Looks like aside from fartscroll they also tried to add a konami code. I couldn't trigger it though.

You're thinking of the Coatul. It will reward everyone who knew of Roko's Basilisk but choose not to raise it. So the more people who know of the Coatul the less likely Roko's Basilisk will come to pass.

Folks should vote no just to let him crater it and we can all move on.

Yes, but Twitter is free and everyone who cares to know will find out there relatively quickly.

If you're really serious about the game, you're in the Discord (which theirs was on fire the whole time and had to go read-only).

The single greatest thing government affiliated groups like USDS, 18f, etc could do to boost hiring is to stop requiring employees to move to DC.

Matt Cutts did a pretty decent job given the circumstances. I'm looking forward to Mina Hsiang bringing in a new wave of changes.

IPFS attempts to solve one set of problems and is pretty good at it. There has certainly been more adoption as NFTs have used them as a storage layer. Also it's not entirely strange to see people start to use Github Actions to publish straight to IPFS as part of their webdev flow.

However, there are other good projects in a similar space. Hypercore protocol being one of them.

While IPFS has pushed ahead in field, I suspect they'll end up being the Netscape of decentralized tech. It's still early days.

Exactly my first concern.

The surest sign that Brave has made it is that 3 hours in, we aren't seeing a rush of rebuttals from Sampson, Clifton, or Eich in the comments.

The article rehashes some FUDy and misleading comments which have been knocked down years ago.

Brave's not perfect, but for different reasons than this author raises.

While it is given a brief nod in the paper, it is worth reiterating:

WFH during a global pandemic is not the same as WFH generally.

I say this as someone who has been remote for years.

Run this same study starting in September (barring huge Delta variant outbreak in the US) and you'll see a totally different set of numbers.

Misleading title. FTA "We find that the Texas reopening had little impact on stay- at-home behavior or on foot traffic at numerous business locations, including restaurants, bars, entertainment venues, retail establishments, business services, personal care services, and grocery stores," Dave et al. write.

So despite 'reopening' people stayed home. That is why it had no discernible impact.

Let's hope that this means VW will actually deliver on the ID Buzz in 2023.
