In Dragnet there's a scene where the protagonist rants about "kids these days" and one of the examples he points out is instant orange juice.

The people who complain the most about kids not reading don't read. It's a lot like how boomers complained about TV rots your brain then have spent decades doing nothing but watching TV and demonstrating their brains rotting.

CharlestheHammer posted:I mean that quote has nothing to do with youth, it’s the most tech bro thing ive ever read I've heard more or less the same sentiment from an elderly relative of my wife's who insists that there's noting worth knowing that can't fit into a magazine article, anything more is a frivolous waste of time better spent working or praying. It's pretty standard anti-intellectual tripe: people who delve into these topics are just wasting time with hot air when they could apply common sense and write it shorter, no topic is complex enough to need that kind of explanation, and complex topics aren't worth exploring or understanding when you could be doing "real" work instead, with the definition of real hinging on what their particular ideological angle is.

If only Satoshi had limited his whitepaper to six paragraphs, maybe we as a society wouldn't have burned thousands of TWh on imaginary spacecoins.

I'm kinda late to this FTX thing, but did they pretty much do the same thing that Full Tilt Poker did that caused the government to pretty much ban online poker? (Using customer funds to pay out employees/advertisements?) quote:Instead of keeping players’ funds segregated, the room used them for day-to-day expenses, including paying dividends (often to the tune of seven figures) to top-level pros for their representation.

How can I trust that this is valuable unless they follow the tradition of destroying the original after minting to create a media buzz around the NFT?

ultrafilter posted:Nah, cocaine dealers want cash. gently caress, if the cartel actually got into using crypto, there wouldn't be any more rug pulls or instant collapses. After the first one that would happen, and the video of its owner being chainsawed decapitated gets out shortly after, that would be it. Crypto would be more regulated than banks.

Lol at that promotional video where half of it was the host slobbering over his Toyota corolla as SBF piously murmured that he had no need of a Lamborghini to save the world. *tappity tappity* according to my utilitarian moral calculus I simply must save the world from the penthouse suite, of course I can't effectively lead humanity into the future from the ground floor being distracted by all those footstep sounds from the ceiling all the time
