Exactly 14 years ago , Satoshi Nakamoto designed the most pathetic / inefficient system ever invented by humankind : the blockchain. Today, it weights 60 000 tons, wastes constantly 10 gigawatts (more than Belgium or Chile) to process less than 7 transactions per second : Less than a 33 bps modem from 1990. This could be a joke if it didn't have such gigantic environmental impact, wasn't enabling billion dollars ransomware industry and was not crushing thousands of lives in the process.
It’s funny how tech billionaires used to be liberal and woke then they got bored with the act and took their masks off.

Idk why everyone is talking about gender segregation in chess today (and I don't care, so don't answer), but it's interesting to see the discussion veering accidentally close to the real question, which is "why is any competition gender segregated?" Is it 1) because men are obviously superior to women so it would be unfair to women to make them compete with men? Or maybe it's 2) the patriarchy dictates that a man must never have to lose to a woman. It's a mystery.

New blog post inspired by @shanselman@hachyderm.io https://wbrawner.com/2023/08/15/more-blogging/ Thanks for the inspiration Scott!
My personal view is that given recent events, if contributing to a project requires signing a CLA with a company (instead of an independent organization) then you should only contribute to the project if you're getting paid for it. For example, if your employer wants you to send in bug fixes so you don't have to maintain them. This may be a bit strong, but executing a CLA outside your employer's eye may be legally hazardous anyway in a 'we own all the work you do anywhere' environment.
