Depends on your use case. First, AAVE is on ETH, and most arbitrage profits are on other chains. For example, there aren't a lot of flash loan providers on BSC (Binance Smart Chain) with deep liquidity, so everyone just uses flash sw

Flash loans are useful for both arbitrage and loan liquidations. Every swap on Uniswap and its many forks on many chains is actually a "flash swap" under the hood - you can take the coins out and use them before the code checks t

I characterize the organizations he creates as pragmatic. They exist to objectively look at problems and solve them. You cannot solve hard engineering problems in any other way.

Exactly this. Musk doesn't seem to have any patience for political nonsense - from either side of the political spectrum. The kinds of employees that would do this likely aren't a culture fit in a Musk-run operation, where pragm

The difference is that the pregnancy doesn’t affect the lives of all the people on Twitter. This guy was communicating with his clients, who had to respond to the news by working to prepare their albums for upload to iTunes. He had a perf

They couldn’t control January 6 either. Literally the only people charged with sedition - those who had a plan - were part of an extremist organization that coordinated in person.

War being threatened by a nuclear power like Russia carries with it the “catastrophic risk” of the end of the world, with billions of people dead. Even if one were to wholeheartedly believe that the hyperbole in your comment was an entirel

Agreed…the hypocrisy of these decisions grows increasingly outrageous each day. For example, the reasoning behind the banning of Donald Trump from Twitter was that his rhetoric was “dangerous,” in that it may have encouraged/not disco

It’s sad that youtube can choose what content to host? As I suspect you know, his point was that it’s sad that YouTube is making politically motivated censorship decisions, just like China would. While we all know that Silicon Valley lea

You can contribute mining power to a large network of miners and get a percentage of the profits. They are called mining pools. These exist for virtually all currencies. Here's a list for bitcoin: https://www.buybitcoinwo

Interesting take. I do think that social media is driving the selection of increasingly unfit political candidates worldwide, which is a big problem. In an environment where the objective is to share things that get the most “WTF” comment

The issue with depending on comments is that the next step is to disable them whenever the sentiment turns decidedly negative. Your use of the word "frightening" is an understatement in my opinion. Using the dislike button to add

Oh I don’t think anyone would know about the government being behind it. They could do it through front companies. The government already does all kinds of other activities through front companies.

If SCOTUS outlawed buying the data, they’d just find ways around that too. Maybe they’d just start creating apps and directly monitoring people. With an unlimited marketing and development budget, they could wind up on the majority of Ame

Given the rise of Loot and other text-based NFTs, you might want to NFTify this too. I know Loot does this by creating a URL with the text in it that points to a text image generator.

Yes, it’s worth noting that this town hall was also a CNN affair, and the only full video I was able to find was not posted by them. It’s on some other random channel. Someone at CNN and/or YouTube decided this was bury worthy.

https://youtu.be/R8R2545fHCo Oddly, it’s pretty well hidden in search, while other, older town halls came right up. I had to select a number of specific options in YouTube’s search just to find it.

I think you'd be pretty hard pressed to argue that the Hunter Biden stories weren't suppressed until after the election. Those stories and corresponding evidence were around before the election. They were completely buried where

It's only surprising in that they have, to this point, largely shrugged off criticism. Jenn Psaki, for example, has been extremely dismissive of any criticism whatsoever. Now, I think they are realizing that the (white)house is on fi

It's pretty obvious that they went out and found someone named Brandon to have a photo op with. This was an SEO play.

This is a fascinating tweet on many levels. 1) I think it's safe to assume that Joe Biden has no SEO expertise, which means that someone with the power to send the President of the United States out for a photo op does. They went out

That would probably be more acceptable than the way they are doing it now, at least in my view. If they had come out and said "we are pro Biden and used our platform to get him elected, and we have deleted this video because it insult

Casino owners and employees aren’t dumb Having met a few casino owners, and many more game supervisors actually charged with understanding the math of the games to avoid exploitation, I can tell you this is patently false.

The CDA as we know it definitely needs to be abolished. It was written long before Facebook and YouTube became the arbiters of truth for many people.

It's called censorship. It rarely ends well for society.

I wonder if they will ban videos about them banning this. This seems like a uniquely stupid hill to die on, regardless of how biased they are toward Biden.

I was actually considering something known to be a relatively weak pRNG....card shuffling in a casino setting.

Yeah, but that's 7 shuffles of a single deck. Most casinos use 6 or 8 decks. They are certainly not shuffling 42+ times.
