We simulate the universe with game engines, then start believing the universe works like a game engine. We build neural networks inspired by brains, then start believing brains work like neural networks. Just because our models can simulate reality, doesn't mean reality works the way our models do. The map is not the territory.

@AFDudley0 It’s trivial to prove this isn’t happening: NYC’s vacancy rate is 1.41%. It also doesn’t make any sense. If the landlord can fill one unit for $5k, why can’t they fill both units for $5k, or at least $4k?

Here is the simple version: I have two units that I can price whatever I want. If my two options are fill both units at $2500 or fill 1 unit at $5000 and have the other remain empty, I rather take the second option because it has lower variable costs. And this is exactly what landlords do. In NYC they tear down old units and put up few units priced multiples higher than the units they replaced. An apartment is mostly negative space...

@AFDudley0 That’s nonsense. Why would they want to lose money? You’ve bought into a wild conspiracy theory which is surprising

There are already laws "forcing" landlords to build affordable housing and they already don't do it. There is no "free market incentive" for developers to build affordable housing. What they are actually incentivized to do is build various forms of unaffordable housing with the plan that most of it will remain empty.

@kermankohli @routemesh @CryptoSocrat0 @litocoen Actually, Yearn V3 does exactly this with “getEndorsedVaults”. So, I could be wrong, but it seems that it would be possible for an attacker to run a node on your network, then serve their own addresses in response to getEndorsedVaults, and steal the money of users

@kermankohli @routemesh @CryptoSocrat0 @litocoen Here’s a contrived example: if there was an AMM that returned the address of its pool contracts over RPC, and then the frontend sent money to this, an attacker running a node on your network could give the wrong address.

1/ Introducing RouteMesh, the RPC provider that doesn’t run any nodes but has access to the largest inventory of nodes globally. Because our model is permission-less (providers don’t need to sign up explicitly), we offer a service that has: Sub 10ms latency, support for 1000+ chains, usage based pricing, high rate limits and failovers baked-in. Currently serving billions of requests per month👇

@JTremback @CryptoSocrat0 @litocoen The node would have to pass several consecutive checks before it receives traffic and those consensus checks run very frequently to avoid such scenario.

@JTremback @CryptoSocrat0 @litocoen It's all good! We run a consensus-based monitoring algo that frequently checks the responses of the node against the others. If it responds with something out of consesus it gets disqualified and it won't receive any traffic.

@routemesh @CryptoSocrat0 @litocoen Sorry for my sarcastic replies earlier, but is there anything stopping someone from running full nodes in your system and returning malicious responses to steal money?

@JTremback @CryptoSocrat0 @litocoen "Slashed" was a bad term. There's no staking in our system at all. If the node falls out of sync or returns incorrect data, it simply gets disqualified from the list of providers that serve requests and we stop sending traffic to it.

Every node needs to have more staked than the amount that it is possible for that node to steal by misbehaving, otherwise stealing is the dominant strategy. It’s probably impossible to estimate how much could be stolen by a generalized RPC node, especially if it is able to serve incorrect responses to many users.

@AFDudley0 @JTremback lol why is this a bad thing? if we're serving incorrect data then you want to disqualify that node. unless you believe that nodes that are out of sync and not in consensus should be serving data?

RouteMesh@routemesh

@CryptoSocrat0 @litocoen That's a good question! We're currently working on a system that continuously monitors nodes for response correctness and ensuring they stay in sync. If a node falls out of place, it immediately gets "slashed" and it stops receiving traffic.

@routemesh @CryptoSocrat0 @litocoen lol does this mean that staked amounts need to be bigger than the largest amount that can be stolen before you find out?

Rewriting the deflation program is like a cruel hazing ritual for each new ICF BD/marketing guy 🤣
RoboMcGobo@RoboMcGobo

One of the first things I'm doing @cosmoslabs_io is helping to rework the ICF delegation program and I just want to give a quick PSA. Validators should strongly consider voting more. And thinking twice about abstaining.

The best explanation I've ever seen. It has always been strange to me that more people didn't say anything about these issues. I try to keep my comments respectful because it's all rather tricky. The only option has always been to sellout but no one ever says that so they can sellout first.

@PaulJeffries @BrandonGoldman @Austen Parents who send their kids to private school *already* pay to send a kid to public school with their taxes. Only difference is your plan is far more regressive because it isn’t income or property based.

Well, we could say: why shouldn’t they? It has a lot of the features of salubrious tax policy. There are, of course, plenty of reasons one might object that are rooted in rejection of taxation in general. But that just begs the question, and doesn’t address the claim that this is a candidate response to the OP concern. You could similarly say the OP objection never gets off the ground, but if you accept the premise if the question then an objection to the solution has to be modulo other solutions rather than no solution at all.
