Fabian (npub1n0s…lahe) explains that the Hot and Media Gallery feeds in Nostur are ranked based on who you follow, so should not be affected by the “fake likes” many users were seeing recently.
quoting note1l2p…jd0eIn Nostur the Hot feed and Media Gallery are ranked on likes and reposts. If you are wondering if all the fake likes today are messing it up, don’t worry, it’s based only on likes and reposts from people you follow.
WoT fixed this.

LynAlden (npub1a2c…w83a) explains how banks are arbitraging the Fed with the BTFP (Bank Term Funding Program).
quoting note1scl…y0esThe Fed's Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP), the facility that they introduced after the March 2023 banking crisis, now offers lower borrowing rates than the Fed pays in interest on reserve balances.
So, banks are arbitraging this by borrowing from the facility (i.e. from the Fed) at one interest rate, and then depositing that borrowed money with the Fed to earn a higher interest rate, and thus are earning that risk-free spread. They're arbitraging the Fed.
