Has anyone already published a good summary / analysis on the leaked EU documents around Digital Euro and PSD3 / Open Finance ?

Apple’s unique take on VR is similar to how our brain works: the Vision Pro is not a transparent glass with overlaid icons, it’s an opaque display showing a composite of what the cameras captured and what the OS added. Like our brain generates an image based on data from the eyes

Machine translation is approximately approaching the proximity of pros, though probably with more aplomb that apropos

The advantage of reality over fiction is that it doesn’t have to bother being realistic. A 170km-long city crossing the desert ? Of course https://t.co/q6iXwbm0BT

@BedlamSA You're right, the bank card should have been https://t.co/QvNlHzCEXn branded (with Matt Damon as cardholder name for bonus points)

Saw this image on a consultant slide yesterday. I guess the Square dongle didn’t look futuristic enough so they added a QR code ?

@HamishHouston They forgot the contactless logo on the card though

Fact : Elon can’t spell (see his kids’ names)
Fact : He keeps trying to buy Twitter to introduce an edit feature
Isn’t that enough proof that it was all a misunderstanding when he said « get a doge » and « doges make you apy » ?

When people think of democracy in crypto, they think of:

• 1 token = 1 vote

Governance that can go back on a promise is equivalent to no governance at all.

No; democracy is not a structure by which to change the rules, it is a structure by which to uphold the rules.

@NathanVDH0x Could one of them please work on a Twitter replacement. We’ll be needing it soon

In 1994, Jeff Bezos famously spotted a stat that made him leave his high-paying PE job to start Amazon:

💡 The Internet was growing 2300% per year.

What are the generation-defining stats of today?

I'll post a few to kick things off...

[John van der Heyden @Jvdheyden]

As Einstein would say, if the “growth” paradigm created the problem, we need a “post-growth” one to solve it

I'm excited to announce that we have a new article in Nature Energy today. This is an important piece, and we agonized over every sentence. It's behind a paywall, but you can get a free PDF here, and a short thread follows: https://t.co/hJfgvBPHtj https://t.co/kjZ15UOXvc

I think it is reasonable to begin thinking about financial health, rather than financial services, as the central principle of regulation.

@dgwbirch I wonder what they will build with it. Especially in the context of the EPI discussion

If Turing’s name is to be attached to a currency, maybe a crypto would have been more appropriate

I haven’t seen a £50 note for years and wouldn’t have a clue whether one given to me was real or not. What are they for?
