If you *only* used SAT to admit to elite colleges, share of admits from top 1% income falls 15.8% → 9.9% and representation from <$200k rises by +8.8%, with no reduction in post-college outcomes.

It's 'holistic review' and 'ban SAT' policy that allows the most wealthy and powerful to virtue signal while getting an edge.

In order for U.S. companies to continue funding mega-projects like Stargate, rates will need to remain low. We'll see more inflation, and inequality as the value of 'real assets' skyrocket w.r.t. cash.

[nat @natrhmy]

An overlooked way in which AI will contribute to an increase in inequality is the pressure for governments to develop AI faster than their rivals to ensure national security.

crypto has become a reputable way to monetize political power. this benefit should be distributed to the whole, not for the individual.

the social code for what qualifies as corruption needs to evolve.

@polymutex @ZephyrExchange We're close to shipping client-side proof generation which will make this process much more private!

[nat @natrhmy]

@polymutex @ZephyrExchange It uses the Gmail SDK. We also support other modes of uploading an email (i.e. forward as attachment, uploading the raw email).

An underappreciated aspect of permissionless stablecoin onramps is their power to serve as economic equalizers.

For citizens in inflation-prone countries like Argentina, this tech democratizes access to dollars, eliminating the premium on physical currency.

Super excited to launch Zephyr publicly today. This is the culmination of a lot of tinkering and it will be great to build out proofs for other payment methods in the upcoming months.

[Zephyr @ZephyrExchange]

1/ Today, @NotebookLabs is excited to introduce Zephyr: the first fully decentralized and non-custodial fiat-to-crypto on and off-ramp. 🧵

[Nocturne @nocturne_xyz]

1/ For crypto to reach its next stage of growth, it must be used less for speculation and become more like money. We believe privacy is a necessary condition for this to occur.

@nocturne_xyz we’re excited to introduce a new primitive to the Ethereum ecosystem—private accounts 🧵
