Has anyone already published a good summary / analysis on the leaked EU documents around Digital Euro and PSD3 / Open Finance ?

Apple’s unique take on VR is similar to how our brain works: the Vision Pro is not a transparent glass with overlaid icons, it’s an opaque display showing a composite of what the cameras captured and what the OS added. Like our brain generates an image based on data from the eyes

Machine translation is approximately approaching the proximity of pros, though probably with more aplomb that apropos

The advantage of reality over fiction is that it doesn’t have to bother being realistic. A 170km-long city crossing the desert ? Of course thenextweb.com/news/saudi-ara…

My mailbox is full of messages from the mail server telling me my mailbox is almost full. I’m one screenshot from launching an NFT collection of obnoxious UX poetry

@BedlamSA You're right, the bank card should have been crypto.com branded (with Matt Damon as cardholder name for bonus points)

@Jvdheyden Did they mention how they will incorporate the blockchain in whatever it is they are doing?

Saw this image on a consultant slide yesterday. I guess the Square dongle didn’t look futuristic enough so they added a QR code ?

@HamishHouston They forgot the contactless logo on the card though

Fact : Elon can’t spell (see his kids’ names) Fact : He keeps trying to buy Twitter to introduce an edit feature Isn’t that enough proof that it was all a misunderstanding when he said « get a doge » and « doges make you apy » ? #🐶 #spellingmistakescostlifesavings

@stephsmithio 1️⃣ Many 2️⃣ 50%, but there’s no way to know which ones in advance

1️⃣ How many meetings do you have per week? 2️⃣ How many do you feel are necessary to do your job well?

@NathanVDH0x Could one of them please work on a Twitter replacement. We’ll be needing it soon

The #StarkNet hackathon never ceases to surprise

Looks like another PSD2 : good intentions that will result in very limited benefits and a bunch of nasty unintended consequences

@lauraspiekerman @dgwbirch (the Terry Pratchett of Fintech) is both a compelling and entertaining speaker

Who are the best speakers you've heard? (Does not have to be fintech related)

In 1994, Jeff Bezos famously spotted a stat that made him leave his high-paying PE job to start Amazon: 💡 The Internet was growing 2300% per year. What are the generation-defining stats of today? I'll post a few to kick things off...

As Einstein would say, if the “growth” paradigm created the problem, we need a “post-growth” one to solve it

Me on Substack: The National Wealth Service buff.ly/3y2yGFV I think it is reasonable to begin thinking about financial health, rather than financial services, as the central principle of regulation.

@dgwbirch I wonder what they will build with it. Especially in the context of the EPI discussion

If Turing’s name is to be attached to a currency, maybe a crypto would have been more appropriate
