Many of you may have heard the news of the recent $1.4B hack to Bybit. This seemed as good an excuse as any other to focus my @BaselightDB Insight of the day on hacks and data breaches 🧵

For my @baselightdb insight of the day I present you the "Tortilla Index", my own personal proxy for inflation. This innovative index tracks the price of Mexican tortillas alongside other key commodities over time, offering a unique glimpse into inflation trends. Anyone that has gone to buy groceries lately have experienced this trend, but I wanted to support it with some data. https://baselight.app/u/adlrocha/query/tortilla-index

I decided to focus my @baselightdb insight of the day on the evolution of data roles. Here’s what I found: mid/large companies are hiking salaries—but cutting back on remote roles. What should we expect if the demand keeps surging? I have homework for my next @baselightdb insight. https://baselight.app/u/adlrocha/query/data-jobs-insight

Let’s talk music history! For today’s @baselightdb insight, which genre has ruled the decades? The 70s, 80s, and 90s? Rock was the undisputed king. 👑 But fast forward to the 2000s—Latin and electronic music have taken the crown! 🎶💃 https://baselight.app/u/adlrocha/query/song-per-genre-over-the-years

@baselightdb insight of the day! There's always discussions about what is the fastest, loudest, or most popular music genre. Time to settle that discussion leveraging one of @baselightdb datasets! TL;DR: Pop is the most popular :) https://baselight.app/u/adlrocha/query/song-metrics-per-genre

My @baselightdb insight of the day! I was curious to know how the price of the nvidia stock evolved compared to the average price of new and used GPUs the last few years. It looks like the stock price over-performed the underlying product :)

I was driving yesterday and saw a PHEV from 2015 and I was like "damn, I didn't know we had PHEV already in 2015"? So I decided to go to @baselightdb and check the number of global sales of EV throughout the years. Here's the result:

Did you know that the @BaselightDB node is written in Kotlin? On this same day last year I knew nothing about Kotlin, and my go-to languages were Go and Rust. I was curious about how popular was Kotlin compared to these two languages so I said, why not? Let's use @baselightdb...

Economics is closer to quantum physics than an exact science. You get some probability of something happening, but you don’t get the result until you observe it!

Yo! Any CFAs out there? Is it worth the effort (and the money) or would one be better off just going the Berkshire Hathaway way?

On monetary inflation: the effect is the same as when investors holding stocks are diluted after a new round of investment. When you hold FIAT you are implicitly an investor on that currency, and you may be diluted by central bankers, commercial banks, and/or states.
