If you were ever in need of more reference texts on Riemannian Geometry, why not get yourself Sakai and Petersen work on the subject?
If you can only get one, they're both excellent!
Selman Akbulut colorfully visual book on 4 Manifolds is still my favorite book on the subject.
This is a self learner treasure. I did recommend it a long while ago, and since there is so many new people around, I will recommend it again.
At all cost, you must get it!
Have yourself introduced to the beautiful mind of Mikhael 'Misha' Gromov, in 'Great circles of mysteries', a short book which cover his views of mathematics, the world and the mind.
On a quick aside, I love the fact that they used Misha on the cover😌
Moses Ilyich Schönfinkel, a logician/mathematician often forgotten about, who invented combinatory logic and came up with ''currying'' prior to Curry himself.
He died in poverty in 1942, his papers were used as heating material for his neighbors to survive the Moscow winter.
The kinds of applications that I want to see are applications that are (i) useful in a sustainable way, and (ii) don't sacrifice on the principles (permissionlessness, decentralization, etc)
I think DEXes are great, and I use them every week.
I think decentralized stablecoins (eg. RAI) are great.
I think polymarket is great.
I think USDC is less great than RAI, but as a practical matter we simply have to respect that it's incredibly convenient and lots of people use it. It's incredibly useful for me personally when doing international donations, way more convenient than banking. We are here to try to make the global economy and society more open and free, and people in emerging markets using stablecoins to freely transact is a real live use case that's happening everywhere. USDC on ethereum is also far better than account-to-account transfers inside centralized exchanges, which also happens a lot. If we get lots of people using USDC, that creates a situation where it becomes easier for people to move to other more decentralized stablecoins too.
Things that I *don't* respect, are basically things whose attractiveness comes from some temporary source that has no sustainability, eg. I felt no excitement toward the 2021-era liquidity farming craze, because it was obvious that it came from token issuances that are fundamentally temporary.
If people tell me "you can get good yield by parking your coins here", my question always is, "where does the yield come from?". Who are the people on the other side of the transaction, who are paying the yield? In those cases where there is a specific answer to the question, that there is a good reason to believe will remain true in 5 years, then I am absolutely excited about it.
telegram founder arrested in france and held responsible for other people using his messenger doing crimes. we have another tornado cash case on our hands. safe harbor laws don’t apply anymore? eu holding a ceo as hostage instead of going for actual criminals.

That's all it took for an attacker to gain access to plain text sensitive data and passport scans of over 50k of @Fractal_ID users
But sure let's blame the clumsy employee. Not the company whose lack of security practices allowed this to happen.
Shame on you fractal.
