If you're short USD, I guess this makes all the sense in the world.

My friend - apologies for your experience.

In my experience, you can clean up your feed of unwanted content pretty quickly. Just go to discover and long tap > "Not Interested" on the stuff that's of the genre you want to filter out of your life.

I do this every couple months with IG babes & thot accounts to keep my feed free of sexual imagery. Works a charm.

Given the high turnover of companies in the Fortune 500 - these big CEOs aren't wrong.

The changing of order is inevitable.

> it is possible to program the NFT such that the artist takes a chunk out of every resale on the secondary market

I hear this and like the notion, but I'm curious - how does the smart contract know what the sale price was?

Not sure the real world agrees. Including almost every other law, accounting, and financial practice - personality-centric companies make up a non-trivial percentage of the worlds most iconic brands.

Just off the top of my head:

>> I can't think of a better way to actually maintain a clear understanding of what's going on at a place like Shopify.

Talking to customers would be one better way to maintain said clear understanding.

Running your own Shopify store (which Tobias also does) could potentially be another.

I appreciate the compassionate nature of your comment, but anecdotally I can very much attest to this thought being the first thing through my mind when I read the post title.

This question sitting at the top further validates that other people are wondering it, so disappointing as it may be - people are curious!

Great summary.

I'm very biased (active developer in Telegram ecosystem), but I'm having a hard time imagining Durov letting this SEC case stop him.

Even if he has to return all the funds, I'm confident he will still push forward and bring TON and Grams into production.

It's less of a straight path, but Durov's smart and stubborn - two valuable traits in this circumstace.

Key points:

>>Volodymyr Kvashuk, a 25-year-old software developer and Ukrainian citizen who worked for Microsoft from 2016 to 2018, took advantage of a testing program for Microsoft’s online retail sales platform. He made test accounts to obtain “currency stored value” such as Microsoft gift cards and then resold them online.

>>Kvashuk will be sentenced June 1 in U.S District Court and faces up to 20 years in prison.

Ouch.

On the authors Twitter, he comes across as having an axe to grind:

"lmao I woke my boy up" [1]

Sounds like he's keeping score of something, which isn't a quality I necessarily want from my "journalists".

Cool to see a follow Telegram developer on Hacker News! We're building an unofficial Telegram client for business users & teams, also using TDLib and the Telegram API. It's a great ecosystem to be in (we're long Telegram!)

Nice work!
