We need a definition of genius and a way to measure this. I see genius all around me. It doesn't get recognized because so much genius is getting actualized now we just expect it. People are upset with Apple because they don't com

It doesn't work like that. You have to be "on" even if you aren't working. That means you feel like you can't commit to anything substantial since you feel like you should be working. Fucking off on the internet is

You are earning $4000/month after taxes and begin to receive $1000/month. What do you do? Some fraction of people will reduce their workload so their earnings are $3000/month, bringing their total income back to $4000. Some f

It's more about objection handling and not letting prospects fall out of their funnel. In email, if someone has an objection and they are an avoidant type (most people), they will ignore the email thread for a long time and potentially

For people that are into style, the aluminum case is a non-starter. Completely clashes with the rest of the outfit in a very bad way, ie. the eye is drawn to the watch to understand why a contrasting accessory has been chosen for this outfi

Stocks are a big Ponzi scheme too. Most people buying stocks aren’t interested in buying cash flow like stocks were meant to provide. People want capital gains. You only get capital gains when there’s a greater fool. I’m not against owning

I’d love that. I’d rather pay for a product than be the product.

Clean code shouldn’t be thought of as a principle. It is an engineering decision and every engineering decision has trade offs.

This is a perfect example of what NFTs really are, a mechanism to monetize attention, not ownership. Yes, they could be used to represent ownership; but, that's not what the current incarnation actually is. Anyone could have made a Bro

It reminds me of the beanie baby craze of the 90s. Same thing, different tech. I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest this may happen again with some yet unimagined tech in the future.

It's not nearly as bad as people fear it is when they worry about stuff like this. Most of the interviews are pretty reasonable, a few are weird. Tech companies are trying to get rid of these weird interview questions because it makes

The energy is used to provide security for the value the network stores. The energy consumed by the actual transaction processing is incidental. If bitcoin used a traditional database to store value it would need physical security (people w

This is the expectation from virtually every long term holder of BTC. Some plan to trade this price action, some will ignore it and just keep holding.

They are just moving non-productive cash sitting around doing nothing and swapping it for an asset. It's just diversification, not diverting from production.

Lots of people are paying for the energy the network uses right now and they thought it was worth it. You might have missed something in your thinking. Maybe go talk to some people that have used the network and ask why they though it was w

The people making the transactions pay for that energy. At 10 cents a kWh that's $16.5 , right in line with the current transaction price. Some people are getting enough value from the transaction to purchase that volume of energy. Who
