-Ensign Peak fire
-Memory Grove fire
-Bonneville Trail fire
All caused by homeless vagrants living illegally in public spaces.
75% of Utah's fires are caused by Utah government refusing jail or institutionalize these people for the many crimes they commit on a regular basis.
UBS and Nethermind have completed two joint proofs of concept showing that a public, permissionless network can support the compliance and operational needs of regulated financial institutions.
The PoCs show that banks and asset managers can apply strong compliance controls through the infrastructure they run on top of Ethereum, without changing how the protocol itself works.
We built and tested a node that applies customizable compliance rules to outgoing transactions, and a routing component that sends approved bundles directly to selected block builders. Both validated end-to-end on Sepolia, no live transactions.
This is what enterprise-grade blockchain infrastructure built on deep protocol expertise looks like in practice.
We plan to build on this work with @UBS.

I think what gets misunderstood about wealth inequality is that there will be some kind of revolution.
That very rarely happens and I don't think it's a risk for the US.
What's far more likely is that massive wealth creation produces a surplus of elites, and the relative "have not" elites wage war on the "haves."
Whichever side you adhere to, the effects are pretty devastating for society.
Think this is the best way to read the Liz Warren vs Elon Musk saga playing out right now.
Elon just sued German state TV for extreme lies.
He and his very good German attorney scored a quick win and are continuing.
Suing evil and lying politicians and government institutions that abuse their citizens is a service to humanity.
Sue them all, Elon.
Happy 1st day of Summer and longest day of the year in terms of daylight hours. Enjoy it now because starting tomorrow we gradually start losing daylight! 🌞
Honestly, racism is one of those things many Japanese people struggle to understand.
If we see a white person, we think, "Oh, they're white."
If we see a black person, we think, "Oh, they're black."
If there were blue people, we'd probably think, "Oh, they're blue."
And that's about as far as it goes.
If someone is nice, we think they're nice.
If someone is an asshole, we think they're an asshole.
If we like them, we like them.
If we don't, we don't.
We grow up being told not to cause trouble, not to fight, and to get along with the people around us.
Maybe that's why judging someone by their race feels so foreign to a lot of Japanese people.
We're usually too busy judging people by whether they're good people or not.
Someone who founded PayPal, built a car company and sends rockets into space becoming a trillionaire isn’t weird. Public servants making $174k becoming millionaires is.
Change my mind.
Do I understand correctly that it’s theoretically possible for the United States to play England in the World Cup on our 250th July 4th Independence Day celebration… and the game would be in PHILADELPHIA??? 🤯🇺🇸
HOW do we make this happen??
The Iran vs New Zealand game is almost full in Los Angeles for the World Cup. In no fucking country you’d have over 60-70k people for a game like this lmao. FIFA should just make the World Cup in the U.S. a permanent thing
One of the most incredible aspects of the World Cup in the United States is what we DIDN’T have to do to prepare for it.
Qatar built multiple brand new stadiums, a metro system, roads, hotels, and entire districts.
South Africa built new stadiums, parking, etc.
Brazil spent billions on stadium and transit projects.
Russia built and rebuilt venues across the country.
Meanwhile, the U.S. was like: “We’re good.”
Like, we modified the playing surface in some stadiums and that was it.
The sport venue infrastructure in the US mogs every other country on earth and it’s not even close.
