(You don't need to censor yourself like that on HN. You can say "balls." Heck, you can say "testicles"!)

"actors in the market who are buying and selling stocks" does not necessarily mean retail, no?


> share the same general morals of the rest of the population

funds don't share those morals


People who have the stake or dry powder to move the share price of a bank (or megacap tech company while we’re at it) are in no way interested in socially useful pricing around dickhead behavior.


Well, except to make sure it doesn’t apply to them, hah.


no reason why both can't be true — the security is overall better, and companies are happy to invest in advancing this paradigm because it gives them more control


incentive can and does undermine the stated goal. what if the government decided to take control of everyone's investment portfolio to prevent the market doing bad things? or an airplane manufacturer gets takes control of its own safety certification process because obviously its in their best interest that their planes are safe? imposed curfew, everyone has to be inside their homes while its dark outside because most violent crimes occur at night?


"homeless" is a larger category of which visible street people are but one subset. others are living in their cars or couch-surfing or what-have-you

There are millions of kids out there eating nothing but toaster waffles who don't have Crohn's. Your son's disease is not your fault — it's bad luck.

I bet dollars to donuts that it wouldn't have been flagged (and/or stayed flagged) if it was about Russia, China or North Korea.

Oh look, this one is flagged too.

What's up dang?


"The amount of cash looking to invest in winning web3 deals is pretty damn large; this means that when an attractive bet comes along, there is pressure to get as much capital into the deal as possible. [...] So, when a web3 product seems to have legs, well, it’s going to raise a check the size of a small city because there's a lot of capital wagered on there being lucrative wagers to be made on the blockchain. Even if the startup in question doesn’t really need that much funding."
