Friendly reminder to California: Taxes on unrealized capital gains have led to more than half of the wealth held by Norway’s top 400 taxpayers moving abroad. I.e. Norway has become more equal and made everybody poorer and worse off, just as expected from strong socialist ideas.
Norway Shrugged 🇳🇴🤷 My story recently racked up over 100 million views on this website. As a startup founder in Norway I was facing an unrealized gains tax bill many times higher than my net income. No politician ever told me how I'm supposed to pay the bill, but I got put up

And that's why retrofitting Wi-Fi for indoor coverage is more cost effective solution, especially when paired with quality of service metrics that can be used in real-time to determine offload opportunities. @helium is well positioned to take advantage of the trend.

We've been working towards this for some time! Carrier Offload selection gets better with more information. Demand Sampling is the start of that information by looking at how many users connect through hotspots. More sampling information will be added as this stabilizes and we

Met with @RepRitchie of New York alongside @helium and @BitdeerOfficial. We discussed scaling DePIN across the state, the next wave of ASIC chips and HPC, and @Conste11ation as an AI data verification layer making critical systems trustworthy. The future is being built today 🇺🇸

A post from early this year that explains how @helium QoS work is making waves in the Telco industry and paving the way to the future of wireless comms.
Post for nerds: @helium network has a unique QoS feature currently used by some offload partners to ensure subscriber experience is never compromised. The air interface quality is measured and reported on a per connection basis. At the time of association and authentication the

This kind of reversal is what happens when you have participants who are all on the same page. Carriers like @ATT and @MovistarMX want to provide better connectivity for their customers. They need better data to do it, though. @helium can do that for them. Deployers build the

DePIN is reimagining physical infrastructure, including telecom and transportation networks, energy grids, and more. The opportunity is huge: The World Economic Forum projects the DePIN category will grow to $3.5 trillion by 2028. The Helium network is the best-known example.

Why don't you enjoy some wine while being connected the whole time? Courtesy of the @helium network!!
121 existing Wi-Fi access points. Zero hardware replacement. Unspoken Words' Helium Plus deployment serves 2,300+ daily users. Proof you don't need to rebuild to scale.

I wanted to provide more details on the temporary drop in DAUs from one of the carriers using the @helium network and why this actually is a good signal for the long-term. As we integrate quality metrics deeper into the carrier stack, there are new algorithms for allocating
We're seeing reduced traffic from one carrier starting yesterday. Other carriers are unaffected. We are collaborating with the carrier to understand the behavior. We’ll update once we have more detalls.

@AdrianBrz_ This is my favorite thing about trade analysis. It’s just astrology for degenerates. Anyone can draw lines on a chart and point in a different direction it’s great. “Ah yes this is the inverse urinal cup pattern! Great tidings await after we break through the urinal cake line!”
