It took ~10 years for flexible screens using OLEDs to be mass producible. 10 years seems to be the norm as of now for things produced under research conditions to enter mass production/usage, are there counter examples?

"are there counter examples?"

Solar, although to be fair I'm looking at "is financially worth producing" as I'm sure they technically could be mass-produced in the 1960s if they could somehow find a buyer.

I guess you can make a case for the neo-luddites

It seems to be available in browser, see script.js it's not minified.

- The haters have not changed their mind despite their hatred being addressed, they've moved on to other reasons.

- Bitcoin continues to improve.

On a serious note, that's a good summary, thank you!

Most of the criticisms seem to be around the -coin and -currency monikers, not noticing those are skeuomorphs.

People get seem that it is an asset, but confuse themselves over its monetary branding instead of what people can and do with it.

Many do then move the goal post to "there is no demand or intrinsic value", which may more easily retain durable consensus with them, even though most of the criticisms elevate this asset class to a standard higher than any individual asset class in existence. But still related to the exchange rate, instead of what people can and do with it.

I don't like Bananas. Instead of just not buying them at the grocery store and not eating them, I'll post a negative comment whenever someone mentions Bananas.

Bananas are bad for you! Bananas suck! Bananas are a scam!

I’m providing a sociological hypothesis for something that people usually only provide technical explanations for. If you have a novel explanation for why Bananas are purchased that is unrelated to nutrition, it is worth sharing at least.

"tether bad, so bitcoin bad!"

It's not about good or bad. Bitcoin is bad because a transaction takes 700kWh and 87 grams of e-waste. It's staggeringly inefficient because trust is a huge optimization.

Tether is bad. Where it intersects is it can create the impression people think Bitcoin is worth something in dollars.

> It's not about good or bad.

ok

> Bitcoin is bad because...

??

Poorly worded but what I meant was that Tether's shadiness doesn't imply Bitcoin is bad. That, I believe stands on its own merits.

Was it an on-site interview? I’m curious how he was able to convince you to install the env.

Yeah, onsite. Remotes are harder in this respect.

We give onsite candidates affordances to install any environment that makes them feel comfortable, or to allow them to bring their own machines. The interview machines get wiped on a regular cadence, so installing packages is no big deal.

If candidates send us a list of the software they want beforehand, we usually try to set it up for them in advance. If not, it's fine for the schedule to run over a bit for them to tweak things as they like.

Interviews are stressful enough. We want everything working in a candidate's favor so they can do their best.

Where do you work?? :D

People always prioritize the remembering self over the experiencing self :). Like someone else pointed out, you can strike a balance between the two.
