They are indeed ‘cool’ infographics (Twitter thread - in case you are allergic!)
NZ science star Ivan Ravlich shuts down Hypernet Labs following US crypto fraud lawsuit
Love to know the back story.
Curiously, when I search it is all over the Kiwi news sites - but little US coverage. Story too small in the US? Slow news day in NZ?
BoJo Trump Timelines and Parralels?
Just thinking aloud …
—-
June 2016 … Brexit - Driven by BoJo
November 2016 … US Election - Trump wins.
July 2022 BoJo stands down as his party FINALLY rejects him
Does this suggest that
December 2022 will be when the Rethuglicans finally reject Trump?
Interestingly, that date is just after the mid-terms, which everybody is convinced will be yet another Democrat shellacking, but what if it isn’t?
Will It Happen?
And if it does - will Trump get blamed?
Three for three … and still in power.
Not listened to yet, will comment when I do. Interested to see Tim and Marc (both BIG crypto enthusiasts) on this podcast I had never heard of - probably because this is episode 2.

Even a free sports car couldn’t get anyone to bid on Chevrolet’s first NFT
Wait - nobody saw the value of forking out $240K for a $90K car - even though it came with a cute little NFT?

Fish Philosophy is a great panel this week - and reminded me a lot of Abbots’s ‘Flatland’.
Tom Evslin Keeping it balanced …
“If we want to keep our republic, we need to stand against both leaders who want to lead without the consent of the governed and legislative abdication to the executive.”
In principle I agree, BUT, we aren’t living in those times. We are living in these times.
What do you think?
The Swine of Sin City is an interesting read - a different spin on how to make a lot of money out of waste.
That said and not specifically called out … but the process implies that part of what they are feeding the pigs is pigs.
That doesn’t sit well with me.
How about you?
Meta’s VR strategy “isn’t sustainable”
“A recent media release from market research firm IDC predicts that Meta (the parent company of Facebook) may not be able to compete in the mixed-reality business in the long run if its strategy remains unchanged.”
Wait. You actually change your name to ‘Meta’, announce RandD spending of gazillions on ‘meta’ - and then you are told that your involvement in Meta isn’t sustainable?
Well that’s Zucked up, isn’t it?
Apple Maps Location Scan Slows Down Wi-Fi

Extracted from a private group - but I think it is applicable to many scenarios, in many countries.
“I want to make absolutely clear that there’s no place in this government for anybody who is predatory or who abuses their position of power.”

Seriously BoJo? You should try a little self-examination!
‘Go home’: Honduran islanders fight against crypto colonialists.
Meanwhile, the residents of Crawfish Rock remain vigilant. “We have our eyes open,” said Connor. “We don’t trust no one.”

You know, that goes both ways.
Just been recommended Focus: The Future of Your Company Depends on It by Al Ries 📚- so of course have added it to my ‘Want to Read’ list …
