The threshold is actually $12M now! There are some proposals floating around to actually change it to $50M with a 500 LP cap

Oh nice! That's probably reasonable, although I am pro keeping the accredited investor requirement.

What could a fund like this even write checks for? Even the most basic SaaS companies are getting multiple of the entire fund as seed or pre-seed...

The most basic SaaS companies are not raising $10MM at pre-seed, they’re raising $1-3MM at $10-30MM post.

Most Fund I’s are going to be smaller funds, often $9.99MM to allow for a larger number of smaller LPs due to the $10MM threshold from the SEC. Whereas Fund II-IV are going to be considerably bigger, often hundreds of millions of dollars. So a large number of smaller funds falling off won’t make that big of a dent in the total dollars available, but may make it harder to get the smaller initial checks.

Are there any good LLM plugins for Obsidian, beyond just throwing Claude Code / Codex at your markdown folder?

It's because GenZ is addicted to nicotine and millennials are all using legal weed. We've just replaced one substance with some others, rather than started abstaining.

He had a pretty reliable exploit on the most used browser, pretty sure it he could have gotten more tax free on the black market.

Now, with EDR widely deployed it's likely that the exploit usage ends up being caught sooner than later, but pretty sure some dictatorship intelligence agency would have found all those journalists deep compromise worthwhile...

You still have to pay taxes on income from non-bug bounty vulnerability markets, be it to law enforcement, brokers, or criminals.

I don't think many cryptography engineers take Gutmann's paper seriously.

Companies don't need any additional reasons to skimp out on security.

The money could probably be more wisely spent if not following FIPS but without FIPS the average company wouldn't direct that money towards security at all.

There's a difference between FIPS validation and FIPS-approved algorithms. We can say "you have to use the FIPS-approved algorithms", but skip the useless validation step.

If DOGE had done nothing other than get rid of FIPS validation, the GDP unlock alone would have solved the debt problem.
