Ah yeah faces with same color as background and low opacity sounds like a good approach.
Here's an editable copy of the code if anyone sees this and wants to try adding the faces - https://jsfiddle.net/t0crk5do/

Oh yeah that would look cool…
Possibly transparent faces of the cube with a particular `mix-blend-mode` that leaves the background color alone but dims letters that get behind it?
(That's just a wild guess, I don't know if it's actually possible.)

Some commenters on HN and Twitter were curious how I made the spinning diagrams in a previous thing I wrote, so 8 months later I finally wrote down an explanation.

Yeah this conversation feels very car-centric (understandably so, since much of the world and especially the US is currently overrun with cars, but still sad)

Exactly, almost everyone mentions awful commutes, but if you have a short walk or bikeride through a beautiful city to start and end your work day, then I think it's pretty great. (Even then I like flexibility to only go in ~3 days a week.)

I see these defaced plates quite often—there seems to be no consequence for breaking the law this way, despite the loss of revenue, and presumably more dangerous streets.

> After a bull market run it generally takes 5-10 years to reach its peak again.
Bitcoin has only existed for 14 years—seems a bit early to generalize anything based on the two times it has peaked and crashed so far.

Google and Facebook are both advertising companies, doesn't seem that different to me.
