Anyone thinking about L2s for banking/payments that could accept off-chain fraud proofs? Like, proof-of-fraud in the way a CC will revert fraudulent txns? Maybe a way to do self-custody with training wheels.
Killing some bottles 🥃
Re: Polymarket
How is it thought to be the most accurate polling on the US election if the US is geoblocked? Seems like a skewed sample?

Incredible release from 2020, one of only 896 bottles 🥃
Remote work is either a super power, or a liability. Need to be honest about which it is for your company.

When you find an obscure int overflow big in the C code of a major OSS project, then you wake up & your team already fixed it & got the PR merged.
Good devs debug all the way to the wasm compiler.

Found these chrome finger sweatbands, I think I got them when chrome first launched
In 2017 I did a private barrel pick. Literally Eddie Russell pulling straight from barrels, no fancy tasting “experience”. Finishing a bottle of it tonight 🥃
Getting ready to move, gotta ship the bourbon 🥃

There are only like 10k ETH nodes, so this means farcaster is more decentralized than ethereum
Does anyone enjoy the “flashback” episode every show seems to do in season 2?
This would be a killer feature if there’s a permissionless bypass — please DO pause my transfers if a flag is raised. But let me turn it off with another auth factor on my own.
Tbh quite cool I can put my US atm card in an atm at a random bank in Europe and get cash instantly, including the forex.
Less cool is the 10% markup they add.

Did you know that OAuth 1.0 required signed requests to get and use access tokens. A stolen token was useless w/out the user's PK they sign with.
OAuth 2.0 "upgraded" to bearer tokens, removing the extra security. The token holder can use it, no questions asked.
