Real World Asset Financing as being explored by Centrifuge and MakerDAO is pretty interesting. Tapping into the yields and capital availability of DeFi to provide rates for trade financing (Harbor Trade), Revenue Based Financing (Fortunafi)

Also, Facebook and other big tech companies are way less likely to get hacked thanks to more established data handling practices. Breaches still occasionally happen, but you're more likely to see data breaches from these data broker co

As other people point out, a lot of the efforts seem a little half assed - rebranded marketing materials or simply boring. I'm working on a simulator platform that leverages dapps built on Ethereum on a testnet to teach various financi

I think this is an incredibly cynical and awful take. The sushi community is really vibrant, to the point where they backed off from the whole phantom troupe proposal because of pushback. Also, not sure where money laundering and the cartel

If Duckduckgo wants to stay principled, it should stand next to Google and defend the open internet. They shouldn't claim to be principled and then take a cheap shot at Google by bowing down to Murdoch. Yes, I get that they're a b

My reaction - so what? Facebook has been heavily investing resources into the metaverse for a while - building up various experiences, snapping up game studios, even Occulus itself! They just haven't bothered calling it a metaverse unt

Difficulty bomb ensures that forking is incredibly difficult. The code change to defeat the code change is easy to make (just delete a section of code) but you have to distribute clients that ship with the difficulty bomb removed on top of

My take is that Facebook is being a lot more realistic about this than Neurallink is. Nothing wrong with being lofty, but with the money and manpower that FB has put behind BCI, versus the talent flight from Neurallink – FB will likely be t

Nitpick, I have a great deal for respect for Derek but he isn't a journalist (and nor does he claim to be). It's just a column. But that's not to say the reactions from journalists weren't critical. Adam from Stat had so

Novo Nordisk's recently approved Wegovy works pretty well for your latter use case, and they're undergoing clinical trials for oral medication (it's currently administered via IV). iirc, the side effect profile was pretty mil

Well a plus is that if it's done in solidity, people can just fork existing stuff on ethereum and push it on to Solana, with the exception of Uniswap and a few others that have explicitly disallowed it in their licenses

Here ye, here ye. It's just the direction things will go towards, and I know most other people will feel uncomfortable(and so do I) but I think it'll be something that could be changed by changing societal expectations. An analogy

Okay, but Biogen has 9 years to do the confirmatory study and they've indicated that they'll take their sweet, sweet, time with it. Also, it's not like we have 0 evidence: we have two, 4-5 year long studies that show how well

I spoke to someone in intelligence and apparently for a while, France spied quite a bit on the US. Spying on allies is not as uncommon or taboo as most others would think it is.

Agree to an extent, but people are throwing it around in the context of vaccine passports and other state actions that are pretty reasonable. Frankly the tossing around of 1984 has degraded discourse because its used way too much and often

I think that Facebook with their acquisition of Ctrl labs are further ahead than most people think I’in HCI and might even be ahead of neurallink, especially as Facebook has significantly more money behind their effort.
