Crazy waves and wind on Fort Lauderdale Beach right now, but no flooding yet on A1A. High tide could get nasty later tonight with the king tides.

Meta borrowing tips straight out of the “Microcap CEO’s Guide to Raising Capital.” Announce you have no plans to dilute, then do an equity offering a few days later. On the Q3 earnings call Meta’s CFO said, “We do not have any specific financing plans to announce at this time.” This morning: $35B stock offering, which is on top of the up to $60B ATM early next year.

A guy on Reddit said his iPhone duo screen cracked along the hinge within six hours. Apple execs have said, “hold us accountable”. This is where all the screens seem to be breaking. H/t @kro_roe
这位国内的用户可能无意中确认了iPhone Duo裂屏的原因。在使用一天后,铰链已经突出。 因为目前发现的裂点都几乎在一模一样的位置,也就是内屏中线稍靠下半段的位置,正好是该用户发现凸起的位置。如无意外很快就会往上顶破屏幕。该用户目前已近联系苹果售后。 从目前国内外用户的裂屏例子来看,数量还真不少,在reddit上都成了热门帖。苹果暂时没有确认铰链设计或制造有缺陷(就算真的有按苹果尿性也很难承认),建议继续观望等回应。

Unnecessarily complicated micro-engineering on the iPhone Duo hinge. Makes you wonder how the Tesla or SpaceX team would look at this, especially with Elon’s rule: “the best part is no part.”

Muchos mensajes, análisis y comentarios como este, asegurando que las pandillas de Haití no son como las de El Salvador; que son sanguinarias, que están fuertemente armadas, que nadie ha podido vencerlas, que todas las misiones han fracasado, que estamos cayendo en una trampa, que no sabemos a lo que nos enfrentamos, que será nuestra ruina, que vamos camino a nuestro Waterloo. Pero cuando Dios nos conceda la victoria, los mismos que hoy dicen todo eso cambiarán su discurso. Dirán que siempre fue fácil, que cualquiera podía hacerlo, que las pandillas de Haití no eran tan peligrosas como se pensaba. En fin, nunca los hemos escuchado y no vamos a empezar ahora. Todos los que se han enlistado son creyentes y hemos encomendado esta misión a Dios, mientras que las pandillas de Haití son satánicas y es de conocimiento público que hacen sacrificios humanos. Dios nos concederá la victoria. El Creador del Universo está con nosotros. Deuteronomio 28:7 “Jehová derrotará a tus enemigos que se levantaren contra ti; por un camino saldrán contra ti, y por siete caminos huirán de delante de ti”.
¿BUKELE Y SU WATERLOO? Con el anuncio del envío hacia Haiti, desde El Salvador, de un contingente de 3000 militares, cuya misión es encontrar a los 4 miembros de las fuerzas armadas de ese país, secuestrados el pasado domingo, cuando penetraron en territorio dominado por las pandillas y fueron atacados por una pandilla de irregulares armados, se avizoran en las próximas horas fuertes enfrentamientos armados. A estas horas, y sabiendo cómo se resuelven las cosas en Haití, las probabilidades de que estos militares continúen vivos son mínimas, así que si no hay posibilidad de negociar nada, y por lo tanto lo que se plantea es un enfrentamiento armado entre tropas de El Salvador y las pandillas que son dueñas del territorio donde fueron atacados y secuestrados los militares centroamericanos. Según lo publicado en la prensa internacional, los responsables son dos organizaciones criminales que dominan el área de “Croix des Bouquets”, una de ellas dirigida por Claude Celestin, quien es cabeza de la pandilla Chen Mechan (perros rabiosos), y Wilson Joseph (“Lammo San Jou) líder de la banda 400 Mawozo. En el día de ayer, este último desafió públicamente al presidente Nayib Bukele en un vídeo publicado en las redes sociales, donde advirtió que no se irá de Haití, y mostró miles de municiones y pertrechos con arma de diversos calibres, que según el están esperando a los salvadoreños. Tenemos entonces la bandeja servida para un enfrentamiento armado a solo 45 kms de la frontera de la República Dominicana y Haití, de un ejército de pandilleros armados sin nada que perder, frente a tropas regulares de El Salvador, que pelearán una guerra urbana en las calles de un país que no es el suyo y es absolutamente desconocido. Ya en el pasado reciente, los Estados Unidos en 1994 mando 20,000 soldados e intentó organizar a Haití para que se volviera a la senda de lo que ellos llaman democracia, y luego en el 2004 invadieron de nuevo junto a Canada, lo que terminó en la creación de una fuerza multinacional, la Minustah, que terminó en el más absoluto fracaso, es decir, estamos metidos en un tema que no tiene solución. Si hay alguien que tiene experiencia en combatir pandillas lo es Nayib Bukele, el presidente de el Salvador, su historia de combate a las “Maras” está a la vista de todos, solo que Haití no es el terreno amigo donde peleó esa guerra, un país de habla y cultura hispana donde jugaba de local, el país caribeño es un transplante de África en América, con una historia de violencia típica de las sociedades primitivas. Cuando Napoleón envió a sus tropas a sofocar la revolución haitiana en 1802, pensó que miles de solados podrían devolver la colonia a sus dueños, pero solo un año después, Dessalines y la fiebre amarilla los obligó a rendirse, ¿será Haití el Waterloo de Bukele?. El futuro dirá.

I tried the Samsung fold 8 and thought the form factor and ergonomics were pretty compelling. But Apple decided to make the iPhone Duo much heavier and much thicker, remove Face ID, use a mid camera package, weirdly placed volume buttons, and no action button. And then the “back” navigation button is on the right hand side?? On the external display, you’re actually getting usable screen space approximately the size of the iPhone mini. It’s also significantly heavier and thicker than the Samsung fold 8. One of the reasons the Steve Jobs era was so successful is that products weren’t designed by committee.
The same website, on the Samsung fold 8 and iphone duo.

Very clean setup short setup on $AAPL. It caught a bid this week as a perceived safety trade, but Q3 iPhone sell-through is going to be ugly. Risk/reward here is heavily skewed.

Good guy to follow. He’s also not that grumpy in person. 😉
So... I've kind of grown myself an audience I never really expected or intended to. My account is sort of a novelty; I post and pin my monthly updates, which seem to be the driver (and which massively overstates my competence), and I *occasionally* write an alpha-laden post on a name I hold and don't think is getting good discussion, but largely I just retweet stuff I like and browse around. With that in mind, I'd like to highlight some accounts wrongfully smaller than mine which post far more actionable and sophisticated intelligence with far more frequency. In no particular order: @UCompounders has written some simply excellent content on my two big sectors, mining and defense. He highlights tons of interesting research pulled from financial journals as well. @StableBread pulls together tons of information on stocks I follow into easily readable posts. He's also building really stellar tooling for research, parsing and surfacing information buried in filings. @MicrocapDr brings tons of experience, an attention to detail, and a critical eye, to many microcaps, especially in the energy space. @thegresearch is a young analyst bringing serious research to bear in an array of industries. Puts up great performance as a testament to skill. @aviancapital is sitting just behind me on follower count but should be way ahead. Provides excellent perspective on the environment we're in, posts excellent research, and has launched a L/S fund that, if you're an accredited investor, may be of interest to you. @Raunav410657 digs into overlooked opportunities across an array of drivers and catalysts, and posts excellent alpha-rich articles on SS. If you're into metals and mining, I'm not sure there are many people posting better industry and technical content than @HankRuehl. @bmb21 is a sophisticated microcap investor worth paying attention to. Lower volume, higher signal. There are of course many great names I'm missing, but for my feed, these are names I've been very happy to see, and each of them contribute far more value than I do. Seriously, I don't deserve the reach I have (even if it's small in the grand scheme). Each of the above have a legitimate reason to be followed more than I. Give em a look.

In the same way TSA was started as a result of 9/11, we’re just one crisis away from this policy being applied to your ability to bank, work, travel, and transact.
Effective November 12th, 2026, abusive behavior towards Claude will be a violation of Anthropic's Usage Policy.

It will be Shakespearian-level irony if OpenAI’s financial gaslighting pops the bubble in stocks today, and in 6 months their newest model breaks encryption, implodes crypto, and freezes the banking system.

Not again… “Nearly 200 People Under Observation After Irkutsk Lab Worker Dies From Plague" - Moscow Times
🚨☣️More details on the Oct 1st pneumonic plague outbreak in Siberia, after a lab accident at a BSL-3 lab. "FSB units accompanying ambulances transporting people who had been in contact with [lab tech] Shipilova for medical examination," as per local news. This is significant. FSB is Russia's domestic security / counterintelligence service, tasked w/implementing the national security of Russia." (Its predecessor was the KGB). This suggests quarantine was not voluntary. It also means Russian authorities are treating the lab accident and plague outbreak as a national security issue, involving a lot more than routine public health.

This is fantastic news! Higher quality academic programs are desperately needed here. @PurdueCS let’s open a campus in South Florida! Congrats to Carnegie Mellon.
🚨 BREAKING: Ken Griffin is donating $2 BILLION to launch a Carnegie Mellon University campus in Miami.. the largest individual gift to higher education in U.S. history. The new 35-acre campus will be located in Wynwood and focus on computer science, AI, robotics, technology and innovation. This is a MASSIVE win for Miami’s evolution into a global tech and innovation hub.

Harvest season is in full swing for farmers. Last year at this time diesel was $3.75 / gal. Now it’s approaching $6.50 / gal. Farmers must harvest their crops. They can’t delay and hope for lower diesel prices and risk that crops will spoil. Food prices are headed much higher. Inflation is going to be very sticky. What is Warsh going to do?
