A bit frustrating but unsurprising considering everything else this week!
Additionally, I found myself scrolling to the next interactive instead of reading anything inbetween, I'm sure it will result in a good viral effect, but maybe ? not so much on conversions
maybe a call to action? "Music is fun, know what else is fun? investing with us ->" or something like that
Except after all that, the mods still systematically remove useful information from titles, Which in turn means that the moderation methods arn't changed to benefit the userbase, which means, why bother emailing anyways?
And it wasn't a question, it was a request
While it does make it harder to share things directly, its well worth the hassle
579 Words across 26 sentences, about someone saying a total of 3 words.
> it reaches the unfun point of people searching for dictionaries so they can have the winning definitions of words, as opposed to discussing the core aspects.
No one wants to play, "X does Y" "Oh but actually X is (a different definition of X)"
Its argument baiting, and its also wrong, Neuroscience doesn't have a stance on the philosophical questions of consciousness, And the philosophical questions of consciousness majorly assume that it exists.
> Electricity and neurotransmitters slosh around and cause those things.
Thats parts of my meatbag of an entity, which is recognized by most governments, and almost every person in the world, to be "me", to be the person that I am, everyone agrees this is a fine definition, but whatever.
This arbitrary meatbag with energy in it makes a noise, the god meatbag does not make a noise.
A brick makes a noise when its dropped, god doesn't
Atoms interact with one another via their forces, god doesn't
Its the exact same statement as before just with some words changed over. There is no value add to this.
By concluding that humans are as real as dirt and bricks brings god no closer to evidence.
Except I can scream really loud, god can't
I effect things, the invisible dragon doesn't effect things, just going "both of these are invisible" misses the point of that, IMO

But then we can go with "oh but people obviously are affected by god la it changes how they act and how they reason" or "What is effecting things actually, does anyone but you know you exist? is anyone else real?" or other such stuff but, it reaches the unfun point of people searching for dictionaries so they can have the winning definitions of words, as opposed to discussing the core aspects.
Mathematicians don't seek to make their proofs as over the top complicated as possible, bringing in multiple schools of thought, just to say if X is or is not equal to God.

God is meant to have presence in everyone's life, yet, for my perspective and I imagine for the perspective of others, he doesn't. So either he doesn't, or he is hiding, if he is hiding, he probably has a good reason to, probably doesn't want the worship.
> Fundación PostgreSQL “allows [their trademarks] to be used freely, under all provisions of goods and services covered by the respective Nice classifications, under the registered designations, provided that its use constitutes a fair use aligned with the Goals of the Foundation as specified in its Statutes"
Doesn't seem to give anyone a useful trademark, well except for an anarchist perhaps!
What metrics are there that indicate long term trust in NFTs? How many % NFTs no longer point to any existant information? How many % NFTs legally relate to ownership of something?
People acting like saying "I own this house, signed, me" means that they are entitled to the entire value of a house, And well, sure, Dollars are like that with "I own X worth of gold not really, signed the government", but we already have funny fiat, we already have funny cryptocurrencies with zero backing value, now we have funny cryptocurrency thingamabobs with zero backing value.
How is this ever more than re-inventing a re-invented re-invented re-invented wheel? Why should one care this time, other than to ride the pump and dump?
store to extension-managed DB (e.g. flatfiles in the home directory, or shunted onto something managed with LDAP, or loaded onto some weird coin thing on a local light node, or etc),
or in environments where extensions are fussy / overcomplicated, store to another website via a http api (la https://remotestorage.io/, or if one wants to overcomplicate it again, a remotestorage-to-weird-blockchain-thing-shim)

For the article itself, deriding web3 as "Money websites" and then basically asking for "Lightweight money websites" is a bit pointless. Storing stuff on "Money" is a big overhead, If you were to decide to write your data onto a gold ingot, you'd probably not enjoy the process of going to the bank safe deposit box each time to make a change or read a change, likewise, money websites are going to be encumbered with risk, endless layers of crypto math un-understanding, and stress.
Don't worry, someone might make a contract to provide that fine grained API you want, and that contract might not have bugs, and the tooling used might not be able to be tricked to use some other contract as an api since you know, decentralized, shouldn't be able to use only 1 implementation right
Or, if you remove money from the equation, like, hell, replace it with text files or something, even if users need to exchange text files with each other to update each other's pages (ok a bit overkill, webrtc should suffice, still requires both people online at the same time though), it still removes a lot of emotional stress
Or, a pyramid scheme with a product to make it legal, la Multi Level Marketing?
Except even MLM people might see a payout, with this it only goes into discounts
Considering the further legal issues on that, and the relative lack of innovation, hard pass.
Some platforms upgrade emoji to stickers when used solo (telegram for example)
there isn't anything majorly special about them on any platform AFAIK
Even though unpaid in the programming field, very much a professional IMO.

> “0.00%-0.03% of all child COVID-19 cases resulted in death”
Don't forget to then consider the chance of the likely two guardians of the child, who would likely implicitly get covid as well, and then don't forget the % that they will require treatment, in turn taking treatment away from others when resources are stretched as they have been
Kinda worth making some drama about it, no?
Unless you are going to go to NASA lengths of hardware reliability, you can't really hope much for the software that has to deal with the issues of... how many different android phones are there?
I don't think that premise has changed in such a short time, though I could be wrong.
Luckily this seems restricted to what is being done through online services, like other platforms which replace singular emoji with the equivalent stickers while still keeping a separate emoji font for when they are used as part of a message
