Last week I presented a paper at E-Vote ID: “Revisiting Silent Coercion” — This was joint work with a large team, and it took years. Jeremy Clark deserves the most credit for getting this paper published. 🙏 The paper explores “coercion” (vote buying, forcing someone to vote the way you’d like) that is “silent” (voter doesn’t know about it).

Myself and @cadillion ran the numbers on quantum progress: https://quantumdoomclock.com/ This doesn't yet have Majorana since it's #1, but add a 0 after the . on the p value on the math page and you'll see that MS's estimate of having useful quantum computers in around 3 years is entirely plausible given all the progress.

At the boston farcaster meetup last night (hosted by the wonderful @dbragz.eth ) we got into it on how prediction markets work and how much they can be trusted (imo a lot). Here's a well-timed video explainer that goes over the basics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngX1nIvnMOM
