Frankly, I'm surprised MIT didn't find more backdoor ways to work around the Supreme Court ruling and effectively keep affirmative action in place

Whatever law established the Do Not Call registry really needs to be updated to include bans on text messages too
I’m getting multiple texts every day from candidates from both parties and it just makes me hate them all

There's nothing quite like the anticipation and excitement of diving into beta features and discovering all the ways they'll revolutionize your workflow
Nothing like trying to send an international wire to remind you that crypto UX is freaking amazing compared to the legacy banking system
9 times out of 10, the founder being a jerk to their competitors in public is insecure and knows they’re getting their ass kicked
Pointing out where your product is better is fair game, but it’s pretty obvious to most observers when legit competition crosses into sour grapes

Assume a faulty block was proven via an optimistic rollup’s fault proof system. What happens for all the other users that then take actions based on an invalid state? Does the chain just get reset to the block prior to the invalid tx?
Tradfi got T+1 settlement? It’s not single-slot finality, but not bad!
Wait, we’re not counting blocks?
T+1 minutes? No?
T+1 hours? Still no?
T+1 days?!

A potential solution to the low float / high FDV problem:
Let vesting/locked tokens be deposited as the quote (borrowable) asset in a lending market
This would effectively increase the float via short interest, enabling price discovery, without allowing insiders to sell sooner

Ethena bringing CEX funding rates onchain in tokenized form (sUSDe) is having massive ripple effects across DeFi
Right now, Maker, Aave, and others are reacting by raising their borrow costs and the native yield they pay holders
But we're about to enter Act II... 🧵

Half the people I talk to are insanely hyped (20%+ yield!) and half are understandably skeptical (20%+ yield?!)

As a Spearbit investor, customer, and teammate of multiple Spearbit security researchers, I'm not surprised at the quality of results here.
That said, number of engineer weeks on an audit is THE primary input to audit quality once you've selected a good firm.
