   I get it. He might not prize his accomplishments with software as much as he does having raised his hypothetical children. I doubt it though. Most individuals raise children and there aren't millions around the world singing praises ab

   Does Linus even have children? I don’t know cause I never cared what he did in that area of his life. It has never affected me certainly. I am certainly in awe of his accomplishments with Linux/git though.

   I think for a lot of people being a parent is not the distinguishing factor of their identity. Most people become parents so one can’t blame them for not seeing themselves distinguished by it.

   Oh blood, I just got this book. Is this a huge spoiler?

   But last year, we saw that it CAN be done fully remotely. Why would going back to the office change that.

   I can’t answer that. I don’t think I did anything to be this way. As far as I know I was born with it.

   I’m a big proponent of marijuana. I recommend it to others almost as a rite of passage and I’m eager to see a world where marijuana use trumps alcohol consumption. But I admit that it’s not without risk. I like to think I am of stable mind.

   I wish you would elaborate more. What you're saying is very interesting. What were families like in Roman culture? How did Christianity change that?

    This may seem obsessive-compulsive to others but the way I work on the computer, I close everything that I’m not immediately working on. No extra tabs, no bystander applications. I keep my desktop completely plain so that the only files I s

    If you're not already familiar, I think you'll be interested in the concept of alliteration. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alliteration

    Maybe the transition to Proof of Stake is the time to change terminology. Proof of Work is really a lot like mining, digging around to see if a nugget is there, while Proof of Stake is a community of self-interested institutions sharing the

    In my own humble way, I've found that a minimally sustainable way is to find small companies that are making good money but their technical needs are not vast but want flexible and reliable custom implementation. If you can find a few

    I'm confused about this point. Why does the seller care about cash offers? Even if the offer requires a mortgage, the seller gets the cash from the lending bank, do they not?

    Presumably, to decrease the money supply, the mechanism must be the same but in reverse: selling treasuries and private assets back into the market for cash and then eliminating its existence. If the securities don't sell for much more

    Doesn’t that just further incentivize using corporations as tax avoidance vehicles?

    Deflation incentivizes delaying purchases. Less purchases means less revenue. Less revenue means smaller budgets for employed staff.

    Because deflation means less jobs and less jobs means less people being able to buy food, and starving people are dangerous. Deflation seems good if you're sitting on wealth. You'd be happy to wait things out just buying the basic

    Are you sure you’re just not used to the way things are done at bigger companies? When you work in a small team or by yourself on small projects, you might not encounter the opportunity to fully flesh out solid architecture and coding pract

    Trust in the system aka Benefits from the system. If Bitcoin became entrenched in the legal framework of our societies, they will simply get Bitcoin as it happens. Until then, they make enough money as it is. Also, they look down on the bel

    It's irresponsible to hold your assets in any one vehicle. Your 6 month buffer savings should be in cash or something equally liquid. If I had all my safety net in real estate or paper gold, it'd be the same problem.

    The problem for me is the browser. Unfortunately iOS doesn’t let you put safari into restricted apps on screen time. I’ve managed to train myself to regard my computer mostly as a work machine but that just means my phone is my mindless bro

    I used to have an Apple Watch with LTE so I could go without my phone even when I left the house. Then I sold it because I started needing it much more for work. Now I'm considering getting it again just to be able to keep away from my
