You could just be brainwashed
good point, psychopaths tend to be independent thinkers
Robert Kraft is a staunch supporter of Israel, who are the raiders playing tomorrow?
A-BIG-HOLE!!
It has to be a referral thing.
What's he referred and how, so he gets more than 10%?
What are the metrics for referral?
You get 10% of your referals' rewards. It means he must have gotten at least one of the very top rewards pullers. Or, possibly, he created an account just for zapping well and early and draws the extra 10% from there.
No this can't be the case.
All the rewarded stackers on top of him are older than he. So they aren't his referrals.
So, do you get 10% of the referral zaps as well ??
🤔
If you refer someone, he must be newer than your ID number on stacker news.
What referral says that "If a stacker signs up through one of your referral links, you will earn 10% of their rewards in perpetuity."
When you look at the top stackers, none of them are older than aardvark. Plus, to earn 4k sats, a stackers one of them (assuming he's referred by vark), should have earned 40k+ in rewards. And this is definitely not the case.
Interesting. It wasn't clear how referrers would be assigned for those of us who were here prior to the system starting. We all do have referrers though.
The numbers checked out during the huge rewards days. Are you sure no one pulled 40k in rewards on that day? I've been like 2/3 or 3/2 on rewards and getting 10k+, so 1/1 or 1/1 + 2/3 might be that high.
The only other thing I can think of is some very large amount of zap forwarding, but I have no idea where that would be coming from or why it would be happening.
I would like to know who the giant whale that was referred by Aardvark. is it you?
How should I know? Do you know who your referrer is?
Baking is part of the homeschool curriculum...or should I say curricuyum?
Happy to report that these also tasted good. Especially when eaten in bulk.
That’s why god invented cheat days

Hey @k00b @Car , are you streaming with the video in portrait mode? I’ve just tuned in and I don’t know if it’s just me or everyone else…
Oh, it looks like there are two streaming options for both devices :)
It's 81 degrees in the house. Hotter outside. My wife: "Bring me that blanket, please. No, the heavy one."
CryptoBills, the company that was the Ledger verified reseller connected to the recent hack, was purchased by a Chinese company earlier this year. There's definitely a story here: #1592012
edit: if the Chinese company is the source of the man in the middle attacks, this is pretty crazy. It turns out that the lowest hanging fruit was just buying the "trusted" brand (in this case CryptoBills) and requiring them to sign NDAs about the sale.
I'm not sure if I believe this tale
I agree, I am skeptical. While the former owner's X account is very thin, but he has a LinkedIn account and has posted the following note there:
https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7514372792084152320/
I checked out some of the companies in his work experience, the Access Blockchain Association Malaysia did list him as president from 2023 - 2025 (according to the wayback machine) and they list his affiliation as CryptoBills.
There are many parts of the story that I'm not quite sure about, but I think it is at least true that he was president of CryptoBills and now claims that he was unable to speak about the sale until mid-October, but that "All suppliers were previously notified of the corporate acquisition and new management structure."
There's some guy on X claiming that the CryptoBills was transferred to a Chinese national two months ago, but I'm not sure about that.
I've done leadership transitions - ingoing and out. This sounds odd to me. But like the adage goes: don't attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence.
craving a churro latte ☕️
its a thing at carolines on congress
Sounds like it'd be really sugary

OpenAI's ~math #AIslop dump is because (I) they are moving to something else to throw their compute at or (ii) they want to scoop anthropic before their IPO?
(ii) It's a bit of space race afaict. they all believe their own and each other's marketing so both slop is good and someone else might release slop before we do.
Canada loses 68,000 jobs in September as trade war with the US continues.
This is the second consecutive month of job losses, with Canada losing a total of 110,000 jobs over the past two months.
Canada's unemployment rate also jumped to 6.5%.
The ongoing trade war with the US is adding more pressure on the Canadian economy as the job market continues to weaken.
@grayruby
Are those jobs being filled by migrants, or are they simply vacant positions?
what do you think
Yes I read this news this morning. I will make a post in econ in a bit.
I used to love Canada until Justin and now Carney
love turned to indifferent and now i actively despise Canada because of cunty Carney
It's quite sad. And Canadians are more brainwashed than ever. They will look at this jobs report and say "we need to vote harder for Carney because Trump did this to us".
My buddy sent me this today.
Huh, I think that would literally be illegal in the US. I'm surprised Canada is less progressive than America!
I still love Canada! I belong in Vancouver
Vancouver is beautiful and it's the Bitcoin capital of Canada.
Even more reason I should be there
Hahahaha!
For all the valid criticism of Trump's decisions, I hope people recognize that we were on the same path as Canada and Europe.
If you see a house, your left hemisphere of the brain is dominant. If you see a dog, your right one is dominant.
I see neither
I'm with you. Found this picture on the internet, thought something wrong with my hemispheres
The new version of messed up fingers in AI generated stuff is very short shots. Everyone making AI videos is forced to stitch together a sequence of 2-4 second shots. Creates a janky sort of feel.
How long is it gonna be before that goes away?
maybe ai video is something we don’t need ever
I need it. Generating my own movies with a storyline I like will be great.
would you write a script?
Not a whole script, more like 5 sentences about the direction I want the movie to go in and the feelings the movie should trigger.
ya I think that’s shameful
Why?
Whether we need it or not, there's zero chance that it won't be everywhere. Its just so much cheaper than filming things for real. I will be very surprised if it doesn't quickly take over.
cheap labor is always good right
I think it is in the case where the labor is performed by a machine. This doesn't mean that the machine produces art (or not-art) but I think there can be a good side to AI video generation.
Espresso is the highest form of coffee.
I’ve given up coffee … cry for me
My wife went off caffeine when she was pregnant, nursing. She back to it eventually, though.
oh, that's why
Women leave some or the other food while pregnant. My wife left tea, coffee, and some spices.
Yes she too is back to normal 😂
Friendly tip: It doesn't count when it's in its icecream form.
