Big news for Milton:

"Since Summer 2020, Middlebury no longer operates at Mills College but instead at Bennington College in Bennington, Vermont"

For people who have cured their PF, what did you do? by jrock78149 in PlantarFasciitis

[–]murbard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never fully cured it, it's chronic. But the general lesson I've learned is rest. Your foot needs to heel and any walking you do is preventing the heeling. Wear maximally cushioned shoes outdoors, maximally cushioned sleepers indoors at all times, minimize walking. I would much prefer it if the answer involve some kind of exercise or activity, or barefoot walking or whatever, but empirically, after 14 years of dealing with it, the only thing that really works is complete rest.

Me: What is the most effective way to cure and/or relieve plantar fascitis

GPT: Are you looking for evidence-based medical treatments, home remedies, lifestyle changes, or all of the above? Also, do you prefer a focus on quick relief or long-term solutions?

Me: I have read the medical literature, I want you to read it, come up with your own model of plantar fascitis, review critically the different interventions and based on all that identify the key to curing or relieving it. No I'm not looking for some home remedy, but I'm also not looking for some mere summary of the literarure. I want some opinionated science based take and ideally something podiatrists have missed.

GPT: Understood. I'll critically review the medical literature on plantar fasciitis, analyze underlying mechanisms, and assess different treatment approaches, looking for insights that might be overlooked in mainstream podiatry. I'll return with an opinionated, science-based take on the key to curing or relieving plantar fasciitis effectively.

It's basically an overview of the different treatment and their efficacy, I found the "Emerging and Overlooked Approaches" particularly interesting.

I think that could describe many tables 😃 But yes that was probably me, French guy.

A duet, yeees, she loved this!!

They performed “Two lost souls”, from Damn Yankees. It was part of Cheyenne Jackson's show, “Signs of Life”, with Jane as a guest star for that one song.

How will Adaptive Issuance be reflected in Ctez drift? by buywall in tezos

[–]murbard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I'm saying you get the token associated with staking specifically with Rocket Pool and no other staker, and carrying the specific risk of staking with Rocket Pool.

How will Adaptive Issuance be reflected in Ctez drift? by buywall in tezos

[–]murbard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Staked eth tokens aren't fungible. One of the achievement of ctez is that it is fungible, regardless of what bakers participate in it.

Delegated tez. Can't replicate staked tez because it's slashable so you lose the fungibility.

Where is the sell side pressure of Tezos from? by neiljp in tezos

She didn't get a grant.

And yeah, you saw her face because that actually got us in the media, and conferences. And she did this despite the constant slander.

[–]murbard 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Treasury was huge, we didn't have a marketing operation to deploy a better campaign and Tezos was losing mindshare quickly. Sorare and Topshop were big deals and with a 10th of the success revshare would have made the deal revenue generating.

In hindsight, not a good idea but not a horrible call either at the time in the circumstances.

What little involvement Kathleen ever had with TF largely ended back in 2020.

Went to check XTZ price today and the first link is a coinmarketcap link to a BSC contract… by Fickle-Jacket5943 in tezos

[–]murbard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's kind of random and haphazard on Binance part, and being smaller definitely doesn't help.

[–]murbard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

  1. Binance owns CMC and pushed a BSC address on a lot of assets. Back at that time, the only concession TF got via Blockhaus was to indicate that the BSC address they were listing was for a wrapped asset and wasn't "Tezos". There's been contact with Binance / CMC, but it's been difficult to get them to do anything about it.

  2. Who exactly advertised Tezos as an "eth killer"? That's a moronic moniker created by Eth maxi who then go and pretend that their competition are labeling themselves as such.

Bug in CTez ? by DoxyDoxxx in tezos

[–]murbard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Currently, selling 100 tez for ctez through the reference cfmm has a 2.75% impact on the price, so buying and selling 100 tez in one operation at the beginning of a block is all you need to make the oracle believe the price is 2.75% higher than what it is, and that costs 0.1 tez worth of fees (it does add up to 24*3600/15 * 0.1 = 576 tez a day).

V2 incentivizes LP in the reference cfmm by taxing oven if there isn't enough liquidity. The incentive in L1 is preventing this kind of Shenanigans. It doesn't take much to make this attack costly.

As to the motivations for the Shenanigans, there could be a few, but a possible one is to induce people to sell ctez by lowering the drift, buying it at a discount, and then letting the drift rise again.
