@alvinhsia Is the withdrawal queue still going to be processed today for the ~65k withdrawals who entered the queue before the staked HYPE falls below the 50k threshold?

PSA on vHYPE when the withdrawal queue is processed tomorrow, the vHYPE staking vault will reach the 500k minimum HYPE required to operate an HIP-3 deployment this means that further withdrawals are paused until the stake goes back above the 500k HYPE minimum the withdrawal pause is by design to avoid trader disruption on the markets on Ventuals that are already live, and was acknowledged by those who deposited into vHYPE via our UI (two explicit confirmation steps) and in our docs as a reminder, the HYPE you deposit into vHYPE is always owned by you through audited smart contracts, and you earn native staking yield + Ventuals points with multipliers however — we know this isn’t ideal for those who need immediate liquidity on their HYPE so we are taking 2 steps to address this: 1. we are working with private LPs to increase the HYPE stake. more details to be shared on this later 2. in the meantime, there are secondary pools where you can swap vHYPE and HYPE instantly, where users are already arbing price discounts starting this week, Ventuals and our partners will provide a backstop at a 0.85:1 vHYPE to HYPE ratio, through the main secondary liquidity pools, effectively acting as a price floor this means if you need immediate liquidity, you will be guaranteed to be able to exit vHYPE at a max 15% discount as the first community-owned HIP-3 stake, we expected some potential bumps in the road. thank you to all of our depositors and traders, and we promise that we’re working hard to resolve things fairly for everyone involved

@cpoetzscher 🎯 Emil would be incredible

Emil would be an incredible leader for the DoT. He's one of the smartest, most entrepreneurial, & hardest working people I've ever worked with. He is a visionary, inspiring, empathetic, and high-integrity leader who brings out the very best in people. I know so many men & women who worked with me on Emil’s team who feel exactly the same way, and would say that working with Emil was the best experience of their careers. And like so many immigrants, he dearly loves America and wants to help make it an even better country. In addition to his extensive experience in the private sector, he has already made significant contributions in the public sector earlier in his career. He would be an amazing Transportation Secretary. I hope President-elect Trump nominates him & the Senate swiftly confirms him. nytimes.com/2024/11/14/tec…

@Mark_Goldberg_ @kshenster @ethankurz Congrats mark and k Shen. This is the real deal!!

@govind201 Good read! The AI sea change will usher in a new renaissance where people dedicate themselves to creative pursuits to reclaim identity.

Back to the nest @Twitter … @nedsegal doesn’t look *too* stressed out.🙃 (also it’s been 12 years since I saw you in person!)

@chenliw Dropbox bizops mafia in sg. Best team I’ve worked with!

Alternate take, from the first Dropbox bizops hire. 1. Started a growth team. Launched Space Race in 2012 that drove millions of new edu signups. 2. Defined metrics/events for "active" user, worked w/ eng to instrument. We didn't know how many MAUs we had until fall 2011.

Twitter has a purpose and relevance that impacts the entire world. Deeply proud of our teams and inspired by the work that has never been more important.

@angadsg @naval Psychedelics

If you have not figured this out, are you really smart? nav.al/smart @naval "You see the cynicism and manipulation behind so many things portrayed as being good for you ... Very smart people often communicate in purely cynical observations."

All the feels

Twitter is doubling down on the tech ecosystem in Singapore! We've been super intentional about building a decentralized engg culture and are scaling teams working on all parts of our tech stack. 🇸🇬

Growing engineering @TwitterSG came with a lot of learnings - specially as we are now more decentralized. I wrote about 3 challenges here - leaddev.com/managing-distr… 0/n
