Understanding blockchain technical scaling with <20 min videos (a thread) 🤔
0/ If you're having lunch/dinner/on the 🚽, here are some short vids to break down blockchain scaling from the best that you can bookmark.

Some of these vids are highly unappreciated, with ~100 views. Also good at 1.5x speed.
1/ First, a 20-min clear explanation of what the "scalability" challenge actually is by @thatBano:

Plenty of exciting stuff in crypto in Asia goes overlooked in the US.

Here are some updates this week from #Asia in #crypto amidst a bear market:
From the Philippines 🇵🇭:

SEC is looking to define all tokens as securities by default. Earlier, it also deemed crypto cloud mining contracts as securities. This increases false positives (non-securities deemed as securities).

Source: sec.gov.ph/wp-content/upl…
From Hong Kong 🇭🇰:

A bike-sharing startup has sold its majority stake in exchange for crypto. It will use its tokens to reward renters and promote bike usage. Convincing HK users to use bikes AND set up crypto wallets...hmm 🤔

Using in-browser wallets (e.g. @metamask_io) may compromise your privacy significantly. /0
Advertisers can profile you as an eth user, and sites on all opened tabs can detect when you unlock your wallet and provide phishing prompt.

Here's a detailed post from @backus of @Bloom a while back on the subject: blog.hellobloom.io/using-an-in-br… /1
So, what can we do?

Using a different browser than your main one for eth transactions through an in-browser wallet (or using another browser profile) is a viable workaround. /2

All models are wrong, sure, but how wrong? Check out my BBS commentary (goo.gl/TBf1H7) to the target piece by @DobyRahnev and @rndenison (goo.gl/mZPYRh). I argue that the self-consistency of modeled decisions should be considered a relevant metric. 1/15
Relative model comparison is most often used to identify a better model across a limited set of candidates. But how good, in an absolute sense, are the models being tested? The upper bound on model evidence is usually unknown, making this burning question hard to answer. 2/15
The ‘bias-variance trade-off’ of an estimator in statistics offers a useful metaphor for the problem above. Errors of an estimator, like an altimeter on a plane, can be described as a mix of systematic deviations from target (bias) and imprecise measurements (variance). 3/15

#DECLASSIFIED. Wilson’s Labour govt of the late 1960s covertly supplied massive quantities of arms to help the Iraq regime slaughter Kurds, as village after village was being destroyed. An episode written out of history. goo.gl/cGnKxc
#DECLASSIFIED. UK files/articles on Egypt highlight the illegality of the 1956 invasion, secret collusion with Israel, lying in parliament, collusion with Muslim Brotherhood, and attempts to ‘get rid’ of Nasser. goo.gl/piJPo5
#DECLASSIFIED. Several UK declassified files from 1956 on ‘getting rid’ of Nasser, overthrowing the Syrian govt, preserving control of oil and ensuring the Arab world remains divided – longstanding major UK interests goo.gl/81Kf2C

#Ethereum miners are starting to realize the value of their $ETH doesn't come from transactions. 1/
2/ In fact, including everything into the current state and/or archival blockchain, increases miners' cost.

The connection they might have made is all the dapps and other silly stuff isn't where the value comes from, the value comes from marketing.
3/ The success of ethereum's marketing is only partly correlated w/ the number of transactions. There needs to be enough volume to support the narrative, but not too much to make it extremely hard to stay synced.

This extremely weird Michael Cohen interview has an audience of one

It's a final warning shot to Trump

goo.gl/by5Y1n
The big reveal, which ABC got from a "source," is that Cohen will be ending his joint defense agreement with Trump. That's the same thing Flynn did right before he flipped.
More details on the importance of the Cohen interview: goo.gl/ABVnn9

Next up: No. 2 ranked Amebelodon fricki vs. no. 7 ranked Homo floresiensis!!! #2018MMM
In the first round Amebelodon sent Deinogalerix koenigswald flying through the air, while Homo floresiensis outwitted the tiny Palaeoloxodon #2018MMM
Amebelodon is a member of the Gomphotheriidae family, a group of extinct elephant-like mammals. Whether all the species currently placed in the amebelodon genus are descended from a common ancestor (e.g., are monophyletic) or not is a topic of some debate #2018MMM
