Aotearoa / New Zealand

Cryptocurrency consultant Nicolas Turnbull gave evidence to help the jury understand some of the jargon, but he said there seemed to be "no real structure" to DeLuney's trading.

"There's a lot of emotion in it, where if you're trading, and you're doing this as a job ... in my professional opinion you need structure, you need risk management."

This lady sounds incredibly stupid to me, some of the diary excerpts sound like a post on Wallstreetbets. Just fumbling around blindly while the pros help themselves to her money.

Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

• Something interesting that happened to you
• Something humourous that happened to you
• Something frustrating that happened to you
• A quick question
• A request for recommendations
• Pictures of your pet
• A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
• Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

Shockingly, building more houses means they become cheaper. Why didn't we think of this sooner?

Also, it's great to see more high density housing being built.

I've been pretty interested lately in where New Zealanders are talking online. This survery has a lot of interesting data and seems to show that vast majority of New Zealanders are on facebook over other platforms. That sucks because I do not and will not ever use facebook and cant view any of the discussion because it requires an account.

The survey seemed to show that NZers are feeling less and less optimisic about the internet with the 2024 data showing only 74% think the positives outweight the negatives compared to 90% in 2019.

I was very relieved to see that the results show NZers really dont like AI and think its very concerning.

I was surprised at the amount of people who never use SMS and I am thinking of getting rid of SMS as well and seeing how that goes.

The trends that looked at what specifically people cared about showed people care about the right things but its super blackpilling to see these numbers show people care about these things but their behavior reflects the complete opposite. Like 60-70% of people putting data privacy as their #2 issue while facebook being the most used site.

I remember discussing this with a colleague when it first happened, and we both agreed the most likely explanation was CP.

I'm still astonished that our top cop was dumb enough to have that on his work computer though.
