Total speculation on my part. They could have blasted that cash on orgies for all I know.
Oh, that percentage is the year on year change, not a return on investment. So 2025 financial year they reported roughly -30 million cash from investments, this year is roughly -267 million, so they reported a loss of (267-30) / 30 = ~7.78 times as much money against the scope of the category "investments".
You'd expect to see the percentage go below zero when you buy more stocks / bonds or securities than you sell or which mature, or (I think) when you take money gained from an investment and then put it towards another investment or other cash category, so it's not necessarily a really bad thing for a company to have a negative number there. It just means they're either shuffling it internally or committed to spending it. The size and timing of the change is what is unusual.
There are all sorts of rules and tricks in this shell game though, I couldn't say with any certainty where that money went, or if it ever really existed at all. I just see a pattern of companies with big negative short term investment cash flows and layoffs that correlate maybe too well with the Bitcoin dump at the end of January.
I think the "original" money is still mostly from their 2021 IPO, so "leveraged" was the wrong word, my brain is a mess today.
But, they certainly look like they either ate up to a quarter billion loss on crypto gambling, or shuffled the money from that column into a different part of the books to pay for AI, or spent that money on other new investments. I don't think it could be entirely new investments because they've never even hit one billion in annual revenue, their net income has never been positive, and they've had no new acquisitions over the last couple of years. The new CFO in January move also points at a big financial fuckup being the reason.
No surprises here. Their cash flow suggests they were heavily leveraged on crypto (Edit: or other unusual spending, the crypto part is speculation, they officially claim to have no crypto), -776% y/y change for investments in 2026. Not as bad as their 2023 -1,023%, but their new CFO has an uphill battle ahead of her.
I can see them being on the 2027 casualty list. They've been pushing AI hard internally the last year or so, which caused me some issues at my workplace after their misplaced confidence led them to call out my niche as an "opportunity" they had "mostly solved". Spoilers: They hadn't then, visibly still haven't now, and will have less chance doing so by adding more AI because it is particularly terrible at this niche.
lemmy.zip was the nearest similar comm? This could have been put in an instance that is involved with the dispute, many of them have Fediverse communities.
Putting aside the irony of cross-posting a thread about the potentially ideologically inspired muting of smaller instances by Piefed to draw attention to lemmy.ml's potentially heavy-handed censorship and bias harming the growth of the Lemmy-verse - it looks less like "vitilizing" and more like fragmenting discussion.
More ironic still is that if I see one of your posts now it means that I'll probably go look at ml to see the actual discussion and hear more from the OP. Perhaps posting original content might go further to achieve your goals?
We had slightly different readings.
As he was writing he became aware that he was being watched, and a figure slowly emerged to his left. It was indistinct and on the periphery of his vision but it moved as V.T. would expect a person to. The apparition was grey and made no sound... V.T. was unable to see any detail and finally built up the courage to turn and face the thing. As he turned the apparition faded and disappeared.
He experienced a visual disturbance in his periphery manifesting as the false perception of a person. Even without it being interpreted as a person, that's a textbook mild hallucination.
Once V.T. knew this he calculated the frequency of the standing sound wave ... 18.97Hz ... plus or minus 10%
Table IV on page 212 of this book shows frequencies causing disturbance to the eyes and vision to be within the band 12 to 27 Hz.
Most interestingly, a NASA technical report mentions a resonant frequency for the eye as 18 Hz (NASA Technical Report 19770013810).
He cited two sources inline with ranges narrower than 8-40Hz which indicate that vision can be affected at the same frequencies he measured in the lab. He even noted that everyone would have slightly different resonant frequencies.
No, it's not a full research paper, but it is the citation you requested.
I believe the poster is referring to The Ghost in the Machine, Published in the Journal of the Society for Psychical Research, Vol.62, No 851 April 1998 (pdf)
If you know you're alone at home and then hear voices, that might be one way. There are ways to distinguish the presence of people beyond sight.
Blindness is much more than total blindness, which only describes a minority of blind people. There are different definitions, but the World Health Organization puts the definition as less than 3/60 or a visual field of less than 10 degrees in the better-seeing eye. That basically means that if you need to be more than 20 times closer to an object to be able to see the same level of detail, or you have almost no peripheral vision, you qualify.
"While cavitation occurs at low frequencies and destroys both viruses and tissues through the collapse of gas bubbles, acoustic resonance operates at high frequencies of 3–20 MHz,"

If I saw this, I would not assume that Gawker, WikiLeaks, or FOX Weather would be included in a blocklist called "No-QAnon". The list itself might not be smuggled, but it's not accurately representing itself either. If it has simply evolved over time, then it needs to be renamed or split into separate blocklists.
Additionally, if someone installing this changes their mind or realizes that what they received is not what they expected, then requiring them to either directly modify the database or click "remove" over 3000 times is arguably a dark pattern.
Or if you didn't file 5 years of tax returns - even if you've never lived or earned income in the US.
This caught an acquaintances of mine who was accidentally born in the US when their mother went into early labor. They found out about both the rule of the land and the exit tax when they were an adult when their application for citizenship in a different country was rejected for already being a dual citizen of the US.
