There’s a lot of talk about price in crypto but it’s a lagging indicator. The best leading indicators are technology development. Here are 5 advancements in 2018 that I was particularly excited by. 1/

#1 Bulletproofs in Monero. When Monero adopted RingCT to hide transaction amounts, larger transaction sizes resulted due to range proofs, which prove that the amounts are non-negative. Bulletproofs reduce transaction size (and fees) by 80%! https://ww.getmonero.org/2017/12/07/Monero-Compatible-Bulletproofs.html 2/

#3 The Lightning Network is live on Bitcoin mainnet. It has over 3,300 nodes with active channels and nearly $2M in capacity. The network links together IOUs across parties, creating a metaphorical bar tab where users transact and settle up later. https://medium.com/@jcliff/the-lightning-network-cf836329626b?source=friends_link 4/

Real answer to this: back when I was interviewing with Ubisoft and the recruiter had asked me I was a "three seas" designer and I had no idea what she meant and just flubbed around it She said 3C's and it's an Ubisoft-specific term that's very useful. Basically means game feel.

3C's stands for Character, Camera, and Controls, which are extremely important in action games. I came from Insomniac which on hindsight is hugely 3C's focused (think: traversal and combat) but just doesn't use that terminology at all.

Now I find the phrase so useful I wish it were an industry standard term (though I gather former Ubisoft employees have been pollinating other studios with it over time)

One of my big papers last semester was on the history of neighborhood associations in #Charlottesville, and how their use of zoning laws was an extension of the other exclusionary practices they used to keep their neighborhoods wealthy and white.

I am going to create a very long thread highlighting most of what I found. The details in this are obviously very geographically specific, but it is safe to say that the practices and attitudes underlying it can be found all over the country and in the histories of other cities.

This was supposed to be a map-based racial landscape argument, and towards the end I have several maps and images to show the effects of zoning over time in black and white neighborhoods, because it was a lot of work and it looks cool, haha.

So I have some news. After 14 amazing years at Penn, I'm moving to a unique new gig at Georgetown. Starting this semester, I'll be the McDevitt Chair of Computer Science and Law, where I'll focus on interdisciplinary research and teaching that bridges CS and law/public policy.

I'm really excited about this opportunity - it was truly an offer a couldn't refuse (in a good way) to continue and grow what I think is a vitally and increasingly important intersection of two fields that need to get to know each other better.

Anyway, now I'm officially a fake law professor.

Life hack: Sometimes when you need something extra from a business, asking them nicely and treating them with respect goes a lonnnnng way.

I mean, you should always treat customer service with respect. Even in situations where you might be really frustrated/angry, you're always better erring on the side of civility and respect because the person answering the phone/email likely isn't responsible for the issue.

Anyway, the real point of my post is, don't be afraid to ask businesses for things! A lot of companies want to go that extra mile to make you happy and keep your business.

One of the biggest scams in crypto is the number of people that call non-scams, scams.

“Scam” is so overused in crypto that it’s lost all meaning & confuses the broader public, to the detriment of *all* cryptoassets.

Scam = a *dishonest* scheme. Just because something appears naive or foolish in retrospect, does not mean the original intent was dishonest.

Four years ago on new years eve, I set out to build for myself a robust habit of habit engineering. Looking back, doing this has been very transformative for me. A thread 👇

1/ I was originally inspired by Benjamin Franklin’s autobiography. He used to keep a sort of spreadsheet with a row for each day of the week and a column for each habit he was working on. In each cell he would mark whether or not he succeeded for that day/habit.

2/ Over the years, my version of Franklin's spreadsheet has evolved into a kind of personal "life operating system" that I call walrOS. It looks like this:

Ok here's the thing, EU citizens in the UK were promised to continue their lives "as before". But settled status is a lesser status & we need to apply, qualify & pay for it. If you don't care about us, think about this: can you still trust the Govt with your own rights?

P.S. These guys had no idea what they were talking about in 2016, did they?

I did not expect this to be shared so many times! While you're here and interested in this subject, why not follow and support @The3Million, @BritishInEurope and @eucitizenschamp who are working hard to hold both UK and EU stakeholders to account on #citizensrights? Thank you.

1/ People often ask me why I’m so “against” Ethereum. Why do I go out of my way to point out flaws or make analogies that put it in a bad light?

2/ First, ETH’s architecture & culture is _opposite_ that of Bitcoin, and yet claims to offer same solutions: decentralization, immutability, SoV, asset issuance, smart contracts, … Second, ETH is considered a crypto ‘blue chip’, thus colors perception of uninformed newcomers.

6/ Despite strong optimism that on-chain scaling of Ethereum was around the corner (just another engineering job), this promise hasn’t been delivered on to date.

The US had a great deal going from 1953 to 1979 with the Shah of Iran.For 25yrs Iran was a cornerstone of the US usurping the British Empire in the Middle East, following WWII.Iran was a base for projecting US power in the region,and strategically it bordered the Soviet Union.

During the early 20th century the British Empire had full control of Iran’s oil industry,and was paying Iran a flat fee for every barrel of oil it extracted.A rough calculation of Iran’s royalties is between 8% to 16% of the profits,but Iran was never allowed to look at the books

Prior to the CIA-led 1953 overthrow of the democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh, Iran demanded 50% of the profits and control of their oil industry.

Morning thought. 1) While the #crypto rally is great, it's not healthy when the #4 token by size ($BCH) is a complete joke and rallies 150% in 3 days. Institutional adoption doesn't happen when large-caps trade like penny stocks.

2) That said, let's look at the US Equity markets. $TSLA has a $55 bn market cap and traded up 44% while the rest of the FANG stocks (and $QQQ in general) traded DOWN 25%. That's equally embarrassing, indicative of major hedge fund hotel leveraged unwinds, and not healthy.

3) Bottom line - Crypto enthusiasts can be (and should be) excited about crypto for its potential, but let's be realistic about why adoption isn't there yet. Similarly, traditional investors should recognize that equities and other asset classes aren't exactly "squeaky clean".

A list of terrible ideas for the @0xProject / @coinlist hackathon, a thread: 👇👇👇👇👇 https://t.co/dCDpa0

A crypto phishing site that steals your ETH but gives you a nice commemorative digital artwork in exchange, which unlocks a tokenized-access forum where you can commiserate with the other victims and swap artworks on @0xProject.

A "which ethereum block are you" buzzfeed personality quiz where your final result is a unique token that matches you to a block based on your token holdings.

here it is scrolling. goals: ❄ be aesthetically pleasing & readable ❄ focus attention on headline + body copy. ❄ use padding to delimit areas, rather than background colors / borders.
