We keep seeing the number 8$ billions of losses, but I wonder: does that number already include the enormous depreciation of Crypto which is taking place after SBF's demise?

What if users' possession on FTX are actually valued much less now?

I keep telling people you don't drop hundreds of millions on something without glancing at a few numbers first. They had to know something wasn't quite right but infused him with their cash anyways.

Apparently when another VC firm (Social Capital) suggested to create a board before going through with their investment, they received a plain&clear "f*k you".

Corporate governance, accounting, and all the other boring stuff should literally be the first things which you should look at when assessing whether to fuel or not an exchange.

I suspect he is working but probably has a very short attention span.

There is no way a person in his position has any time for focus. CEOs of big companies (especially in case they manage multiple companies!) usually act as firefighters and mainly mentors to top-management. They need to be able to quickly jump between calls, board meetings, press, Q&A, in matter of minutes.

Something very similar is also written in Cal Newport's Deep Work book, where Jack Dorsey's typical day is outlined just as a series of interruptions.

I guess that tweeting between these interactions is not that time-consuming for him, + he actually sleeps at the workplace and is 100% focused on work.

I get that this article is on 9to5mac, but can they lay off the Apple references for just a breath?

> Apple chipmaker TSMC

> [three paragraphs of background on Buffet's opinion of Apple]

> first time Berkshire has bought stock in Apple’s chipmaker

> stake in Apple chipmaker TSMC

> Samsung has recently been upping its efforts to catch up in order to win back Apple business, and TSMC’s Apple revenue could potentially be cut in half if that happened.

> Both TSMC and Samsung are also working on US production of advanced chips suitable for Apple devices, something which the Cupertino company is likely to welcome.

Apple is TSMC's largest single customer, but they're only ~25% of their revenue. Is this an article about Berkshire Hathaway, TSMC, or Apple?

Consider that Apple is also 25% of total assets of Berkshire (around 250$B), so it's not much of a surprise that Berkshire is going into the main manufacturer of the biggest stock they have - hence the strong linking between the wto.

Not a scientist so more of a question than a statement, but how can this be relevant given that: - We are talking about a pathway found in mouses, we are not even sure it exists in human - These bacterias are only markers, therefore doesn't it mean that causation!=correlation and this does not prove anything?

Hmm... I feel like secrets are the one thing I don't want to be in Postgres... because I want to store my Postgres credentials in the secrets vault! And I certainly don't want to have to update the configuration for every service which accesses my secrets vault every time I upgrade my Postgres database (and the access URL changes).

IMO nobody's doing secret management for small companies / products particularly well, so there's definitely a niche to be filled here. But I'm not quite convinced this is it...

Ideally, you could have a Postgres instance specifically dedicated for secrets - I don't see why you should couple sensitive and non-sensitive data. Many OSS services like HashiCorp Vault just do that: you give Vault a backend (which can be a Postgre DB, just like the one Supabase is offering) and it's gonna use that to save the secrets.

You could then use (e.g.) OpenID to connect to the specific instance of Supabase with those secrets from your application

Did anyone try Renovatebot[1]? It should be OpenSource and endorsed from OpenSSF and Google. Main advantages I see is batched updates, which reduce a bit the dependency update spam.

Public company pivoting so many times on low-impact high-competition niches?

They surely must have saw that there is a hole to be filled, but I find it a bit hard to see them surpassing Gumroad.

I do wonder how this plays with the acquisition. IIRC, one of the merge agreement was for Twitter to avoid drastic changes that could impact the value of the company - this seems pretty big to me.
