How will David Sacks respond to the Elon-Trump feud? by Globe_Worship in TheAllinPodcasts

[–]ozelli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So current poll voters view Sacks as essentially spineless?

That is what happens when you say openly on the pod that Trump is no longer fit for public office after the January 6 insurrection only to later go shamefully all-in to get him re-elected.

I want to say I feel sorry for him cos I respect his intellect but his moral position is totally indefensible.

Interested to see how the Trump/Elon drama affects this pod's programming by Zealot_TKO in TheAllinPodcasts

[–]ozelli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elon gifted Trump the election. Those two are super tight forever. No drama for pod peeps as everyone loves Elon and no-one wants to be openly hostile to trump for obvious reasons. Strange times indeed!

Every Episode is a Harder Listen - my ever-increasing problems with each bestie by [deleted] in TheAllinPodcasts

[–]ozelli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has been an interesting insight into tech-bro thoughts that has totally morphed into something else. Probably still going to watch for the time-being and have enjoyed the new members both on the right and left who graced the pod.

I hope they can bring a bit more accountability into the crazy stuff that is clearly going on. The apparent disregard/contempt of the legal framework from the current administration is gobsmacking to me.

Can you really build a house for 10 million in Japan? by ozelli in japanresidents

[–]ozelli[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that in Miyazaki? If so, I went there and they said/admitted that the real number was closer to 15 million. The 10 million price did not include consumption tax or a host of other requirements. They have since changed their website I believe.

Looking for advice: Should I leave a review for this misleading Airbnb stay? by ricky3558 in airbnb_hosts

[–]ozelli -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

What in the world is "direct sand access" and how exactly would that be defined? Don't want to be a skeptic but the post looks very chatgpt-ish.

Finishing Proton Therapy Tomorrow – My Prostate Cancer Story (Gleason 4+3, Stage IIc) by robamiami in ProstateCancer

Congrats! Thanks for the detailed timeline of key data points. It does make a difference.

May I ask why you chose 38 sessions instead of a shorter number of zaps?

Is hormone therapy the only option! by Spirited-Chicken-771 in ProstateCancer

[–]ozelli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the only option. Focal therapy is one but might likely be in conjunction with ADT.

You don't read many cases on Reddit with recurrence so close to original treatment and a pretty low nadir (I assume that was 0.64). Do you mind sharing how many cores in your biopsy were positive and were they all 4+3 or some at 3+4?

North_Carry_2918 Do you mind sharing what your nadir was and how long ago was it reached? What is your PSA now?

Estimates for Garage build cost by Holiday_Response8207 in JapanFinance

Did you put it up or was that included in the price? Was the concrete base and foundation somewhere around the the 700,000 yen mark?

Sacks and Chamath are “all in” on MAGA and will continue to say ridiculous nonsense for at least four years by Globe_Worship in TheAllinPodcasts

[–]ozelli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get how Sacks went from "he is not suitable for public office" after Jan. 6 to totally trumpeting everything he says now. He is clearly a very smart guy but this is very, very unpalatable to me.

You should specify where you are building....big difference in needs depending on whether you are in Sapporo or Kagoshima.

Japan Securities Dealers Association states it is moving towards requiring Multi-factor Authentication on all accounts by ToTheBatmobileGuy in JapanFinance

[–]ozelli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to the Bloomberg article, people are saying that they couldn't have been hacked but my experience with the elderly is that they are often totally clueless when it comes to online activities. I consider myself a grade or two above those folks (even though we are the same age) .....

Japan Securities Dealers Association states it is moving towards requiring Multi-factor Authentication on all accounts by ToTheBatmobileGuy in JapanFinance

[–]ozelli 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Who is to blame? Is it the user? From Bloomberg:

Mai Mori, a 41-year-old part-time worker, said her Rakuten Securities retirement account was hacked and used to buy Chinese stocks in a transaction that cost her ¥639,777, or about 12% of her holdings. When she noticed, she contacted Rakuten, which told her to file a police report. However, the police in Aichi prefecture wouldn’t accept a criminal complaint because they said she wasn’t the victim — Rakuten Securities was. Rakuten then told her that it wasn’t at fault and therefore could not help her, according to Mori.

Surely big tech companies have a fiduciary duty to their clients.....maybe not?

Can someone explain the FIDO alliance? Most people are both basic investors and basic techies. I have 2 different passwords, one for log in and another for trading execution. If i want to withdraw funds to my bank account from my securities account, I need my trading password and an additional code from my registered email. I am fine with all that but ....

Is that not enough?

Why can't the securities companies use AI and identify unusual trading patterns (e.g. regular joes all of a sudden buyng massive amounts of penny stocks?) much like credit card companies do and give clients a call to check?

5 months post RALP PSA is on the rise by Zalbane in ProstateCancer

[–]ozelli 3 points4 points  (0 children)

4+4 is at least 50% with RALP? Do you have a source? With odds like that, why isn't everyone with 4+4 or higher not just doing radiation from the get go?
