"An Outside Context Problem was the sort of thing most civilisations encountered just one, and which they tended to encounter rather in the same way a sentence encountered a full stop."
Shades of Douglas Adams there...

Where's the technology in WeWork?
What are the chances it's a placeholder for malicious/trojan code intended to steal Libra coins? (c.f. the event-stream backdoor[2])
So... How is this not literally a crime?
Which classes?

It wouldn't surprise me if a Western government (probably the UK's) considers introducing legislation to require exactly this in the not-too-distant future, most likely under the guise of preventing the spread of extremist propaganda.
If they do, companies like Facebook and YouTube will face a choice between acceding to the new regulation or incurring punitive fines. Guess which option most of them will choose?
The only way we can prevent George Orwell's vision from becoming a reality is if we build a more decentralised web. However, that also threatens the walled gardens' revenue streams.

It's so difficult to give frank, negative feedback without coming across as an asshole but, sometimes, it's necessary.
"Constructive" feedback only goes so far. Sometimes people need to be told that their work is bad, so that they can improve. Accepting mediocrity in order to avoid hurting someone's feelings is doing them a disservice in the long run.
I wonder why they didn't pick Metapistol.
With stocks, the question of what the borrower is expected to cover will be addressed in the loan agreement. For example, here is a relevant paragraph from the 2010 Global Master Securities Lending Agreement:
Where the term of a Loan extends over an Income Record Date in respect of any Loaned Securities, Borrower shall, on the date such Income is paid by the issuer, or on such other date as the Parties may from time to time agree, pay or deliver to Lender such sum of money or property as is agreed between the Parties or, failing such agreement, a sum of money or property equivalent to (and in the same currency as) the type and amount of such Income that would be received by Lender in respect of such Loaned Securities assuming such Securities were not loaned to Borrower and were retained by Lender on the Income Record Date.
Here are some relevant definitions of terms used in the paragraph above:
Income Record Date, with respect to any Securities or Collateral, means the date by reference to which holders of such Securities or Collateral are identified as being entitled to payment of Income;
Income means any interest, dividends or other distributions of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Securities or Collateral;

Underneath that pie chart, there is a caption: "Transparent value (stored in t-addresses) vs shielded value (stored in z-addresses), in ZEC." In other words, that pie chart shows the number of ZEC that are currently residing in transparent vs shielded addresses at the specific point in time that you load that page.
The Advanced Network Stats page - https://explorer.zcha.in/statistics/network - has a box labelled "Shielded Transaction Percentage", which indicates what percentage of transactions involve a shielded value. You can see more details for different amounts of time on https://explorer.zcha.in/statistics/usage

One potential solution is to periodically require that all coins be unshielded (i.e. sent to a t-address) and passed through a turnstile mechanism (thus allowing them to be counted). After a reasonable amount of time, a new consensus rule kicks in that prevents coins from being spent unless/until they've been put through the turnstile. That would effectively allow for a full audit of the monetary base without compromising privacy.
