How much value is being extracted from DeFi, and by whom? 😈 We estimate that the extracted profit from sandwich attacks, liquidations and arbitrage over the past 2 years is 28.80M USD! 💸 https://t.co/rJ4nysEWzr Joint work with @KaihuaQIN @lzhou1110 #DeFi #DiveDeeper

Expect many more national bans on American tech companies in the weeks and months to come.

Market caps will crater when deprived of markets. And we will see a complete inversion as states gradually begin favoring crypto protocols over American companies. https://t.co/U2pOo4lLN7

3/There will be a huge victory and reward for the individuals who make distributed, open-standard versions of twitter, FB, YouTube, App Stores, and even cloud computing platforms like AWS.

The time is now.

Future generations will read history books about primitive societies in which the global supply of money was set at bi-weekly committee meetings.

We are trying to do our part by funding an initiative around an open decentralized standard for social media. Our goal is to be a client of that standard for the public conversation layer of the internet. We call it @bluesky: https://t.co/51or6OuNNv

Many colleagues today are far more successful than their grades back in school would have suggested. The curriculum for most of my 12 years demanded students memorize a lot and they were rewarded commensurately. This isn't just the US educational system.

So much of the US educational system measures your ability to memorize things and recall them within certain time period. This skill is almost never required or used in the real world unless you’re trying to become a contestant in Jeopardy.

The less scheduled you are, the more creative you’re going to be.

Everything that has happened in the past is happening again. History repeats. The wealth disparity that is occurring today is reminiscent of The Gilded Age (1870-1900).

[Péter Szilágyi @peter_szilagyi]

Remember the upstream #golang bug from 2 wooks ago that we said could take down the entire #Ethereum network? The same bug that could remotely crash SSH servers or code using RSA or x509 certs? A zero day in Go since forever?

Myeah... lemme present you the fix! 🤯🤪🤓🙃

[Nat Friedman @natfriedman]

We are taking a stand for developers and have reinstated the youtube-dl repo. Section 1201 of the DMCA is broken and needs to be fixed. Developers should have the freedom to tinker. That's how you get great tools like youtube-dl. https://t.co/k0sbsNN30u

@themathiasdahl I'd be curious to learn some of your responses to the questions (thanks for sharing, I took the survey)

[Edward Snowden @Snowden]

Seven years ago, as the news declared I was being charged as a criminal for speaking the truth, I never imagined that I would live to see our courts condemn the NSA's activities as unlawful and in the same ruling credit me for exposing them.

And yet that day has arrived.

[Dileban @dileban]

@themathiasdahl Ah, then I think this won't matter much.

[Dileban @dileban]

@themathiasdahl Sweet. Would like to know what you think. My theory.. maybe, just maybe, you'll throw out your config and start afresh less often :)

[Dileban @dileban]

@themathiasdahl Probably that it makes editing via org-mode a nicer experience. Grouping configurations into headings/sections helps with readability, especially if you want to share your configuration to others, including your future self. Net of it is just a personal preference.

[Dileban @dileban]

@themathiasdahl Hej Mathias! Yeah, Emacs has replaced most tools for me. Every other editor feels grossly inefficient to work with. I have been using 'use-package' for a while. So much cleaner. My https://t.co/PjKbz3Z79c in (literate programming style) is here: https://t.co/v6QbW1DnIt

[Dileban @dileban]

@themathiasdahl On a different note Perry Metzger thinks the core of Emacs should move to Rust. Also whole heatedly agree.

[Dileban @dileban]

@themathiasdahl Whole heatedly agree :) Many miss the point and beauty of Emacs.

@ArthurB @zooko @sunnya97 @DailyMail The problem with picking your own extension is knowing they are safe. The EFF on extension like ad blockers: "Several of these extensions have business models that we weren’t entirely comfortable with."
