what I usually say to speakers is a rough title and 3-4 bullet points of what you want to cover as a start-I think why it's challenging is folks try to "sell" the talk from the get go, rather than refine the focus, then worry about selling it

At the end of the day, OAuth is just a way to communicate between services and users, and as such it's easy to grasp and non-controversial.

OAuth solved a universal problem – signing into a web site – and, in doing so, created a new problem: how does a site know it's really you?

oh but this sentence it made is gold:

"Developed for internal use at Google, OAuth is an elegant solution to making web services easy to use while keeping your private data private."

this is so much more fun than writing this CFP:

"At the end of the day, OAuth is just a messaging protocol for communicating between services and users, and as such it's easy to grasp and non-controversial."

shoot it over and I'll write it for you! :-)

well now I'm trying to describe what I'm trying to write about and realizing that if I could do that well that would be the CFP 😅

this is why I write a lot of the abstracts for speakers at our conferences! I know speakers often hate this bit the most!

Proof of Work systems don't work when you can do work in zero time! clearly we can't depend on bunkchin crytypocurrentseas going forward as they are not resilient to atemporal computation attacks

But that venn diagram is getting closer to a circle every day and when it finally becomes one, we'll have reached thermodynamic equilibrium and no more money will be able to be extracted and it'll finally just GO AWAY

You can make a general remark about all NFTs and someone will be like "well what about Blimbletons? how do you explain the massive Blimbleton market?" and they're convinced anyone outside the NFT filter bubble knows anything they're talking about. I think that's great.

nft arguments are fun because you can be like lol people are spending thousands of dollars on intensely ugly lion avatars for zero reason & then some dude from higher up the pyramid will say um, actually, i make thousands of dollars selling ugly lion avatars. so it isn't funny

Like all crypto scams, the essence of the NFT grift is in recruiting new believers by convincing them a blessed database is an authoritative registrar of value. Just like star naming the grift isn't about utility it's simply a shared delusion in a get rich quick scheme.

First let's talk about what the NFT market actually is. Unlike buying bonds, equities, real estate, or actual art you're not buying something with any tangible existence, rights or utility. You're buying an expensive entry in someone else's database. (2/)

I've been in mostly violent agreement with @smdiehl and others who call out cryptocurrency and its descendants for what they are—an end run around financial regulation at best, a massive fraud at worst. We all agree it makes no sense as a technology. But one thing worries me:

But this is also an indictment of the web. Why did we let it basically turn into TV? Where's the outlet for talented young people who want to turn the world upside down, but don't care to sign on to the giant scam that is cryptocurrency? We don't have a good answer for them.
