For me, it has been easier to have uninterrupted focus time when I know that "in X minutes, I can address that notification." Without the preset breaks, a notification begged to be looked at because when else might it get addressed?
I'm not convinced proof-of-stake means less equity. PoW is very capex intensive between hardware and energy. Especially during a time when energy prices are soaring, the big players have access to extremely cheap electricity that keeps them profitable, while the small players shut down.
The phrase "giving a shit doesn't scale" makes as much sense to me as "honesty doesn't scale." It's not a question of scaling it out, its just a question of how you operate. Do you care? Are you honest? Do you have integrity? You should be able to do these things at any scale.
There are a few things that I think would be really interesting to do with this data:
1. Provide a different scoring mechanism. Number of guesses is a bit simplistic. I'd like to see something where blank squares are 2 points, yellow are 1 point, and green is 0. Then a total score could be computed across all guesses, with the goal being the least number of points. It would incentivize "hard mode" I think.
2. Provide a difficulty rating of the daily word based on average number of guesses
3. Given a "spoiler free" answer, make a game out of guessing what the original player guessed.
1. Some sense of "par". Can you crawl twitter for everyone's solution tweets and get a sense of the average guesses for the day?
2. "Unwordle". For people who follow the hard-mode rules, how far can you get deciphering their guesses based on their shared color grid? Could you make it competitive between friends to see how well you can guess each others guesses? Would that encourage more creative guesses to trick your friends?
