Excited to see Facebook’s blockchain project go public! The only error in the @recode post is not mentioning the incredible Morgan @beller who’s been involved since Day 0. /cc @davidmarcus @kevinweil

2/ Facebook has already succeeded at helping the world communicate. The next big mission is to reimagine how everyone on the planet exchanges value. Few companies have the daily reach to pull it off and I trust they’re being thoughtful about true decentralization.
3/ And as we see sovereign digital fiats rise over the next decade, maybe projects like this will actually help us all. If nothing else, it will drive healthy competition, from which we all benefit. More thoughts on this in my recent post here:

Good morning! Day 1 of my trudging through the Russian ad dump is below.

Day 2 coming soon. But first, some observations of what I've read so far:
1. As we knew, the content sought to divide Americans on religious, racial, sexual & other social lines
2. A lot of the ads are positive and *not* divisive, seeking to build community before increasingly large asks (sharing, commenting, showing up to protests IRL)
3. In terms of "sophistication," the IRA was often very clumsy with their English & with targeting. Could they have been more effective? Undoubtedly. Did their efforts nonetheless have an impact? Absolutely. Their posts - many with a significant organic reach - reached millions.

Just saw the @ReadyPlayerOne movie and want to know how it stacks up against the reality of virtual reality? This thread that breaks down what RP1 gets right, not-quite-right, and flat-out wrong about the future of #VR, immersion, & the metaverse.
We’ll also examine the tech #ReadyPlayerOne left out altogether. After all, the film is set in 2045, and given the exponential rate of technological advancement, 27 years will likely yield some dramatic changes in society.
There are a few articles that have pointed out some of the basics, but having worked in the industry for 4+ years, I want to paint a fuller picture of our impending reality, with RP1 as the jumping-off point.

In a malicious manner, @Comcast did TCP reset attacks on their own customers. Third party telecommunications packet sequences were intercepted, then tampered with. After intercepting third party data, Comcast forged packets, then injected said forged packets into the
original data sequence. Their injected packet was an automatic TCP reset packet. It was injected at the beginning of third-party packet sequences. After injected the @Comcast packet was then analyzed by Comcast's customer’s firewalls.
Said injected @Comcast packets were then the sole reason why Comcast provided firewalls denied other following lawful third party packet sequences. RST reset packets instantly kill the TCP connection. So as soon as their customers received the first COMCAST INJECTED
