Funny you mention this because I have a child with (severe) Autism and with so much misinformation out there about Autism I was blown away that her video about this topic was so spot on and incredibly well researched. In particularly she nailed the so called "neurodiversity movement" and its many problems it causes quite well.

Your perspective doesn't seem exactly common in hackernews and I appreciate it.

1) I gotta say though when you talk of "the observer" it throws me off as it sounds like the typical quantum woo twisting of the observer effect, perhaps you meant something else? what do you mean by "the observer"?

2) Regarding "the universe is ordered and can be described with a set of rules. There is no full evidence of this, it's just an assumption." this has proven so far to be a good assumption (as seen by the massive amount of scientific knowledge and verified predictions accumulated) and if anything it seems all evidence points to exactly this. Is there evidence that there the universe is more than just 'a pile of particles'? (although that is a somewhat simplistic way to put it)

3) Trying to distill the comment, it seems the main argument is along the lines of "science can't explain life itself and/or consciousness, therefore there must be more" is that a fair assessment? and in that case what would you convince you of the oposite? for e.g what if "life" is well understood and can be reproduced in a lab etc.. what if we can reproduce most human-like intelligence with AI, etc... in other words, what would (realistically) change your mind to the opposite?

Solidity != EVM & Ethereum.

One can't claim the Web is broken just because a bug was found in one of the many browsers.

There are different solutions for that in the works, from sharding to plasma, etc.. and those have their own challenges & tradeoffs (namely in terms of security, etc..)

However engineering decisions 'on genesis' was over 3-4 years ago and at that time doing a blockchain with smart contracts was already challenge on itself. It's not really fair to take the knowledge and lessons from the present day and claim those in the past without that knowledge made horrible decisions. It's a bit like blaming google for not starting angular 1 with the functionality of angular 4, or saying that John Resig should have created Babel and ES7 features instead of creating jQuery.

Out of curiosity, what "really bad engineering decisions" are those?

This wasn't a flaw with Ethereum itself or its protocol, but rather an issue with one of the its client implementations (go-ethereum), other clients like Parity, Harmony, etc.. are unaffected.

- This update was announced almost 2 years ago from the very beginning - Multiple Discussions in EIPs - Multiple public dev meetings, with youtube recordings, discussions, etc..

Wait you only tried on in 1992?

I tried VR in the 90s as well and did get dizzy after 20 minutes or so. I have a Vive now and The experiences are completely different, worlds apart.

What's the point of the iPhone 8? It's essentially an upgrade to the iphone 7S and that's all.

I know who Gavin Wood is. The fact is he didn't write the change the tweet claimed.
