This is unrelated to the parent topic directly, but I just read that article in 6 minutes. I saw this comment before I actually read the article, so I was reading at a normal speed rather than just skimming, to retain enough that I feel like I could explain it to someone else if I had to. That video is 20 minutes long! I know people seem to prefer to consume information from a video vs just reading about it but it kind of struck me that the article was described as "lengthy" and the video was described as a "summary".
The robin hood fiasco presumably made more of a main stream impact because it was a "fun" human interest story rather than just a dry technical thing that was a problem, then got fixed, and most people never cared about and definitely will never remember a year from now.

- chii 5y agoThe article links to another article (https://www.symmetrybroken.com/the-problem-of-synchronization/ https://www.symmetrybroken.com/the-problem-of-synchronizatio...) which you will also want to read to get the full scope (as it introduces more ideas outside of the nickel issues). The video is specifically about the nickel issue. As for it being 20 mins, i argue that it's only longer because speaking is so much slower. The informational content is less in the video. And i also recommend watching videos at 2x speed!
