I’ve often heard about these legitimate fears, though why would revealing Satoshi’s real identity destabilise the bitcoin economy/make him a target?

Genuinely unsure.

Fertilizer is actually useful. I wouldn’t put Musk in the same category as fertilizer.

I’m not going to lie, it takes a lot of soul searching.

Start with what you’re passionate about. And I mean really passionate about. What could you talk to someone about for hours, or the one thing in your world that you want to make better, and it frustrates you that it isn’t.

Each journey is highly individual, though passion is a good place to start.

I have, without a word of a lie, watched Simon’s ‘Why’ talk at least two dozen times. I still get threads of gold from it each time I watch it, because each time I do watch it I’ve had a new experience, good or bad, that reinforces why I do what I do, and why they’ll likely have to drag me out in a body bag for me to truly leave what I do.

I’m just that passionate about it. However, that passion took years to develop. Indeed I didn’t even know I’d ultimately land in the career I’m in today 5 years ago, which was very different to my career path then.

Simon Sinek’s famous ‘Why’ speech.

It reminds me why it’s important to cut through bullshit and focus on what actually matters, by keeping in touch with my ‘why’, my “why do I get out of bed in the morning, and why should anyone care”, and how to communicate that to others.

… who is benefitting more from social safety nets? Walmart or the worker?

For those who can think critically: Walmart, because they don’t pay a living wage for full-time workers

For those who can’t think critically: the worker, because they’re ‘double-dipping’ by working full-time and are putting their hand out to receive government benefits.

Some perspective.

We are talking about errors of perception measured by orders of magnitude.

The Lincoln Project has the right idea…

Ms. Mace is indeed, a cunt.

And I don’t mean the jovial mate-ship meaning of the word in Australian vernacular.

Trump’s malignant narcissism won’t let him be subordinate to someone else. So that idea is out.

Carr continued: “The purpose of the rule is to avoid exactly this type of biased and partisan conduct — a licensed broadcaster using the public airwaves to exert its influence for one candidate on the eve of an election. Unless the broadcaster offered Equal Time to other qualifying campaigns.”

Waiting for Fox News to be called out…

Bezos probably does give a shit about using WaPo as influence though, so whilst he might not be losing money, he’s certainly losing influence (however small that may be).

And it’s not necessarily influence over the election, but influence over Amazon’s presentation in WaPo to its readers.

If 10% of WaPo’s subscribers aren’t reading WaPo anymore, as is the implication with cancelling their subscription, then Bezos loses that influence, however small, with those people.

Can’t be. Dude’s not mellow, chill, or cool.

Same here, still on Windows 10 though it’s desperately trying to reinstall it’s crapware removed from the image with NTLite.

Will be switching to some flavour of Linux at some point (we also use this PC for some Steam games), so I’ll check SteamOS out!

I was skeptical at first though let me tell you, Kagi is so much better. I get exact search terms, which is immensely useful as a programmer, rather than providing results for what Google thinks I want to search for. It’s also really, really nice not seeing ads as search results anymore, ad blocker or no ad blocker.

Is it as comprehensive as Google search? It meets about 95-96% of my needs. I still use Google very infrequently for some really obscure domain specific searches if Kagi doesn’t find anything useful, though that’s getting rarer and rarer.

It’s also easy to block AI generated sites that pop up providing just enough likeness, but really are regurgitated AI trash, or are ‘Wikipedia clones’.

I have no financial interest in Kagi, other than paying to use it. It has certainly been worth it for me.
