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 I'll be very interested to see whether other elite universities show similar results with this year's incoming class

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?! Yeah, clearly no use cases for blockchains…

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 Thoughts?

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... 🧵

Ok, it's finally time: Ethena's USDe has hit mainnet! http://app.ethena.fi/join/agsrl Half the people I talk to are insanely hyped (20%+ yield!) and half are understandably skeptical (20%+ yield?!) I think this deserves some explanation 🧵
