    5/ Our machine-learning based credit score is initially built on historical borrowing activity from the @aave v2 liquidity protocol. Inputs include behaviour and other time-based account attributes enabling us to predict propensity for liquidation in the near future.

    @AliMCollins talks about "working effectively as a team" while actively suing 5 out of 6 other Commissioners and #SFUSD. Farcical! cc @recallsfboe
    Commissioner Alison Collins, who was stripped of her VP title on the SF school board after posting racist tweets against Asian Americans, on why she doesn't support Commissioner Moliga as the board's new VP. Ultimately, the board voted 6-1 to elect Moliga. Collins voted no.
