American parents figuring out what Asian parents have known this whole time... Supplemental education is important, especially if you have an above-average child.
My 4th grader started @_MathAcademy_ on August 21 and finished the 4th grade course on October 4. Six weeks.
Two weeks later her school gave the annual MAP test.
Spring of 3rd grade: 208
Fall of 4th grade: 230
98th percentile for achievement, 99th for growth.
What it took: about 2 hours a week, roughly 15 hours total. The diagnostic gave her credit for what she already knew, so all of that time went to the gaps.
It wasn’t even daily. Some weekdays she did nothing, then an hour on Sunday.
I sat with her for the first 4 or 5 days. Once the habit formed she started working on her own. Now she’ll do several lessons in a row and only calls me when she’s stuck or tired.
She’s almost done with 5th grade math now. Thank you, @justinskycak and @_MathAcademy_ !

The 75+ bracket are goated at sports betting and day trading. They should start selling courses.

Can’t decide if Bodega owners are going to go out of business or if they just got a 30% boost to their margins.
At our five-borough municipal grocery stores, New Yorkers will get a 30% discount on eggs, milk, chicken, fresh produce and other everyday essentials.
In the wealthiest city in the richest country in the world, no one should have to wonder how they’ll afford the food they need to feed themselves or their families.

This feels consistent with the recent trend of overhype at @claudeai. I want something that can actually fill out the forms, not just interview me and tell me to "continue on TurboTax,"
Tax season is here and a connector is all it takes to make @claudeai way more useful.
Checkout what we just shipped:
Connect TurboTax or Aiwyn Tax (formerly Column Tax) to Claude to estimate your refund, see what you may owe, and get a better understanding on the forms before you file.

Everyone is shocked about Farcaster returning capital, but it's trivial to live off of a huge raise in a high interest rate environment.
Instead of doing an ICO, users should be able to delegate interest from @aave or @Morpho deposits to risky projects in exchange for tokens.
As a Farcaster investor, can confirm: money is coming back to investors.
Dan and the team built something genuinely amazing, perhaps the best decentralized social protocol. He's independently wealthy from Coinbase, and could have done whatever he wanted, but he decided to spend many years grinding on Internet freedom and decentralization.
For that I salute him.

$6.25 billion. 25 million children. $250 each.
Susan and I believe the smartest investment we can make is in children. That’s why we’re so excited to contribute $6.25 billion from our charitable funds to help 25 million children start building a strong financial foundation through Invest America. 💪📈🇺🇸

Today’s crypto markets have me wishing my MIL was more like this woman.
🚨 MOM LOSES IT AFTER HER SON BULLIES AN AUTISTIC KID AT THE PLAYGROUND - AND IT’S ALL CAUGHT ON CAMERA
“HOW DARE YOU!! How dare you! Come here! He is severely autistic - he does not understand! DON'T...YOU...DARE!”
She finds out her son bullied another child and completely snaps - screaming at him in front of the entire park.
“That's not nice...I’m not raising you to be a bully! How dare you make him feel like that! Are you blind?!”
Was this good parenting or a total meltdown?

13Fs only show long positions. Suppose a fund sold 5M put spreads (short higher strike, long lower strike)- a bullish trade, i.e., long the underlying. The 13F would just show 5M long puts, incorrectly implying a massive short position.
The Ethereum community welcomes @AnalosFork.
Imagine building and creating on Solana for months, paying the founder $40,000, only to have him FUD you into the ground.
Yep, this is real. Toly not only FUDded $LOS down 90% after they paid $40,000 to talk to him, he also LAUGHED in their faces.
This is outrageous.
