Terrible news continues to come out of Hong Kong. I realize people are consumed with so many other issues nowadays (plus many readers aren't old enough to remember) but this is truly upsetting and infuriating--->

It’s been 33 years, and no further instructions from Technotronic. And so I think, with regret, it’s time to deflate the jam.

If you are starting learning Rust, try to follow this rule of thumb: only owned types in fields of your own types, always return owned values unless you're passing through directly from a function argument, clone liberally, derive(Copy) when possible, use Arc/RefCell to unblock.

When I am dead, my dearest,

And if thou wilt, forget.

at least that's the first time I remember it happening. Maybe it happened before and I didn't notice. But I felt no pressure, no expectation. Just a straight-up "can I kiss you?" from someone who I knew would respect it and... yeah.

It was a big lesson for me <3

@zkat__ ("tired but ❄️festive🎄 gay") wrote:

as someone who was not raised in a very consensually-minded environment (think enforced family-hugging/kissing/tickling kind of stuff, not nightmare fuel), the first time someone straight-up asked me if they could kiss me during a date, out loud, was in my mid-20s

It was so hot.

People saying that consent kills their flirting game just don't have any.

"Do you want to kiss me?" Is one of the sexiest, most exciting things you'll ever ask.

“Listen, things aren’t perfect. But you can’t deny that we’ve made a some people rich so far.”

By just taking money from the next set of suckers.

“Perhaps. But I’d rather live in a world where suckers get scammed to the tune if trillions then go to a bank.”

Fair enough.

Look, most people aren’t gonna write smart contracts.

“That’s the beauty. You can use one that’s contributed by the community!”

Okay, but how do I know it’s trustworthy? You said trust wasn’t necessary.

“I never said that. Of course you have to trust that all this just works!”

Okay so… how might we avoid this in the future?

“The important thing about the system is the transparency. Trust is unnecessary because everything is visible!”

Okay who was it that stole millions from these upset people?

“Can’t tell you that. It’s all anonymous. But we know it *was* stolen. Let’s see your big bank do that!”

This new systems seems to be doing a lot of harm. Take a look…

It’s up to trillions in market cap. People are losing their life savings. It’s destabilizing governments.

I’m thinking about this a lot when it comes to crypto. It feels so clear to me that this is happening on a massive scale. So many true idealists are working to enable the harms in the crypto community. When you ask them about that, they hand wave and talk about future ideals.

A friend once told me that the magic of SV is that it’s populated with both sociopaths and idealists who have decided to work together towards a common goal. The idealists often see their vision co-opted into something harmful. The only question is how self-aware they are.
