Where Money, Investing, and Technology Meet
Ilya Lichtenstein, who pled guilty to money laundering charges tied to his role in the massive hack of crypto exchange Bitfinex, has apparently been released early from prison. In a Thursday evening post on X, Lichtenstein said he was out early “thanks to President Trump’s First Step Act” (a prison reform bill passed during Trump’s […]
For too long, personas have been something that many of us just created, despite the considerable work that goes into them, only to find they have limited usefulness.

MSI is apparently getting ready to launch the RTX 5090 Lightning, its new top-of-the-line GPU that will slot above the MSI RTX 5090 Suprim, with new overclocking records that bear the GPU appearing on benchmark sites.

Attack Surface Management (ASM) tools promise reduced risk. What they usually deliver is more information. Security teams deploy ASM, asset inventories grow, alerts start flowing, and dashboards fill up. There is visible activity and measurable output. But when leadership asks a simple question, “Is this reducing incidents?” the answer is often unclear. This gap between […]
I recently reviewed my Vercel dashboard and came to an unexpected conclusion: I appear to be speedrunning side projects as if it were a professional obligation.
