> BTC would crash but so would encryption, and planes and the world.

Sad to see Bitcoin advocates use this dismissive argument.

Centralized systems will update their software as the threat increases. Meanwhile, there are no serious proposals for a quantum-resistance Bitcoin. Some are estimating the update will require a hard fork and take 1 year to update.

That's the difference between two individuals, not necessarily the difference between having ADHD and not having ADHD.

Being tired after drinking caffeine is common.

Tired of password manager apps, I started to keep my passwords in a locked note in the Notes app

With a simple cipher it's near impossible for anyone to use but you

Is it safe to assume they transitioned to become an anonymous crypto trader around this time?

C'mon, no.

In Canada it's openly discussed that recent immigration policy could be excessive. It's not a fringe anti-immigrant viewpoint, it's discussed in the media and at the dinner table.

Canada is a very pro-immigrant country, but there is nuance in the discussion

The elephant in the room is that the depreciation curve on EVs is still not comparable to gas vehicles

And it's all because of the consumable nature of batteries. Consumers don't buy used phones for the same reason

The ship of theseus doesn't really work for EVs (yet)

Thanks, you guys just fixed my iPhone 12. Which previously required me to awkwardly move the cable to get it to charge

With a plastic toothpick I scraped the inside corners. At first nothing came out, but after a few scrapes multiple dust balls emerged. Honestly a surprising amount

I plugged it in, "that snap feeling again..." charging sound

It's normal to leverage your connections to find a job. Arguably it's the preferred way for both employees and employers.

You too can acquire this "privilege" by building relationships with people.

I noticed nobody had mentioned any Youtubers. Surprisingly there are a few Youtubers who bring a ton of industry experience to their videos.

I found these channels to be helpful:

- Rahul Pandey (e.g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADWkkJtZna4)

- A life engineered (e.g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i5iFlP01mQ)

It's fair to point out that Youtube and Twitter have spam problems and apparently can't solve it either. I don't think it's trivial.

Further, Bitcoin fees are often below 50 cents. For a transaction of any size.

Finding myself liking Slack these days.

I was really big into Deep Work's hyperactive hivemind and saw Slack as a negative until I took a full remote job and found it to be a critical tool for async communication.

The solution ended up being really simple: cmd + q when I want to focus.

That's fair.

I guess I'm just frustrated at these "tech writers" for re-posting unverified information from Blind and then needing to walk it back later. It's unprofessional and risky.

New comment by Solvitieg in "Coinbase employees petition to remove execs"

Solvitieg — Fri, 10 Jun 2022 17:37:08 +0000

This petition was created by one person (may or may not be a current employee) and posted to Blind. There were zero replies before they deleted it.

The creator of this petition then sent it to @Carnage4Life/@GergelyOrosz[1] on Twitter who perpetuated the idea that this had actually been signed by employees and was causing a rucks at Coinbase.

To me this is borderline misinformation because it is not representative of any reality.
