0/ Over the last 12 months, it's become increasingly clear that @VitalikButerin has been pushing for more and more activity to happen on layer 2 rather than layer 1.
1/ While I think this makes a ton of sense in the long run, it may very well create *tons* of short term problems
2/ Which shard am i in?
What plasma chain? What's withdrawal time?
......... Wait, I have an NFT, and I can't pay 10 basis to get that out of plasma faster because it's not fungible?
What are all the plasma chains?

etc
3/ It's pretty clear that all of these are solve-able problems, but I am seriously concerned that any such system will become more un-usable than usable as it fragments, until all of the user-facing tool matures to abstract all of the complexity

Anyone care to weigh in here?
BTW, here's the link that inspired this storm

@tim_cook can Apple add more colors to iMessage digital touch drawings? It's one of my favorite features in iOS but lack of color options limits my expressivity
The color picker on screenshot mock up is great. It should also be in digital touch drawings
Was watching the Alabama game and there is no good color for drawing a football. My friend thought it was a sweet potato until I added the laces

.@willwarren89 let's say that relayers start sharing liquidity, but that some relayer(s) fork the 0x contract for whatever reason.

Is there any reason why the relayer who chose not to fork can't still share liquidity? If it's in her best interest, she should
1/ I don't see why should would not share post-fork if she did pre-fork? If she was before, and chooses not to now, she's choosing to shoot herself in the foot
2/ Perhaps it requires a bit more extra-protocol comms between relayers, but that seems like a manage-able problem

Also, I guess user signing message would be weird, but I'm pretty sure that can be abstracted (e.g. user signs two messages for conflicting formats in one action)

0/ Perhaps the biggest problem of governance tokens is that governance becomes more expensive as the token price increases

This is actually a *huge* problem
1/ Let's say you're running a relayer on the 0x network, and you accumulate 3% of ZRX while the price is below $.20

Over time, ZRX becomes successful and becomes worth $1.5, and that the volume of 0x-based trades has increased 7.5x as well
2/ Let's also say that during that time, your relayer doubles trade volume.

Unfortunately, that means your market share is down 3.75x in that same time

But you're still holding 3% of the ZRX tokens. What do you? Selling becomes very rational.

Great achievements in CNN chyrons, 2018 edition. A thread.

A couple of these I snapped myself. Most of them I stole from Twitter over the last year and have no idea who to credit. For that I apologize. 1/
This guy is the "Must Be Aliens" meme except for people who think their tweets about Eisenhower and the 25th amendment are real life. 2/
In this chyron, CNN cites CNN as source for news that Trump refuses "to claim any personal responsibility" for lunatic serial bomber. 3/

This is the essence of the book's sadism. They know that these people were taught to be race-blind on pain of ostracism, and that they were taught that by people like themselves.

"We trained them wrong on purpose, as a joke," except the joke is now generational
To understand the leftist you must understand power and prestige, as they aren't guided by fairness but power. The power + privilege mantra speaks to this. The paragraph belies that they can be ignored unless they have a way to force you to listen to them.
"Pushing back is not natural"

Again, understand this paragraph through the lens of power and their obsession with white fragility becomes clear. This is agitation that these white people, these kulaks, have not yet become the greengrocers of Vaclav Havel's Power of the Powerless

when i was 12 i just did not expect the "jet fuel can't melt steel beams" crowd to actually become the dominant american political perspective, and it's not like things weren't plenty fucked even then
i'm still just reeling that the country is being ransacked and destroyed and set on fire by moon landing deniers and flat earthers and every other type of weakbrained fuck face who has zero capacity for accepting anything on its face
I cannot believe they won. I cannot believe that facts mean absolutely nothing, that video footage means nothing, that sworn testimony from dozens of people with decades old political track records means nothing. The enormity of it is impossible to accept.

Pakistani students will be marching for their rights in over a dozen cities in Pakistan today. Here is why they are right to be angry & why it is essential that the whole country listens to their demands. Thread. #StudentsSolidarityMarch
Let’s start w/ some honesty: Pakistani students have it pretty bad. Pakistan boasts one of the worst education systems in the world, a rot that runs all the way from primary to higher education levels, with no meaningful reform attempts by any government. #StudentsSolidarityMarch
Our dubious education records include the world’s 2nd highest number of out-of-school children (22.8m), one of the highest school dropout rates (50% of all primary school students), & one of the lowest female literacy rates (48%) in the world.

Except you don't have the consciousness to do that- only what you've, perhaps, been programmed to register, process, or maybe transmit/emit. Here in #Ireland on the other hand there are 💚s everywhere hoping to #repealthe8th #LISTENUP #Focus on #Caring #Now to ensure #legislation
