Looks like a great way to farm a list of commonly used passwords for users or just wifis.

I never trust anything online that generates anything with a password. I got burned from a crypto wallet scam once. but fool be twice...!!!

I cant seem to edit my comment. I think my comment was misunderstood.

Firstly, I wanted to say that the writer seems biased, and due to this they disregarded the technology of blockchain. They mixed up bitcoin and blockchain and the use cases are completely different things

As for IOTA being a scam. I honestly do not know, I liked their use case but perhaps I am uneducated...If you have any papers or links to back up your claims then please provide them, i'm open to having my opinion changed.

This person clearly has a biased view about bitcoin ( as evident by their talk about and distain of the market and its "scammers", although we all hate scammers), so much so that they mix blockchain and bitcoin up. Blockchain technology has not failed in its task, and as to bitcoin failing, well I guess we will see.

It reads like someone just lost a lot of money in they recent dip and is venting.

For the record, There are other projects in the space that use less energy than bitcoin, like iota: https://howtobuyiota.co.uk/articles/how-energy-efficient-iot... - I read this article a while ago and full disclaimer, yes I invested.

Thanks for this +1

To also add,, I have been told meditation can help and I would also like to start that.

I find that I lack focus, memory and interest. My curiosity and desire to learn has been replaced with "CBA" for want of a better phrase.

I want to be better, smarter and able to understand situations better.

My biggest key for this is to work on something you enjoy. Find something that you feel is wrong, or too difficult or too cumbersome and solve it technically.

For example:

Problem: There was too much street light at night to sleep coming through my window, so I bought black out blinds. Then I didn't have enough light to wake up in the morning and always felt sluggish.

Solution: I created an arduino sensor to detect morning light (depending on time of year) and then using a motor on the blind cord, it opens my blinds gradually so I have a nice natural wake up.

And it's powered by solar. I literally never need an alarm clock again. (All thought I still set one, good developers always have a plan b)

It's fantastic that suicide rates are lower.

I do think the article has missed a very important factor as to why though. I'm not saying the "heroism" phenomenon or the access to tele-based help and support isn't a factor but I think it's also safe to assume that many people, especially those with anxiety would have faced less social stress because they were confined to their homes. Many people are bullied in life, work, home, school etc... and some people struggle to be outside because of being-judged or whatever their reason.

Also, because (in the UK at least) people are not forced to go to work and can get furlough or work remotely, they are no longer feeling forced to endure these things.

I also think the sleeping in probably helps :)
