Racial discrimination at Harvard:
Blacks are granted such a large advantage by Harvard over their White peers that a Black applicant in the 5th decile still has a higher chance of admission than a White applicant in the 10th decile.
If we use Asians in the 10th academic decile as a reference point, we notice that the most qualified Asian individuals have a worse chance of getting into Harvard than Black individuals in the 4th decile from the bottom half of the applicant pool.

Ever since I went from $1m to zero and rebuilt everything, the idea of living lavishly still feels uncomfortable. Gives me PTSD. I’ve got over $1m off-ramped, yet I still drive a $10k Honda, live in a $1,300 p/m apartment, cook my meals, give to my church and charities, and generally live way below my means. It’s not me trying to act like a saint — far from it. I’m still fighting my own vices (especially my weakness for OF models). Once I finally break that one, I know I’ll be completely unstoppable.

These stats are crazy:
In NYC, 327 people account for 1/3 of all shoplifting arrests. Those 327 people have been arrested 6,000 TIMES.
In Oakland, 400 people were responsible for the majority of homicides.
Obviously we should take those 727 people and throw them in jail for the rest of their lives. That’s a simple way to begin addressing crime. It’s insane that it hasn’t happened yet.

Violent crime is overwhelmingly the work of a small group of repeat offenders. The remedy, as James Q. Wilson argued half a century ago in his classic book Thinking About Crime, is not social engineering but incapacitation: keeping the violent few from striking again.

Eye-opening chart. Less than 25.000 people are responsible for 53% of all violent crimes in Sweden, similar distribution in other countries.
Lock them up, or deport them and the crime problem is solved. Why isn’t it happening?

@MichaelAArouet Yes, and the countries with positive growth have just been replacing net positive contributors with net negative ones, while millionaires are leaving in hoards

There will be a lot of vacant and worthless real estate in Poland, Italy and Spain, in 10 - 20 years, not in 2100.
And don’t assume that you will be able to live from your pension, there are not enough people to pay for it.
Most people don’t understand what’s coming yet.

I think worst case scenario this DAT serves as a plunge protection tool/stabilizer against the army of front running speculation traders we’ve seen turn charts into Christmas trees in recent memory. Bull case, it probably does much more than that.
Interestingly, this novel pre-TGE approved DAT concept has been so polarizing and intriguing that I think not enough attention bas been given to the business we are actually looking at here.
In simple terms, it’s a very simple product that is very difficult to achieve/replicate because of how difficult and burdensome the regulatory authorization process is. That product is:
Non KYC, non custodial mobile tap to pay with your crypto— at any conventional payment terminal (partnered with Visa and Mastercard). Revenues presumably come from payment processing fees and forex back end.
The emphasis on the tether backing is significant specifically because of the market Oobit is aimed at. Global licenses are in hand, cleared to operate in the US beginning Dec 18 (Source: Oobit mobile app), and making crypto/stablecoin payments accessible for everyday life.
There is still a lot more information needed for us to verify to fully paint a picture as to the magnitude of all this, but it is reasonable to speculate this is only the beginning stages of a global campaign being rolled out.
At the very least, this is highly intriguing and worth monitoring. And not just because of the DAT

Got a lot of questions regarding the $OOB DAT when it was announced, so thought I would try and summarise my thoughts here, alongside the SEC filing. Most of the questions are asking if the DAT is even real? Referencing the SEC filing (what I will link below) here and will try and explain in a normal language. Section 2.4 – “Conditions Subsequent” Explained: This section describes things that must happen after the deal closes in order for everything to remain valid and compliant. There are two main conditions: 1. Alumni Capital LP must purchase shares by December 31, 2025 Alumni Capital LP (“Alumni”) is required to complete a purchase of $50,000,000 worth of Ordinary Shares by December 31, 2025. This purchase is based on existing agreements they already have with the Company. The money they invest (or money from any alternative investment) must be used only for buying cryptocurrencies as specified in another part of the agreement (Section 4.16). Plain English: By the end of 2025, Alumni has to finish buying $50M of shares, and the Company must use the money from that investment only to buy cryptocurrency. TLDR: As crazy as a $50M TWAP into a chart with 15% float sounds, everything they have said lines up to be true. The gamble is that they pull this off to the degree they say this chart goes up. Alongside a great PMF with tether being a lead investor.

somehow people are still bidding $AVICI @ $51m instead of $OOB here...
AVICI total txn: ~50k; users: 6k+; signups: 17k+
@oobit : 50k+ users in Brazil alone...backed by Tether...with a DAT buying $50m tokens on the market
make it make sense... 🤷♂️
Dapp@DappThatAss
still seeing a lot of people ask about $OOB market cap / circulating supply. @coingecko spells it out for you 7.68% circulating ~$35m market cap AKA free.99
