Kids who can't afford fancy computers grow up into rich adults who have no nostalgia towards your game franchise

That's really interesting. I'm not brain damaged (at least not more than most people, heh) but I always had a pretty strong preference for higher refresh rate screens. They just seem calmer to me. Never had an issue with dimming but I'll take your anecdote as a canary in the coal mine on DC vs PWM. It's probably better for everyone to avoid flickering even if we don't notice there's a problem.

> States have people with guns that enforce laws (...) How does a DAO do this?

The same way the state does it: Paying them money.

> officials who willingly leave office when they lose elections or are fired

I don't think that will be hard in a DAO since the real power is with the DAO, not with any official acting on its behalf.

Anyway these kinds of questions and many more are why we need this playground, to discover all the edges and gotchas and find solutions.

Can even put a button on the end. Something dramatic like a nuclear launch button.

I bought my first 4k@120 monitor this year. Huge TV that doubles as PC screen. The first time I've bought a TV and the first time I've spent that much on a monitor. My graphics card can't keep up (I'd need a GPU as expensive as the screen) but playing games at 1080p works fine. The 4k resolution is most appreciated when I do desktop stuff.

I think 4k@120 monitors are entering more people's price range and many will choose one on their next upgrade cycle.

There are also EVM-compatible coins now with better L1 scalability and defi swaps and bridges between ETH and these coins

> crypto exchanges, gambling, or more cryptocurrencies (such as ERC-20 based ones on the Ethereum blockchain).

These are the building blocks of more interesting stuff that will come later.

I will continue to cheer on the criminals until it's normal for companies to have good information security.

Because there are so many companies who deserve derision. Not all companies of course.

I partly agree with both of those sentiments. I think DAOs have the potential to replace nations and cryptocurrency's most revolutionary use case at the moment is being a playground for innovation in governance.

The recommender algorithms cater to the dumbest common denominator, i.e. content with the broadest appeal (no niche stuff) to the most active internet users (people with way too much spare time).

And it doesn't unmount partitions when you shut down so if you use Windows one day and Linux the next you have to boot up Windows first and then reboot into Linux so that Windows will unmount its partitions, otherwise Linux can't mount them.

One of my friends stays at his current company where he has stayed for years, despite only getting low single-digit pay increases each year.
