@inglorious_bat @ww_nab "Tesla survives coz of govt restrictions on Chinese EVs." Funny considering that Tesla makes most of its cars in China (almost double those made in US), plus China accounts for over 25% of Tesla total earnings. Anyway, capitalism it is. Competitors are free to outsmart "him."

@kamoranezi @kahome_steve Equity Bank too was listed by Introduction. The listing (by whatever means) opens the door for everyone; existing shareholders and non shareholders to now trade/transfer shares freely.

They were not initially funded by Israel. Israel tolerated the emergence of Hamas, which is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, because they hoped it would be a moderate local group that it could "do business with," as opposed to the PLO, which was from outside Gaza and sworn to Israel's destruction. This was a grave miscalculation on Israel's part, it didn't understand the underlying Islamist ideology. But no, Israel didn't fund it, you don't know what you are talking about.

@RufasKe @maqasiriqo There are numerous illegal gold mining in Latin America (Amazon), at times you can actually watch them going live on Tiktok explaining how they hide from the police while they mine, just manually like DRC. No ebola outbreaks though.

[Ibex Capital @IbexCap]

@RufasKe Shouldn't we then be seeing ebola outbreaks in other gold producing nations? Or you mean only DRC's produces arsenic? China, Australia, Russia, Canada, SA, Ghana, Tanzania are all huge gold producers. Wonder why none ever sees ebola outbreaks if at all gold mining is the cause.

@SirAlexas @amarieadhis I'm really wondering what you're arguing about. Countries admit travellers for whatever reasons; tourism, conferences, work et al, based on their own domestic immigration rules. Being accredited by FIFA doesn't guarantee entry.

@Vickyjr @dkobaye I think it's about Kenya's Fintwit stops copying words from the West (or basically US markets) and create their own original terms. We should perhaps be calling our version of "penny stocks" something like "centy stocks" or "cenny stocks." 😎

[Ibex Capital @IbexCap]

@Vickyjr @dkobaye Who considers it so? Coz the true meaning of the word PENNY is the smallest unit of a currency, which here is called CENT. Only those below 1 shilling should be a "Penny." Though truly speaking "penny" is derived from the word PENCE; a 100th of a dollar, so around Ksh. 1.3/=.

Your brain basically stopped recording your life around age 25. Everything since then is a blur for a reason.

Neuroscientists measured this so many times they named it: the reminiscence bump. Ask anyone over 60 to recall their strongest memories and almost every answer clusters between ages 15 and 25. The decade where everything was new. First job, first apartment, first real relationship. Your brain encoded each day because nothing had a template yet.

After that window closes, most people enter a repetition loop. Same commute, same office, same weekend rhythm. The brain stops recording repeated experiences as distinct events. A year with 300 novel days leaves 300 memory anchors. A year with 10 leaves 10. Both took 365 days to live. Only one of them will exist when you look back.

This is why people at 50 say "where did the time go." The time went into routine that felt like living but left almost nothing behind.

Your remaining years are fixed. How many your brain bothers to remember is entirely up to you.

The “African Client” used taxpayers money to buy himself an aircraft and appoint ACASS to manage it.

He then has the government lease the aircraft for his use during his sightseeing trips abroad.

While overtaxing his people without mercy.

@Millennial_Mock @IanECox I wish your view would be popular and/or espoused by the majority. Unfortunately a lot of people don't see it that way. I'm sure you see them on this app quite often ranting about colonisation.

[Ibex Capital @IbexCap]

@Millennial_Mock @IanECox Many elections and keep electing crooks.
That's entirely our problem to solve.

If you've been on the interwebs long enough you've noticed how Africans complain about colonisation. The idea that "foreigners might help with governance" might be seen as colonisation by many.

[Ibex Capital @IbexCap]

@Millennial_Mock @IanECox I think the issue of "governmental policies" is purely a domestic affair, squarely in the hands of the people we elect, and we the people to push/advocate.
Otherwise if foreigners are to come and help make the policies, "we" shall be here accusing them of neocolonialism.

@DrHassdenteufel @BRICSinfo Ukraine still launching drones at Russia despite Russia having the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world.

Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah still launch missiles at Israel despite having nukes.

But somehow, you imagine that if Iran gets nukes, it's attackers will naturally stop.

@anthony_kerui They also short sell. Meaning they make money when markets drop. The drop earns them profits and opens new opportunities for buying the DIP.

[Ibex Capital @IbexCap]

@anthony_kerui Local banks hold a mere 42% (and keep in mind there are banks that buy on behalf of their depositors; depositors make specific instructions to the bank on this). Pension Funds, Insurance Companies, SACCOs, and Licensed CISs (MMFs) are the other big holders of the domestic debt.

The internet (all the data, all the electrons flowing right now) weighs about 50 grams.

That's the weight of a strawberry.

Here's how physicist Russell Seitz calculated it:

The internet runs on electron movement.
Electrons have mass: 9.11 × 10⁻³¹ kg each.

Calculate the number of electrons in motion at any moment across all global networks, multiply by electron mass.

Result: ~50 grams.

This is not the weight of the hardware.
It's the weight of the information itself, the electrons actively encoding and transmitting data at this exact second.
