This isn't the win crypto thinks it is. Its a lukewarm response at best... sounds more like he is regurgitation PR talking points from his team, then any foundation belief of the underlying.

The Veggies:
Chop up onions, red peppers, zucchini into larger pieces.
Season how u like
(Example: add olive oil, half a squeezed lemon, fresh garlic, basil, oregano, rosemary, taragon, sumac, salt, pepper)
We sometimes add hatch chilies and/or eggplantPut tin foil down, throw veggies on top and grill.
Simple guacamole:
Avocado, lemon/lime juice, saltGrilled Halloumi Cheese:
Grill half a lemon.
Cut up the Halloumi in 6-8 even pieces and grill it on the tin foil.
Squeeze the grilled lemon over the cheese. (Optional: do the last step with the cheese in a Grill HOT cast iron pan so the juices from the lemon sizzles into the cheese)Naan bread warmed up on the grill.
Take the nana bread, spread guacamole on it add the Halloumi cheese, meat and veggies. Sooo good.

Websites that used to be my 'home page' and checked daily, Digg, Facebook, Android(because Google killed too many tools I used) soon to be Reddit . I can already see a world where the internet is broadly unusable. Filled by the dross of LLM gobbledygook that becomes more and more inauthentic as the LLM's eats itself and crowds everything else out.

Comment on An article from 2006 that aged a little too well: Digital sharecropping in ~tech
RapidEyeMovement Link ParentUser content is going to become harder to generate as the demographic shift continues to age out the millennials.

(they just wont have time to produce it anymore with other life responsibilities).
I really think this API push rush is about LLM data gold rush. They want to get in the business of charging for access to their dataset. Like Twitter.
I am going to go through and edit and delete all my post before deleting my account. Yes I am sure they will still use my data, might as well make it harder for them. (weird Side note I went throught and deleted all my old post and then deleted the account of a account I had abandoned. On the next account tried to do the same thing but it wasn't letting me delete any of my post on the second account...)
Really the way to make this all go away for reddit is to say if you use the API like a vaccum just sucking up data and not producing content you are charged at one tier. And if your additive to the community you get charged at a lower rate.

Just because crypto anarcho capitalist think they can skirt the law doesn't make it a reality.
Also to be pedantic, Federal Reserve is technically Independent from US Government.
The Crypto use case to me, is to create a system(s) that does not require 15-25% of Global GDP to be caught up in sustaining the global monetary system. Those global resources are better spent in other areas.

This is a know problem in the crypto space and there are a verity of SOLutions. From the BTC centric lightning network to high Transaction Per Second block chains.
There are projects out there that are attacking all problems out there that this thread mentions. I only have a slightly deeper understanding than the casual observer. So there are better resources out there then me.

Comment on WandaVision | Episode 9 discussion thread in ~tv
RapidEyeMovement Link ParentThis is why, I feel, I cannot watch Westworld, it is like half the story is told outside of the world, or that the threads are so thin, I need someone to take me through it step by step. Which is...comb over every detail with a fine toothed comb so that they can project what's going to happen. I absolutely abhor this; people who do this take away a lot of the suspense and the magic of simply not knowing.

Comment on Google’s Stadia problem? A video game unit that’s not Googley enough in ~games

I don't see myself investing my time in learning any Google product again...While Stadia didn’t seem to follow the traditional Google playbook, without some drastic changes it could still face a pretty Googley outcome: being added to the long list of products that Google has killed.

Al Barlett on Growth and Sustainability
This means you cannot be replaced by one person. If your employer had to go out today to the job market there is no one who could fill your shoes, it would probably take 2-3 people to do it. Probably people adjacent to you absorbing some of what you do if they can. And hiring for what cannot be done by those around you. (I would hope your employer has already thought that part through).
I built myself a little fifedom like that at my old job, as long as you are happy where you are ,but it can be hard to move up the ladder when you are doing this.
I left because I was burned out, being pulled in 20 directions, I doubled down on the areas that I wanted to grow, and looked for a roles with those challenges.
I guess one way to figure out your worth would be to ask yourself what would happened if you left tomorrow how would your employer cope. Who could take up your project management role, what do they get paid and how much of their time would be taken up doing it. (Salary/time) Do that for each of your specializations. This might give you a rough estimate of your worth.
