LinkedIn needs a button "I Like this, but it belongs on Facebook". Or am I just grumpy? Definitely not ruling out grumpy...

AI agents in everything are the Clippy of the 2020s. "Would you like me to stuff this up for you, or do you want to do it yourself?"

It's that time of the year when I lose track of my online orders. Then on Xmas morning it's "hang on, where's the...?"

Is there any possibility that the odds for Trump on Polymarket, Kalshi, et al are a reflection of people hedging their emotions? - If the fascist wins, at least I'll be able to afford a decent bottle of scotch to drown my sorrows.

Procrastination quantification: how many times do you have to press (Alt+)Tab to get back to what you were doing?

this is a demo for @ETHGlobal HackFS 2024 - hi Judges! :) we are helping build a decentralized large action model basically we're giving chatgpt hands 👐

What BlackRock is doing with tokenisation is very cool. Where it seems they are going is massive. blockhouse.ltd/post/blackrock…

Why don't people put clear dates at the top of their articles on crypto & blockchain? It's a critical piece of information. Something written in 2018 or 2020 is from a different world. Don't make me try and work it out from the data you reference, or the topic you are discussing!

2 auto replies from emails to banks today: "I am out of my office, with no access to email" Really? In 2024??

We need to agree on a single definition for the word growler. Depending on where you are in the country you could be referring to a pork pie, a beer container or a minge. It's madness and someone's going to get hurt

A clue to what makes countries rich. And this is on a log scale.

South Africa's President Ramaphosa says its energy crisis is an 'existential threat' to SA's economy and social fabric. He's promising to bring the daily power cuts 'to an end'. 7 mins on a story that's about more than electricity. bbc.co.uk/news/world/afr…

@farzamehsani And fatf did in October 2021

More and more jurisdictions will make this clarification over time. The South African central bank sent a similar message to all SA banks at the end of 2022. coindesk.com/policy/2023/04…

The below clip is from a Fall 2018 Graduate MIT course called "Blockchain and Money" Gary Gensler - the current President of the SEC, was the professor. The Hypocrisy speaks for itself 🐀 "So we already know in the US and in many other jurisdictions that 3/4 of the market are not ICOs or NOT what would be called securities, even in the US, Canada, and Taiwan, the three jurisdictions that follow something similar to the Howey Test that we've talked about. 3/4 of the market is non-securities. It's just a commodity, a cash crypto."

It's going to be really hard to spot April fools this year

@AbsaSouthAfrica @woowiefied Actually, the confirmation part works, it just won't go into the app. Which is still frustrating, but not terminal
