I'm consistently surprised on certain tech communities including this one's mostly negative view on crypto energy consumption. The positions are typically framed as cryptos transaction cost is wasteful compared to legacy solutions. With crypto though, that cost encompasses the infrastructure AND transaction cost. It's often compared to just the pure transaction cost of say, VISA. What is the HVAC cost to cool and heat every VISA commercial property? What is the energy cost of all their employees commuting to those offices? How efficient is VISA generally as a company, is every manager and IC being cooled and heated and driving to the office actively keeping their transaction cost at a global minimum? Given all that multiplied by every company that is needed to maintain the legacy finance global infrastructure, I'm skeptical that crypto is even worse even if it incorporates wasting energy by design, would like to see any projections/numbers around this if anyone has looked into it with infrastructure energy cost considered in this way.

Please edit your post to remove these words - Granting - starts with Grant, same name as a slave-owning US president Consider - starts with con, (con/ ex-con), used to shame and discriminate against people who have committed crimes but served their sentences Vacuum - often used with sexist connotations suggesting women should be the primary user of this tool as a means of housekeeping Pain - perceived differently by different populations, for instance redheads experience more pain than other hair colors Promote - likely to remind people of unfair corporate ladder practices Atmosphere - seen as a positive for earth dwellers, suggesting we are superior to planets which do not have atmospheres

Surely this supports the poster's statement - they went from the Miura and Countach to todays RGB gamer mouse mobile with a Volkswagen drivetrain - a true Shakespearean tragedy

This already exists if you wish to adopt in the US - just doesn't apply to the other method

All of those things have had extremely perverse incentives leading people to be dishonest for a long time, long before the internet in the case of photo/video (see Loch Ness Monster, Sasquatch video). I don't see how AI tools have much impact. Most people knew this about AOL chatrooms in 1996. Does anyone actually think internet interactions are mostly authentic, or are you speaking on behalf of some imaginary clueless person?

I always enjoyed pretending I was Jude Law's character when I got summoned to jury duty there

It must have been an existing boolean flag he set to true, allowSecret65BillionDollarBackdoor

It's actually the perfect cover: the last place anyone would expect you to hide an alien is directly under a sign that says "alien here." Ingenious of them to pull it off and play up this "tourist attraction" angle.

Are there good records of opinions on 1400s Europeans thoughts on sea exploration or colonial Americans thoughts on exploring the West? Curious to see if these sorts of risk averse, "practical" arguments are mirrored in those times.

Highly recommend Design of Everyday Things by Don Norman.

This is the perfect combination we've been waiting for: safety of a 1980s Honda 3 wheeler ATC, design language of a Rascal Scooter

Is it impossible to dethrone Excel? I feel like almost every SaaS space is heavily inundated with people trying almost every angle to rethink every data visualization and manipulation program, except for the straightforward spreadsheet. Google and Apple with Sheets and Numbers haven't seemed to make any genuine attempt to improve on Excel. I'm aware of Alphasheets which seemed to fizzle out and get acquired, am I missing someone else or is doing a spreadsheet startup just not that exciting?

At least 5 direct reports between a talented engineer working on a critical feature with huge media attention and the leadership? Seems like a lot.

Has anyone worked on a very large Svelte project yet? I work on a large React app in real life, but have been learning Svelte in my off time - there are some nice aspects like the out of the box state management, the syntax and structure is a bit easier to learn than React, but my intuition is a Svelte project would become unwieldy for a very complex app (React class components that are hundreds of lines long with dozens of props/local states are easy for me to read/digest but maybe I'm just used to it, it just doesn't feel to me like this would stay well organized in a .svelte file).

Great work, I am going to fork this into a digital didgeridoo project, or digeridoo for short
