1 - I'm neither looking for a job nor remotely qualified for that one, but if I were, the effort they've made to make the selection process clear and to reduce bias would make me a lot more enthusiastic about applying. More of this sort of thing!

I'm honestly not sure that Orban being a racist is the worst thing about him.

I see #OhForFucksSake is coming to the fore. I mean, not before its time, but still, 4/7 an excellent achievement!

Generally I think web3.0 has a problem with what is called the Economists' Fiver.

Two economists are walking down Threadneedle Street and one of them spots a fiver lying on the ground. She steps over it and her friend asks her, "aren't you going to pick that up?" "No, if it were worth doing, someone would have done it already."

That owning a share of specific works seems much much much more trouble that it could ever be worth.

Specifically when there already exist several ways to "invest" in works of art - buying shares in a publishing company or a film company for example.
