Being good and profit motives will always be at odds.

AI, Politics, Social Media, and indifference have all played their part. It’s not just the administration. The administration just knows how to manipulate those things.

New comment by reactordev in "Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? My quest to unmask Bitcoin's creator"

reactordev — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 13:36:05 +0000

I doubt anyone who claims to be, to know, or to have seen evidence of, Satoshi Nakamoto.

Journalists see this as their Moby dick story, their Jimmy Hoffa, as the real Satoshi knew that for Bitcoin to work and be taken seriously, he/she/it would have to be anonymous and take no part in it. Truly decentralized.

The only thing stopping everyone is the convenience. Someone already does this? Cool, here’s my credit card. For the Non-US folks, you’re just as capable. Good to see a company like Bunny realize it. It’s just a bunch of computers and some networking, what could go wrong? /s (but seriously, you can do this…)

Adobe has been user hostile since Create Suite launched. Where were you? They have been hiding backdoors in windows machines and Mac machines since at least 2010.

Only if you’re caught. It’s perfectly fine to put your body and life on the line and go paragliding at those altitudes but the moment you strap a headset on for FPV, it’s “illegal”.

It was always about first mover advantage and never about building a sustaining car manufacturer. It was about moving an industry.

Train a generation to min/max stats and then put them in a time box limit and then explain to them why “this is normal”.

The issue is, and always will be, competing views on what these services are for. Most, see them as augments of their normal everyday workflow. Others see it as the tool that allows their creativity to flow as fast as their thoughts do. The problem is the service is more than capable of catering to both but the creative vibe commander will hit those limits far faster. Simply telling them to “take a break” is a kin to those video game screen nags that developers were forced to put into games to remind people to pee.

Welcome to the Authoritarian States of Sycophancy. Or ASS. As we are referred to around the world.

Ummmm… I fly drones at 8,000ft for arial mountain shots… drones are surprisingly capable given good wind conditions.

This is also why LLMs get 80% of the way there and crap out on logic. They were trained on all the open source abandonware on GitHub.

fetch automatically follows redirects, fetch will forward your headers, omitting or rewriting headers is how security breaks… now a scraper got through because it’s masquerading as Chrome.

I was around back then and I call Bullshit on everything you claim. There were more database options in 2000 than there were in 1996. Even before that there was FoxPro… c’mon man. Oracle’s only value was they built a NO EXIT clause into their contracts…

A wrapper function around fetch… that’s what interceptors are…

But you said so yourself they are necessary… otherwise you would just use fetch. This reasoning is going around in circles.

You can do all of that in fetch really easily with the init object.

   fetch('https://api.example.com/data', {
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + accessToken
  }

})
