Thiel did not spend billions yet. US politicians are not really that expensive. The South African Tech Bros got the whole Congress with the President for a meager few hundred millions combined.
Peter Thiel’s legacy: Arrive as a gay immigrant. Thrive in the open, liberal ecosystem of California. Make billions. Spend those billions trying to destroy the very democratic system that allowed you to succeed in the first place. A dangerous, world-class hypocrite

🚨 BREAKING: Former New Mexico AG Hector Balderas reveals federal prosecutors asked his office to HALT its investigation into sex trafficking at Epstein's Zorro Ranch in 2019 — promising to share information in return. They never did. "Cooperation was a one-way relationship."

Sigh. How does shit like this get so much traction? If you are a small time trader, ignore ALL statistical strategies. Humans are not statistical actors individually, they only approximate bayesian inference in large groups. So you have all of the large firms looking for
As someone who builds institutional level quant systems for prediction markets, this is the closest thing to a quant desk simulation I have ever seen publicly shared. Runnable code for every model. Read it before someone takes it down.

Good summary of where we are at with Iran now
The arguments about Iran are so polarised that no one wants to admit that several things are true at once: You'd be a fool not to have serious reservations about the idea of a regime change war, especially in the Middle East. You'd also be a fool to allow terrorist-funding

People here are sharing the most obvious AI-generated content and video game footage as though it's real. Countless accounts here just peddle this stuff and uninformed people eat it up. Check things before believing it or sharing it.

Something is going on with Polymarket, and we need to talk about it. Last night, a brand new account made over $515,000 betting on the U.S. strike against Iran. The trade was placed 71 minutes before the news broke publicly. For years, Polymarket was effectively banned for U.S.

X claimed to have filtered 99.1% of Iranian bots that tried to flood the platform with disinformation before and after the strikes. THis leads me to question. why can't they just do this with Russian bots.
