@ryancarson What is this take... Yeah great idea to have people with no idea about the tech to be shipping code to production... Like why do you need an HR person to generate a code in the first place?
Today is a hard day. I shared this note with the @linear team today: We’ve made the difficult decision to increase our workforce. This is not a cost-cutting exercise or a reflection of anyone’s performance. We’re simply reimagining every role for the agentic AI era. We’re hiring. We’re sorry about that.
Palantir just published a 22-point manifesto on "freedom", "democracy", and the future of the West.
The same company that profits from aggregating your health records, tax data, and location history to build targeting profiles.
This is what privacy by policy, not by design, ultimately enables. Read the manifesto knowing who wrote it.
the kelp rsETH post-mortem is wild
lazarus (dprk) compromised two rpc nodes that layerzero dvn was relying on. swapped the op-geth binaries. wrote a custom payload that forged messages *only when the dvn queried* - every other IP, including monitoring, saw clean truthful data.
then they DDoS'd the healthy RPCs to force failover onto the poisoned ones. drained $290M. self-destructed the malicious binaries to erase tracks.
they targeted rsETH because kelp ran a 1-of-1 DVN config with layerzero as sole verifier
During the Biden term we had:
- nft bull in 2021
- Shiba and Doge parabolic runs
- Pepe and eth meme szn in 2023
- Bonk wave on Solana in 2023
- Memes super cycle in 2024
- Bad actors going to jail
- Degen led Base szn in 2024
- AI agents szns on Base and Solana in 2024
During the current Trump term we got:
- mass extraction by president, his family and friends
- denominated USD, so btc/eth in fact never made ATH
- bad actors go OUT of jail and new ones never go there (why is Hayden Adams still free????)
- tariffs dump
- war dump
- 6mo in a row of straight dumps
- alts down 99.9%
- memes dead
- defi dead
- nfts dead
So who is the crypto president you say?
