This seems unnecessarily harsh toward people who like to travel.
I doubt you'd have much of an issue rejoining the group.

The title is clickbait, in the article it says they can verify online. The change is to stop verification over the phone.

We're grateful that bigger players like Resend, Alpaca, etc do want to implement the protocol. The problem is honestly onboarding them fast enough. That's one of the main areas we're going to build out in the next few weeks. Until then, we're writing every agents.json.
If you check out wild-card.ai and create your own collection, you'll find that it's actually really easy to develop with. As a developer, you never have to look at an agents.json if you don't want to.
The resend api has around 10 endpoints.

That's kinda the whole point, but noone is framing that situation as the problem. They would rather think that homeless people are innately inferior and thus deserve to suffer, rather than victims of circumstance in one way or another.
> but noone is framing that situation as the problem.
I think yimbys are framing that situation as THE problem.

It's possible that you care, but the person next to you doesn't, and external pressures force you to keep up with the person who's willing to shovel AI slop. Most of us don't have a complete luxury of the moral high ground at our jobs.
It looks like the moral high just came more in demand.

That’s the thing I can’t ever come to understand about crypto. It’s purely about perception of value. At least with some precious metal, it has a floor value as a function of its practical uses and abundance.
Which leads me to believe that the only thing that could be honestly said is that a crypto is purely about winners and suckers and timing.
There are pros and cons of cryptocurrencies as money, just like gold, which cause people to speculate on the price.

This implies someone can take deposits and issue loans in a "better" way, when the main feature of this type of business to customers is showing up with extremely low risk of losing deposits, not innovation.
Credit cards are not taking deposits and issuing loans in a traditional sense, they are fee generation machines that are externalized which would not generally be "traditional banking".
There are other banking models that are needed. Look into Custodia Bank’s model (SPDI). Full reserve system meant to backstop high risk (but legal) businesses. They went through a multi-year lawsuit around the start of 2020 with the fed who didn’t want them to exist, ultimately lost.

You probably mass apply to jobs you aren’t remotely qualified for.

In what world would this be a net positive for employees?
If it guaranteed that you got a phone screen, I imagine a lot of SWEs would take that deal.
