🇺🇸🏳️🌈 lawyer. Worked on 3 continents in mega energy deals. Now recovering as a global biz lead in Cybersecurity. My tweets aren't my employer's viewpoint.
Before @CurveFinance decides whether or not they CAN enforce their IP claims over @saddlefinance, the community needs to determine of they SHOULD, according to the author of a new proposal. @Blockanalia reports. https://t.co/15h3B6L0P1
@carrynointerest I think the legal example though is where this breaks down for now with the low success rate. Considering how expensive lawyers are, each bip of increased accuracy vastly outweighs current token costs.
Decided to check out the UK's effort to accelerate development and the economy via the @ftweekend House & Home section. First article about people wanting roaming rights to shut down music festivals, then a call to "see airing our clean laundry in public as the political act it is," a profile of a business growing below-inflation which has put "nature" on their board of directors, and how "temperate corners of Galicia are becoming a bolt-hole for climate-anxious second-home owners." So, I guess things aren't going so well.
First look at LC-36 from the air this morning after the explosion of New Glenn last night during a failed hotfire test.
Visible is the wreckage from the destroyed TE as well as the fallen lightning tower. More to come soon.

Back from a German conference. Stayed at a not-cheap hotel (fittingly called "Bad Hotel"): hand towels instead of body towels, no air-conditioning in 30+ degree weather, a printed request that I skip room cleaning. I checked last night the instant electricity mix: most electricity produced was from coal.
Germany has made the choice to be poor. It could have cheap, safe, abundant energy from nuclear. Instead it has chosen expensive, high carbon energy.
I used to come to Europe and think their retro quirks were cute. Now I'm convinced they're actually evidence of a delusional society.
The air conditioning superstitions are obvious and hilarious next to the culture of rampant smoking. They eat "clean food" but don't protect restaurants from flies (bug zappers and air curtains). They use tiny eco toilets that flush so poorly there's a self serve toilet brush in every public bathroom stall. They preach localism for economic growth then close all the shops on the holidays when most people could go shopping - then wonder why people buy from American online stores.
Then if you ask a European how they view their relative standard of living you get another delusional answer. It's becoming almost like late Soviet poverty tourism.
I know there's a lot of @tbpn clipping out there. Anybody got a version that cuts out the "uh huh" "yeah" and "sure" that @johncoogan interrupts many guests with literally every sentence they say? How has nobody coached him out of this verbal tick yet?
@ShirleySalzman@seemetrics@8vc Forgot to update this but had another today: “Ryan Townsend,” Co-Founder of “Utopia Digital” both of them with no other social media presence than LinkedIn spam. No other messages, nothing on my profile to suggest I know anything about “CDE” (what’s that?)
LinkedIn pitchslaps are for sure the lowest form of cold call. They’re deceptive from the very start and usually dishonest too (“I’d like to discuss ____” is a lie). So, in 2025, I’m naming and shaming.
First up: @ShirleySalzman, CEO at @seemetrics. Shirley added me a few days ago. No other messages. No context. Just a pitchslap. Is Shirley even real? Maybe she’s just a bot. @8vc is an investor, are they telling their portcos to do LinkedIn spam?
Georgetown Law leftists threw another conniption fit, this time because Morty Schapiro was set to be their commencement speaker. Schapiro, an accomplished academic (who supports Israel, along with the vast majority of Jews), holds “controversial, Zionist and harmful opinions,” they seethed. Schapiro has now withdrawn, bowing to the deranged mob of future “elite” lawyers.
@ChiangTungYang@flightradar24 That’s got nothing to do with NTSB’s FOIA obligations. And yes it probably would jeopardize social stability if Chinese fliers knew the cause of this crash was Chinese pilot murder-suicide.
@Sim89776996@flightradar24 NTSB decoded the black boxes so their records are subject to FOIA. That’s why I’m asking why the FDR data came out but the CVR transcript didn’t. That it happened in China is immaterial to NTSB FOIA obligations.
@LeeMoonTree32@flightradar24 If NTSB ever had them and transcribed them then they’d still have a transcription copy and be obligated to disclose them under FOIA.
I’m building an app to help people build really good resumes and cover letters and efficiently submit them for jobs. I started building it to help 2 friends and my partner improve their job hunt and am about to make it available beyond friends next week! It learns which models and prompts work best for each user and several of the options are served via @OpenRouter.
