A Google engineer was charged with making $1.2M on Polymarket using confidential "Year in Search" data. We pulled his complete on-chain trading record — and the insider edge is sitting in public for anyone who can read it.

Economy Performance by President: Testing Claude's New Interactive Charts Anthropic just launched a new beta feature in Claude — interactive charts and diagrams. Instead of static images or markdown tables, Claude can now generate fully functional, self-contained HTML dashboards with real interactivity. Tabs, tooltips, responsive layouts, dark mode — the works. I figured the best way to test it was to throw a real question at it: how have the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and federal deficit changed across every U.S. presidency in my lifetime? One prompt.
