This is what ChatGPT thinks I look like lol. It knows I'm half Japanese, so idk if image generation is still shy about portraying race, but it's definitely spot on about me being an iPad enjoyer. Not sure how some of you get such generic images, either you're strict about privacy or don't use Chat much.

After centuries of losing some of their best and brightest to emigration to the US, Europe has to be stoked at the prospect of payback, getting a brain drain from the US to Europe.

So I've been in Lisbon the past few days, and I found it funny that they have a Golden Gate Bridge and a Christ the Redeemer Statue. To top it off, they also have a hipsterfied industrial area under the overpass of their Golden Gate super reminiscent of DUMBO in NY. Old World copies New World?

I was having a conversation about nuclear energy recently, and I know it’s popular across the political spectrum these days so I thought I’d publicly share why I’m against it. Nuclear still depends on a finite resource compared to something like sunlight which never can be diminished with use. So what, we stop using one finite resource (fossil fuels) just so we can start fighting over who controls access over another? I know it’s more abundant and so efficient yada yada but… induced demand, you know what I’m saying? And don’t get me started on nuclear waste. If you look at the world today, governments can’t keep commitments for a decade ahead and you’re telling me we can keep the waste secure for centuries or millennia? Give me a break. It’s the height of irresponsibility to future generations. See, the thing is, if you want a “solar punk” utopia, the energy systems must be circular, self contained. And nuclear definitely is not.

Since the US is in so much debt and desperately trying to downsize, you’d think it would be the one selling territories and states, not trying to buy new ones.

The comparisons of buy now pay later food deliveries to the subprime mortgage crisis (with plenty of Big Short memes) that’s making the rounds on X is totally off the mark. BNPL companies have found a solution for the 20%+ interest that low credit score consumers pay. They’re pretty good at assessing creditworthiness on a purchase by purchase basis, and even if they do get stuck with bad debt, it’s low stakes, and they can get it off their books pretty quickly. It seems obvious to me that the trend is towards micro payments and granular underwriting. https://x.com/moreperfectus/status/1902740914583261336?s=46

I didn’t expect solana to go so far as to make anti-trans a part of their marketing. 🤮 https://x.com/solana/status/1901675230868758895?s=46

I appreciate that Europeans love outdoor seating so much that they’ll sit outdoors even in freezing temps. Admittedly I cannot relate.

最近、英語圏のSNSで「日本の田舎の空き家が格安で買える！」という投稿がしばしばバズっています。たとえばこの画像のように、築年数こそ古いものの土地や建物が数千ドル程度で購入できると紹介されると、毎回大量の閲覧や“いいね”を集めているんです。 とはいえ、このように外国人による不動産買収が増えれば、地域の治安悪化や格差拡大につながる可能性も否めません。日本の文化や地域コミュニティを守るためにも、外国人が不動産を購入する際の規制を今以上に強化すべきではないでしょうか。

Remember when the US invaded Iraq and everyone said it was for oil? Fast forward 20 years, and China is now Iraq’s biggest oil investor while US companies sit out because of ‘risk and corruption.’ https://www.spglobal.com/commodity-insights/en/news-research/latest-news/crude-oil/112024-china-steps-up-presence-in-iraqs-oil-gas-sector-as-us-players-stay-on-sidelines

Just give your take, don’t try to hedge with “this is a hot take…” or some other disclaimer. You’ll get judged regardless so just get it off your chest or hold your peace. If you really think it’s a valid viewpoint that gets unfairly criticized then spend more time building your case.

I think this is such a crucial point and it’s unfortunate it’s lost on most builders, even in crypto where we’re “building the future” From a biography on Masayoshi Son, highlights from a dude on X. https://x.com/maxmarchione/status/1900143627650695478?s=61

Idk how commissioning an autobiography by the most prominent biographer when you’re still clearly mid career wasn’t a red flag.

I find Azuki’s approach of trying to be synonymous with anime in web3 extremely cringe and inauthentic.
