Geotab Inc., a global market leader in connected transportation solutions, has introduced two new products for the Irish fleet market at Geotab Connect 2025 in Orlando, Florida - a premier event attended by over 3,000 participants within the global fleet industry. Focused on helping companies move from reactive to proactive fleet management, both new products, Driver Risk Insights and Work Order Management, will give fleet managers the additional tools they need to improve safety records and vehicle maintenance. Understanding driver behaviour to improve safety With road traffic accidents on the rise, Irish fleet managers are under increased pressure to improve safety and mitigate risk. Driver Risk Insights is an AI-powered enhancement within the Geotab Safety Center that provides fleet managers with a new level of visibility into individual driver risk factors. By shifting the focus from vehicle-based data to driver-specific analysis, this advancement enables fleets, especially those with shared vehicles, to assess and predict collision risk at the driver level rather than the vehicle level. This more precise understanding of driver behaviour allows for targeted safety interventions, helping to reduce accidents, lower costs, and improve overall driver performance. Driver Risk Insights enables personalised, driver-focused analytics to: Assess the likelihood of a collision, providing a percentage-based collision risk probability per driver based on driving behaviours and historical trends Benchmark driver performance with similar drivers within their fleet or across different fleets using Geotab's extensive anonymised aggregate data set Deliver proactive coaching via the Geotab Drive App, giving drivers feedback and empowering them to improve safety habits to protect themselves "Fleets can't afford to rely only on reactive safety measures," said Sabina Martin, Vice President of Product Management at Geotab. "With AI-powered Driver Risk Insights, we're giving fleet managers and drivers a predictive edge - helping them prevent collisions before they happen, reduce costs, and create a culture of continuous safety improvement." Moving from reactive to proactive fleet maintenance The new Work Order Management within the Geotab Maintenance Center will help fleet managers in Ireland reduce downtime and manage maintenance costs more effectively. It allows fleet managers to streamline maintenance tasks through the centralised hub in the MyGeotab platform. By consolidating scheduling, tracking, and reporting in one place, fleets can replace manual record-keeping and disconnected systems with a more efficient digital workflow. Key benefits include: Centralised management to track all maintenance activities in one location, eliminating the need for multiple apps Improved operational efficiency, by converting maintenance requests into work orders, monitoring active work orders, and analysing costs and downtime metrics Predictive maintenance through Geotab's predictive analytics to identify vehicles at risk of failure and schedule preventative maintenance before costly issues arise "Fleet maintenance is a major cost driver, and unexpected breakdowns can significantly impact operations," added Sabina Martin. "We expect that Work Order Management will help Irish fleets move from reactive to predictive maintenance - improving efficiency, lowering costs, and keeping vehicles on the road." Ireland's SIRO crowned winner of Geotab Innovation Award in Sustainability Geotab has also revealed the winners of the 2025 Geotab Innovation Awards at Connect. The annual awards programme celebrates the commercial businesses and public sector fleets leading the way in their use of connected vehicle technology and data insights to drive better outcomes for business, people and the planet. The winners, including commercial and public sector fleets from the food and beverage, transportation and logistics industries, public transit, public works, and others, use...

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen unveiled her plans for the new top team at the European Commission last week, but the reactions were mixed. Many politicians argued that the portfolios were too broad and overlapped each other.The fear is that the upcoming commissioners will constantly step on each other's toes, as many did in the previous mandate.But the underlying question might actually be: why do we need 27 Commissioners? What would have to change at the political and administrative level to make the institution more efficient from a recruitment point of view?Today, the president of one of the EU's major trade unions, Renouveau & Démocratie, Cristiano Sebastiani, talks to Radio Schuman about the main recruitment problems the EU executive is facing.On a lighter note, we explore Albania's plan to establish a new microstate, set to become the smallest in the world.Radio Schuman is hosted and produced by Maïa de la Baume, with journalist and production assistant Eleonora Vasques, audio editing by Zacharia Vigneron and music by Alexandre Jas.has context menu Hosted on Acast.

Short inspirational insights into the weekly Torah portion and Jewish festivals.

Do we need to change the way children are allocated school places?A centralised admission process for secondary schools is to be introduced in a number of towns across the country in time for the 2025 school year - is this the best way to assign places?To discuss, guest host Anna Daly is joined by Lucy, a parent from Stillorgan, Eric Nelligan, Assistant Principal at St Munchin's College Limerick, Simon Lewis Principal of Carlow Educate Together and Rachel Harper, Principal of St Patrick's National School in Greystones.

An Ennis principal says he wants to see a secondary school admission process similar to what operates in the county town rolled out to south-east Clare. Education Minister Norma Foley has confirmed a centralised admission process for post-primary schools will be introduced in several high-pressure towns and suburbs for the 2025 school year. The system is already in place in Ennis and Limerick City where parents submit one form on which they indicate their preference of the local second-level schools instead of making individual applications. Ennis CBS Primary School Assistant Principal Colm Davoren says towns and villages on the Clare/Limerick border would benefit greatly from such a system. [CLIP] Additional first year places have been created for September in the likes of Greystones, Maynooth and Cellbridge, and it's believed these will be among the areas where a centralised admission process will be first introduced. Former INTO President and Corofin Fianna Fáil Councillor Joe Killeen believes the system is welcome as it ensures no child is left without a secondary school place.

Shay Merary, Chief Development Officer, FlyfishA new category of FinTech? Maybe… Flyfish aims to develop a comprehensive marketplace for financial services, hoping to mirror the impact of the likes of Airbnb but doing so in the financial sector. The company wants to be a disruptor and is on a mission to explain to potential clients and partners why that disruption makes sense, integrating diverse financial services into one platform and making it easier for businesses to manage their financial operations. Robin Amlôt of IBS Intelligence speaks to Shay Merary, Chief Development Officer at Cyprus-based Flyfish. 

In this episode, Rob continues his conversation with one of his top salespeople, Kane Baron. They discuss the dos and don'ts of lending money to family and friends, reveal the secrets to investing in watches and cars, and share valuable lessons on raising financially savvy kids!  KEY TAKEAWAYS Lending money to family and friends can be risky; only do it if you're prepared to lose the money or the relationship. Consider giving the money as a gift instead. When investing in watches and cars, look for limited editions, good heritage, and scarcity to ensure the best returns. Teach your kids about money early on, as schools often fail to provide adequate financial education. Encourage them to start a company and learn how to manage their finances wisely. Cash is a liability, not an asset, as it depreciates in value over time. Invest in assets that produce income and protect your wealth from inflation. Centralised digital currencies could lead to a lack of competition and a social credit system, which may stifle creativity and reward laziness. Decentralised digital currencies offer more freedom and choice. If you become wealthy, be wise with your money. Consider being generous, but also know when to say no to protect your relationships and financial well-being.   BEST MOMENTS "If you're going to lend money to friends and family, if you don't want to lose the money and you want to make a return, you have to get a first charge on their property. Which means you have to be prepared to repossess the ass of your mum or dad if they don't pay you back." "The thing that will teach kids about money is struggle with money. You can teach them about money like I do." "Money loves speed. Money always moves at its fastest. So that's why people exchange money instantly online now. That's why you like the tap of your Apple Pay because it's super fast. It's convenient and easy to store and not easy to thieve." "I do loads of stuff like that, and I don't ever tell anyone about that. So I like to make myself proud every day."   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

India has regularly seen bans on fireworks during festive seasons, but knee-jerk policy reactions aren't enough. Centralised directives to curb air pollution don't account for contextual differences across states, and give a one-size-fits-all model that doesn't seem to help. Can India adopt pollution policies from other countries? How do we ensure the sustainability of these policies? In this episode, Ananya Desai and Rohan Pai discuss possible solutions to tackle India's air pollution problem.

Continuing the series with Mahon McCann, Ken Lowry & O.G. Rose. We explore a christianity that 'goes beyond itself' and some of the dynamic tensions involved in integrating Christianity with many of us outsiders to the tradition. A unique consideration of how modern christianity 'bands off' the 'top' and 'bottom' of transcendental experience and deep suffering of collective trauma and holds us in a 'middle space'. How we might learn from Paul and early communities as a model of de-centralised scenes experimenting with different ecologies of practice in dialogue with one another. Mahon McCann is a Phd in philosophy of digital ethics. He is a playwright in Dublin and hosts both a podcast and substack exploring responses to the meaning crisis. https://www.mahonmccann.com/ Ken Lowry is an explorer and lover of the Good, the True and the Beautiful.

I wrote this article for Moneyweek the day before the EU referendum, on June 22, 2016. I thought with everything that has happened since, as your Sunday morning thought piece, this was well worth re-reading and thinking about. It's amazing how many of these things remain issues, especially immigration, and how few have been properly acted upon.It's also amazing just how our leaders have failed us. Brexit was such an opportunity to “reset”, to start again, to re-design our country at a time when so many are craving change. In that regard, you would probably have to say that Boris was the biggest missed opportunity of the lot, especially given the mandate he had in 2019. I love Europe, but I want to leave the EUIt's obvious. But based on some of the things I'm reading on social media and elsewhere, it needs saying again. Voting to leave the European Union (EU) is not voting for Boris or Nigel or anyone else. The elected Conservative government will remain in power until there is another election, at which point we can vote for a different party if we so wish. This is simply a vote on whether we should remain part of the administrative body that is the EU. It does not mean you will no longer be able to travel to France. It does not mean your continental friends will not be able to come to the UK. And it doesn't mean we will no longer be able to trade with our European brothers.I should say, my grandparents were Italian. I speak five European languages, three fluently. I have lived several years of my life on the continent, and I do business with people in Europe all the time. I'm a europhile.And I want out of the EU. Here are ten reasons why.1. Centralised power is the wrong way to goPeople thrive most in societies in which power is distributed as thinly and widely as possible. In such environments they are happier, healthier, wealthier, freer, and they achieve more.The EU, by design, centralises power in Brussels. We are moving into an age of decentralisation and localisation. The EU is the wrong model for the times.2. Fringe nations perform better Since the inception of the EU in 1993, the economies of Norway, Switzerland and Iceland (even with its financial crisis) – the fringe nations – have on a per capita basis dramatically outperformed their neighbouring EU economies.We would be a fringe nation and that would suit us.3. Regulation should be localAround 65% of regulation is now set in Brussels. It is of a one-size-fits-all variety, and so often inappropriate to local circumstances. Rather than facilitate progress, regulation hinders it. Yet, once in place, regulation is hard to change. Rather than get cut, it is added to. We already have too much in our lives. What we need would be much better set locally, according to local needs and circumstances.4. The economic disaster that is southern EuropeWe now have 39% youth unemployment in Italy, 45% in Spain and 49% in Greece. These countries are unable to do the things they need to do to kickstart their economies because decisions are being taken on their behalf; not locally, but in Brussels. I cannot support with my vote an organisation that has inflicted such misery on its people. Reform of a bureaucratic organisation like that from within is an impossible undertaking.5. Immigration policy is becoming ever more importantThere are more and more people in the world and – whether it's those displaced by wars, by lack of water, by poverty, hunger or lack of opportunity – more and more of them are on the move. We are in a migration of people of historic proportions.The UK, in the way it currently operates, will struggle with immigration levels over 300,000 a year (and growing every year) for a sustained period. We don't have the infrastructure. I wonder how we get those numbers down. I'm not sure we can, either in or out of the EU. It is a tide in the affairs of men. But we are in a better position to do it with total control of our own borders and border policy.6. Trade deals are a red herringAs a percentage share, British trade with the EU, despite the single market, has fallen by almost 20% since 1999. British trade with the US, on the other hand, has grown. We have no official trade deal with the US.Here's a chart of exports for your delectation.There is no point having a common market if the economies of the countries you're in that market with are dying. 7. Further integration with the EU = economic declineWhen Britain joined the Common Market in 1973, the EU (as it is now) produced 38% of the world's goods and services – 38% of global GDP. In 1993, when the EU formally began, it produced just under 25%. Today the EU produces just 17%.The obvious explanation for this is the rise of the Asian economies, which have taken on a bigger share of global GDP. But why then has the US's share not fallen by as much? The US's share of global GDP stood at 30% in 1973, 27% in 1993, and stands at 22% today. That's a 55% drop for the EU versus a 27% drop for the US.Run away.8. Democratic accountability mattersThe EU is not a democratically accountable body. I didn't vote for the administrators and nor did you. I don't know who most of them are. If we want to vote them out, what do we do? We can't do anything. And if you want some idea as to the esteem in which they hold democratic process, how about this from the president of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Junker: “prime ministers must stop listening so much to their voters and instead act as ‘full time Europeans'.” Or how about another one of his remarks: “when it gets serious, you have to lie”. Just what you want in a president. Do you remember voting for him? I certainly don't.9. Land ownership and the Common Agricultural PolicyThere is no greater manifestation of the wealth divide in the UK than who owns land and who doesn't: 70% of land in the UK is owned by fewer than 6,000 people. Yet these people are not paying tax on the land they own, they are receiving subsidies for it. Landowners are being paid by the EU to own land. Of the EU budget, 40% goes on agricultural policy. This has created vast amounts of waste. It has propped up inefficient businesses that have failed to modernise. It has re-enforced monopolies which should be broken up. Worst of all, it has meant that African farmers have been unable to compete, depriving millions of a livelihood (not to mention cheaper food for the rest of us). I cannot endorse with my vote an organisation that does this and shows zero inclination to change its ways.10. The Common Fishing Policy60% of EU water is British or Irish. We have not been given any continental land (why should we be?), yet we have had to cede control of our waters to gain EU membership. What was once a huge industry and the largest fishing fleet in Europe has all but disappeared.The French, Italians, Spanish and Greeks had fished out the Mediterranean. They were given access to our waters and our quota was reduced to 13% of the common resource. The quotas system brought about the dreadful practice of discards (putting dead fish back in the sea), and reformed EU regulation now means that rather than being put back in the water, it is brought back for landfill instead. Let's have our waters back.I don't think it takes a genius to work out which way I'm voting tomorrow. Good luck with whatever you choose to do in what will be a historic occasion. I'm looking forward to it. I believe, in the event we vote to leave, once we actually do leave, we will experience an economic boom that will take everybody's breath away, to the extent that we will look back and wonder why we were even discussing it. Fingers crossed. If you think this article might persuade any of the many wavering, undecided voters, please share it with them.From next week, I'll be back with the usual investment thoughts and ideas.So … What do you think? How right was I? How wrong was I? Post your thoughts in the comments. Obviously, seven years on a lot has changed. With the benefit of hindsight, things now look very different. So many bad decisions have been made. But it's very interesting to look back and see where we were, where we could have been and where we are now. This is a public episode.

They also touch on the challenges of verifying smart contracts and the significance of trust in both systems.Key takeawaysDespite being regulated in Liechtenstein and Bermuda, Bittrex Global is facing legal challenges from the SEC.Oliver Linch, CEO of Bittrex Global, believes that a legal framework is required to ensure that people can engage in commercial activities with confidence and that regulation is critical when things go wrong.Centralised and decentralised products can collaborate to create something more productive than destructive, and there will always be a place for both centralised and decentralised products in the crypto industry.Regulation will have an impact on the crypto industry's future, and the next ten years will be crucial in determining how the industry will evolve.Bittrex Global is primarily focused on regulation, security, and innovation, with a particular interest in the tokenization of real-world assets.Chapters[01:18] Oliver Linch's unusual for a crypto exchange CEO background as a lawyer [02:08] The story behind Oliver Linch's journey to becoming CEO of Bittrex Global[03:49] How is Bittrex Global handling the SEC's lawsuit while building its business?

Key Takeaways:Validators help secure the Ethereum blockchain and are compensated with ETH staking rewards.The rate of return, or APY, changes based on various factors.There are 4 ways to stake ETH:Solo staking: Full rewards but requires 32 ETH and relatively high technical knowledge.Staking as a service: It still requires 32 ETH. Must pay a small fee.Pooled staking: The most popular option because you don't need to have 32 ETH. Must pay a small fee.Centralised exchanges: Usually offers the lowest rewards. Only option with exchange risk.Staking is not risk-free. Each of the 4 options include different types of risks. The ‘best' option for you will depend on your skill level, goals and risk tolerance.

Scientific research & publishing are gruelling tasks that extend outside the scope of science itself. Centralised publications abound in archaic practices that span from submitting a paper to getting it peer-reviewed and finally published, process which may take even up to years. In addition, research requires funding from very early stages of pursuing an idea, all the way to its finality (i.e. clinical trial or real-life applications). In TradSci (traditional science), funding is usually obtained once progress has already been achieved or when a startup has been formed.DeSci (decentralised science) sets out to change this paradigm by funding early stage research via DAOs. When it comes to scientific publications, peer reviewing is also decentralised and incentivised, considerably speeding up the process. Moreover, contributions can be clearly retraced, avoiding false claims over IP, and the research itself becomes much more easily accessible and disseminated.We were joined by Vincent Weisser & Laurence Ion, stewards of Vita DAO, to discuss the advantages of DeSci in general, and the progress of longevity research in particular.Topics covered in this episode:Vincent's background and his interest in longevityLaurence's background and his interest in biotechThe purpose of DeSciWhich science branch is better suited for DeSciHow DeSci fixes contribution acknowledgement & incentive misalignmentFrom research idea to startup via DeSci funding$VITA token utilityAccelerating scientific publishing via DeSciHow IP is attributed in a DeSci settingProject review and governance in Vita DAOEpisode links: Vincent WeisserLaurence IonVita DAOMolecule DAOVita DAO projectsMoleculeBio DAO launchpadThe Longevity PrizeThe Longevity Decentralized ReviewThis episode is hosted by Friederike Ernst & Meher Roy.

The National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020), among other things, also envisaged what is being called ‘assessment reform' – that is, changing the way school students are assessed. With this objective in mind, it recommended setting up a centralized, national-level assessment regulator called PARAKH – Performance Assessment, Review and Analysis of Knowledge for Holistic Development. The government invited international consultants to bid for a contract to help set up PARAKH, and now three global nonprofits – Educational Testing Services (ETS), American Institutes for Research (AIR) and the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) – have expressed interest. So, how will having a centralized assessment regulator change the way assessments are done in India? Why do need the help of foreign consultants for setting up PARAKH -- do we lack the expertise in India? How will PARAKH help secure better educational outcomes for our students? 

In episode 51 of the Web3 with Sam Kamani podcast, I am talking with Jonathon Miller, The Managing Director of Kraken. Kraken is one of the giant crypto exchanges, they have over 3300 employees and have done billions in transaction volume, a few months ago they were valued at $11B. And just like most Web3 companies they are remote first. This podcast episode was a bit harder to name because we talked about so many different topics, we talked about Ethereum, Crypto markets, merge, Staking crypto, rewards, NFT Marketplaces, Bear markets, acquisitions, Centralised finance vs decentralised finance and so much more… Finally this podcast episode was recorded about 5 weeks ago, prior to the merge. And the Web3 industry moves really fast so a lot has changed since then.

As the Merge Block arrives (7days from publication) we ask ourselves is ETH a security now, are centralised companies going to dominate transactions and what does this mean to investors and users?   The Ethereum 2.0 upgrade will bring with it a switch from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake. Already $21 billion of Eth is locked up and returning validators at 4.56%.  JPMorgan Chase estimates that by 2025 Ethereum 2.0 could create a $40-billion staking industry.  But OFAC sanctions, the threat of censorship and MAV inefficiencies lay waiting to be exploited or resolved.

Master Builders CEO David Kelly says he didn't expect any big bang from the Commerce Commission's initial report on the cost of construction supplies, but he did say he is pleasantly surprised that some critical issues have been identified. He is keen on the idea of a centralised regulatory regime, instead of the dozens of various consenting authorities around NZ. That could mean if a product gets approved in one jurisdiction it is approved everywhere.

Do you worry about the markets crashing? Are you concerned about possible hyperinflation and its effect on you and your family? Our current financial system is broken. Our money works overtime for a privileged few while paying the rest lower than inflation interest rates. Centralised authorities are clinging to control of our financial systems. Controlling a financial system gives access to control a lot of energy. If we give this power away, it can be used against us. A social credit system, of sorts. We have to change how we "do money" to reclaim our power. The story of "hyperinflation" results from "hyper money printing". Your last paycheque is worth less today because we're bailing out a failing system. Could Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies have the potential to create a deflationary environment? Is it possible to live in a world where prices come down, and the profits made by the few return to the rest. Beware of knights in shining armour. Be cautious about the next financial solution presented, especially if it's created by the same actors that created this mess.This week on the Call To Courage Podcast, Gareth speaks to Rishi Bond a Bitcoin enthusiast and founder of the Bitcoin Lake Project. In this episode you'll learn: ⭐️ some of the problems with the current financial systems and some ideas of how to do money differently.⭐️ how fiat currency and Bitcoin differ.⭐️ an investment strategy you can implement and how to determine your monthly safety number.⭐️ how Gareth's early investment into Bitcoin investments made him a millionaire (for a while) - and changed his life path.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Issues with centralised grantmaking, published by MathiasKB on April 4, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Recently someone made a post expressing their unease with EA's recent wealth. I feel uncomfortable too. The primary reason I feel uncomfortable is that a dozen people are responsible for granting out hundreds of millions of dollars, and that as smart and hardworking as these people are, they will have many blindspots. I believe there are other forms of grantmaking structures that should supplement our current model of centralised grantmaking, as it would reduce the blindspots and get us closer to optimal allocation of resources. In this post I will argue: That we should expect centralised grantmaking to lead to suboptimal allocation of capital. That there exists other grantmaking structures that will get us closer to the best possible allocation. Issues with centralised funding Similarly to the USSR's economic department that struggled with determining the correct price of every good, I believe EA grantmaking departments will struggle for similar reasons. Grantmakers have imperfect information! No matter how smart the grantmaker, they can't possibly know everything. To overcome their lack of omniscience grantmakers must rely on heuristics such as: Is there someone in my network who can vouch for this person/team? Do they have impressive backgrounds? Does their theory of change align with my own? These heuristics can be perfectly valid for grantmakers to use, and result in the best allocation they can achieve given their limited information. But the heuristics are biased and result in sub-optimal allocation to what could theoretically be achieved with perfect information. For example, people who have spent significant time in EA hubs are more likely to be vouched for by someone in the grantmakers network. Having attended an ivy league university is a great signal that someone is talented, but there is a lot of talent that did not. My issue is not that grantmakers use these proxies. My issue is that if all of our grantmaking uses the same proxies, then there will be a great deal of talented people with great projects that should have been funded but were overseen. I'm not sure about this, but I imagine that some complaints about EA's perceived elitism stem from this. EA grantmakers are largely cut from the same cloth, live in the same places, and have similar networks. Two anti-virus systems that detect the same 90% of viruses is no more useful than a single anti-virus system, two systems that are uncorrelated will instead detect 99% of all viruses. Similarly we should strive for our grantmakers's biases to be uncorrelated if we want the best allocation of our capital. In the long run, overreliance on these proxies can also lead to bad incentives and increased participation in zero-sum games such as pursuing expensive degrees to signal talent. We shouldn't expect for our current centralised grantmaking to be optimal in theory, and I don't think it is in practice either. But fortunately I think there's plenty we can do to improve it. What we can do to improve grantmaking The issue with centralised grantmaking is that it operates off imperfect information. To improve grantmaking we need to take steps to introduce more information into the system. I don't want to propose anything particularly radical. The system we have in place is working well, even if it has its flaws. But I do think we should be looking into ways to supplement our current centralised funding with other forms of grantmaking that have other strengths and weaknesses. Each new type of grantmaking and grantmaker will spot talent that other grantmaking programs would have overseen. Combined they create a more accurate and robust ecosystem of funding. FTX Future fund's regranting programme is a great ...

Deus Finance - Decentralised share trading - bringing Tesla, Apple, and GameStop to the party!With Lafayette, founder of DEUS FinanceIn this episode of the DeFi Download podcast, Piers Ridyard talks with Lafayette Tabor, founder of Deus Finance. During this interview, Lafayette describes the features that make DEUS the Uniswap version of Robinhood.Deus is a decentralised application that allows the trading of traditional financial assets. For example, you can buy and sell stocks such as Tesla, AMC, and GameStop, as well as commodities such as silver and gold. Lafayette and Piers discuss how the Deus oracle system works and addresses security issues and the creation of synthetic assets (the dAssets), liquidity and collateral.[00:00:50] What does it mean being the “Uniswap version of Robinhood”?[00:02:40] What is an "oracle"? Why is being able to trade stocks on top of a blockchain an oracle problem, and why is it difficult to set up an oracle server?[00:05:50] Centralised vs decentralised oracles, the advantages and disadvantages of each, and Deus' approach to balancing the trade-offs.[00:07:23] The benefits of a fast and flexible oracle system. Over-collateralisation and the Deus alternative that does not require providing collateral.[00:10:01] How Deus operates as a decentralised clearinghouse.[00:11:20] How does the back-end evolve from a system that facilitates betting on the volatility of stock prices to one that enables the creation of synthetic assets that follow the same trajectory as the underlying? What are “Synchronised Perpetuals”?[00:18:58] How is Deus affected by financial regulations?[00:19:42] After a user has created an asset, what needs to happen in terms of liquidity and volume so that the Deus team, community, and protocol are confident that a newly created stock will indeed track its equivalent counterpart off-ledger? How does Deus ensure that this happens to all the synthetic assets?[00:22:15] What is Deus' black swan event?[00:22:36] Deus' rules on introducing stocks and creating stock pairs.[00:24:35] When to expect the next iteration of Deus that progresses from an over-collateralisation system to a funding rate system.Further resourcesWebsite: deus.financeWiki: wiki.deus.finance/docs/Telegram: t.me/deusfinanceTwitter: @DeusDao
