Agreed, the newest movie in particular was borderline unwatchable.

It was entirely technobabble and metaphysical nonsense with no character development.

You’re dammed right I’m angry, stupidity and double standards like this are why nearly a million people have died in this country.

Whether you choose to vaccinate your kids or not is your right. Just don’t expect others to “tolerate” your decision. Vaccines are required in public schools for a reason.

Regardless, your original post was about masks and how you felt they were somehow damaging your kids, which is bullshit.

Then as an educator you are doing your students a disservice and allowing your personal bias to impact their future.

Children are a vector for spreading the virus, this really isn’t complicated.

The psychological “trauma” of wearing a mask is nothing compared to what these kids will feel when they give grandma covid over Christmas.

It’s not about them.

Teaching has to be the worst job in America right now.

Uniswap, ApeSwap, PancakeSwap, SushiSwap, AAVE, Compound, Relay, and many many more.

Check out dappradar for a more exhaustive list of the literal thousands of decentralized finance projects that are currently live.

You can interact with any of these directly from the contract interface itself.

Why is it that the most asinine crypto projects get upvoted on this forum while actual behemoths like AAVE, UniSwap, Compound etc don't get discussed at all?

I get that you guys like being an anti-crypto echo chamber, but you are really doing yourself a disservice and frankly embarrassing yourselves.

ESOP and fundraising for startups are such good fits for cryptocurrency that few acknowledge.

Having to trust your employer to treat you ethically when the time comes is such a terrible bet. I've been fucked on more than one occasion during acquisitions, since then I do not accept ESOP at all.

Conversely I have been doing a lot of consulting on web3 projects lately and it is such a breath of fresh air to have actual transparency and liquidity of my compensation.

its been over a decade now.

would like to point out that HN was also saying BTC was over valued at $1k.

Didn't listen to you guys then, not going to now either.

If you made even a passing attempt at understanding this space you would see how wrong you are.

Anyone can interact with a contract directly, you don't need any FE or BE at all.

I can't speak to the specifics of dydx since I am not a user and haven't done my due diligence on them, but with every other dex I have ever interacted with it is entirely possible to use their service entirely from the contract interface.

Its usually the first thing I do to ensure that I can access my funds without any external dependencies.

I agree that play-to-earn is still very early, but there are several projects in the space making significant progress towards making it a reality.

I view investing in these projects no differently than my TSLA positions. Over hyped for sure, but the potential upside is massive and I am unwilling to sit on the sidelines.

Right now I am active in a few communities and it’s been a lot of fun watching these games evolve on a near weekly basis. I relate it to Kickstarter but you actually own a part of the company.

Pretty bold claim with 0 evidence.

These comments brought to you by the community that dismissed Bitcoin while it was still trading at sub $1k.

You could create a viable investment strategy based around doing the opposite of what HN thinks and you would do extremely well.

Some useful tips in here, but to be honest a better bash is to just install python and use that for scripting instead.

Would like to second Rabby, been trialing it for about a month now and I love it.

This is why anyone who is serious in this space uses a hardware wallet.

I preach this in every forum I am active in, but if you are messing with more than play money you absolutely need a hardware wallet.

You don’t even need the front end, you can interact with the contract directly.

It’s sad what happened to these users, but they did sign the contract giving the hackers permission to access wallet funds.

This is a failure of opsec.

This is a stupid generalization and straw man.

If this is your argument then just stick to your 401k and fuck off.

It was on Aave polygon.

There are no repayment terms per say, just interest charged on the loaned amount.

Aave has variable interest on stables that varies between 7-4% and they offer an incentive bonus of about 3% MATIC, making the effective rate 1-4%.

My loan to value rate is around 35%, which gives me a very healthy liquidation buffer in case the market gets even more volatile.

My collateral is mostly BTC and ETH, with smaller holding of MATIC and AVAX.

It’s a really nice system, I get to keep my crypto holdings and extract real world value. Paying 1% interest on a loan backed by assets that are appreciating 100% a year feels really good.

As an additional safety precaution I wrote a smart contract to liquidate some of my other positions if I am ever at risk of being liquidated by Aave to avoid the liquidation penalty.

They never would have been able to access my funds in the first place if this was on a blockchain.

Your argument amounts to the same as relying on the police to return your car after it has been stolen and then declaring that as security.

This is a great example.

Flash loans, arb bots, fully autonomous companies interacting via smart contracts.

Its really pretty fascinating.

Transactions on most L2 chains these days are less than a penny.

There are dozens of popular mobile wallets that make viewing, sending, receiving coins / nfts trivial.

The problem that it solves is that there is no need for you imaginary ledger company to exist at all in a blockchain model, the winery cuts out a rent seeking service and the user gets a more secure and portable product.

Automation isn't just going to hit manual labor, blockchain and web3 will allow for the emergence of fully autonomous "companies" that operate via smart contracts.

Dollars via aave

Nope, it uses my crypto as collateral and operates outside the credit system.

I have been the victim of chargeback fraud and major banking errors that resulted in major losses that took months to recover.

Irreversibly transferring funds and having complete ownership of them once they are in your possession is a huge feature.

Yeah much better to have it attached to phone number that can be sim swapped, biometric data that can be easily stolen, centralized user accounts, and my favorite national identity that you have no control over at all.

I haven’t even seen a check in decades.

It’s incredible to me that you think a piece of paper and human contact is secure.

Daily, it’s literally the easiest way to send large amounts of money in existence.

I agree.

Recently purchased a home with a loan from aave polygon and it was pretty painless.

This is a gross simplification and really trivializes the struggle of people not privileged enough to work in our industry.
