I can’t tell which of these profits are in actual currency and which are in fake money.

As usual, the business fundamentals thing happens after the compensation has been paid out.

I’m getting the picture that governance is a great thing until you find out that other people want to govern you back.

The encouragement of a situation where you disconnect with those outside, the sleep deprivation, the drip of hints that you’re not meeting the standard, the trust in the great leader.

It also sounds corporate, yes.

You know how sometimes you use a grocery app and it’s fairly obvious that the people writing them don’t spend time in grocery stores? I’m getting that same impression here.

“We have an incident response capability … (to) prevent Kraken from being used in (exactly) this way (that you all saw happen here)”.
