The puzzle game on his Android phone had been interrupted by a video showing Hamas militants, terrified Israeli families and blurred graphic footage. Reuters has not been able to establish how the ad came to her son's video game, but her family isn't alone. In at least one case, the ads were played inside the popular "Angry Birds" game made by SEGA-owned developer Rovio (ROVIO.HE). Google ran more than 90 ads for the foreign ministry but declined to comment on where it displayed those ads. In the Cassis family's case, the ads appeared in a game called "Alice's Mergeland" made by a developer called LazyDog Game.

☆ Sam Bankman-Fried is now writing his own newsletter while under house arrest at his parents' $4 million property: 'I didn't steal funds'
  + stars: | 2023-01-13 | by ( Phil Rosen | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
Presumably writing from his parents' $4 million property in Palo Alto, California near Stanford, Sam Bankman-Fried published a lengthy newsletter yesterday, titled "FTX Pre-Mortem Overview." One statement stood out to me: "I didn't steal funds, and I certainly didn't stash billions away." In the note, Bankman-Fried highlighted that both FTX and Alameda Research were raking in billions in profits in 2021. A key to the collapse, he explained, was 2022's crypto bear market that left just about every token worth dramatically less than the year prior. Well, Bankman-Fried yesterday outlined two versions of the hedge fund's balance sheet, one from each of the past two years.
☆ Substack is having a moment, again. But can the startup live up to its massive $650 million valuation?

He provided a place where readers could find him "in case the bird app spirals into oblivion": his Substack newsletter. The epidemiologist Eric Feigl-Ding began promoting his Substack newsletter to his 722,000 Twitter followers in early November. They have been a welcome addition, Substack writers say. Substack has also recently rolled out mentions and cross-reporting functions, where writers can mention other Substack writers and share existing posts with their audiences. The irony, of course, is that many Substack writers rely on their Twitter audiences to promote their posts.

☆ See the 25-slide pitch deck a Baltimore biotech used to raise $56 million to develop a blood test that detects recurring cancer
  + stars: | 2022-11-16 | by ( Andrew Dunn | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
A Baltimore-based biotech startup has raised $56 million to develop a cancer blood test. Haystack Oncology has raised $56 million in a Series A round to continue development of its cancer blood test in 2023, the startup said Wednesday. The Baltimore-based biotech says it has a blood test that can find tiny, lingering traces of cancer in patients who've already had cancer and received treatment. Those cancerous cells shed small pieces of their DNA into the bloodstream, and Haystack's test detects those molecules. Haystack's blood test, called a liquid biopsy, can find signs of cancer that aren't detectable by imaging like CT scans.
☆ How Jason Goldberg went against investors' advice amid the crypto winter and raised $3 million for his Web3 development startup Airstack
  + stars: | 2022-10-21 | by ( April Joyner | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Cofounder and CEO Jason Goldberg launched Airstack during the depths of the crypto crash. He ignored advice to take the summer off and instead built a prototype, which caught VCs' attention. Jason Goldberg cofounded his Web3 development startup, Airstack, in May, just as crypto markets began to unravel. Airstack's technology essentially creates application programming interfaces, or APIs, for Web3 applications. It improves upon existing infrastructure such as The Graph by allowing developers to access real-time data from several Web3 applications at a time, Goldberg said.
