At this point I really don't know whether to believe that Trump is literally a Russian asset. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't, we need to wait for actual evidence to know for sure.

But I'm finding it more interesting right now watching how people are reacting to the possibility that Trump is a Russian asset. I'm thinking a lot of people would rather believe that it was true, because that way it would mean America didn't do this to themselves. Much nicer to believe that some Machiavellian spy plot had been pulled and America had been hoodwinked than to believe that America had simply elected this ridiculous parody of a human being because they wanted to.

Depends which exchange you're using.

It's a common misconception that a "cold wallet" is offline. It's still on the blockchain like any other wallet, it's just the keys that aren't on any network-connected computer.

It appears that in this case hackers managed to trick Bybit employees into entering the keys into a fake UI that gave the hackers access to them.

Don't use them if you don't want them. A paywall even helps you stick to that.

It's particular ironic how previously the big uproar was about adding these features in the first place. First it was "nobody wants this! Keep AI out of Notepad!" And now it's "how dare you prevent me from using AI in Notepad!"

I doubt he's "giving in."

What's happening here is that Trump thinks he's being a tough negotiator by doing all these supposed "power moves" of offering ridiculous deals and trash-talking his negotiating partner. But the result is ending up being the opposite - the US is throwing away all of the power it thought it had, Ukraine is showing that they don't need the US. Each threat that Trump makes is a card he's playing and revealing to actually be useless.

Now that the US has burned through its hand, Zelensky can turn around and tell them "okay, here's my offer."

Which, again, is not what you said they were doing this for.

Which is not the goal of terrorists. Terrorists are attempting to cause political change through their actions.

Or do you think that anything that involves murder, cheating, stealing, trafficking, kidnapping, and extortion is terrorism?

Why would a Chinese-made AI have American censorship and propaganda in it?

Not necessarily. There was a large pool of non-voters, if a lot of those were disillusioned leftists who didn't see anyone worth voting for then appealing to them might have been a winning strategy.

I would imagine it's not a problem if the betting market is small compared to the things being bet on. In this case you'd have to manipulate the long term outcome of the Ukraine war to win a few tens of millions of dollars, which seems unlikely.

Nice. This implies that these businesses are concluding that Ukraine is going to win - or at least, not lose - and will therefore retain its sovereignty. Their investments wouldn't be safe otherwise.

This sort of thing is why betting markets are so good at prediction. Experts can pontificate and analyze all they want but at the end of the day a betting market requires people to put their money where their mouth is.
