How does the World look on a Bitcoin Standard?

What would be the effective cause to create this change.

Never in my wildest dreams when I first discovered Bitcoin did I imagine it could sell for $100,000.

So there will never be Sovereign Individuals?🧐

Picture a scenario where Bitcoin is actually successful and is being used day to day by normal folks.

What's changed? Are we happier? Who lost and who won?

Why do We Still Play Chess?

AI cannot be the final form of technology humans invent.



spirituality

The Christ-on-a-crucifix pose is hard one to wipe from the mind, despite which religion you're affiliated.

Bloodied head bearing a crown of thorns, arms spread wide, nailed to the cross.

But if you pause and reflect on the symbol it'll reveal something to you.

What did it reveal to me?

That abundance exists in the value of what we give more than in what we actually get.

That there is immediate reward in sacrifice that's just as valuable as the thing you'll eventually get for it.

That the struggles we have surmount are part of the things we truly want.




Why Sacrifice is the Only True Path to Power

Quitting Coffee for Self-improvement

It's been 5 years and I don't remember going a week without a cup coffee.

Now I'm averaging 2-3 cups a day and I can feel the effects. And I know there's more my body won't just tell me yet!

While I love that it makes me sharper and gives me a mood boost in the morning, I miss  the caffience-free calm and centeredness.

I know this is going to a tough battle considering that coffee in now part of my identity yet at the same time I'm excited to see what's on the other side of "sobriety".

To other caffeine-heads out there, maybe it's time to consider you'll be a much better person without coffee?

It's was a very fresh technology then;NVIDIA Nemo engine.

Using it out of the box is easy but you got limited control, so to get the best out of it you had to deeply understand some of it's very abstract AI audio processing implementations.

FYI ,knowing exactly which two lines of code to edit took at least a week of research.

Has to be unlocking a lot of business for a company by editing 2 lines of code.

Where did my hat go to?

And somehow posting this got me a hat even after posting the past week without getting one.

First thing, let's get something out of the way, I'm not a hat fanatic or something. 

Just someone who loves a good streak.

But I just don't seem to get a hat whether I post, zap or comment; nothing.

Anything, I don't know about getting and keeping a hat?

-  editted::: To my surprise posting this got me a hat even after posting the past week without getting one.-

DEF CON Researcher Exposes How Password Managers Betray Your Trust

Password managers are a single point of failure, one successful attack and your duck is cooked.

What professions are the scammiest?

A few rotten apples here and there but the monetary return for their work is pretty low to motivate greed and bad behaviour, unless it's these posh religious set ups.
