I've had the exact same thoughts, so if you're wrong you aren't alone. I personally believe this is due to the imbalance of wealth. Where money isn't circulating properly and we end up with these massive funds that move from one investment type to another destroying everything in their wake

I find it fascinating that he has such a strong desire to have people have a certain perception of him. I'm not sure what that perception is supposed to be,if it's admiration or respect or whatever.

But it does seem to drive him to do odd things. Sleeping on an office floor. There's no reason for him to do that. Pay somebody to follow him around and make a bed for him to sleep in if he doesn't want to go home. Taking photos of himself and then using alt accounts to post wonderful things about himself. It's weird.

One of the things I like to mention to younger devs, when I pull out a solution that they think is from thin air, is that I have failed far more often then they have. I just have a good memory on how to fix my mistakes.

No? But that might be because I don't need the same options as you do. I however do like the dual HDMI, USB-C, and the extra storage I added to my framework and since your Thinkpad only has 1 HDMI output I think that's rather odd. It's 2mm thicker how do you handle the lack of a second HDMI port?

I miss clients like this. It reminds me of a better time when the internet was young and fresh to me.

It does amuse me that this written up on livejournal.

Friend of mine wanted to know what a NFT is and I wrote down a URL and gave it to him on a piece of paper. That's an NFT. You can sell that paper, use it if you want but what ever is at the other end of the URL isn't yours and you can't guarantee it will be there or be consistent between the times you go. But by god you have a piece of paper.

So the problem with AMD and Framework is that the Framework uses Thunderbolt4 as the basis for it's expansion ports. Something that AMD doesn't natively come with.Not to say that it couldn't happen but I'm guessing 12th gen intel before AMD

For me the appeal is that when a feature that I don't currently have becomes available it's straight forward for me to upgrade.

When the next iteration of motherboards come out, I won't be buying a new laptop, ideally I will go here https://frame.work/marketplace and just order the one that I want and follow the video guides to install it.

The potential to customize this is huge, larger than any other laptop that I'm familiar with. The ability to self maintain, to fix every piece of the hardware if necessary just makes this thing a win for me.

I don't think it's a paradigm shift. There's always been a desire to have some sort of magical tool or platform that would eliminate the high cost of a developer. The problem that these companies encounter is that these tools are quick to improve the baseline but they come at a cost of making their baseline the same as other peoples baseline. If they want something unique, or compelling, that's above and beyond then they would need custom work and that means some form of development

Looking at Cardano. There are currently 2,497 staking pools which are staking 72% percent of all Ada that is out there. Which is about 23 billion coins staked. So if you owned 12 billion cardano and set up 188 pools to hold all of it, yes you would control the majority of the network.

So I'm more familiar with how Cardano and Polkadot do their POS rather than Ethereums. In Cardano since the entry level requirement to operate a stake pool is much smaller than it is to do something like Bitcoin mining, it creates a larger number of stake pools. There's also a soft limit on the size of the stake pool that encourages people to spread out their commitment so no one pool gets to large.So at least in the existing POS systems it seems to be working quite well. I'm going to be interested to see how it shakes out in Ethereum because they have to commit their funds. Which is in a way a burden.The more you put into the system for staking the less that you can use.

Just pay your taxes. Really it isn't that hard. If you've maintained the asset for several years you get a tax break, there are sites out there that are designed to assist with the tracking of crypto currencies. Yes you may be able to bypass all the algorithms and systems that the US has in place to track this stuff but why? Just pay your damn taxes.

Yes, When large amounts of money are deposited into an account there is an automatic notice sent to the government. A One time event shouldn't be an issue however if you have multiple events of large deposits then it's going to trigger algorithms and the government is going to start asking where you got the money from and they'll perform an audit. If you attempt to bypass the system they have systems in place to detect that and will perform an audit. Just pay your taxes

To say that "Etherium has not proven proof of stake can work at scale" is true but means not a whole lot. Since it implies other's haven't. Cardano, as an example, will be 100% decentralized Proof of Stake within the next few hours. I see no reason at this point for bitcoins existence but the technology that's being built on top of blockchains is fascinating and shouldn't be condemned for something that bitcoin can't do.

I really don’t understand what you mean by this. I’ve never thought http was difficult. What is it that you find problematic?

Your making assumptions here. There's no details on what exactly was needed from an engineering perspective. Was it design? Was it merely the knowledge to work the tools? She hired this person, but would any engineer have worked? If all he did was follow instructions and a plan and build what she designed then he was a lackey. Now he may have been more then that. But all the information I've seen so far has pointed to her being the designer, her being the driving force for this.
