I set an alarm for 7AM EST to read Facebook's Libra blockchain announcement and woke up to various posts, tweets & takes around the world (the announcement was released at 5AM).

I know what I'm reading today: A new report from @GarrickHileman on the State of Stablecoins. If it's as good as his previous reports, this should be highly interesting. Looking forward to it!
Our new research team led by Dr. @GarrickHileman just released a stablecoin report that is the first of its kind. Take a deep dive into this quickly evolving asset class at blockchain.com/research.

Wow. This thread is WILD.
1/ Who wants to hear some scientific intrigue?
A few weeks ago, a group of physical chemists posted a paper online announcing the observation of superconductivity at room temperature.
Today I posted a comment pointing out something funny in their data.

Jeff Dean and co at GOOG just released a paper showing how machine-learned indexes can replace B-Trees, Hash Indexes, and Bloom Filters. Execute 3x faster than B-Trees, 10-100x less space. Executes on GPU, which are getting faster unlike CPU. Amazing. arxiv-vanity.com/papers/1712…
