Short commentary on interesting tweets. I highlight notable crypto updates, discuss NFT takes from Paul Graham or compare market reactions to Elon Musk’s tweets, often adding my own perspective.
Today Gnosis Chain activated the Dencun upgrade before Ethereum. I run a validator on Gnosis and POAP tokens are also issued on Gnosis. Gnosis vision of a multi-chain Ethereum ecosystem makes sense to me.
The Dencun upgrade has been activated on the @gnosischain mainnet!

Totally agree with Paul Graham’s take on NFTs.
NFTs can be used for so many different things that you're inviting history to make a fool of you if you dismiss them. Even if I were sure that most current uses of NFTs were bogus, I'd never dare to say that all possible uses were.

Love this framing around time.

It seems completely predictable that Elon Musk and Larry Ellison would represent over 50% of all the divorces amongst the 10 richest men.

Last night as we were getting ready to go to sleep I noticed that a helicopter had been circling overhead for a while. It was circling large swaths around Highway 62 and France Ave, just a few blocks from our house. Tammy found out via NextDoor what as up, and we quickly heard what turned out to be a mugging attempt that turned into a shooting at Fairview Southdale. We later learned the victim survived despite a gunshot to the head, but the suspect fled on foot and was “at large”. The helicopter was searching. The police asked everyone to leave their exterior lights on which we did. They didn’t catch the suspect, and still haven’t.

Sounds great, and I’m having fun trying to virtually follow #KubeCon. Maybe next year I can join the fun!
Packed house listening to AuthN and AuthZ from the @Yelp team sharing their ServiceMesh security story. This is a great talk to think through security requirements you’re trying to solve for with your mesh. I recommend the video! #KubeCon pic.twitter.com/O09hKm80G2
