I mean, all of crypto is a big grift, so on some level this was a fraud of frauds.

lol, sounded like a spellblinding event. I don't really understand how someone in the chain of the festival organisation up to the event manager wouldn't be piping up + saying hmm perhaps it's not a great idea and actually extremely dangerous to blast a crowd of people with cornea burning UV light.

in related news I started using hyabak eye drops every morning, which are good for anyone who does too much screentime. It doesn't protect from direct exposure to UV though!

halfway down the quick photokeratitis thread it says "think snowblindness" -- which is correct (snowblindness is indeed caused an excess of UV light) but also a trillion times too cool for these shut-in clowns
― mark s, Monday, 6 November 2023 08:59 (six months ago) link
yes, I was listening someone talking about UV sterilisers and mentioning that if you are dumb enough to shine one into yr own eyes it could cause permanent cornea damage at worst or at least temporary "snowblindness"

presumably someone bought the lights and didnt realize they were the bad kind, same thing happened at a hypebeast event a while ago, also in hong kong https://hongkongfp.com/2017/10/26/partygoers-left-burns-light-sensitivity-hypebeast-event-landmark

According to Philip’s website, it emits 12.0 W of UV-C radiation and is mainly used for disinfection purposes.

i thought about buying a uv-c light once to stick inside a leather boot that had a moldy smell. never occurred to me to use one as a vibe light
seems very appropriate that this happens in hong kong, bastion of unregulated, free-market capitalism where nothing is unavailable for purchase to the general public, not even cancer-causing skin burning UV-C bulbs

ha a#z bribed kickstarter into going blockchain with predictable results https://archive.ph/UZv4s
― lag∞n, Monday, 11 March 2024 16:24 (two months ago) link
am i being dim or is it nowhere explained in this article what actual specific benefits the blockchain was intended to deliver?
― mark s, Monday, 11 March 2024 16:51 (two months ago) link
allowing people to make their own kickstarter inside kickstarter? i mean its crypto it doesnt have any benefits
Users, meanwhile, would be able to create mini platforms of their own around niche interests like anime, bringing in more people and splitting any profits with Kickstarter. This structure, which would echo other initiatives like Farcaster, did not require donors to pay with cryptocurrencies but would entail Kickstarter’s creating an entirely new, open-source version of its existing software that would be built on top of a blockchain that had never been tested by a massive consumer application.
― lag∞n, Monday, 11 March 2024 16:54 (two months ago) link
the benefit of blockchain was they were getting $100M

"Be it so," I said, replacing the tool beneath the cloak and again offering him my arm. He leaned upon it heavily. We continued our route in search of the Blockchain. We passed through a range of low arches, descended, passed on, and descending again, arrived at a deep crypt, in which the foulness of the air caused our flambeaux rather to glow than flame.

interesting they were buying out shareholders rather than investing in the company, also the deal wasnt contingent on kickstarter actually doing the blockchain stuff, effectively they were just acquiring shares and recommending crypto
