The case for doing what they did is that it helped a lot of people access books (eg school curriculum ones) in the middle of Covid (not everyone knows how to pirate things).

Not saying it was the right move but you can see where they're coming from, they wanted to help people.

Can you expand a bit on the quality of Google's internal practices with user data? eg what would an engineer on Google Photos need to do to be able to access my photos, if possible at all

No one repping the old drop sort. Just returns the first item of the list, which happens to be an ordered list. Simples.

Yep, accounting for carbon offshoring lowers the difference (US emissions gain 7% if you count consumption not just production, and China's lose 14%) but it still holds that China emits more per capita.

It's much easier to move teams than move companies, so worth having a look around at other adjacent teams you could move to.

New comment by ernopp in "I am often asked if I will “return to cryptocurrency”"

ernopp — Thu, 15 Jul 2021 14:21:34 +0000

It's from Preston Byrne (added this in my original comment).

The reason I think it's relevant is that posts like Palmer's attack only the "scam side" of crypto (the 99%) without acknowledging the "new paradigm" (1%) side

Yes there are scams, yes there are pumps and dumps, yes there are insiders who control too much liquidity. But you also have to do justice to the promise of the tech.

It was not previously possible for anyone with an internet connection to take out a loan via a decentralised protocol (MakerDAO), or exchange assets via a decentralised contract (Uniswap), or have a digital proof of authenticity (NFTs). And all of this without middle-men taking fees, opaque leverage throughout the system (see Archegos) and gating access to only certain participants (the richer half of the world who have a bank account).

These days I tend to send skeptical folk this writeup on the problems with centralised finance, and associated DeFi solutions: https://john-street-capital.medium.com/fintech-3-0-re-archit...

Nice post.

For permanent storage you should check out https://www.arweave.org/ rather than IPFS + centralised pinning services like Pinata. With Arweave you pay a small upfront fee to have the network store your file forever.

It's the promise of IPFS+Filecoin but actually live and being used (eg by the Internet Archive). There's some decent tooling & docs for it too: https://github.com/ArweaveTeam/arweave-deploy

Edit: Filecoin is also live and being used, I was out of date. https://docs.filecoin.io/store/
