Can they be sued for false advertising? I can't find any evidence at all that it won TIME Best Invention, nor can I find any article in WIRED praising it as "the virus killing coat of the future".

The closest WIRED article about it is quite dubious, and I couldn't find anything on TIME

I wonder how much Chinese capital flows play into this. The Chinese are well known real estate nuts, and have propped up prices in various real estate markets around the world.

Seems plausible

Hmm, you may be right in terms of total zaps

this is weird and a bit hard to make sense of

As bitcoin price went up, the average size of zaps on SN went up too.

In the last few months the trends have been uncannily close

To make cleaning up easier. The plate stays clean, and you can simply invert the plastic bag to wrap over any food leftovers to throw it away easily

*The average zap is computed after dropping the 95th+ percentile of zaps for each week

AI slop?

Has anyone written a theory about how democracy and fiat-money economies don't mix well?

I wonder if the success of democratic countries was predicated on not being able to vote to print money (directly or indirectly).

Sounds like a great time at a personal level, but a bit of a disappointing conference!

Do you think the decline in attendance is gonna be a trend? I feel like there is less overall interest in Bitcoin, even as the price continues to hit new ATHs. Wonder why that is.

You know what, I ordered it anyway, haha

That reminds me, I haven't even checked just the raw correlations on this. I got so caught up in the econometric modeling (a common pitfall of academics). I should check, and that'll probably the first thing I do next.

Sad to see a loser living off the fumes of their previous reputation.

you know it's authentic because they wrap the plate in plastic haha!

I hope you're right, but it's hard to get a sense of the aggregate from our personal experiences. I'm pretty active in a local church and the Gen Zers there are pretty based: getting jobs, getting married, respecting (even some providing for) their parents, contributing to the community in many ways. Some are even interested in bitcoin
