The article is mentioning the antiviral facet of ivermectin though. Acting against HIV, dengue and encephalitis for example. I'm very skeptical about this drug, but I'm not even close from being someone that knows this stuff.

In 2008 I was consuming as much entrepenuriship content I could (while building my first company). For obvious reasons I ended up watching a Tony's presentation. He was sharing a lot of stories about Zappos and in the end he talked about their Culture Book (a book entirely written by Zappos employees, with no editing).
Immediately after watch it I sent an email directly for him (at the time a CEO of a company that would be sold to Amazon for 1.2B 8 months after) asking if I could have a digital version of the book since I was living in Brazil. For my complete surprise I received a response in less than 1 hour just asking for my address. One day after I received a physical copy of the book, signed by the very own Tony Hsieh. He even invited me to visit Zappos offices if I ever were in Las Vegas!
Today I woke up with this sad news. Definitely, a huge loss to the world. I'm sure you'll always be an inspiration to many.
Rest in peace Tony Hsieh, A big fan

It's odd (or funny) that in the explanatory video about a high advanced AI model for translations it has a misspelling: Portugese

Maybe OP hired/interviewed others teammates. In my experience in small teams, when I've interviewed candidates, I knew the salary range for that position.
Re:Tinkercoin Will Sell You $20 in Bitcoin, But Only Once

The money transmission license aren't necessary for firms dealing less than 1000 USD per person per day, as the article says, and they are offering only 20 dollars one time ever.
To me it's just an attempt to create a large database with people interested in bitcoin (with their credit cards).
TryBTC.com introduces bitcoin to new users more effectively.

I don't think it's a scam. According to kevin-buttercoin comment a month ago, they are working on Scala based version, and it will be opensourced.
