Trump now wants to “wind down” the war, but it has reached the point where he must either pull back or escalate further. The regime has not collapsed, the cost is rising, and a full-blown world economic crisis could be only weeks away. A deal will be no easier now than before. thetimes.com/comment/column…

I don’t disagree but let’s be honest - what is Dubai doing to stop the archer rather than the arrows ? - why is Dubai not offering asylum to its Muslim brothers? - is Dubai content to allow the Mullahs to continue killing its people, and its ambition to create a nuclear bomb and exterminate Israel? - supporting Dubai is hardly noble and is mercenary so contempt from others is understandable!

The UK had a massive opportunity to capitalise on the Iran conflict and launch attractive initiatives and policies to entice expats and businesses back home Instead it threatened us with financial penalties, shamed us for having left, and is running a relentless anti Dubai and anti expat propaganda campaign

Your Accountant
Your Accountant@TJiMTS·
Moving to Dubai? Here's what actually determines your UK tax residency. The Statutory Residence Test has 5 ties for leavers: 1. Family (spouse or minor child in UK) 2. Accommodation (UK property available for 91+ days) 3. Work (40+ days of UK work) 4. 90-day tie (90+ days in UK in either of previous 2 years) 5. Country tie (UK resident in any of the previous 3 tax years) That last one is almost always ticked for anyone leaving the UK. So you're starting with 1 tie before you've done anything. How many you need depends on UK days: 16-45 days: 4 ties = resident 46-90 days: 3 ties = resident 91-120 days: 2 ties = resident 121+ days: 1 tie = resident What catches people: country tie already ticked, visiting the UK for 95 days, and keeping a property available. That's 3 ties at 91-120 days. UK resident. Get the SRT wrong and HMRC treats you as if you never left.

@0xN31 @mgrabina No, they shouldn’t have to put up guardrails for the few functionally retarded people out there that would trade $50m on a platform they don’t understand and ignore obvious warnings

After today's unfavourable $50M swap on our interface, there's a lot of confusion around slippage I'd like to clarify: Slippage is the tolerance buffer on a market order: how much the final fill price can deviate from the quoted price due to market movement between signing and execution. On the Aave interface, suggested slippage is algorithmically calculated from asset pair volatility and order size. Since we offer both market orders (with adjustable slippage) and limit orders, our slippage and fee estimates are tuned for execution time. Users can always tighten it (or set limit amounts) and will typically get a surplus back thanks to @CoWSwap's auction mechanism. In this case, the user sent a market order with the suggested 1.21% slippage. But the core issue wasn't slippage, it was just the accepted quote with 99% price impact: As you can confirm it yourself on the CoW explorer, the order includes a quote field showing the original rate (50M USDT -> <140 AAVE) presented to the user before fees and slippage. It was already a very bad rate. All the interactions were also verified via internal analytics, and the user even received a 0.7% surplus, confirming the swap mechanics worked exactly as intended. Thanks to our open-source nature, anyone can reproduce this. So, the price impact warning was displayed. The checkbox was checked, sadly. While we're working on stronger guardrails for all our users, we'll always believe in permissionless DeFi.
Stani.eth@StaniKulechov

Earlier today, a user attempted to buy AAVE using $50M USDT through the Aave interface. Given the unusually large size of the single order, the Aave interface, like most trading interfaces, warned the user about extraordinary slippage and required confirmation via a checkbox. The user confirmed the warning on their mobile device and proceeded with the swap, accepting the high slippage, which ultimately resulted in receiving only 324 AAVE in return. The transaction could not be moved forward without the user explicitly accepting the risk through the confirmation checkbox. The CoW Swap routers functioned as intended, and the integration followed standard industry practices. However, while the user was able to proceed with the swap, the final outcome was clearly far from optimal. Events like this do occur in DeFi, but the scale of this transaction was significantly larger than what is typically seen in the space. We sympathize with the user and will try to make a contact with the user and we will return $600K in fees collected from the transaction. The key takeaway is that while DeFi should remain open and permissionless, allowing users to perform transactions freely, there are additional guardrails the industry can build to better protect users. Our team will be investigating ways to improve these safeguards going forward.
