It seems pretty clear the exponential price action last year was all based on hype surrounding GME rumours, there was no actual substance to it therefore the price isn't holding up. The market cap to TVL ratio is still high at 4.5 so I don't see this downtrend ending anytime soon without any new catalysts. If you compare this to another hyped coin like CRO, which saw a meteoretic rise and who's price has stabilized since then (especially if you look at the CRO/BTC pair), you can see that LRC is nowhere near a bottom. I could easily see Loopring dropping below $1 again, assuming no significant BTC movements happen.

And yet, all I see on this sub is more threads shilling the coin and doses of hopium about the long term potential? Nobody is seriously discussing price action over the last two months which is a huge concern to me. I'm not arguing that Loopring is a dead project, far from it, but the short term price prospects are very meagre. Everyone should decide what to do for themselves i.e. risk management, but I don't see any value in bagholding it when there's no end in sight for the downwards trend.

Don't get me wrong, I see huge potential in ZK roll ups and in particular LRC for the next five years eventhough I don't own it myself. In fact, I'm looking for this downtrend to end so I can buy it when it eventually consolidates. Since Loopring is by far the most shilled coin on this sub , I feel bad for the ones that FOMO'd in after the price rise in early November. These people are seeing their gains evaporate like snow in the sun or are suffering big losses. Maybe an announcement by Gamestop at the end of this month or during the next earnings call will stop this downtrend, but I don't see it stopping anytime soon before that.

EDIT: To anyone commenting that price doesn't matter, well it does. Let me put it this way, if LRC is $1.35 and you feel like it will move below $1 in the short term: you should absolutely sell because you can increase your holdings for the long term with 35%

EDIT 2: Obviously DCA'ing is also an option when the price drops, I would wait until the price stabilizes though

EDIT 3: Since I received the suicide care message from Reddit and multiple threats in my inbox, I will no longer interact with this thread. What a shame that people can't behave.

Hi everyone,

Let’s start with this very very interesting tweet tread that basically ties the RRP (reverse repo) to the change from Libor to SOFR. After the funny meme summarize.

To meme summarize:

Central banks and SHF: And we took these BONDS that are backed by LOANS that are backed by HOMES and use them as backing for NEW LOANS to make NEW BONDS and then repeat, what can possibly go wrong?

Everybody else: So how does that exactly benefits us? 0.

—————

RRP TIES WITH LIBOR TO SOFR

Let’s start learning.

The changes from LIBOR to SOFR has been one of my biggest catalyst from when THE CHAOS THEORY was created and the crazy melon guide to the moon (months ago).

Please read this tweet before continuing reading.

https://twitter.com/thelastbearsta1/status/1471925082532499465?s=21 🌟🌟🌟 value info dont skip

This tweet provides clear information on how central banks and Libor manipulators are using the RRP to get “good” short term collateral, at the same time that causes a manipulation on the 3mo/ 1yr/ 2yr/ 3yr UST yields.

The FED and banks are twisting the yield curves. Might be the new way to manipulate SOFR since the new interest rates are calculated with those yields and not self calculated.

In my honest opinion, they been using RRP to prepare for what’s coming, this is so dangerous and the minimum error can cause a massive collapse of the entire system.

————————-

Why is this a big deal?

THIS IS THE MOTHER OF ALL BAGS OF SHIT. We are talking about amounts bigger than the economy itself.

A massive portion of the derivatives market (it’s on the quadrillions now), is attached and linked to all the banks loans, tons of bets and debt with leverage that is basically bigger than economy itself, so, AFFECTS EVERYONE in this earth directly or indirectly, the magnitude need to be understood.

Check for yourself, this is the list of bag holder and how much shit:

I am getting increasingly worried about the amount of warning signals that are flashing red for hyperinflation- I believe the process has already begun, as I will lay out in this paper. The first stages of hyperinflation begin slowly, and as this is an exponential process, most people will not grasp the true extent of it until it is too late. I know I’m going to gloss over a lot of stuff going over this, sorry about this but I need to fit it all into four posts without giving everyone a 400 page treatise on macro-economics to read. Counter-DDs and opinions welcome. This is going to be a lot longer than a normal DD, but I promise the pay-off is worth it, knowing the history is key to understanding where we are today.

SERIES (Parts 1-4) TL/DR: We are at the end of a MASSIVE debt supercycle. This 80-100 year pattern always ends in one of two scenarios- default/restructuring (deflation a la Great Depression) or inflation (hyperinflation in severe cases (a la Weimar Republic). The United States has been abusing it’s privilege as the World Reserve Currency holder to enforce its political and economic hegemony onto the Third World, specifically by creating massive artificial demand for treasuries/US Dollars, allowing the US to borrow extraordinary amounts of money at extremely low rates for decades, creating a Sword of Damocles that hangs over the global financial system.

The massive debt loads have been transferred worldwide, and sovereigns are starting to call our bluff. Governments papered over the 2008 financial crisis with debt, but never fixed the underlying issues, ensuring that the crisis would return, but with greater ferocity next time. Systemic risk (from derivatives) within the US financial system has built up to the point that collapse is all but inevitable, and the Federal Reserve has demonstrated it will do whatever it takes to defend legacy finance (banks, broker/dealers, etc) and government solvency, even at the expense of everything else (The US Dollar).

I’ll break this down into four parts. ALL of this is interconnected, so please read these in order:

Part One: The Global Monetary System- “A New Rome” <

[Part Two: Derivatives, Systemic Risk, & Nitroglycerin- “The Ouroboros” < ](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/o727oc/the_dollar_endgame_part

Why would I want to spend several turns to build Levy Administration or a Fish Monger, which only gives a measly +3 money, when a Market Quarter is cheaper and has higher yield potential.

A Fishery only gives +3 on the harbor tile, while a well-placed Farmers Quarter can have much higher yield.

Are these infrastructures incidentally useful? Is the idea that they don't lower Stability for a slight increase? I never build these and only research the techs to get further in the tree.

u/LakersBench posed a pretty good question a few days ago asking what differences needed to be made to adapt QS batteries into the needs of a grid level storage role since EV batteries and grid storage batteries have different requirements. Grid level batteries need much higher cycle life in the order of thousands and high thermal stability. Gravimetric density isnt as important as volumetric .

QS batteries are good, but are they the right fit with tweaks for storage solutions? Originally, I disliked the idea because i thought it would take away resources from the primary goal of EVs, but after some reading and seeing the limited amount of battery players vying for such a role, as well as the TAM, it's too good of an opportunity to miss.

Now lets look at QS' current EV grade prototype cells. They cycle at room temp, 1C, 3.4ATM and up to 1000 cycles before reaching "end of life" of ~80% capacity. A 10MWH up to several GWH storage battery would need to operate at every temperature, from -20C (sorry scandinavia and siberia noone's making a battery for your -50C winters) to the summer sun heat of 30-40C, at varying levels of charge rates as 123whatrwe pointed out, but generally in the 1C-C/10 range, pressure we'll get to, and cycle life needs to be nearly an order of magnitude larger a minimum of several thousand cycles up to 10 thousand cycles, given daily or semi-daily charge and discharge (so a 20 year service life).

A pretty steep increase in a key metric, cycle life. Some research into the longer lived research cells published in nature that are made of a similar ceramic reveals that those labs managed to reach the low thousands of cycles at extremely high rates of charge. The caveat being those cells were under 200 megapascals of pressure or about 2000 ATM of pressure.

Now here's where some speculation and extrapolation comes into play for the viability of QS cells (at least from my lay view, since I'm sure the Fluence and AES experts know much better). Given their pretty stellar performance under harsh automotive conditions, several tweaks in physical conditions could be made relatively easily to adapt QS cells to a storage role. A decrease in charge rate, from 1C to even C/3 would result in a significant gain in cycle life, at least 20-30% since 1C charge rates are quite stressful on the materials. Even lower charge rates would give exponential, yet diminishing returns in cycle life; ie C/5 might g

Greetings fellow autists.

I’ve been meaning to give back to this community from which I’ve benefitted a lot since its founding, and decided to do a write-up on the modern EV Battery and Grid Storage sectors. I also wanted to do one for Magnis Energy Technology’s projects (MNS) and where it strategically fits in this high growth but very complex sector, so I combined the two DDs into what you have here.

While I do hold MNS stocks, and I WILL address the current Murdoch media/Twitter/HC campaign against MNS, this post will first and foremost be to help understand the global EV Battery sector and related sub-industries/downstream markets.

Then using this as a framework, I’ll share my own DD on MNS, their projects/holdings, and whether it is a good or risky investment choice within the sector & in the current ASX/media climate. Anything I couldn't fit in 40k characters will go into a FAQ comment.

But tl;dr for those just wanting a quick answer, I am holding firm, with a SP target of ~$2.15 by June 2022 depending on MANY factors.

1 - Lithium Ion Batteries 101

Batteries are a way of storing electrical energy that can be collected at any point in time, then discharged for consumption at any other point in time, and due to its relative technological maturity and long lifespan, the overwhelming majority of passenger electric vehicles (PEVs) made in commercial quantities today use Lithium-ion Batteries as their energy solution.

1.1 How does a lithium-ion battery work?

A modern Lithium-ion Battery (or LiB), co-invented in the 1970s by Nobel Laureates Professor M. Stanley Whittingham, John Goodenough, and Akira Yoshino, is made up of 5 key aspects: the Cathode, Anode, Electrolyte, Separator and a Cell form factor. The way these batteries discharges or recharges electrical energy is by transferring electrically charged atoms (the ions) between the cathode material and the anode material through the electrolyte medium. The lithium part of LiBs sits in the anode.

See diagram below for high level illustration.

A little introduction is needed. I initially posted this story on an Italian forum under the topic “the stupidest DM you ever had”, but a friend of mine asked me to post here in RPG horror stories. First things first, I should apologize in advance for my bad English, as this is the first time I write such a lengthy text in foreign language so please excuse any error in syntax or grammar. And speaking about lengthy, buckle your seats because this is a long story. Like, so long that I had to divide in chapters (no kidding, we’re talking 1 hour long or more read).

The reason for such wordiness is because this was not wrote straight away, but rather in small fragments along the months of this delirious campaign. So here is it, the almost word-by-word translation from the original post:

After my umpteenth attempt to play a D&D campaign, gone dead because the usual absentee players, I was able to find a group of players in my city thanks to some unforeseen miracle. And by “miracle” I mean a divine intervention, from an unnamed deity who decided to relentlessly punish me in this earthly realm. I do not believe in reincarnation, but if that’s actually true after enduring this campaign I will reborn in a well-hung billionaire. With wings.

By getting in touch, I learn this is a Pathfinder group who came to be from the union of other players who, just like me, had to deal with various desaparecidos that constantly defect sessions out of the blue. Thinking back about it, I can safely say the frequency and the punctuality of the group, both players and DM, was a huge step forward for me. It was the ONLY step forward for me. But let’s go in order.

I would have liked a D&D 3.5 campaign, but they played Pathfinder (1° edition); not a problem, I already knew most of the rules/differences because in my many years of DMing I considered switching game system, and I also allowed in one of my campaign one of my players to use a Gunslinger in the 3.5. The DM, however, warned me there would be few modifications to the core rules, along with homebrewing, banning and restrictions to avoid any possibility to break the game. In my hearing that, I was already growing the aforementioned pair of wings…

You see, the campaign was set in our world, around 1850 in England, but magic exists. Creatures like demons, werewolves and vampires are seen as legendary being, and if they really existed in the past they are now long extinct; the magic is also considered stuff of legends,

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

This week at Bungie, we’re talking weapons.

This is it, the last TWAB of the Season. It’s been a blast watching Guardians splice their way through the Vex network, tackle Vault of Glass, and pile up a ton of new rewards during Season of the Splicer. We have jam packed a lot of Destiny moments since Beyond Light debuted last fall. As we prepare to look forward next week, let's take a look back at some of the most epic of Destiny moments.

We are less than a week away from the big reveal showcase. No spoilers but we have a tune-in page set up and will be streaming on both Twitch and YouTube on August 24. Seven years of Destiny have led to this moment. Join us to learn more about a new adventure unlike any you’ve encountered before. The pre-show is starting at 8AM Pacific and the showcase itself will kick off at 9AM Pacific. Come find out if you can survive the truth.

YearnNFT Finance is an NFT marketplace launched on Binance Smart Chain back in September. Our absolute goal is to build an NFT marketplace offering the best user experience and platform for anyone, anywhere.

As the era comes to understand the potential of NFTs and the proper amount of creative value that NFTs hold, it’s crucial to develop and deploy a platform for anyone to affordably forge and sell their artwork.

We desire to fulfil our modest goal to outreach hundreds of real artists and creative collectors. By the mid of December, we will try to gather 5000 YFNFT holders and major visiting users.

We plan to grow much quicker than initially planned, thanks to the ease of project use and our high-level of stability. We are now able to jump a few planned hurdles to acquire the first spot of the marketplace, specifically on the BSC network which is amongst the top 5 networks.

Do you wish to know what YearnNFT plans to introduce in the upcoming time period? Check out our past achievements and come to witness our vision for the future.

Achievement Till Date

October 2021

• Website launch
• Whitepaper Launch
• Airdrop Commencement

Despite being new in this NFT marketplace, we have successfully reserved a secure place experiencing exponential early growth. The team behind the YearnNFT project decides to consolidate and try to bring ahead some plans of major goals and objectives looking at our current position.

Here are some next step goals that will help us way ahead of any sort of competition in becoming the go-to platform in the NFT industry.

Objectives

NFT Marketplace

We believe to build a future for artists and digital creators who want to own their NFT marketplace to bind straight with their audience. To achieve this we intend to build an easily customizable and the most advanced NFT marketplace as a service project.

We will allow artists to spin exclusive marketplaces within a few minutes with everything sorted out and ready to be used. The services include payments, cross-chain, bidding, investment, royalties, auctions, etc.

NFT Fundraising

We have carefully observed while building YearnNFT Finance the power of proficiency and desire of the community to assist new upcoming artists. Hence, we will offer a way for the YearnNFT community to support and yield early capital for new upco

TLDR: PYPL 3/18 calls, any strike between 200-230

I'm not going to go into the background of PayPal and what not, I'm simply going to explain my view of the current landscape regarding the stock and where I think it's going in the next two months, as well as my play. PYPL's massive slide began when the rumor that it was considering a buyout of PINS was debunked on October 20. The selling continued until its earnings report on 9/8. In that report, they beat on EPS but missed slightly on revenue. They issued full year guidance that was lower than expected, citing supply chain issues and spending habit changes as the economy reopens. This spooked investors further, and the sell off continued. A widespread sell-off in fintech began, and, in my opinion, is about exhausted.

There are a couple recent bullish points about PYPL. The first, and most important, is the partnership with Amazon. Starting sometime early this year, you can use Venmo to pay at Amazon. This is huge for PayPal, and the reasons why can be found here. PayPal also saw a 400% increase in their buy now, pay later option during November's Black Friday. The company did 750,000 transactions alone on Black Friday, $1 billion in processing volume during the month of November, and added 1 million first-time users during the month for the first time ever(source). All of these metrics will be included in their earnings report on 2/2, which I think will be a beat. Finally, they confirmed today that they will be launching their own stable corn(source). I don't really know much or care about corn, but there was a slight pop in the stock price Friday after market on the news so it may help give the stock a little momentum once we know more about it. To me, it shows an overall continued push into the space, which is obviously growing exponentially and will be a significant future source of revenue.

Now to the technicals. The stock is down about 40% from its high of 310. It has been range bound between 180-195 since November 22. This is significant because 180 was a key support level from August-O

Edit: the number formatting is off for some reason, I don't post on Reddit often so not sure how to fix it.. Sorry ladies!

I process my emotions through writing and began creating this list as a reminder to myself as to why I left my last relationship. This post is long because I used very specific examples from my last relationship for each point. Just wanted to share in hopes this could help others too!

1. You can't love yourself and him at the same time. I couldn't choose to love myself over my ex because he demanded every ounce of attention and adoration I could muster up. So I loved him instead, and gave many pieces of myself away in the process.

2. You give exponentially more than you recieve. I felt guilty for feeling really resentful of my ex the last few months we were together. I couldn't put my finger on the why until recently. It's because I gave up so much, while he gained so much from our relationship. I quit nursing school, left my home, cut off family members and friends who didn't like him, moved to a completely different city, quit my job, and lost my sanity to such a degree that I thought I was the abuser.

In return he got financial stability (I paid all his bills for a good chunk of time), help getting off drugs, help repairing his broken family relationships, a phone and a laptop I paid for, a car, any sexual act he desired, a safe home, unlimited emotional labor, his court fees paid for (the only reason he avoided jail time), someone to make appointments for him, a live-in maid (me).. the list could go on.

3. You feel worse and worse as the relationship continues. One of the last straws for me was feeling extremely suicidal. This was highly upsetting to me because my sister killed herself 2 years ago. My parents are very damaged from that and have explicitly made me promise I'd never do what she did. I never thought I'd feel suicidal after seeing all the damage her death caused. But abusers have a way of getting in by any means necessary.

4. Quick, forced intimacy. The first day I met my ex, he told me he loved me. Within a week or so he wanted to hear the entire story surrounding my sister's death so he could "help" me. I was very vulnerable at that point because it had only been 6 months. So I made the mistake of explaining all of that trauma to him. And his response is something I'll never forget. "Well she wanted to die, and she did. So why are you upset that she got what she wanted?" HUGE red flag- it exposed his c

Do your worst!

Defi 3.0 projects are handling the downturn in the market extremely well. Many are way up as BTC has been taking a dive. It seems that people are realizing that there are more safe havens for their investments than just parking money in stable coins. I have put some BNB to work in Moonrock on the BSC which has seen pumps this last week as BNB has gone the opposite direction. I know there are other good Defi projects and am generally supportive of them all however I look for undervalued companies in a sector and this one stand out above the rest.
Overall it seems the Defi 3.0 sector is going to be a big mover this year. Hopefully the overall market can stabilize and allow for this sector to rise exponentially in a bull market. The time to move some of your holdings to a Defi project is now! Looking forward this sector is revolutionizing the way people will invest and allow for amazing growth opportunities for us all!

So as the winter approaches and temperatures drop, it’s naturally time to start tweaking our systems. For us X299 users, this essentially translates to “finally… stability”.

Since I know there’s a few X299 users that still trawl this sub, I’m going to post a collection of things I’ve implemented to make my 7980XE system fully stable even at room temperature (Georgia days are still about high 70s, even low 80s sometimes). Maybe you’ll learn something new, or maybe you’ll have some insight for me. All feedback is welcome!

Core tuning:

• Core voltage should not exceed 1.35V on a beefy custom loop, 1.25 with a standard affair AiO
• Cold helps with voltage reductions, but Skylake-X (and by extension, Cascade Lake-X) generally doesn’t care about voltages when it’s hot either. I’ve had the same level of stability at 4.8 all core @ 1.30V whether it’s 80C load or 105C load. They’re naturally leaky chips anyways.
• Pumping VRIN won’t necessarily help you and may actually hinder you. For 4.8 all core on my X299X Aorus Master, I only need 1.87V input @ LLC medium.
• Cinebench or RealBench H.264 is probably peak thermal and phantom throttle benching for this platform. I don’t know why, but these benchmarks hit IVR-equipped systems pretty brutally.
• AVX-512 OCCT large is good enough to detect most, if not all, issues with your overclock. AVX-512 instructions will fail 10x quicker on an error than any AVX2 instruction will while being an actually realistic test to use for SKL-X/CSL-X. Use this test (and the standard -5 AVX-512 offset) to find holes faster.

Mesh tuning:

• If you have to pump VCCIO voltage up when you’re tuning memory, you don’t have enough mesh voltage. By pumping in another 0.02-0.03V into mesh, I was able to drop VCCIO from 1.23V to 1.135V while still retaining my 8x8GB 4000 15-17-16-30 OC with slammed subs. Mind you, this is at 3.2GHz mesh as well.
• Max dailyable mesh voltage should be considered 1.2V with an adequate custom loop, 1.1 on an AiO
• VCCIO can help stabilize higher mesh frequencies, to a degree. Don’t bring this voltage any higher than 1.25V for daily use, and the closer you can get to 1.15V the better off you’ll be.
• Mesh won’t affect most rendering workloads, but in gaming there is a night and day difference between stock mesh and 3.1/3.2GHz mesh. This is well documented online.
• Mesh tuning will cause an exponential rise in power draw due to how the cache system works, so plan accordingly. Be thankful they

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

I'm trying to understand the stability of the Luenberger observer for time-variant systems. I found this paper but got blocked by a paywall after the first page.

I understand that for the time-invariant case we can formulate the system as

e(n+1) = (A - L*C)e(n), where e(n) = x(n) - xhat(n)

and prove the stability by choosing the gain L such that the poles of the dynamic matrix are in the left-half plane. However, I'm less familiar with time-variant systems and not sure of the condition for stability when

e(n+1) = (A(n) - L*C(n))e(n).

I also read this post that shows that there is a condition for the Lyapunov stability of time-invariant systems, namely

eig(A(n) + A(n)^(T)) < 0

but I read that this condition doesn't imply asymptotic convergence. I'd like some help in understanding what the difference is in these implications and how this fits into the context of the Luenberger observer.

Jumper Spreadsheet

Jumper: Sordahon
Jump: How to Train your Dragon
Origin: Dragon
Race: Dragon
Starting Location: Berk
Points: 1600

+100 CP - 100 BP to CP transfer.

Dragon Powers:

Natural Weapons Free - Fangs - Fangs, claws, horns, tail spikes that can be thrown with longbow accuracy bone-ridges these are only as damaging and durable as your biology permits, though a dragon’s body is several times better than a normal man, but can be handy if you are disarmed. You may take this additional times to create more natural weapons for you to use.

Biome Specific Free - Storm - Some dragons are more well adapted to certain things. Each dragon can choose to have a series of biome specific secondary powers (Eg. Cavern Dragons might have tunneling at their land speed as well as some moderate echolocation and a volcanic dragon could be able to bathe in lava and dehydrate very slowly) The suite of abilities isn’t very powerful on its own but allows of the dragon to survive and thrive in locations and under conditions that other dragons would not be able to. This can be bought a maximum of four times after the first free purchase.

‘Fire’ Breath Free + 200 CP - You have a form of breath weapon, usually fire but anything from flammable gas to pressurized steam, but you’re able to use it to devastate your foes, too bad about that whole only one shot thing. Thankfully additional purchases of this perk net you a doubling of your number of shots per day.

Flight Free - To take to the air is a true treat and your wings aren’t no function so you can take it. This perk may be taken up to two additional times after the first to increase speed and maneuverability. With two purchases you’ll match a night fury in speed but not in stability. With three you’ll still only be as fast as a Night Fury, but you’ll be as maneuverable as a hummingbird.

Elemental Attack 200x2 CP - Lightning Breath/Lightning Cloak - You are able to, through some miracle of biology, create an effect like an electric blast, flame covering your form at the drop of a hat, or even poison. You’re basic

Tired of reading this criticism all over the place. Also tired of seeing the number of "validators" quoted as 100 when its actually 1350 and counting. Any statement saying that Algorand is in any way shape or form centralised is totally false.

And more importantly, it's one of the few blockchains that is built to become even more decentralised as time goes on. Anyone can participate in concensus, it's cheap to do so, will not get more expensive (unlike ETH and BTC) and the number of nodes doing so is growing linearly.

Further, don't even get me started on the relay nodes nonsense. Firstly these do not participate in concensus, only in communication, and so the 100 or so that are currently running are more than enough to guarantee the stability and speed of the network. And secondly, there is a pilot program up and running to ultimately make relay nodes permissionless. Adding more relay nodes at this stage would do nothing in effect. The only reason we need permissionless nodes is to guarantee the long term future of the network. The short to medium term is already secured.

And lastly, let's look at governance. Yes, it's true that Algorand Inc held around 25% of the tokens that participated in governance IIRC (no surprises there), but not all of those tokens voted the same way, and the end result of the vote was pretty close. Governance is very transparent and sticks to the PPoS philosophy completely. Certainly no other big blockchain has such a democratic system for making decisions about the blockchain's future. The share of tokens is becoming more spread out as time goes on, exponentially so in fact as can be seen on algoexplorer... Having the tokens more spread out at this early stage would be unfeasable, and so I feel that is a very unfair stick to hit Algorand with...

Algorand is fully decentralised already and will only get more so going forward.

I know it is much more preferable to stay at home and do whatever you want, but if you want any hope of in-person classes, the best thing to do is be at Davis. It is much easier to stabilize the situation with a bigger population so we can contain the outbreak so we can bounce back faster. Davis is a smaller town and has a very sustainable community so it is a much more safe environment than a big city or hometown where most of the population is not vaccinated. If more people continue to travel and leave, we are going to continuously see more strains and exponential growths in cases. Do not complain about online classes if you are not willing to be a part of the solution.

i often find myself swinging between optimism and pessimism when it comes to politics and getting burned out easily. to address this, I'm trying to find stability in a few facts.

1. not every strike we pull off on may 1 week result in demands being met. it's obviously a long struggle to some of the bigger changes (think political reforms and wealth redistribution, though i have hope about cancelling student debt.)

2. however, the organizing that we do now, the iww memberships and training, the sense of positive inertia, the new unions that are established, all of that is exponential. all of the groundwork we do now is building our organizing and negotiating power now and going forward.

anyway, thanks for helping mobilize me guys. i haven't really been able to go out and do organizing since the first summer of the pandemic until this sub came along

With the help of u/Robert_Larsson suggestions, I've made a list with some of the most relevant researchers of this syndrome in the last 5-10 years (as of December, 2021).

Any suggestions are welcome, but it's better if we stick to researchers which still have either a long career ahead of them, or consolidated teams that will succeed them and continue their work.

Once we have a definite list, it would be a good idea to get in touch with these teams and find out how patients (those who want & are financially stable) can donate money for their research through a secure channel - please remember these guys are the closest in the world to finding out the actual causes of IBS.

Without further ado, this is the list, organized by research topics:

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

UNDERSTANDING AND TREATING VISCERAL PAIN

&nbsp;

Visceral pain is the main feature of IBS, so basically all researchers in this list are investigating it, one way or another. However, some explore it more indirectly (looking at the immune system, microbiota, dietary treatments...) and others not only do that but also focus on the central/enteric nervous system itself, the ultimate source of visceral pain, trying to develop new therapeutic targets and treatment compounds as they go. I created a specific category for them, since their research is difficult to encapsulate in "just" one category, and their work does have an additional focus on the neurological dysfunctions that shape IBS pain.

&nbsp;

• Stuart Brierley, Flinders University, Australia/ In a groundbreaking study, his team discovered the existence of pruritogenic receptors (receptors usually found in the skin, able to mediate pain/itch sensation) in the human gut back in 2019, and also described how these receptors were "sensitized" in IBS patients. They have made some sound findings in IBS, and are also studying spider venom as a possible source for a synthetic pain relieving drug. Definitely one of the strongest IBS research teams in the world. "Our group investigates the underlying causes of chronic visceral pain, and the development of new treatments. Using state of the art molecular, anatomical and functional approaches allows us to study mechanisms from the single cell through to in vivo and clinical studies".

If you have never heard about EverGrow Coin then you may want to read the articles below. This coin is going to disrupt the market with its amazing reflections strategy. You don't want to miss out on this opportunity still get in early!

News Articles: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/evergrow-coin-fastest-growing-cryptocurrency-074900461.html

https://www.investing.com/news/cryptocurrency-news/the-next-shiba-inu-evergrow-coin-is-changing-the-very-face-of-crypto-space-2667688

Website: https://evergrowcoin.com

Chart: https://poocoin.app/tokens/0xc001bbe2b87079294c63ece98bdd0a88d761434e

This coin is a game changer!!! It has had exponential growth already but has so much room to grow too. This can be the next SHIBU. It has a great Team behind it with sound fundamentals.

Here are some of the great features:

Anti-Whale Mechanism: Our Anti-Whale function ensures that No sale amounts higher than 0.125% of the total supply are possible at once. Initially, it was at 0.25% but after we burned 50% Tokens of the Total Supply, we have reduced the limit per transaction by 50%. The Anti-whale won’t necessarily stop Whales from selling but having a maximum limit works as an indicator when a Whale is trying to sell their tokens and avoids price manipulations.

BUSD Reflections: Earn automatic Binance pegged BUSD rewards by holding your $EverGrow Coin – 8% of every buy and sell transaction is redistributed to all token holders directly in wallets. You will receive the rewards automatically in your wallet or claim your rewards manually in our dApp Dashboard anytime. This effectively means that the native reflection of Evergrow works in parallel with Stable Yield, while exponentially increasing your holdings.

Liquidity Pool: Our Smart contract deposits 4% from every buy/sell transaction as $Evergrow and $BNB into a liquidity pool. Pancakeswap fixes the low liquidity problems of DEXs through the liquidity Pools. A liquidity pool always contains a pair of tokens, Instead of maintaining an order book like traditional exchanges, Every Buy/Sell trade is matched with Liquidity in the Liquidity Pool. A bigger liquidity pool will provide more stability to $EGC price.

Buy-Back Wallet: 3% tokens are collected from every transaction and converted to BNB and are stored in Our contract. This wallet is known as BuyBack Wallet, when enabled it purchases EGC from exchanges and removes the purchased tokens permanently from circulating supply while simultaneously making green candles.

Doge shorts are practically ATH rn and still growing BUT Doge longs are also high right along with them. The difference is there’s only so much tension DOGE can take and there’s only so much short interest that is able to be acquired. When it comes to shorting, whether stock or crypto or any asset, there’s a LIMITED profit but UNLIMITED loss potential. For LONGS (like us hodlers included) the LOSSES are actually LIMITED while our upside profit potential is theoretically and exponentially UNLIMITED (must take into account liquidity and market cap etc but is still technically infinite over the axis of time)

BUT what this means is, eventually the shorts guaranteed will have to snap. Whether because the dip has reached as far down as the as the volume of long/short/wallets/holders can feasibly allow in an efficient market and they begin to take profit, or due to reversal that is in the Longs’ favor and they have to close their positions to reduce their potentially limitless losses (sell-to-open > buy-to-close kicks in). And the combination of Buy-to-Close and Buy-to-Open transactions as well as active hodlers (us) and margin calls for the leveraged shorts and future fomo investors, can spark a short squeeze that could push the marketcap egregiously higher than any reasonable levels (cough WELL over $100B+ market cap) pushing the price speeding past $1 even $2 or more.

When it comes to investing you have to consider ALL possibilities, not just the most probable ones to you. Look at GameStop, Tesla, etc for stocks that broke past their medium levels of confidence. There’s decent chance that a coin like Doge can remain stable and not move past 1-2 standard deviations in price in a short time BUT there are still the extremes.

One extreme is doge reaching 10 cent or below again which means everyone right now will lose 60%+ of their investment in DOGE. But for this to happen over $20-30 billion has to be removed from Doge entirely and about 90% or more of all retail Doge hodlers (like us) will have to sell off their entire investment in it simultaneously. The other dangerous extreme is Doge snaps and rips up 1600% - 3200% (egregiously offsetting the crypto market space by briefly** having a market cap larger than Ethereum and a price peak* anywhere between $4-8 dollars. ALOT would have to go right at the same time for this to occur but like I said, this is another extreme improbability just like doge losing 60%. The most probable situation or occurrenc

I close the door in their face.

I walk over sick bodies on the sidewalks.

I pick up mentally ill, medically fragile people in my vehicle and I leave them in unfamiliar pockets of the city.

I ignore the calls of help from a barely clothed man laying on the greenway, covered in his own waste.

You see, I’m a bus driver in America.

I am ordered to not board people who are a possible biohazard, because it costs the company I work for $300 to trade buses on the road. I had an older man fall asleep on my bus early one morning and woke to find that he had wet himself. He apologized and left, embarrassed. What bus is going to get him back home for a fresh change of clothes? Is there someone he can call? Or will he just have to wait for his pants to dry enough that no one will notice?

We used to have state run hospitals and facilities that cared for people with mental illness and other various physical and cognitive disabilities. Those places also practiced eugenics and over medicated and abused their patients. There was a time when a husband could have his wife committed if she wouldn’t have sex with him, or didn’t keep up on the housework, or, you know, maybe he just wanted to spend more time with his mistress. Teens were committed for being “promiscuous” or not wanting to attend church with their family.

Instead of creating safer, better facilities for these folks (the ones who actually needed help), we shut them down. Instead of changing the laws and requiring ACTUAL reasons to get help for a loved one, now we cannot do a thing. And no one is willing to help.

So here I am. Driving a bus for someone who doesn’t know where to go, and booting them off when we get to the end of the line. Yet another unknown starting point of their day.

That barely clothed man covered in feces? He was laying in the greenway of one of the many hospitals in the city. His hospital scrubs were stained brown and a wheelchair lay on its side just 3 feet from him. After he was wheeled out from the hospital to fend for himself, he watched as buses drove by every 7 minutes and hospital staff walked to and from work. Deep from his gut came emotions that I have never experienced in my life, as the one place that could help him had just publicly rejected him.

So yes. I treat homeless people like shit. Society has written them off as non-humans, blocking our view of the scenery that we are entitled to. They shit on our sidewalks just outside our $3K a month lofts and it pisses

Pilot on me!!

Series Intro: (I am getting increasingly worried about the amount of warning signals that are flashing red for hyperinflation- I believe the process has already begun, as I will lay out in this paper. The first stages of hyperinflation begin slowly, and as this is an exponential process, most people will not grasp the true extent of it until it is too late. I know I’m going to gloss over a lot of stuff going over this, sorry about this but I need to fit it all into four posts without giving everyone a 400 page treatise on macro-economics to read. Counter-DDs and opinions welcome. This is going to be a lot longer than a normal DD, but I promise the pay-off is worth it, knowing the history is key to understanding where we are today.)

This is a continuation of Part 4.0- If you haven't already, PLEASE go back and read the prior sections before continuing.

I want to caveat the below by stating that I do not think a potential hyperinflation in the U.S. would look the exact same as Weimar Germany. We have had 100 years of technological and social advancement, and thus it would manifest very differently today. The 1920’s German hyperinflation is a worst-case scenario, but it is vital to understand the history to analyze the similar situation which our nation faces.

Hyperinflation Begins

As 1921 dragged on, the fiscal situation continued to worsen. The German Government faced an impossible situation: they could either choose to hike taxes to over double their current rates (which were already high due to tax hikes authorized during wartime), which would most certainly cause a political revolution in Germany and potential default; or they could continue to print their deficits, and hope that the Allies wouldn’t seize German assets or that the rising cost of living would cause food shortages and riots. They continued down the path of money printing, unaware that they were steering their country ever more rapidly into the abyss.

In March 1921, France occupied German ports, due to increasing frustration on the side of the Allies of the Germans’ inability to pay. The Rhine ports of Duisburg, Ruhrort, and Dusseld

District 5 had faired the best of the more rebellious districts due to the close proximity of the Capitol and District 2, who both sent peacekeepers in to quell the uprisings and protect the power plants. The past four years though saw exponential growth with seven new solar plants and three new dams being built and investing in District 4’s new wind farm that saw the district become nearly independent of the District 5’s power grid. This change allowed District 2 to build the pylons needed to supply Districts 6 and 9 with enough electricity to stop the blackouts that would occur regularly. Quality of life in District 5 increased with many citizens being lifted out of poverty and a number of more wealthy citizens moving to the Capitol. Willow arrived in the district much earlier than anticipated due to the usually fast paced nature of this years reapings. She and Asha were quickly taken to the Hall of Justice while the youths were ushered in the reaping square and filed into their age groups.

Within twenty minutes after arriving Willow was taken to the stage where she gave the usual speech about being a victor, though her tone was much more flat and unamused than in previous districts. She looked out to the silver and grey clad youths before walking over to the female reaping bowl and rummaged around before picking out, 17 year old Lita Ogden. The camera found a girl of average height with wavy light brown hair and wearing a basic grey dress. Eugenia said that Lita didn’t even seem to react to her name being called, but when a girl next to Lita signed that she had been picked Rubius said that she must be deaf. Lita’s face changed to that of horror as she looked at the marque sign that had her name flashing on it then felt a peacekeeper grabbing her by the shoulder and directing her to the stage. Tears fell from her eyes as she tried to not panic the closer she got to the stage, but as she climbed the stairs her breathing intensified and she almost collapsed. Willow rushed over to help her but the peacekeeper stopped her from falling and nudged her toward Willow instead. Lita stumbled forward and looked at Willow who was giving her a sympathetic look and mouthed that she

With only 58,094 holders of AMP you are still very early to the game. If you hold greater than 228,317 AMP tokens you are in the top 1000 hodlers. But none of that matters if AMP isn't getting used.

AMP's price is very much dependent on its usage. Sure you can pump it $0.12 by having a lot of buying volume, but it will eventually find equilibrium and settle down to its "utilization" price.

DIRECTLY FROM THE WHITEPAPER: Amp has been designed as a low-volatility collateral token that continuously appreciates in value as a direct result of its utility. It mirrors a shift toward open token networks wherein users create and derive all intrinsic platform value through endogenous [internal] economic incentives. Since Amp is backed only by its literal use and not extrinsic assets, it is critical to model its economic foundation. Ultimately, this model is more cost efficient and productive than existing business models. Amp employs simple and transparent financial primitives (e.g., fixed supply, rudimentary staking mechanics), and avoids complicated synthetic or derivative instruments, rebasing mechanisms, multi-asset algorithmic models, and artificial constraints that are overly complex to users. Instead, Amp focuses on providing high-quality collateral, stability, and self-sustaining characteristics to create exponentially more utility.

So how can you help? You can help by increasing its utility. What does that mean? It means stake your tokens (if you can) or utilize the SPEDN app (or Gemini Pay) and go buy some ice cream at Baskin Robbins, some clothes at Nordstrom, go see a movie at Regal cinemas, get your pet food at Petco, supply your business from Office Depot/Max, get some towels or pillows at Bed, Bath & Beyond, all using the SPEDN app or Gemini Pay.

Just deposit fiat into Gemini, buy Gemini dollars and use that money to buy your items or transfer some crypto you currently own to your SPEDN app address and use that crypto for your consumable purchases. The more you use these services (SPEDN and Gemini Pay) the more AMP is being used to collateralize those purchases. As more and more of these stores notice they are making more money by paying fewer dollars in fees per transaction it will be brought up at shareholder meetings and the Flexa network will get noticed by the bigger players (Walmart, Amazon, Wayfair, etc.)

1. S&P 500 inflation-adjusted earnings yield 🔥

You may have seen this picture from this post. It's the S&P 500 inflation-adjusted earnings yield that's now falling below zero, setting a 40-year low. The last times it fell below 0 were in 2008 (housing bubble), 2000 (dotcom bubble), 1987 (Black Monday), 1973 (recession). And it's going under again. Here's another post about it, with Crescat Capital's letter. Essentially, impending boom ?

2. The Repo Market 💣

It's been all the talk lately. Lately, the Fed has been conducting reverse repo operations at higher and higher amounts. On May 20th, we hit the 5th highest ever with $351B and 48 participating counterparties.

Then on May 21st, reverse repos reached $369B with 52 participants! Compare this to two weeks ago where we had less than half that amount, $155B on May 6th. Here's a chart showing reverse repos from January til today. Notice the exponential increase ? Ya, shit is fucked.

Edit: 05/25: reverse repo @ $432.96 billion.

If you are not familiar with the repo market, I recommend reading this: The Imminent Liquidity Crisis & Reverse Repos Usage or watching George Gammon's YouTube video (Repo Market Rates Turn Negative).

Wat mean? Means there is too much cash in the system and not enough collateral (like treasury bonds). It means there's an imbalance between dollars (which are essentially IOUs) and whatever is backing the dollar'

- The number of Territories needed for each Expansionist Era Stars has been adjusted depending the number of Territories on the map and which Era the Empire is (the lower the number of Territories on the map, the lower the number of Territories needed). Furthermore, the Era Star goals are the same for Ancient Era regardless to the size of the map.

Culture Balancing:
- Turks: Adjacency bonus is now correctly set at +5% of District Science output per adjacent Research Quarter (instead of 300%). District now generates 1 Science per Food Workplace instead of 1 Science per City Population.
- French: French Emblematic District now only applies their "Science per Population" bonus when the City is in Science Mode.
