A Sitting President Is Making Billions Off Crypto, Which Feels Like a Bit of an Outrage

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-12 17:00:34

Before his first presidential bid, TV personality and real estate tycoon Donald Trump was doing just fine, financially speaking. The benefactor of a $5.5 million trust fund, adjusted for inflation — not to mention a $20 million inheritance from his father, split with his siblings — Trump's actual net worth has always been a hazy target for estimates. As he left office in 2021, Trump's net worth seemed to be around $2.3 billion, according to Forbes, thanks to legal fallout and a real estate port

Scientists believe they're close to solving an ancient mystery involving a strange hominin skull, neither Neanderthal nor human, that was found fused to a cave wall — with a stalagmite sticking out of the top, to complete the eerie scene — in Macedonia, Greece. In a new study published in the Journal of Human Evolution, researchers from France's Institut de Paléontologie Humaine (or Human Paleontology Institute in English) claim they've been able to place an age on the "Petralona cranium," whic

Everything About Bitflags: How to store up to 32 booleans in one value?

news.ycombinator.com Igor Klepacki 2025-10-08 23:58:33

When I was younger and I was involved in reverse engineering communities and systems programming, there was this concept called bit flags. They were a standard way of storing a pack of true or false values in ... actually a single value - a function parameter, local variable or entry in some configuration. I found nothing fascinating about that back then and just used it on a regular basis, as every other engineer was. Long time after that and after shifting my focus to web development I just r

Defense Department Scrambles to Pretend It’s Called the War Department

The Pentagon’s website and social media channels were overhauled Friday at President Donald Trump’s behest to reflect the United States Defense Department’s new “Department of War” persona, shifting from Defense.gov to War.gov—a symbolic rebranding that highlights the administration’s preference for projecting strength through the language of war rather than the idiom of defense.

Antoni, a former Heritage Foundation economist who was photographed at the January 6th debacle (but who claims he was just a “bystander” to the chaos) and who, according to reports from CNN and Wired, formerly ran a Twitter account that posted all sorts of gnarly stuff.
