Description:
During the Global Financial Crisis in 2008, our financial infrastructure failed.
GovernĂ‚Âments bailed out the very institutions that let the economy down. This episode spurred a serious rethink of our financial system. Does it make any sense that it takes two days to settle a stock transaction? Why do retailers, operating on razor thin margins, have to pay 3% for every customer credit card swipe? Why does it take two days to transfer money from a bank account to a brokerage”or any other company? Why are savings rates miniscule or negative? Why is it so difficult for entrepreneurs to get financĂ‚Âing at traditional banks?
In DeFi and the Future of Finance, Campbell R. Harvey, Ashwin Ramachandran and Joey Santoro, introduce the new world of DecenĂ‚Âtralized Finance. The book argues that the current financial landscape is ripe for disĂ‚Âruption and we are seeing, in real time, the reinvention of finance.
The authors provide the reader with a clear assessment of the problems with the current financial system and how DeFi solves many of these problems. The essence of DeFi is that we interact with peers”there is no brick and mortar and all of the associated costs. Savings and lending are reinvented. Trading takes place with algorithms far reĂ‚Âmoved from traditional brokerages.
The book conducts a deep dive on some of the most innovative protocols such as Uniswap and Compound. Many of the companies featured in the book you might not have heard of”however, you will in the future.
As with any new technology, there are a myriad of risks and the authors carefully ca

Cheap and unstable
Size: 4 Panel, Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel, Color: Black
Although this has nothing to do with the product, it arrived a day later than previously stated. Making me have to create a makeshift room divider the day it was actually needed. When the product arrived it arrived in a box that showed no evidence of damage. Once opened, divider was found inside a plastic cover. Great protector for dust or scratching. The divider was fully assembled so there was nothing for me to do but remove it from packaging and use it where needed. After further inspection the divider was not only cheap and flimsy looking it was absolutely unstable. It would wobble and appears to have been assembled in a rush making some panels crooked. I noted significant damage to the bottom portion of some of the panels both front and back. It does not feel like an item worth the price. The color is as advertised and the product had no smell. The sizing was accurate.

Great! This surge protector is well designed and built for specific needs.
Nice surge protector/power strip. Good layout of outlets and the one spaced apart is really good. I also love the fact it comes with not two or three USB outlets, but four of them! This is great because there is plenty of room to plug in other devices. The tiny led lights are very small but do light up enough to see that the device is on. The on/off switch works great too and was a must have for my setup. 5 ft of cord length is just what I needed to mount the strip on the wall. (Install screws included) The flat angled plug for the wall is also just what I needed so the design here is perfect. A great value!

All The Right Features, and Well-Made
This power strip had everything I was looking for: 6 ft. cord, right-angle plug, at least 2 USB ports, white plastic case, wall-mountable, and at least 4 AC power outlets. All of that might sound pretty straightforward, but this TROND power strip is one of the very few models that meets all the criteria.
Here's what I like about power strips in general, and this TROND model specifically:
1. Right-angle plug. A must in my book. Get a right-angle plug whenever possible. They are almost always more convenient and better-looking than straight standard plugs.
2. At least 1 transformer-spaced outlet. If the AC outlets are all too close together, you'll end up sacrificing 1 or 2 of them with a "wall wart" transformer. Just about everybody is plugging in at least one of these outlet-hogging transformers these days.
3. USB power ports. Like transformers, just about everybody has USB-powered stuff to plug in. If you don't have USB ports built into the power strip, then you have to use the USB power adapter which hogs up an AC outlet. I've got at least 2 USB devices to plug into this power strip at any given time, so having the built-in ports is very convenient. Another must in my book.
I also like this TROND model for the little touches that make it a bigger value than the price suggests:
1. Includes mounting screws. What? Wasn't expecting that. Very cool.
2. Includes a template for drilling the mounting holes. What? I've never even seen that before. Even cooler.
3. An actual user's manual - in English - and well-written. That blew me away. I totally don't need a user's manual for a power strip, but it was very classy to see it in the box. Well played, TROND.
4. Expensive-looking power switch and power light. This power strip is much better looking than other cheap strips. The plastic is high-quality and "Apple" looking, the power switch is a cut above the generic switches in this price range, and the power indicator light a slick hidden LED that makes the whole package feel high-end.
I have expensive power strips from Monster, Belkin, and Tripp-Lite, and this TROND unit appears better made and has fancier features. I'll definitely buy another TROND power strip when the time comes.
