Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.
We all need to say this very clearly:
NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!
Expropriate their asses instead.
They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.
They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

What is the most exciting bioinformatic research you’ve recently come across? I am interested in people who try to democratize knowledge, helping others and who aren't obsessed with publishing papers and satisfying their own curiosity. I want to find research that matters 👏
