@MTCNamibia I bought airtime online and my card was charged but I never received the airtime. I'm still waiting for updates from support. Why is it taking this long to refund the affected clients?

@ThePrimeagen you might want to check that plow handles coordinated omission, otherwise use vegeta rather

@MacroAlf what do you recommend reading to understand the bond market?

[Oliver Powell @greywolve]

@cmuratori @DKedmey More like you have an opinion of what you think a bad design is, focusing only on one narrow aspect and ignoring everything else. :)

[Oliver Powell @greywolve]

@cmuratori @DKedmey How do you define practical consensus ?

[Oliver Powell @greywolve]

@cmuratori @DKedmey Humans will always make these things messy. It’s foolish to think any tech can magically fix that. This is engineering within human constraints and both cited networks remain operating.

[Oliver Powell @greywolve]

@cmuratori @DKedmey Hardcoding a sequence of random numbers for the first final fantasy wasn’t terrible engineering in the same way.

[Oliver Powell @greywolve]

@cmuratori @DKedmey Failed to solve the _theoritical_ consensus problem. Practically the solution has done the job thus far and the proof is in the pudding.

[Oliver Powell @greywolve]

@cmuratori @DKedmey Good engineering finds a solution that satisfices within a set of constraints in order to deliver practical value.

[Oliver Powell @greywolve]

@cmuratori @DKedmey I’d think after all those interviews you’d have a more complex perspective. :)

@cmuratori @DKedmey Why is Bitcoin terrible engineering?

[Oliver Powell @greywolve]

@bbatsov I like @cdixon 's way of thinking about this:

Web 1: read only
Web 2: read/write
Web 3: read/write/own

I dismissed Web 3 for years, at my peril.

@PeterMcCormack @haidut what's your opinion? @PeterMcCormack consider the Ray Peat inspired community as one potential information filter. :)

[Oliver Powell @greywolve]

@cmuratori Awesome, looking forward to that. I'd love to see you interview @saylor , and for a better contrarian opinion, @ProfSteveKeen .

[Oliver Powell @greywolve]

@cmuratori I'm enjoying your crypto interview series. Are you only interviewing technical guests?

@OctoFibre seems down in the blouberg area

@OctoFibre @coolideas_ZA Up again, but really slow
