And in reality much much less than a Datacenter would. Once plot files are written they use a cache to look up their hashes. The utility of those files on the other hand are a whole different conversation.

Their software runs a full node and a wallet, so most users are a node by default (if I’m not mistaken) and rewards are double for the first couple years. You can run their software and just about anything, low powered CPU’s, pi’s, NAS, etc. So I don’t doubt their numbers are too far from the truth, esp considering how much China supports them. Nodes have been slowly dropping over time as the crypto boom cycle has died down.

As far as real transactions, they’ve got a way to go. Just releasing NFT support a few months ago.

They do, but recently my weekly discover is infused with kids songs. And it’s taken a few weeks ok ignoring those tracks to get them out.

Yeah, That’s the dream and already happening as far as heart rhythm abnormalities. But wearables are pretty lacking. For example, I have a resting heart rate of 40bpm due to intense exercise. Iwatch won’t register heart rates that low, but if I get an EKG I’m fine.

Additionally EKG’s puts leads all over your chest to get precise electrical measurements. A watch on your wrist isn’t going to be comparable, esp with things like sudden cardiac death. This article takes it even further as you need detailed imaging to really save these types of patients. Since we don’t yet know many of the underlying genetic variants or causes of sudden cardiac death. It’s more common than people realize and often goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosis because it’s hard to detect until too late.

Source: Multiple people in my family have died from sudden cardiac death. All with perfectly normal EKG’s before they passed.

My family has an unknown genetic variant that causes sudden cardiac death. We’ve been studied a lot. My father in law and his brother both died suddenly jn their early 50’s. My wife and brother in law both had elective heart surgery in their 30’s to install defibrillators as safety precautions to avoid suddenly dropping dead.

Our two daughters both have unknown heart variants and one of them is on a beta blocker for life since the age of 1 to avoid sudden cardiac episodes. She’s also forbidden to drink stimulants or play certain sports for risk of heart episodes. She looks completely healthy and normal and wants to play as intense as other kids.

This tech could mean that my children don’t have to face the same decision as their elders having to decide between dangerous and expensive surgeries for an unknown risk or living your life in fear.

I can’t tell you how huge this is for us if regular checkups would be enough to say, yes go live and play, enjoy your life. Things look good.

For our company squash merge simplifies cognitive load when a bad commit is deployed to production. There’s exactly one commit that caused the issue and one commit to be reverted. Also very easy in CI to deploy previous commit to revert back to steady state quickly before debugging whatever the issue is.

Not to the same degree but roomba seemed to survive mapping peoples houses privacy problems, and everyone seems to love Alexa. The general public prefers features over privacy.

Echoing your comments:

Playing with defi applications and dex’s this week got me pretty excited about where the space is headed.

There are now smart contracts that exist where the admin controls are disabled and users can do things like flash loans where you put up some collateral borrow huge sums of tokenized money and then pay it back in seconds or years later. No paper work, no counter party risk, intermediary is code. You pay gas fees and whatever apr you agreed to. https://dydx.exchange/

Dex’s are becoming awesome, https://uniswap.org is friggin rad. So easy to use.

There’s obviously going to be tons more scams and projects that blow up or get hacked, but out of this will come some very useful finance applications that never existed before.

Chrissy field beach was amazing on Friday, whole family got sunburned and didn’t want to leave. Ocean beach is massive and awesome, great for bonfires. Both those are 10 min drives for us. Or head to one of multiple nudist beach just south of Pacifica or north Baker beach near the GG. I totally relate to SF being associated with beaches and ive been here 15 years now. We used to have to drive in over 1hr of LA traffic to go to the beach, don’t miss that.

I coped with drugs and alcohol before finally getting a job as a QA engineer an managed to escape. Tech support takes a thick skin and strong personality to not personally take home the never ending queue of angry customers, it’s generally thankless.

Depends on what you’re after. Small companies can be very nimble, enabling you to have more of an impact within the company as you wear many hats. Sometimes less is more and you’ll perform better when you’re forced to work within staffing, budget or time constraints. Often a small company can feel like family. Sometimes stock options can turn into a golden ticket. But with all that comes additional stress and sometimes not great base pay.

Large companies some of the above can still remain true, you get job security through company stability, total comp packages can be much higher and more reliable. Company budgets are bigger so your products can sometimes have a much larger customer impact globally. More availability to move between teams and meet new coworkers or switch offices without much risk.

Medium sized companies are my favorite where the hair on fire foundation was already laid, product market fit is establish, but company is still private and growing quickly. Less risk here but still decent upside and less of the large company regulatory and compliance annoyances that impede velocity.

And in my experience sometimes the size of the company has less to do with quality of life than work culture.

I find #5 a disadvantage as with 1 widescreen monitor I can easily snap an app perfectly in the center of my vision and ignore the edges. But with two monitors, if I’m ignoring a monitor that means my neck is angled the entire time or I’m physically adjusting or moving monitors.

Odesza, Nombe, Ben Murray Smith, Volvo, SG Lewis. Electronic recommendations under ‘Discover’ in Spotify.

Or brain.fm if I really want no lyrics and to focus.

I still look up the order to create a basic Linux symlink.

Acronyms or pneumonic devices can help solidify the things you do frequently to commit them to memory.

Frequent repetition, de stressing, quality sleep, exercise and SLOWING DOWN to actually digest the patterns and actions you’re doing can help.

Beyond that note things down and the rest isn’t important enough to need to remember, google is fine.
