This is common in Miami because non-US tourists make up a large proportion of the diners and often don’t tip or tip much less than American norms. Waiters in the US are primarily compensated in tips so it breaks the model without this. You don’t need to leave more - it’s just to make sure you don’t leave less.

can americans explain to me how there's a mandatory 20% tip on the dinner bill but then also another section for a tip again on the bill? you are supposed to tip the tip??

@joeroganhq @grok who is behind RFK Jr in this video?

RFK Jr: "One of my sons, 29 years old, very, very left-wing Democrat, and disagrees with a lot of the policies of this administration, he called me... And he said, 'Dad, I want to tell you how proud I am about this...'"

@MichaelSelig @CFTC @POTUS @SenateAgGOP Congrats Mike. Incredible to see you in this role

I am honored to be confirmed as the 16th Chairman of the @CFTC. I want to again express my gratitude to President Donald J. Trump @POTUS for placing his trust and confidence in me to lead the agency during this historic time. I also want to thank @SenateAgGOP and the U.S. Senate for a smooth and speedy confirmation, @DavidSacks for his leadership in revitalizing American entrepreneurship, innovation, and productivity by modernizing legacy regulations and cutting red tape, @SECPaulSAtkins and @HesterPeirce for their guidance, wisdom, and mentorship during my time at @SECGov, @CarolineDPham for her strong stewardship of the CFTC as Acting Chairman, @giancarloMKTS for setting an example of principled governance that inspired me to follow in his footsteps, and all who supported me throughout the process. Today begins a new chapter for the CFTC. We are at a unique moment as a wide range of novel technologies, products, and platforms are emerging, retail participation in the commodity markets is at an all-time high, and Congress is poised to send digital asset market structure legislation that will cement the U.S. as the Crypto Capital of the World to the President’s desk. I welcome the vital responsibility to oversee the stability and security of America’s commodity derivatives markets during this period of rapid transformation. No agency is better suited to pioneer common-sense rules of the road for the new financial markets of America’s Golden Age than the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Under my leadership, the CFTC will conquer these great frontiers and ensure that the innovations of tomorrow are Made in America. Onwards.

SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance today issued a no-action letter to DoubleZero that addresses DePIN token distributions. sec.gov/rules-regulati…

🚨Big day for crypto regulation 🚨 The SEC granted @doublezero's no action letter request covering the Programmatic Distributions of 2Z tokens, which clarifies that these token distributions do not amount to securities transactions.

Today, we're launching Echo. Turn inference into income.

Today, we're proud to announce that Syndicate Network is one of the FIRST decentralized networks to be built and launched in AMERICA—formed under a Wyoming-based DUNA with no offshore entities. This is a major step forward for the crypto industry and U.S. 🇺🇸 Learn more ↓

@mattyglesias I spend most of the summer in Blue Hill/Brooklin as well and have been for a few years now. There are some great camps for kids - we have found that to be the key to my son being able to make friends and look forward to coming back every year.

@pumatheuma @calilyliu I don't think there is a better operator in crypto than Lily. One of a kind.

I think another dire hire for Ethereum is the equivalent of Solana's @calilyliu. Someone who deeply understands the needs of institutions, speaks the language of capital markets, and is just a fucking killer.

@NTmoney Great hire

Brett Shear has joined 1confirmation as a GP. First got to know him as SuperRare user blockchainbrett in 2019, then personally invested in PTC Crypto in 2021. I’ve long admired his user mindset and the way he supports founders and investors. Onward 🚀

@mattyglesias Electric cars are a lot quieter than normal cars. It decreases stress from the noise pollution. I think it’s especially meaningful for my young son who is in the car a lot.

@Austen The team at @CooleyLLP built a free tool that creates Nevada incorporation documents. It’s here: cooleygo.com/documents/inco…

Can someone build an app or a law firm that makes moving incorporation out of Delaware very simple? I have literally hundreds of clients to send you.

@BillAckman The team at @CooleyLLP made a free tool for incorporating Nevada corporations to accelerate and democratize this: cooleygo.com/documents/inco…

We are reincorporating our management company in Nevada for the same reason. Top law firms are recommending Nevada and Texas over Delaware.

@pitdesi @itsmechase The team at Cooley built a free generator for Nevada incorporations. cooleygo.com/documents/inco…

@itsmechase If it becomes a trend they will add Texas

Delaware probably lost its status as a place where most companies choose to incorporate. Huge hit to the state budget: ~40% of general fund comes from franchise taxes and corporation fees from companies who chose to incorporate there due to the business friendly approach.

@joshfraser @AndreCronjeTech @CooleyLLP Your check is in the email @joshfraser

@AndreCronjeTech Highly recommend @DerekColla at @CooleyLLP

If you’re a Dev in Miami, come through @ThePortMiami for lunch today to eat tacos and chat crypto policy under the new admin

The inauguration of President Donald J. Trump has been widely celebrated as the dawn of the first pro-crypto presidential administration – a dramatic shift from the Biden administration’s antagonistic stance on crypto. But the road ahead might not be as smooth as it seems.
