Exceptional article countering conventional view of Amazon as a bad employer, by @KevinMims16, who works there quillette.com/2019/07/19/the…
The right-on hostility to Amazon, one of the most successful companies in the world that got big by making people's lives better, is baffling
(Translation: not baffling)

**2% Challenge Ultimate Thread**

Aim: Complete 2% total account gain per day

Rules:

Starting Balance: $10,000
Platform: BitFinex
Margin: 3x
Alt Account made leaving main account for salary trades

If 2% profit or loss is achieved, no further trades will be placed that day
Stops will be moved to secure 2% minimum gain on set ups with planned continuation

2% per day on $10,000 starting balance = $1m after 239 perfect days (impossible)

I'm comfortable aiming for 2% gains, the timeframe I'm less concerned about, there's going to be losing days.
The opening to the challenge will require a $200 profit to begin growing the account. The required profit will rise as the challenge continues and I'll keep this updated in each post in line with account balance.

Good morning, folks still following the #SAA2019 debacle. Some new info has just come in, so here's another mini-thread... (1/n)
Two of the #MeToo survivors who left #SAA2019 due to @SAAorg's failure to kick out David Yesner (who had been banned from UAA campus and the Alaska Anthro Assoc) have confirmed that they've had their registration fee refunded by SAA. (2/n)
And I also got second-hand information from an anonymous Board member that they are muzzled due to the SAA's lawyer. The lawyer has insisted that if the Board talks, they could compromise their Board insurance and open themselves up to personal liability. (3/n)

Y’all, it’s that time of year: LoveLife is starting their #40weeksofharassment campaign today in Charlotte, Greensboro, and in Raleigh.

Poll time: do I make another weekly update thread like last year?
Alright y’all. You win.

WELCOME TO WEEK ONE OF #40WEEKSOFHARASSENT! I’ll be your Sherpa of Shenanigans through this ordeal. Please keep all hands and feet inside the ride at all times. And don’t forget:
Off the bat, we have some developments from last year. The kickoff event today was not a permitted parade, and it was held primarily on the property next to the admin building.

1/ Satoshi’s Vision™ is a silly endeavor, as it doesn’t matter what it was, we are where we are now. However, those pushing the “Bitcoin was first made for payments” narrative insist on cherry-picking sentences from the white paper and forum posts to champion their perspective.
2/ The following tweetstorm is a categorical repudiation of this tired narrative. Bitcoin was purpose-built to first be a Store of Value (SoV), a thread:
3/ How do we determine Satoshi’s intention? We need to look at his ideology, description of functionality/architecture, timing, and audience. Let's start with how Satoshi describes the problem Bitcoin solves. In his first public comms after the whitepaper, in the first paragraph:
