Today in things you didn't know you needed to know. You're probably familiar with the phrase "hoisted by his own petard," but do you know what it means?

A is a small bomb. And the of that word comes from Latin for "to fart."

So a somewhat fanciful interpretation of the phrase is "lifted by a fart rocket"

A deep dive on Andreessen Horowitz's latest "State of Crypto" report. In short: they want people to keep buying crypto, and are not above publishing blatant falsehoods to convince them to do so.

The report itself is 60 pages long, so this is a long one.

No. I want AI to get this institutional knowledge captured and extracted to where it belongs, OUTSIDE of slack.
