It seems LedgerStore is not open source [1], and finding any info on it requires following a trail of backlinked Uber blog posts. Here's one with the most info on LedgerStore that I can find, from 2021: https://www.uber.com

How would you raise capital for operations separately from LPs? What's the upside of that for any investor? Do they get part of fund returns? Nobody is giving any kind of fund any money unless they get part of the fund returns for i

This is interesting. Two brothers figured out an exploit of the mevboost software run by most Ethereum validators. They used it to frontrun the frontrunners (mevbots) and trick them into buying $25 million in unspendable cryptocurrencies

Three a day seems like overkill. I think if you brush at least twice a day, then one xylitol gum at night after brushing is probably sufficient. Kills the bacteria that grew during the day and kills bacteria that try to grow in your mouth

At the end he gives two ways running Monte Carlo simulations, spreadsheet plugins, and his own app Casual. Surely there are more. Are there other tools for Monte Carlo sims that HN'ers use and like? Preferably local FOSS apps?
