Reject overengineering. Go with simple solutions -- they will generalize better, be more robust, and be easier to maintain.

simpel solutions, stop taxing merch, stop lying to artists about costs of putting on shows, include artists in more areas of revenue. the stories i could tell from my years touring are bananas. young artists on tour are the last to see any money.

The Ethereum mainnet has been successfully merged. The merge is now *finalized* and the chain is now Proof of Stake chain. Historical moment for the whole ecosystem. The transition was smooth without pausing the network, without losing any transaction. Well done Ethereum!

"Think of what happens when U turn hot water faucet all way up on cold winter day: The pipes are full of cold water, so it takes time for warm water to get to you – hence term 'pipeline warming.' The warming hasn't been felt yet, but it is in the pipeline" https://t.co/SSSEjotC4O

Clearly, we need a much better distribution of wealth, rent controls to ensure people have more money to spend on food, and other major shifts. But also, and immediately? The best proposal I’ve heard is also the simplest: subsidise the price of fruit and veg at the point of sale.

For those wanting numbers rather than just colours, there are other resources providing that information. Same data presented differently by @IPCC_CH. Having different visualisations of the same data with a range of complexities is helpful to communicate to different audiences.

something very liberating in crypto is that there's no need to argue about things, the market will pick what's best. This doesn't exist in most disciplines, like politics. People there are condemned to go around in circles arguing, since stuff never gets tested.
