Can I ask what kind of Tea goes best with Tim Tams? Are we talking about just simple black Earl Grey here?

If we ever go back into a mercantilist economy based on bitcoin, the US is setting itself up to be in a solid position.

A lot of the early Bitcoin stuff was toys which became something more than toys faster than the people running it could transform the toy infrastructure at it's core. In most cases, they didn't have the experience necessary to ma

I have no doubt Elon expects to hire a bunch of people to replace those hire laid off.... but I suspect he wants different people.

I've worked on a large scale website everyone knows. There are lots of interesting problems, and lots of super clever people who solve them in clever ways, but it's not literal rocket science.

I've been working from home since about 2017. I kind of echo this. In the beginning it was nice, I had a HUGE productivity boost. After a while I became disconnected from everything. The other day I realized the only adult I talk t

Trying this out, this is one of the most impressive demos of AI i've played with yet. I uploaded a medical paper, highlighted a section I didn't understand, and was able to ask questions until it made sense to me. I'm not a

It's funny how the "I see the value in crypto" and "I see the value in a metaverse" have turned into exactly the same group. There seems to be this bisection of groups, 1 group of people who seem just fine with tec

As someone who has personally experienced the difference presence makes in VR, yeah I think it's worth it. You'll have far more productive meetings (and frankly, smaller meetings.... one of the downside of zoom meetings I've

So your main issue with VR meetings is you can't sit there and ignore the meeting? You can say "Hey, it sounds like i'm no longer needed here, do you mind if I leave?".

After reading the article, and understanding what he was trying to articulate this is even more uncomfortable. Shatner was dealing with his whole worldview changing.

Git is a bit newer, and there have been many attempts to solve the same problem it solves, but it solves that specific problem VERY well... it'll be a long time before it's dethroned in my opinion.

Since starting my career, the tech stack I use has changed numerous times. Technologies have come, gone, evolved. But except for a brief period in 2010 where we thought we could kill it, SQL is the one technology that has stayed around.

Intelligence has diminishing returns. Not enough, and that is a problem, but as you get more it becomes worth less and less by itself. The most valuable commodity in our economy is productive attention. A dude with a 105 IQ who "gri

Flat management hasn't really worked well for Valve. With no formal power structures they seem to have just formed informal power structures which aren't necessairly pushing the company forward...

I think crypto has a place in Web3, but truely this is EXACTLY what I want from Web3. It's not all about on-chain dapps, it's a return to protocols.

Because centralization works REALLY well, right? That's why the US practices decentralized command, that's why centralized economies have been so successful. This idea that decentralization has never worked is insane.

This would be awesome in VR. I took French in High School, and I forgot most of it, but after a week in France a lot of it was coming back. Immersion is a big deal in languages.

I hoped there would be a rise in proof of work like chains, where in the work was something useful like training an AI or brute forcing a hard but useful problem. Like a SETI@Home, but paying crypto for successful solutions as opposed to r

Nvidia doesn't have a role in any future crypto boom, unless it's being used for analytics or AI. All modern chains use PoS.

I find large orgs tend to build inhouse tools as they get bigger. But you're never going to get big if you start optimizing for late stage scaling needs before you've even found your market footing.

In my crypto investing thesis, I simply can't explain what role Bitcoin and its outdated technology can play. But I know not to bet against it. It's still the music to the merry-go-round.

USDC is the only reliable stable coin. Some dislike it because they have shown that they will use the blacklist feature (which USDT has too, to be fair) but frankly, I'd prefer my bank backed stablecoin is compliant with US law.

Supply and demand for gas, it's logical.. there's limited blockspace, so you let the highest bidder get it. Avalanche solves this problem by horizontally scaling using something called Subnets. As games or applications outgrow t
