With all the love and respect in the world, who do you think you're talking about? Emmet Shear is not trans to my knowledge, (nor, I suspect, his knowledge). If you think this was about Mira Murati, you should really get up to date before telling people off about pronouns.

That's a funny idea, but I can't imagine you get past the point of having 4-5 sequential moves without finding a forced mate?

We have that in Sweden too. As an expat it's a complete nightmare for me from day one. Getting my bank to successfully issue it was impossible.

First, in the days before mobile bank-id, they sent windows-only hardware as I recall. Then came the days of letters/cards/hardware getting lost in the mail.

I gave up on it in the end. I have multiple things (banking-wise) I no longer have online access to because of it.

If you're going to make one system to rule them all you need to make sure the logistics actually work.

That's a wonderful theory.

I have a third party which returns errors ~20% of the time outside of working hours (yes, really).

1. Exceptions should be sent to sentry. 2. Exceptions should not be normal. 3. Do not log.

Solve for ability to review & debug after the fact.

It's not unlike the panic buying at the start of the pandemic. The media is driving this hysteria because a) it fits their narrative around brexit, and b) fear & outrage sells.

I don't disagree with what you said, but for context: when these players do speedruns they typically start from 600 ELO and work their way back up to GM, so they face players at every level as part of that 100-game streak.

The tokens issued in this case (on of the few) have a purpose which is not speculation. If large amounts of speculation is undermining the business itself then yes I think that might qualify as a form of abuse? Happy to use an alternative term of your choice, ESL etc.

> Investors only care about getting more press releases out so they can pump up the price of their discounted tokens, which have a shortened lockup period relative to something like stocks. It’s almost like a pump-and-dump scheme for investors.

"almost"

If even useful services are being abused for speculation, it's time to realise the entire space is fundamentally broken. We've already seen massive fraud in the space, it's only a matter of time before people who fundamentally don't understand what they are "investing in" are left holding bags. It will necessarily collapse because of how it's being used. (imo)

The complete lack of sense of scale that is on display when making comparisons between either of those and a one-term clown who will go down as a footnote in history is borderline disturbing.

Get some perspective.

I blows my mind that a company that's sold / leased a few hundred units (?) worth less than $100,000 each is valued at $1 billion.

230 Google workers announce plans to unionize, ftfy

I mean might hope the requirement to provide said meta-analysis would fall on the person making the claim that the criticism is sexist, not on the person saying it might not be?

Just out of interest, what makes you think that nationalising OpenReach would make them deliver a better "customer" experience?

In my personal experience dealing with e.g. HMRC, local councils etc does not offer me much confidence on that front.

The only benefit I can see personally is that there might be less room for error if there's less need for changes as people move in and out of properties.
