This kind of sarcastic social critique well designed site reminds of better times for the Internet... before the dark times... before Facebook.

Still, maybe this kind of staggered onboarding into forums isn't that bad of an idea. Its not like a site couldn't enforce it. Sign up to join. Get email indicating when participation begins.
Looks like a nice prototype. In the real world Id like to see some basic provisions for type safety though. If the last thing used was a half drank rocks glass of tequila the integrity of the entire cache will be threatened. * they all sound like "stupid problems" till your boss is calling at 3AM because the system is down.
This reminded - I noticed a while ago that being a computer science guy makes me think differently about physical storage and retrieval. For example - my wife likes "shorts" to be in one drawer and "t-shirts" in another. I like for one drawer to be "workout clothes" and have the mix of gym shorts and t-shirts. To me this feels "obviously" right because the use-case requires both items so why pay for two costly "open…
Your first example could have a different explanation, assuming she is the one that more often does the laundry. Ordering clothes by type is cognitively easy: a shirt is a shirt, shorts are shorts. When you have a stack of freshly washed clothes, sorting them according to type is so trivial it is a thoughtless process. However, sorting according to use case is more involved. For each piece of clothing in the clothes…
The idea is pretty good, but misses the mark. Bitcoin has shown that decentralization is a bad idea. What people actually want is Sharebowl: a single bowl, the size of oregon, that you can trust to keep your valuables safe. We plan an ICO by 2022, IPO by 2023, and IBS[1] by next week.

What we need is Peerbowl: a network of millions of bowls interconnected via an interdimensional wormhole.
We're in the last stages of ironing out all the kinks. Race conditions have resulted in a few lost fingers but also some extra tentacles which users report are surprisingly handy! Stay tuned for our IPO*.

This is why I have given up trying to organise my downloaded papers and books by subject. It's faster to search through them when I have a term in mind.

Other t-shirts hung in wardrobe and a separate drawer for other shorts.
Paper files: chucked into a tray haphazardly after being attended to. Sorted into filling cabinet once tray is full (which it is now and arguably has been for a month or two).

Think about the cognitive load of your spouse when you decide how a system should work.

I'm a bit late to the bitcoin game (and gearing up to accept bitcoin payments in an upcoming project) so excuse me if my question is trivial, but how does bitcoin show that decentralization is a bad idea? Aside from energy consumption and stability, bitcoin seems like a resounding success to outsiders like me.
That’s the sound of a joke flying overhead.
Decentralization is a feature. As with most features, it has technical and behavioral costs. In the case of Bitcoin, this cost is an enormous computational and environmental burden. However, I’m pretty sure that this commenter was joking.
