Love seeing CRDT innovation! I'm building something in the space, so excited to give this a try.

The death stroke for these types of projects seems to be lack of funding. This project is sponsored by nlnet[0] providing between 5k - 50k EU per year. Let's hope this gets additional resources.

As a note, it appears to use Elastic's 2.0 license preventing selling software that includes this library [1]

React-DOM will probably just compile to WASM.

Passwordless is going to be great. Though, this is just for unlocking your bitwarden account.

Real cross-device passwordless is likely coming in the next year or so. WebAuthn/Passkey is in its 3rd public working draft[1] and once finalized, we'll likely start to see it across sites. Most devices, browsers and managers have added or are adding support for it: Apple, Microsoft, Google, Auth0, Duo, 1Password, etc. If you haven't seen it, Auth0's demo is helpful[2].

Absolutely, it should include a range of indicators like spam, scams, known-falsehoods and unsubstantiated claims.

Yeah. Andrew Wakefield was stripped of his medical license in 2010 for publishing fraudulent research and it was later discovered that he was paid to discredit the MMR vaccine.[0]

And yet, ~10% of Americas still believe the study. [1]

Attention is not the problem; it's the lack of accountability. Social platforms care about engagement, not quality of content (there's virtually no mechanism to incentivize content meets any standard of quality other than what can be measured in the moment).

Inheritance does not sustain wealth.

> A staggering 70 percent of wealthy families lose their wealth by the next generation, with 90 percent losing it the generation after that.

While I don’t find the arguments in the article compelling (ie population increases are good as they lead to growth), enabling humans to live forever has a more dire consequence: an acceleration of the inequality gap.

Death provides a natural mechanism to reset wealth and power. Without it, power will accumulate to those who already have it, forever.

Hans is clearly cheating. Comparing his past games against what an engine would do is pretty damning. Chess engines are far superior to players and the best players in the world top out in the high 70s percent correlations (Magnus averages around 70%).

Hans has a string of games at 100% correlation[0], meaning he's playing perfect games. Past players who achieved this later went on to admit to cheating[1]. Magnus knows this because he owns part of chess.com and presumably sees the data.

Magnus has a lot riding on his statement. He wouldn't make it unless he was sure.

Titles are just titles. An executive's role changes dramatically as a company scales. CTOs in a 5-person startup are vastly different than CTO at companies with even 100 people (much less 10k or 100k). Great CTOs are capable leaders and will hire more experienced engineers they can rely on.

> One of the key roles of your company’s engineering leadership is to balance working on new features versus maintaining quality and squashing bugs.

Even at companies with 100 engineers, if the CTO is focused on software bugs, there are larger issues at play (i.e., talent density is too low, poor prioritization by product, etc.).

Aditya[0] seems has experience here, but he's likely addressing the market of early-stage startups where he advises.

Love this! I use Horo[0] to set timers for myself, but this fits the use-case I have far better. Just picked up the yearly plan.

I would love to see the current timer in my mac status bar to see time remaining at a glance.

Congrats on the launch!

The climate argument against crypto is FUD. The entire crypto mining industry contributes less than 0.5% to global pollution. You can do more by getting rid of your refrigerator.

correct me if i'm wrong, but it sounds like the monetization strat here is to sell this to companies for their teams to use to increase collaboration. it would follow then that most-everything (?) i'm doing is being mirrored to a remote server. presumably, your target market would be engineers.

if true, as an engineer, i'm a hard pass.

Is it just me or does Mozilla’s strategy seem confusing? New color management is good I guess… But does it drive growth? Are they trying to compete with Chrome? I don’t get it.

if you’re enabling fraud, stripe will shut you down.

bc their target market is not developers

Web3 has many reasons it could fail. I choose to be optimistic.

> The truth is no online database will replace your daily newspaper, no CD-ROM can take the place of a competent teacher and no computer network will change the way government works.

NFTs. $3000/hr

It still floors me to see such bearish opinions like this. It demonstrates how intelligent people can be completely wrong about the future, and it signals how early we are in the adoption curve for crypto.

The ability to print money and misrepresent the value of the dollar (i.e., CPI, GDP) combined with incentives for personal enrichment should be evidence enough that government-controlled currencies is not the scalable solution we thought it was.

We're about to experience inflation like we've not seen in the US in a long time and the resulting transfer of wealth and increase in inequality will be a catalyst for the adoption of crypto.

I hope to see you all there.

for those not in the space:

1/ this introduces game theory in a larger way on-chain. there's a lot of appeal for this. most people believe this is the next wave of nft innovation and there are a number of copy cat projects being built right now.

2/ it's had a number of missteps around the contract code. the project was exploited once and another was uncovered recently requiring the team to halt the game.

This is the problem. When ads are your primary revenue stream, you're up against facebook and google, who are both highly efficient at turning marketing dollars into conversions.

How would you complete with this? Why would anyone spend 10x on you to get the same conversions?

Two recommendations:

1/ The Bioneer - Current research on improving intelligence/working memory - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsGFCg72zoA&list=PLZo07XrNsS...

2/ Huberman Lab podcast - A deep dive into the mechanisms of our brain and body - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-focus-to-change...

I have the opposite problem. I keep moving the goal post. My goals seem to change as my perspective changes. To a point where I feel like I will never accomplish everything I want to.

Seems like LIFE IS and DEATH should just be pulled out so the last section reads like:

I AM NOT AFRAID BECAUSE I KNOW THAT MY NEW LIFE WILL BE AN EASY ONE IN PARADICE

LIFE IS DEATH

As a note, there’s another compensation review that takes place after hiring committee.

1/ Google Analytics uses 1st-party cookies since their scripts execute directly on websites. 2/ Chrome relays its own browsing data.

Hasan Minhaj has a great segment on some of the NRA's global footprint.
