1/ The Binance hack is massive, but the actual market impact could be very different from the headline numbers. With much of the stolen stablecoins already frozen, the bigger question is which altcoins the hacker can still dump. I went through the hacker's wallet and compared the holdings against trading volume and market cap. 🧵

Marc Andreessen: "The job is not actually the atomic unit of what happens in the workplace. The atomic unit of what happens in the workplace is the task." "A job is a bundle of tasks." “Everybody wants to talk about job loss, but really what you want to look at is task loss.” "As the tasks change enough, then that’s when the jobs change." "Ten years from now, is your job title coder, or coder-designer-product manager, or is it just, ‘I build products,’ or is it just, ‘I tell the AI how to build products.’ Whatever that job is called, it’s going to be incredibly important, because the people doing that job are going to be orchestrating the AI." @pmarca on Lenny's Podcast with @lennysan

Carl Reiner gave Rob Reiner a copy of The Princess Bride, and Rob Reiner loved it and its father/son love story so much he turned it into a movie (with a grandfather and grandson). Three days before Carl’s death in 2020, he and Rob reenacted the final scene and “As you wish”

Who are the biggest buyers in CRE? Through the first seven months of 2025, the @LightBoxRE CRE Transaction Tracker followed $160B+ in deals, with new players stepping in and very few repeat buyers. The Top 10 investors so far this year include Blackstone Infrastructure, Starwood Property Trust, and LG Energy Solution. It’s a clear sign that liquidity is still moving, but according to LightBox data, investors are more selective about asset type, size, and fundamentals. See the full list and more insights in the July LightBox CRE Monthly Transaction Tracker: hubs.la/Q03G5lTM0 #CRE #CommercialRealEstate #CREInvesting #RealEstateCapital #CRETransactions #CREDeals

When a fire breaks out at a property, the damage isn’t over when the flames are out. Hazardous materials can seep into soil, groundwater, and even neighboring sites, creating long-term environmental liabilities. The challenge for environmental consultants has been accessing historical fire and hazmat incident data quickly and consistently. That’s why LightBox Live now integrates NFIRS data covering millions of incidents nationwide from 1980–2023. Our latest blog explains why fire history matters in CRE due diligence and how better data can help uncover hidden risks: hubs.la/Q03DJS0b0 #FireData #LightBoxLive #NFIRS #EnvironmentalConsultants

This is what ardent NYT _conservative_ Bret Stephens is saying. Anyone with any sense knows that today was an absolute disaster and disgrace for the United States.
