the major platforms/companies are members of NetChoice, a trade organization that fights this sort of thing. This presser from Bluesky doesn't mention it, but the case is "NetChoice vs Mississippi&quo

Yes, it's very much anathema to put ketchup on a hot dog, at least among Chicago hot dog enthusiasts. For those unfamiliar, Chicago is also one of those American cities with its own style hotdog, so it's something of the local cul

What do you make of something like Reddit (RDDT, down -15% at this moment)? It's unaffected by tariffs, but its insane valuation is driven by the narrative that Reddit posts can be used to train AI. Without that narrative, you have a

That's certainly one take, but I suspect historians will actually link the beginning of this trend to the European/Western reactions to Russia in February of 2022. It could be framed as "cancel culture overruled the courts&qu

It bothers me that they didn't consider that this should be bilateral: a bot must confirm that it is a bot, and a human must confirm it is a human. I wouldn't want humans pretending to be bots, for a variety of reasons.
