The weekend is here! Pour yourself a cup of Danish blend coffee, sit down by the fire, and get ready for our long weekend:

• Vigilantes looks for crypto scams in the $100 billion DeFi market These types of scams have exploded in DeFi in the wild west of the crypto market. There, anyone and everyone can mint digital tokens—some have created amazing wealth, and many have failed within hours. FOMO coin culture is the perfect hotbed for fraudsters who want to take investors’ money and escape. (Bloomberg)

• How complex systems fail A brief discussion on the nature of failure; how to evaluate failure; how to attribute failure to proximate causes; and the resulting new understanding of patient safety (How complex systems fail)

• Future plans for repairing the U.S. grid This year, millions of Americans across the country cut off electricity when they needed it most. As the U.S. grid responds to heat waves, winter storms and stronger hurricanes caused by climate change, such failures occur more frequently, take longer to repair, and harm more people. Power outages used to be mainly seasonal, but now they occur throughout the year. Winter is often the season of power outages. Smart grid can change this situation. (sound)

• All night long with Twitch millionaires: the loneliness and anger of new Internet rock stars The punitive need to stay relevant in an oversaturated market also contributes to severe burnout. Five years after establishing an unapologetic aggressive role for a predominantly young audience, it may be exhausted by the expectations of the ruthless crowd. For 10 hours a day, the anchor broadcasts a life of obsession and wealth for the ruthless crowd. How long can any of them last? (Washington post)

• From contempt to indifference to curiosity to very excited: my web3 journey DAO is a bit like a public company. Each member is like a shareholder. Therefore, if the DAO flourishes, members can see their investment grow; if it fails, they lose. Therefore, as far as Planet Money is concerned, if the audience and income of the show grow, and the attention continues to grow, then these $TOXIE coins will become more and more valuable. DAO is also very much like a cooperative. The deliberation takes place at the meeting of the Standing Committee Committee. Financial decisions are made through voting. (Adam Davidson)

• Mind Reading Science The results of the study were published in the New England Journal of Medicine. This paper caused a sensation. The Los Angeles Times wrote a story about it with the headline “Vegetable Brain Shows Life.” It is estimated that 20% of patients who are assumed to be vegetative are actually awake. (New Yorker)

• How my 84-year-old father helped me see the stupidity of Gen Z My father’s rich life experience and wisdom made me aware of the impermanence of today’s fashion and fallacy. When my best friend remembers the plight of World War II, it is difficult for me to please my peers who ask for safe space and trigger warnings. When my father recalled the rise and fall of the Soviet Union, it was impossible to flirt with socialist politics. When my father proved alive the wisdom that lifelong reading can cultivate, it is difficult for me to spend time browsing TikTok. (New York Post)

• The Webb Space Telescope will rewrite the history of the universe.If it worksThe James Webb Space Telescope aims to answer many of the core questions that have excited astronomers in the past half century. It is priced at 10 billion U.S. dollars and is one of the most ambitious engineering projects in history. But to realize its potential-nothing more than rewriting the history of the universe and reshaping the status of mankind in it-many things must be just right. (Quanta Magazine)

• Sex parties are really better than ever Optimists predict that there will be a fierce scuffle after the blockade. They are right. Throughout the summer and early fall, I participated in four different New York sex parties: none of the parties allowed the use of the phone. Two of the four parties require proof of vaccination; the other two allow COVID testing to be negative. Party guests and staff told me that people seem to be more eager to participate than ever before — and once they get there, they will explore. (That cut)

• Mel Brooks kept it very relaxed in “All About Me!” Brooks himself believes that it is the opposite of fear of heights: Climbing to the icy summit of Hollywood, in addition to the pain of self-doubt, also uses humor as his trekking pole. Fear of heights is closely related to fear of falling; falling (not failure) is a measure of what Brooks and his team have achieved. Before it became an acronym, they embodied ROFL and fell to the ground in joy forever. (New York Times)
