Well, there is no rule of law or SEC in the US, so they are just moving in the hope they can rebrand as some tech crap and then have retail idiots buy their stock. Fundamentals do not matter - it is just pure "marketing" or fraud when reality hits and stock is down 99% and govt bailouts are needed

there might be feelings better than having your kid snuggle up asleep on you but there is no feeling like it. I am a simple ape and probably you are too
I am 100% in favor of people who don't want kids not having kids, but watching your kids play on the beach on a day where all your responsibilities are asleep is a peak human experience of a type you will struggle to get elsewhere.
"Police eventually found him — “He had a firearm and was ordered not to touch it, and he took off running,” Cary police chief Terry Sult said Monday during a news conference — but the incident didn’t end in gunfire."

Had missed this yesterday but Lula pulling close to half of the votes from Cury, Caiado, and Santos is WILD. Santos kinda tracks given he was equally hostile to PT and Bolsonaro but the other two endorsed Bolsonaro and were pretty far right for that kind of outcome. Really interesting.
How did Lula turn it around? This is what it looks like when a party goes ALL OUT to try to win ppls votes after PT's apathetic performance in first set of elections 4 weeks ago. 1 Turnout (get demotivated ppl to vote) 2 getting ppl to vote differently (from blank in 1st round, to voting for Lula)

If you're in there putting in honest work and you post it, I'm gonna tell you that you're a badass and you should feel great about yourself; if you try to use that lift to claim superiority over other people, you're inviting comparisons to serious people, and that's probably not gonna go well

I will say "hell yeah great job man" to any one of my friends who lifts this because they're my friends and deserve every opportunity for me to say "hell yeah," but you don't get to call yourself an Elite Alpha Warrior for doing something that anybody can do with several months of work

It’s like $50mm per MW per year on a 90-day cancellable contract vs Neoclouds at $15mm per MW on 5yr firm deal. Elon bought up a ton of GPUs, realized he had no use for them, and then resold them to the market when there was functionally zero available capacity with no lead time
Friendly reminder for anyone that ever links to Slok. Doesn't necessarily make him wrong, but at least understand who you're pointing to in order to confirm your priors.
"the article" in this case is marketing copy for Apollo Global, one of the world's largest private equity firms. just to be clear about what you're pointing to gleefully. If I used the same source to argue that the economy was doing great, how would you treat it?
