Can anyone help us get in touch with @SnapshotLabs? The level of engagement (>5k) on our @GyroStable proposal seems to have just broken their vote counting. Seems Gyroscope is really stress testing DeFi infrastructure 😂 twitter.com/GyroStable/status/

Can I buy a senior tranche of these?

An artist:

(1) bought an Andy Warhol drawing for $20,000

(2) made 999 high-quality forgeries of it

(3) shuffled them together

(4) sold each of the 1,000 drawings for $250 each

"If you pay your $250 maybe you’ll get the original $20,000 Warhol, but you’ll never know."

Thank you, Lenevo, for this vital information! (NB there is no way to get any details)

Through a multi-step process, an individual took the records of at least three educators, decoded the HTML source code, and viewed the SSN of those specific educators.

We notified the Cole County prosecutor and the Highway Patrol’s Digital Forensic Unit will investigate.

But it’s important to remember that an innovative idea is only as good as its execution.

Curious what we have worked on? Check a sneak peak of our now implemented (!) work that is based around a set of primary and secondary markets:

Nature suggests I cite people based on gender. Isn't that kind of... the opposite... of where we want to go?

Not sure who is getting trolled here, but this is a thing of beauty! 😂😂

Thank you @sciam for publishing my article on the problematic nature of Star Wars and the term “Jedi”.

I am particularly grateful that I was allowed to use five pseudonyms, one for each of my genders.

Haha, nice! This one went to far!

Wondering, though, if you couldn't just refuse to use it. Like, students never agreed to it & it infringes on their basic rights. Uni shouldn't be allowed to do rectal searches either ("or else you can't take the exam bc who knows...")

This footage will still be played in 100 years. It now joins images of the retreat from Saigon and the naked Vietnamese girl as one of the west’s most shameful moments in modern history.
