New York Is Building the Store and the List
New York is subsidizing groceries while building a property-tax target roll. Britain offers the warning: wealth exits when socialist incentives stop working.

.@nvk resurfaces a Mircea Popescu post from 2012 mocking quantum FUD against bitcoin. "Bitcoin is doomed because quantum computers" was the argument then. The FUD cycle never changes, only the price does.
Saifedean Ammous shares four talks from Murray Rothbard’s centenary conference in Porto, covering Rothbard on Palestine, obstacles to Rothbardianism, his greatest hits, and links to Bitcoin.

Wall Street is split on the Clarity Act and Lummis is calling out the "Big Bank Lobby" for claiming otherwise. BlackRock, Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, Goldman Sachs, and SoFi have all publicly endorsed the bill. BlackRock's Samara Cohen called it "an important step toward establishing a regulatory framework that puts investors first." Goldman CEO David Solomon said he's "very supportive of moving the CLARITY Act forward" despite it not being "perfect." The divide is telling. Asset managers who've launched crypto products want regulation. JPMorgan and the traditional banking lobby want tighter stablecoin yield restrictions that critics say would protect bank deposit monopolies at the expense of innovation. Meanwhile the Senate clock is ticking. Thune shifted floor time to judicial nominations and Russia sanctions, leaving only a handful of legislative days before the August 8 recess. Wall Street firms that stand to profit from crypto adoption support the bill, while banks threatened by stablecoin competition lobby to water it down. Both sides frame it as "protecting consumers."
Sam Altman: "The next 6 months will feel like maybe the equivalent of the last 2 years of model progress."

"Inflation will come down," Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent told Sean Hannity, saying the U.S. economy will move past the Iran conflict and the "feel-good factor will come back."
.@dhh says Marc Andreessen helped during Basecamp’s staff crisis: “Marc gave us reassurance… It was incredibly helpful to give us the fortitude to stick with it. We’re not going to grovel.”
Developer shares simple Buzz app sidebar tip: one channel per feature, drag through states, archive when done.
Sen. Rand Paul: "See you tomorrow."

Saylor declares "Bitcoin has won. Now it must survive victory." "Its gravest threat is not an enemy at the gates, but corruption from within"

Bank of Russia drafts first regulations to launch cryptocurrency market: “The Bank of Russia has created conditions for organised trading in digital currencies and digital rights.”
Jim Cramer on data centers: "If you are borrowing money to buy something related to the data center, here’s what you’re going to do. Tomorrow morning, 9:30 AM, sell it. No matter what. You will not regret it."
