I sold a motorcycle over craigslist a couple years ago and I would have much preferred to have the buyer send me bitcoin instead of giving me stacks of 50s. I wasn't able to demand a cashiers check and I wanted to make sure the sale wo

I think, in a weird way, this is actually debatable.

iAWriter Saves files to markdown on iPhone and syncs across iCloud. I wish it could sync with google drive or dropbox, but it's the only good markdown editor I've used.

Same! I even paid for an app (something I never do) just because it supports creating markdown files on your iphone (ia writer - I don't work for them I just like their product)

I would recommend volunteering even to people who aren't wealthy. It has to do with what you said, most people who volunteer are doing so because they have the money to do it instead of work at that moment. So, volunteering potentially

There was a part that mentioned how one of the soldiers identifies with the child protestors, and how a high ranking officer mentioned if he were a Palestinian he’d be a terrorist. I don’t think it matters, they are basically just doing the

I’ve been pretty out of the loop in crypto but I am so anti Justin Sun. He’s obnoxious, attention hungry, inarticulate, but with enough money that none of those negative traits actually matter to people. The BitTorrent acquisition was sort

It’s not possible to predict the future, so I disagree with your stance that it was obvious a virus could cause an economic downturn like this. It comes across as victim blaming to me.

I think it is the governments job to fund culture in the same way it's their job to fund science, education, and public transportation. Government funded cultural projects help society by bringing its citizens together in a productive,

Non tech, but leadership related screw up for me. I started a surprisingly popular motorcycle group ride. Around 20 people show up to the first ride and I'm a bit nervous. I forget the route pretty quickly and we all get lost and separ

If you want an in-between I'm a huge fan of DigitalOcean. Fantastic documentation, better support in my experience, all in all more welcoming to the 'middle-guy.' Totally understand that it's probably not a great use of

Arguably you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket, i.e., you'd split it up across many wallets. But I agree with this sentiment. Banks exist for a reason folks, holding your entire net worth in btc across a few thumb drives

If you feel trapped in Heroku or Netlify and you have a somewhat technical background I wrote an article recently on how to escape them using a DO droplet and Nginx. $200 a month seems high to me for what it is. https://medium.co

More opportunities for wealth, women, power. More social interaction. Ego stroking. Getting a message out there. There’s a lot of great reasons if you’re the type of person who enjoys these things and can handle the pressure.

My advice (not famous person): If you want to “try before you buy” the famous lifestyle perhaps try to get comfortable at night clubs and festivals. Once you kind of learn how that dynamic works and you can get the most attractive people th

For me it’s laziness and forgetfulness. I don’t like thinking about all the things I have to do everyday so I outsource that to apps/documents. Also helps when coordinating with others and when new opportunities/issues arise I can

Yea that’s actually the most annoying thing for me too, I would rather use it with gdrive or Dropbox instead of iCloud (which is prone to a ton of issues). I had to do some hacky things to get it to work the way I wanted tbh.

Yup! And if you work in a team and need version control for your notes there’s an app called Working Copy which integrates perfectly. Then you push changes directly to a git repo which acts as your source of truth https://www.mac

Just because you can draw a parallel between the two doesn’t necessarily make it exploitative. Most of the time I’m sure both sides win, the creator gets to follow their passion, the viewer gets to feel they had a part in it by paying some

For people on the go that need somewhat more organization I like iAWriter for iPhone (let’s you use md files for notes) and then you can also edit the markdown files directly on your laptop in the iCloud folder. Everything syncs up nicely i

I lived in Brooklyn near Robertas and used to work in little Italy (the real one, Arthur st in the Bronx). I’ve tasted the best American pizza you can buy. If I’m just feeding myself I’ll usually opt for dominoes or something. I’m just not

I appreciate where you're coming from and wish that were usually the case, but where I live 99/100 public interactions are to guilt you out of your money one way or another. Everyone's got to make money somehow so I respect t

Hate to admit it, but a bunch of ideas from this article really resonated with me 1) Convenience of ordering, speed, & price > atmosphere (edit: for pizza joints at least) 2) Shorter menus 3) Goofy marketing gimmicks (aoki) help me c
