I imagine unpopular opinion, but I don't like the React design or syntax, its adoption was one of the reasons it made me move away from front-end. I'd rather Valdi and other efforts have a different opinionated design and syntax, less over-engineering and more fun.

Clickbait title aside. I find that ethical issues around AI raised by Musk etc. shouldn't be around AI taking over the planet, but rather have ethics around overfitted models or otherwise unrealistic models being pushed for PR or whatever and responsibly playing with people's health and hopes.

Some do, although I too prefer non-root but used it for the simplicity of the example.

Even simpler for some use cases:

`ssh -D 1080 -C -q -N root@your-vps`

Same here, hopefully it's not a pre-acquirement move and instead be more aligned in the future like you said.

Various banking (sub)systems break all the time. We just never get any postmortems or public apologies.

This reminds me the saying "Never admit a wrongdoing and you'll never be wrong".

It's great that we get several of those new startup banks (Monzo, N26 etc.) that provide superior experience and slowly show what horrible things traditional banks were getting away with.

That's just "decentralization" by obscurity. (emphasis on the quotes)

That aside, the main problem isn't centralization but rather the trust level. The point is to not have to trust someone isn't serving you the false data. Contracts must be created and ran only when the data can be cryptographically verified to be true.

There are no trustless oracles if any of the required data are outside of the settlement system (e.x. blockchain). Even when the data are inside, you still have cases of collusion that make things problematic.

People are trying to sell something that's close to impossible. Especially when they try to add infinite flexibility on it. Even with the currently low stakes there have been incidents of "oracles" getting compromised. There are several strategies to try and camouflage a centralized oracle to a faux decentralized entity but eventually if stakes get high enough, your entity will become a target and it'll become once again obvious what's happening.

Thank you, although I'm looking for a high-quality printed reproduction/book, not digital.

Anyone found a high-quality printed edition of these? I only found a couple fragmented versions with questionable quality.

I'm quite surprised by the number of comments on Sass/CSS pre-processors being of little to no value while we have created a huge complicated Frankenstein mess with webpack/React and the rest.

Correction: low liquidity of the majority of cryptocurrencies/tokens. BTC has by far the best liquidity among the cryptocurrencies.

Sony had their cloud gaming phase back on 2012 when they acquired Gaikai for $380m. Not sure what happened with them, maybe it was before its time.
