So because USDC = $1 is hardcoded inside Maker, the price gap of DAI<>USD will be the same as USD<>USDC even though only 30% of the collateral is USDC because it’s free to arb the difference by putting USDC inside it and printing DAI as if USDC = $1.

"TikTok is, at the moment, the most monkeys at the most typewriters you’re going to find on one platform. And it’s scaring everyone. But it shouldn’t! And if Spotify can’t just be Spotify, a stable, growing, incredibly profitable hub for a very specific kind of user interaction with music, with audio, then, truly, what is the point? Put another way: Why even try and build different platforms at all if they’re all just going to become video apps?" https://open.substack.com/pub/garbageday/p/an-infinite-amount-of-monkeys-at?r=22hu3&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

Hi, we're the .NET Community Team at Microsoft. We help run the blog, live streams, events like .NET Conf, and lots more.
We ❤️ the .NET developer community! We're happy to be here to share news, answer your questions, and... toot? It's called a toot, seriously? I guess toot, then.
Thank you to @styx31 & team for setting up and running this amazing community instance.
I think I have figured out how to fix the issue where bird.makeup accounts get dropped from lists on mastodon ( https://todo.sr.ht/~cloutier/bird.makeup/5 )
Can you all try using lists again to check if my change actually fixed it?

In Node.js v18 we removed an old-time fix that reordered the DNS results to put IPv4 addresses before IPv6. As IPv6 gets widespread usage, this is the right call to do.
This has exposed so many broken IPv6 networks. What can you do if you on one?
$ node --dns-result-order=ipv4first

If a person says they want to see Mastodon scale to support 100 million users, a lot of Mastodon users will jump on that person's neck. 🤷🏿♂️ They'll be accused of having "VC brain", or being obsessed with hyper growth.
It's not about hyper growth for growth's sake. If you truly believe that Twitter is bad(tm) and Mastodon is good(tm), and that people should leave Twitter, then where exactly do you think those people should go? There's hundreds of millions of them.

i'm so sorry for being that guy but i can't overstate how reminiscent current twitter is of Portal 2 when the entire facility starts to break down because wheatley got so insecure about being called a moron he starts cobbling together abominations that don't work out of spite

Maybe I'll be able to do QT as literal quotes with the rich text support that's coming to Mastodon. Interesting!

Time for a “CopyLeft AI Data License” - if this data is used to train an AI model, then the model must open its source code and its weights.
Thinking of moving servers to https://hachyderm.io ...
Although I'm generally pro-crypto even if I don't talk about it much here, and I wonder if it's going to get me banned if I move there
