@polotek @Grady_Booch @GergelyOrosz As you wish. The ethical-ness in these cases is blurry. Ethics and norms are not a well defined things. Each org. sets their own rules. Clearly you and Booch see Facebook’s ethics as lacking, but the next guy may not.

If your car wouldn't start and the mechanic told you "well there's nothing wrong with it" you wouldn't be happy there was nothing wrong with your car, you'd be mad because the car still isn't starting and if you don't know what's wrong, you can't start trying to fix it

Why is it like this? Because the person implementing it was bad?

It was lazy, but turns out they didn't have a contact about how to provision a new sender. So they left it default for later.

Operational Excellence and Security are the same thing. One cannot be without the other

PoS:
- buy coins
- pick a validator to delegate to
- stake them

PoW:
- buy (bit)coins
- send your (bit)coins to Bitmain
- wait for Bitmain to send you an Antminer
- secure facility and electrical power
- select mining pool to participate in
- recoup your initial investment

PoW is fundamentally more decentralized and censorship-resistant than PoS. With PoW, cheap energy is the strongest determining factor in participating in transaction selection. With PoS, wealth is the determining factor. Cheap energy is far more distributed than wealth.

In the US:
- 90% of people aged 65+ are vaccinated
- 50% of people aged 12-64 is vaccinated

That means 50% of a pretty broad age range (12-64) is unvaccinated.

If you’re seeing no masks in sight then you’re seeing unvaccinated people unmasked. A lot of them, in fact.

We stand in solidarity with the Cuban people and condemn the suppression of the media, speech and protest.

We also call for an end to the U.S. embargo and additional Trump-era restrictions that are profoundly contributing to the suffering of Cubans.
