@paulg I think a better way to put this is to find these have been stylish or cool for decades. Not “don’t be fashionable”.

It's extremely valuable not to be influenced by fashion. In just about everything people do, from choosing problems to work on to buying art, there are unfashionable options that are not only better than the fashionable ones, but cheaper too, because they're unfashionable.

People still acting like Miami is hype. Meanwhile, Sergei Brin of @Google just casually showed up at a hackathon with @thelabmiami x @MDCollege x @DeepStationAI. Standing room only. Thx @GianniDalerta for sharing. The future is not being discussed in Miami. It’s being built here.

Tidy 10. At our office, once a day at 3 pm. Employees need to spend 10 minutes cleaning their workspace. If their space is clean, pick something else. We get so much done. I LOVE IT. Stole it from Rakuten company manual. Some staff told me they now do it at home. WIN.

ok so you see the flaws in this answer? "its better than taking out loans for college" --> uh, ok. how's that relevant to the question? "you're old enough to decide." --> again, not relevant. I agree people can decide on their own. I agree some things are worse than 19 year olds getting addicted to sports gambling. do you think having loads of college kids, like 60-70%, doing sports betting each week is good or bad? i think its bad.

@thesamparr @MehtabKarta it’s neutral. Neither good or bad it just is. if you’re old enough to vote, take on debt and be an adult then you’re old enough to decide on how to invest or speculate how you want. better than taking out $100k on student loans for a degree that won’t get you a job.

Are these guys delusional enough to think they are doing something good? This is no different than running a casino. This is just taking advantage of addicts and disgusting.

@thesamparr 1. Average age on Kalshi is 33 years old. 2. An open, fair, and transparent marketplace that rewards informed trading and doesn’t derive all profits from customer losses is better than a platform that actively bans winners and promotes unhealthy behaviors.

@thesamparr We have a front desk persom who’s job it is to keep the office tidy. Cleaners come 2-3x per week as well. Then I publicly shame anyone with a messy desk or trash sitting out. You gotta stay on top of it!

if you're wondering why prediction markets are under attack: entrenched gaming interests are funding a huge smear campaign to protect their monopoly they call it "consumer protection" yet their business depends on you losing and the house winning marketsovermonopolies.com
Gambling is Not Investing@EndBackdoorBets

Mick's Picks @MickMulvaney is riding with Michigan to cut down the nets! When wagering on your national champion, remember that prediction markets skirt the consumer protections and state tax structures that legal sportsbooks comply with.

@thesamparr @larryfink_jr Then let people do things that you find morally bad and others will let you do yours, assuming it does not have externalities that impact anyone else. This authoritarian view to ban everything you don’t personally enjoy is incredibly lame and fundamentally un American
Bayes Baller@Bayes_Baller

I hate cigarettes. I think they are disgusting, they make you and those around you smell bad, and undoubtably lead to increased rates of death in America. I also believe that cigarettes should be legal, because I am a freedom loving American who believes adults should be able to spend their money on what they choose. Simply wanting things you don't like to be illegal is a childlike view of the world. "Everything bad should be illegal and everything good should be promoted." Fortunately for these people, there are many countries in the world that do not believe in a free society and embrace heavy government oversight in pursuit of a singular vision of the public good. I am lucky that I don't live in one.

Don’t piss on my back and tell me it’s rain. Just own it. “This is a shitty thing but fuck ‘em, I just wanna get paid.”
John Wang@j0hnwang

That's a false dichotomy Putting money on sports isn't going away The only question is whether it happens on a neutral exchange or through a predatory house that profits directly from your losses Defending the status quo means defending casino monopolies. Supporting prediction markets means supporting better consumer protection.

@oaktoebark @j0hnwang @mansourtarek_ actually it isn't your american right to to have a free market. america isn't a free market. ex: anti trust laws, gov regulation, age limits for certain products. america regulate markets. based on who they harm and how (among other things).

who are you to define what’s positive sum to Americans at large? it’s my American right to have free markets. you don’t get to decide that just because you don’t like the market structure or because it doesn’t fit well into your reality. you’re literally typing your response on a platform that is built for you to be addicted to it. you can’t cherry pick moral superiority.

@thesamparr @j0hnwang @mansourtarek_ should we also stop folks from investing in the stock market? not sure you understand the different mechanics at play here between an OSB and a prediction market.

@mhp_guy Look, I think it’s valid to say “cigarettes are bad but sometimes you need to get F-up.” But wrapping up a turd in this “we aren’t here to f you up” nonsense is dishonest.

@j0hnwang @mansourtarek_ Don’t piss on my back and tell it’s rain. Just own it. “This is a shitty thing but fuck ‘em, I just wanna get paid.” At least there’s SOME integrity there vs this fart sniffing argument you’re making. It works for the cig companies

We're hiring a VP of Tech at Hampton. Looking for an AI transformation leader who's also held together a complex, real-world membership business at the seams. Both matter. Keep reading. Hampton runs on a gnarly, battle-tested stack: Stripe subscription logic, Airtable as the db, HubSpot handling the full member lifecycle, all wired together by dozens of automations that trigger each other. It works. But it's dense. You need to own it, understand every dependency, and make it better without breaking what's live. AND - separately - you need to lead our AI transformation. If you've never built real things with Claude Code or Cursor, stop here. 2-3 direct reports. Reports to me directly. Remote US or Latin/South America. → joinhampton.com/careers
