Right, for example Avalanche now has more than 1000 validators which is the most that i've seen for a PoS blockchain.
There are >1000 Algorand validators[1] and >2000 Cardano validators[2]

What if we utilized the 3rd dimension just a wild idea. Also designed chips as long rectangular, more surface area.
Heat dissipation is the killer

Characters in fiction regularly behave sub-optimally even if they're set up as geniuses, for the most mundane meta reason: It's a work of entertainment, and the plot wouldn't get interesting otherwise! We should always be very aware that any fiction, even ones that attempt speculative simulations, is always shackled by the need to keep being entertaining and interesting -- there are craptons of concepts and possibilities that _can_ occur or _will_ become deeply relevant to humanity but hardly ever gets explored in fiction because they're boring to read or write about.
I really enjoyed Harry Potter and the Methods of rationality. I understand not everyone would like such an intelligent main character though.

Campendium (site and app) has been quite reliable. I set my search to Public and Free. Or if that reveals nothing, I untick free.
We bought a shuttle bus in California, ripped out most of the seats, put in beds, then drove it over to Florida and back again. Literally hours away from flying back to Australia tonight. I’ll go through and review each site on Campendium when I have a minute.
@isaacforman on IG for anyone interested. Lots of action in the stories.
Campendium misses a lot of actual spots. It might have one camping spot listed for a 25 mile radius but there are actually tons of spots in that area. It's not precise enough imo and only guides me where to start looking on satellite photos and BLM maps again.

I’ve just finished a three month trip driving twice across the US, hitting 21 states and camping in most of those (wife and three young kids). In summer. It’s been very hot and Big Bend was particularly brutal. We were up in the Chisos Basin the first night where it was cooler and then down near the Mexican border the second night where a storm made it bearable.
We camped in a mixed of national parks/monuments, state parks, water authority areas, BLM, etc.
How do you find BLM spots?
I've often had to resort to google satellite photos and referenced flat dirt patches with BLM territory maps to make sure I wasn't on private land. Wish there was an easier way.

I think this looks like a better deal when you compare it to the flagships but you have to remember that flagship prices have been exploding and midrange has thriving competition.
For $280, right this second, you can buy a Pocophone F1 from Amazon which has essentially the same size screen as the Pixel 3 XL, 6GB RAM, an SD845, an SD card slot and decent support from Xiaomi so far. Hell, the beastly Razer Phone 2 is only $499 right now and has some crazy specs relative to the 3a XL.
I know I'm dreaming but Google needs to get back to what made it great in the first place: Put flagship specs into midrange priced phones.
The point of a flagship phone is to push the envelope, not compete with midrange devices. If someone else is filling the midrange niche better than Google I don't really see a problem, buy that phone instead. Google can better differentiate with a flagship and by doing so pushes the rest of the industry forward on features. These features that were costly to develop will later propagate to midrange.
The thing is that most savings accounts at big banks are closer to 0.15% than 1.5%. I think my Bank of America account made something like 42 cents last year.
Stop using a big bank then

Anger doesnt change anything. Activism, involvement and donations do. Young tech workers have energy, money (compared to their peers) and incentive to change the system. If they won’t act, they suffer more than anyone else.
Tech workers are still a minority in the bay area.
And then, if you are doing anything full stack or have a middleware/backend-for-frontend, for god's sake, look into tRPC and let your mind be blown.
Putting these two together, in a simple vite project (no full stack "framework" needed"), it will seriously just change the way you look at data, loading, and API interactions.
It just feels somewhat like the OP's problems with React are all skill issues and a lack of desire to explore and learn correctly.
I think the author is kind of a mediocre frontend eng but it's also true that modern react + hooks are full of footguns that can get very ugly. It's the opposite outcome of what react was originally designed for, to make it easy to do the right thing.
