I was playing around with @ChromiumDev's web.dev/measure/ #webdev today to see how various sites were performing and I thought... I wonder how Google's own websites fare... Call me a "Eat your own dog food" kind of guy, but let's say the results were less than impressive!

I guess natural the conclusion is that... web performance matters a lot. Except if your company/website is owned by Google... in which case, you get a free pass :) @suisseo Let me know if you find other gems.

I am glad to see others continuously improving the foundations for decentralized storage! @textileio is building developer tools that return data ownership youtu.be/d1kpID1LSRE

Hypothesis: Anything people are advised to buy automatically (at the market price, but regardless of what it is) will eventually become overpriced and thus a mistake to buy.

Pokt and POA are up there. Lighstreams, Tezos, Cosmos and Icon are also strong imho.
If you had this setup(s), which #PoS networks would you validate / relay for? I'd pick @POKTnetwork, @poanetwork / @xdaichain POSDAO, @AltheaNetwork, @ethereum 2.0, & possibly @wavesplatform. Side note: w/ a 100W power draw can this be run 100% off of a few solar panels?
