10% seems like an incredibly high rate when it comes to becoming elite at something.

I don't doubt it, but the sort of "I'm escaping the financial systems that is stacked against me" attitudes are prevalent among folks, the ethos lives on in a weird sort of way ... but really individuals are going to a w

The Bitcoin ecosystem, folks looking at it as an investment / get rich pathway, all the scam / poorly run companies, straight up crime ... really seems to fly in the face of the whitepaper and presumed ethos.

Yup, it's taking me probably 10x longer gathering legitimate documents to send to these companies. Meanwhile I could fake them all in a fairly short amount of time...

In some ways this reminds me of the .NET marketing debacle Microsoft pulled where every product suddenly was ".NET" and nobody could explain what that meant or what it did that was helpful. Similarly Copilot is everywhere, but why

I feel like that car security situation also is sort of setup to tell us about how folks with a security mindset can go overboard? Some car dealership who never had a car stolen hires a consultant and they identify this pickup situation as

Cars are a weird world where there are a lot of small "I'm not sure anyone likes this" things that get rolled out and become almost defacto standards, despite being something that I'm not sure anyone likes it. I'm l

This seems like a distraction for founders / new companies. How many cool innovations does a given start-up really have? Wouldn't they be better off focusing on working on that innovation rather than what I'll call "cre

Agreed. I would think placing it in something more conservative would be a better choice. Presumably the company will want those funds available.

The EU as a group really doesn't seem to have a lot of political will / momentum. They make a lot of statements, but that's it. I wish they did, but they don't seem to.

I wonder about that. I'm older now, work with a lot of great young peers. Their lifestyle though at that age is nothing like mine was. I worked through school (admittedly because I wasn't very good at school). My first real

If I KNEW companies would do things like this, I'd be more likely to buy their product. But on the other hand I don't know who to trust because plenty say such things because it is easy to say then ... and then they just quit. I

I remember the joke during the first Trump administration when despite running both congress and the white house they could not seem to find a way to repeal Obamacare. “They’re going to repeal Obamacare and replace it with the affordable ca

What is getting done here? Everyone but kids is still exposed, and likely still kids... Also you now have to have a license for social media, probably the internet eventually.

Rather than really address what is ass about social media, we just "ban" it for folks who we can ban it for. This seems off. Kid's have unlimited time. They'll find something else, likely pretending to be adults and t
