This is why coins like Ethereum Classic needs like 50k confirmations which is a 1-2 week waiting period for deposits, since blocks take like 15 seconds to mine and a 51% attack on the ETC network is relatively affordable compared to BTC/ETH, so fake chains sprout up very often and many transactions would be reversed

That's why he said he will delete if you request, GDPR or not. They've helped me delete a previous account, change usernames, and delete comments- they are nice people and aren't trying to make anything difficult. They just don't want deleting to be as instant as reddit with a delete button which can easily disrupt archives- such as when you go into old threads on reddit on google, you see like half the comments deleted and that makes for a poor reader experience.

Really good animations! Hoping we can play past games or at least generate new phrases after completing the day's puzzle because this is somewhat entertaining and dopaminergic for some odd reason.

E Myth Revisited Lean Startup Zero to One

Not a book but just a personal opinion, that building is the easier part, marketing is way more difficult and it is way more important. If you want to be an entrepreneur, it's not going to be very fun or stimulating

Good example of correlation and not causation.

I think you are definitely onto something here. I used to take 10k IU vitamin D a day and still felt meh, but getting a bright ass white light (2300 lumens) in my room has uplifted my mood, increased wakefulness, and boosted my general productivity alot. I used to have a warm Phillips Hue and I couldn't do any work in my room without wanting to nap.

I feel like the hype of social media has peaked a few years ago, at least in America. Numbers probably still are growing but it feels much more "okay" to not use social media at all nowadays versus a feel years ago it would feel pretty taboo to not use social media.

Formerly named Hookshot for those who had it a while ago.

That's why tons of people don't realize there was a "Pro" option- because there wasn't one.

The creator (who also made the free open source Spectacle-fork Rectangle app) renamed/rebranded Hookshot into Rectangle Pro sometime about 5 months ago.

Go to your GP, try to get a referral, wait 6-18 months to see a psychiatrist, then get prescribed ritalin or vyvanse, then later on if you don't like those you get strattera, and if you still don't like that, you get dexedrine, the closest thing to adderall without being adderall.

Had generalized anxiety and mild depression since middle school. 10mg Lexapro/escitalopram (SSRI) has done wonders for my anxiety and subsequently helped my depression. I tried CBT alone for some years and it helps a bit but the medication was really what helped me get out of my head and start living life. CBT while on medication was even better which I highly recommend you do both together. I personally didn't have any side effects on Lexapro after the first month. First month was some mild headaches and significantly reduced libido. Remember that millions take Lexapro daily, vast majority without significant issues- of course there's going to be a selection bias online towards exclaiming side effects and negativity. People who are enjoying life aren't posting about their side effects of their medication online. Getting online folks opinion's is great and all but ultimately you just gotta talk to your doc and try it and see for yourself, you can always come off if you hate it, or stay on if it changes your life.

Legal disclaimer: This is not medical advice- just my personal anecdote to encourage you to seek an opinion from a psychiatrist or your primary care doctor and discuss whether medication is/isn't right for you.

This is the mentioned startup from that "Stripe & YC are the Mobs of Silicon Valley" tweet thread:

https://twitter.com/theryanking/status/1485784884681474048

In the tweet: Ryan Breslow, CEO of Bolt, talks about how Stripe funded Fast which is a competitor of Bolt, and for the same valuation despite Fast having no traction and being relatively new.

(I do not condone or condemn the opinion of this person, just thought it would be relevant to this post)

Sure, and a faster and less bloaty MVP made in a couple of weeks and subsequently presented in front of customers as soon as possible- would've let the blog author know that their idea was very flawed, so that they could either abandon the idea and/or pivot to a different idea.

Make your kid do hard things after school or at home. Don't try to get him to skip grades, that usually has bad psychological effects on the kid (smaller, feel out of place, friends gone, sure did fuck alot of the people I know who skipped up later in life), and make sure to keep his work ethic in check- he will be breezing through the school work but you still want to instill lessons in him OUTSIDE of school that teach him not rely on his natural gifted talent and to always work hard.

Get him into a sport or something, martial arts, coding in minecraft or roblox, teach him advanced math with a tutor, anything really that pushes him and makes him struggle.

There are way too many gifted kids that breezed through school and upon entering college, end up having 0 work ethic and doing poorly because school never challenged them and their natural ability carried them through their entire childhood life. (I am one of them.)
