747s are designed to lose an engine in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and still be able to return to land safely. Literally.

90m isn't ideal, but perfectly fine.

I also promise, to pay you back, if you give me 10 million. No contractual obligations, but I totally promise!

Again, because enshittification refers to the exploitative monopoly.

Vegas as a whole never had a monopoly, no individual casino in Vegas had a monopoly, and today's online gambling has certainly some larger players, but none of them have the market power to squeeze both sides as much as Amazon does.

What you're seeing is simply a shift within the market. Nothing else. Yes, people are being exploited, but not because of some monopoly that forces them to do so. There's plenty of competition in the online gambling sector.

No. Enshittification specifically refers to a business slowly squeezing everything out of its monopoly position and making life worse for everyone involved.

This here is just a failing business scaling (or shutting) down. Nothing more.

Let that toilet bowl in.

It was never "trustless", but trust in the system as a whole.

The change you mentioned is more a change of the definition of "system", since now it's effectively an oligarchy.

Effectively they speed run something like 400 years of banking regulation and its history.

Because Ryan wrote it like this 10 years ago and nobody bothered to rewrite it in C.

Back then, I'd guess most developers were relatively fluent in assembly, so if there's only a small change to make, they'd just change the assembly and move on.

What I'm wondering is, how many deaths are attributable to slow evacuation? Usually, you only hear about the great catastrophies where the entire plan crashes into a mountain and evacuation was never an option.

But how many accidents cause a situation where quick emergency evacuations are actually needed? I have absolutely no intuition about that.

That can't be it!

Communists? Immigrants? Wokeness? Jewish Space Lasers?

Nope, you're simply wildly exaggerating the effects of the dosage you're actually getting.

That's like saying water causes cancer, because everyone with cancer drank water at some point.

You are not getting the minimum doses needed to get from a water bottle. And again, if you're getting headaches from a water bottle, that's your imagination. Period.
