> On the other hand, someone doing the work to find coins seems better than nobody doing that work and having them lay in the ground.

Taking the coins from the ground isn't the important part, its the scientific analysis in context that provides insight into the place's history. A coin in itself doesn't tell much, a lot of the same were probably found before.

It would be better for the sites to be explored properly later on. If it was a first come, first serve kind of thing, there wouldn't be anything left for future technology.

I think threads, used sparingly, are nice. They're good to have semi-private messages, so you can keep the more irrelevant conversation that would normally go to PM public and searchable, while not spamming the channel. They're also good for support channels, to have a thread per support message.

Finally we have good alternatives to Airtable coming out! I'm really liking where this is going.

If your data is reasonably valuable, it will be impossible to deter a minimally invested developer armed with puppeteer (with some modifications), residential proxy services, and captcha solving (way less than a cent per captcha). Most sites that attempt to do it hinder their users more than they do the scrapers.

It's way cheaper than that, you'll pay significantly less than a cent for each captcha.

I don't think there's more psychopathic tendencies in those positions because it's a necessity to being a successful leader. I think a lot of people crave power, and with a disregard for morals and other people in general, it's easier to attain it. Good people also make good leaders, they just need more luck and hard work to get there without kicking on everyone across their path.

Chess AI can play like humans, and win consistently (stockfish), and it can also play in completely novel ways, and win even more (alphazero)

> Who cares if the server is not ?

Well... if E2EE is properly implemented, you could be broadcasting your messages on twitter and you'd still be safe.

I'm thinking the iPhone 12 Mini is going to be very popular. I see a lot of people on older iPhones refusing to switch to the monster phones.
