One of the biggest opportunities when it comes to Onchain FX is the ability to disrupt pre-funding by using DeFi liquidity pools.
A lot of other players have built request for quote (RFQ) systems or central limit order books, these are fine but at some point, demand for USD outstrips the local currency and the systems will stall.
ViFi fixes this by paying LPs in USD for emerging market pairs. For the first time, LPs don’t have to take exposure in Pesos or Lira. We unlock deeper liquidity by making sure LPs get paid, it’s just that simple. Testnet is out, mainnet before the end of the year!
You can move a billion dollars onchain in seconds. You still can't move a million dollars into naira, pesos or shillings the same way.
ViFi is onchain FX built on Uniswap v4 hooks. Our testnet is live today on Base Sepolia and Arc Testnet.

a truly load bearing post was placed yesterday, i hope everyone has screenshot and framed it
we are at a real interesting time in tech where more and more of us will collectively contribute to solving product problems by making our own (bad) apps for public consumption and, as this compounds on itself, true nirvana: everyone making the software they need for their work.

looking at Caribbean export offer something I made a proposal for 3 years ago would make me feel more offended if I thought they had the coordination to actually have ripped it off.

Wages are not a share of profit. They're a cost of production, deducted before profit exists. What's left over is surplus value - the part you produced but didn't get paid for. Calling your wage a "share" is the exact inversion the boss wants you to believe.

They’re attracted to Zionism because Zionism is a comprehensive benefits package, not because of some collective trauma. Tell anyone that they’ll get a free house, healthcare, education, etc on a Mediterranean coast and you’ll have very few people refuse, it’s a settler colony.

If you call it a genocide and then campaign alongside the politicians who armed, funded and enabled it, there are only three possibilities:
A) You don’t actually believe it’s a genocide.
B) You do believe it’s a genocide, but complicity in genocide isn’t a dealbreaker for you.
C) You know exactly what it is, but your public condemnation is cynical: you invoke “genocide” because it’s what your constituency wants to hear and because doing so advances your political career, while abandoning the consequences of that position when they become politically inconvenient.
You cannot treat genocide as the ultimate crime when speaking to Palestinians, then treat its enablers as respectable political partners when you need their endorsements, votes or access.
At that point, you’re making genocide an issue we can simply move past.
It is my honor and privilege to announce that President @BarackObama is joining us on the trail in Detroit on Saturday, October 24.

Mamdani: No Jewish person in New York City is responsible for the actions of the state of Israel.
None?
Not even;
The Jewish supremacists that support the Friends of the IDF?
The institutions of Chabad, which teach that gentiles do not have human souls and that Palestinian children can be killed if they might grow up to threaten settlers?
The synagogues that auction off stolen Palestinian land and raise funds for the genocidal occupation forces?
The Jewish schools which celebrate ‘Israeli independence day’, the military capture of Jerusalem, and commemorate ‘fallen’ genocidaires as well as forcing the kids to sing Hatikvah?
The Jewish youth groups which actively build for the racist Birthright trips and provide the pipeline to recruit New York Jews into the genocidal IOF?
The thousands of 501(3)c foundations and charities directly supporting illegal settlements and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and indeed all of the Zionist institutions of the rest of occupied Palestine.
I could go on, listing all the Jewish communal groups in New York engaged in similar.
It would be easier to list the New York Jews who are not complicit in, or responsible for, the genocide, since there are so few of them.
They are the ones who are practically committed to a material anti-Zionism which is directed at tearing down both the Zionist entity and its practical support sinews and pipeline which is almost the entirety of organised Jewry in New York.

Zohran Mamdani:
One of the things that I'm proud of is that we live in the most Jewish city in the United States of America.
No Jewish person in New York City is responsible for the actions of the state of Israel.
If you want to hold anybody accountable, it's the people who are making those decisions — the prime minister, the state of Israel, also our complicity as American taxpayers, given that we know how many billions of dollars we have sent in bombs and continue to send.

Ben-Gvir himself recounts that a prison guard sent him a photo of a Palestinian prisoner’s meal at Ketziot Prison showing eight olives instead of six. He then left home and drove nearly three hours to the prison—over two extra olives.
When officials are counting olives on a prisoner’s plate, it reveals how abuse reaches even the smallest details of prisoners’ lives.
Inside Israeli prisons, even food has become a tool of punishment.

Ben Affleck (Hollywood star & Artists Equity CEO) talks about how he fine-tunes open video models by unfreezing weights and trained only the last cinematic layer so a film crew can hit real production standards.
for context, Ben Affleck founded InterPositive in 2022, a 16-person AI shop for film post and Netflix bought it in March 2026 for $587 mn in cash.
He needed that model because public video models were trained on his peers' films, and he did not think that was a real business. So InterPositive raised money, shot its own dataset for 8 months on a controlled stage, and used it only as late-stage training.
Each new film then trains a private model on its own dailies, so the production keeps the footage and the learning. That is the product Netflix paid $587 million for.

a legit problem in tech is how many of its leaders are trying to reinvent systems without bothering to understand how or why the current system works in the first place
Instinct CEO Noah Shinn says agents will let restaurants give tables to birthdays and anniversaries over whoever clicks first
"And traditionally, because of the way that the internet has worked, at least for reservations, it's been first come first serve. So anyone that comes in, no matter how important or how not important it might be, whoever gets in first gets the reservation."
"But what if you had the ability for the agent to be able to communicate on both sides, communicate, hey, this is important. This is actually the person's spouse's birthday, the 30th birthday, a very special event is coming up."
"And the restaurant too can say, let's actually prioritize birthdays or major decade birthdays or major anniversaries or these certain people, I don't know, whatever it might be, right?"
"So now with the ability, with all of the logistical burden of having to describe exactly what your case is and what's happening and why it's important. Now we have the ability to perfectly match what does the restaurant want? What does the user want?"
"And that will result in more special events for the users being able to actually have a spot in the restaurant."
