SoftBank is suing portfolio company IRL after it admitted 95% of its users were fake. VCs are stressing the need for ‘uncomfortable’ due diligence
  • How is it uncomfortable verifying how many customers you have? As someone who works in the legal sector I am staggered by how many anyone nebulous software companies are bought without the buyer conducting minimal due diligence like a review of the top 20 customers.

  • Would you rather be a cowboy, a pirate or a samurai?
  • Surely a pirate in the Caribbean or the Philippines wouldnt be too awful as you wouldn't be out at sea that much and close to land. For me it's the exploration and discovery that appeals to a life of piracy, but in reality I imagine it would be an absolute dog shit existence, especially compared to that of a samurai (minimal bloodshed unless there's a war) or cowboy (you look after horses on a ranch). However, many pirates just did a stint and then returned back home, so what's 2-3 years of making booty and having PTSD from cannon fire/pillaging.

  • Twitter is now X as the little blue bird disappears
  • This is wild, a significant percentage of Twitter's value was its brand, and this guy has just slapped an X on it and changed the colour scheme to dark mode. Do people actually still use Twitter?

    The season 2 finale of Alice in Borderland may be the worst episode I've ever seen

    This was nearing GoT level ass pull, did anyone watch this and enjoy it. I counted 15 minutes Alice was lying on the floor with minimal dialogue. Everyone came back to life after what was a very well made penultimate episode, then we had three fake outs with the final boss, only to end with it was all a dream, but not really as there was a meteorite that hit Tokyo.

    Is it normal to not say hello or good morning to your colleagues when you come into the office?

    I've been living here for a few years now and it strikes me as so bizarre not to acknowledge someone's presence as they come into the office. Is it the norm here? I am a Northerner so this could be a reason it is so jarring to me.
