for every story of heroics there are 10^n times as many of bad experiences ranging from petty issues to brutality. police do not only not serve and protect, they frequently actively harm the communities they patrol

anecdotal counter-evidence will not be taken as a valid argument, either - just because you know cops that haven't either harmed you or claim to not have harmed anyone unjustly doesn't make policing as a whole less morally reprehensible


Been working on a webapp on-and-off using Kratos for a bit and it is a massive relief to be able to delegate the hard parts of authentication to something else.

My only real pain points are the docs and the JS SDK - the docs can be rough depending on what you're looking at, and the SDK has no documentation at all. I get that it's automatically generated, but it's enough of a pain to figure out that I resorted to just making the HTTP requests myself.


how long has it been that Ethereum switching to proof-of-stake is right around the corner?


PoS has been coming "real soon now" since at least 2019.


you'd likely then have to pay a little micropayment for every site you go to, which would mean you'd be paying more for slower connections to a small collection of sites, which is not a great user story


I've heard https://njal.la is pretty good.


I've quite literally never heard of them, and wouldn't click that link if it came across an email... :/

> When you purchase a domain name through Njalla, we own it for you. However, the agreement between us grants you full usage rights to the domain. Whenever you want to, you can transfer the ownership to yourself or some other party.

No?


Njalla is Peter Sunde's project. It's a very high credential, the only possible better thing would be if Edward Snowden ran a registrar.

The ownership is a hack to workaround for some legal issues (e.g. for .es domains you're not allowed WHOIS privacy). Although post-GDPR most whois servers dramatically restricted public access, so maybe it's less important now.


Sunde gives it some credibility, but still the idea that you're not the real owner of a domain is horrible. It seems only useful for domains you believe never to get a large audience.


I on the other hand know 3 people who got stonewalled by their support and were unable to use their domains.


can't imagine this is good for people on slow / no connection - the example given is for something that already obviously requires internet, but it's no panacea for slow updates


Depends on the implementation. With a two-phased approach, the UI can be fetched remotely ahead of time in the background and stored on disk before the user needs to see it.
