I’d cancel your AG1 subscription. They just completed a clinical trial and the results show no clinical benefit.  This has been obvious for years.  AG1 has no real product substance and is fundamentally an influencer heist.   Two simple alternatives (75% and 56% less $),

The surprising deterioration in accounting standards apparent in the report released yesterday by the @SkyEcosystem Frontier Foundation reminded me strongly of the historical arc of the d’Medici banking empire. Students of Renaissance history probably know that Cosimo d’ Medici

I'm trying to figure out where to live next, and one big consideration is the climate. So naturally I made a tool that represents monthly average temperatures for cities as 3D rings so they can be compared more easily. Check it out: https://t.co/TlwJuywcjN

Great update. @santimentfeed's X-based social metrics will now contain that much less noise. We already filter out AI generated text, but of course fixing the problem at its root is more effective and takes some of the weight off us. RIP @KaitoAI yappers

interesting take

my grandmother was an educator, started a private school in Havana in the 50s and worked as the principal taught some English classes at night for adults as well so obviously Castro's goons took possession of the school after 1959 which to have your dream that you built from

Now that ZKEVMs are at alpha stage (production-quality performance, remaining work is safety) and PeerDAS is live on mainnet, it's time to talk more about what this combination means for Ethereum. These are not minor improvements; they are shifting Ethereum into being a

As a crypto CTO, I’m tired of seeing sloppy practices that cost millions. I came from the army, where mistakes cost lives. I brought that same discipline into crypto. If you manage user funds and you’re not doing what’s below, act now. These are the non-negotiables 👇

I think the Aave dust up exposed it as a DAO dominated by its founder. But it’s still a DAO, with debate and multiple power centers. Contrast with Sky moving >$60m out of the treasury into a pair of entities in August, neither of which answers to tokenholders. Was crickets.

I believe you should always re-read your favorite books at different stages of your life. The plot never changes but your perspective does.

Major cheat code in life: Master the graceful exit. From conversations. From parties. From opportunities. “This has been wonderful, but I need to go.” No elaborate excuses. No fake emergencies. Just clear kind departure. Most people don’t know how to leave. They stay too long or

> tldr of the whole aave drama > aave > build one of the biggest defi protocols ever > generate real recurring revenue through cycles > create a dao > dao owns the smart contracts > dao controls risk, markets, upgrades > dao treasury captures protocol revenue > keep a private

Watching the Aave Labs vs Aave DAO conflict, my (outside) take is these are two groups acting in good faith but with very mismatched expectations and it will be complex to sort that out. Now contrast that with all the DAOs where it’s just expected the DAO is a patsy who paid for

many such examples

Stanley Kubrick gave an interview to Playboy Magazine after the release of 2001: A Space Odyssey. They asked him about chess, knowing that as a young man he spent countless hours in Washington Square Park playing compulsively - from noon to midnight. Here is what Kubrick said:

if someone doesn’t get what you said, that’s not on them. that’s on *you*. you didn’t build the bridge cleanly enough. you left gaps in the scaffolding. you expected a leap where you should’ve laid a path. a storyteller’s job isn’t to be right.. it’s to be received. if the

Fusaka is live on Ethereum mainnet! - PeerDAS now unlocks 8x data throughput for rollups - UX improvements via the R1 curve & pre-confirmatons - Prep for scaling the L1 with gas limit increase & more Community members will continue to monitor for issues over the next 24 hrs.

Aave vote to no longer accept USDS as collateral and increase Reserve Factor to 25% appears to be a sure thing with 99.6% voting in favor and 8 hours left. Notable reputational blow for Maker/Sky. I wonder if DAI will follow, since DAI and USDS have the same backing.
