when i was growing up, there was an extremely popular kids book called “harmful tips”. its (joking) premise was that kids always do the opposite of what they’re told, so a book that tells them all the wrong things will surely set the kids on right path. harmful tips by Grigory Oster
this one stayed w me:

if you’re biking at the full speed
midway though apartment hallway
and your dad has left the bathroom
and appeared in front of you,

do not turn into the kitchen,
for that fridge is firm and heavy!
better crash into your father,
he is soft. he will forgive. A dad with a bike running i...
do not agree with anyone
no matter what the cost,
call out the cowardice in those
who have agreed with you,

then you will earn so much respect
from everyone around,
and you will have so many friends
no matter where you go. an illustration of a lonely...

is there a science fiction novel where there are many parallel worlds but people in some of them use this knowledge to covertly A/B test major decisions (eg policy) across worlds
answer: a whole lot
i guess a bunch of these are more “personal choice” whereas i’m thinking more like meta-world scientists being able to run controlled experiments and write papers about the parallel worlds

if you’re curious, i’m trying to fix this bug in react. it comes up when using code splitting with react router <Switch> and other cases. it’s been reported a while ago. it’s easy to work around so it wasn’t urgent but i wanted to look into it for a while. github.com/facebook/react…
the submitter of the issue was kind enough to send a pull request with a minimal failing test encapsulating the issue. this alone has significantly increased the chances that i would be able to find the bug. (when in doubt, send a failing test!) github.com/facebook/react…

one of the most obnoxious traits of the “web3” community is labeling existing web experts as “web2 people”. it’s disingenuous because web expertise is usually related to frontend, and “web3” apps, from what i understand, still build UI the same way — HTML, CSS, and JS.
from what i can tell, “web3” is a different approach to building the backend and a different set of values/philosophies. if y’all hope to attract the frontend expertise you desperately need to make your stuff usable, consider not making asses of yourselves by labeling outsiders.
the “web3” branding is, in my opinion, genius and designed to be polarizing. it implies obsolescence and induces FOMO. but it’s just that, a branding. unless you literally reinvent the browser, don’t get too carried away excluding people :)

i have questions about crypto, web3, and the surrounding ecosystem. i’m gonna thread these. please feel free to reply! but don’t start arguments and fights with other people who reply or i’ll use the banhammer.
1. what is bitcoin’s plan to solve its energy consumption problem? is that on the radar of the team/community? is that considered a non-problem / “worth it”? asking specifically about bitcoin
2. why is there a lot of skepticism around ethereum’s move to PoS? is it because it’s been continually pushed back, or is there skepticism that it will work at all? both?
