Seattle has better sushi though.

Having your own private bathroom is a really underrated perk of WFH. There are of course many more benefits to WFH, but using your own bathroom is something no office and their disgusting communal bathrooms could ever compete with.

10x VC returns!

You also have a private bathroom! Extremely good reason to never work in an office.

Does it have the same music? That was my favorite part of the original game. You could even put the second cd in a regular stereo and play it. The Fat Man has re-released it and music from the sequel:

The game also cost $99 which was super expensive at the time.

Do you have a link to this? I looked on their site and Sourceforge but didn't see anything about it.

The problem is that Warp is closed source, requires a log in, has extensive telemetry, promised to go open source but never did and has raised 78M from VCs including 50M from Sequoia, the FTX people.

There's a really great Youtube channel that covers indigenous American history called Ancient Americas:

It does a ton of really great deep dives into pre-Columbian and native cultures. I agree with you that there's a lot to learn and an unrecognized degree of influence on our day to day lives (corn and potatoes being two examples).

> Correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I understand, passively listening on DHT would only mean you build up a list of infohashes of everything shared on BitTorrent. You'd actually have to reach out to your DHT peers to know what files the infohashes actually represents.

Yes, you're correct! I should have stated that, you still need to resolve the metadata from the peers that have the infohashed files hosted. That's a separate operation from downloading the file's content.

It works well in practice. The DHT protocol includes announce messages that broadcast when new files are shared on BitTorrent. It then includes a "geometric" way to find people who are sharing those files. It doesn't include the files themselves, just the torrents which include a file list and location hashes.

If you listen to BitTorrent's DHT network, you'll build an index of everything shared on BitTorrent (over time), this will include commercial movies and such.

I agree. It's also worth noting that Hitler himself was inspired by the US Jim Crow laws and history of violent racism. He used it as a model for his own ethnic cleansing. So for a long time Nazis and the US have had a symbiotic relationship.

Anyone interested in this should learn about Operation Paperclip:

The US recruited Nazi leadership into science and intelligence positions directly leading to human experimentation like MKULTRA.

This is considered the definitive book on the subject:

I'll buy that, there are certainly small local mountains out there you can find. I don't know that I'd say the skiing is "great" (or even worth moving for) but they do exist.

It may not be popular to say on this site, but there is an issue with living in places like that though... if you're not white, it's going to be really rough going for you, even in "blue" states. I say this as a non-white person who grew up in rural America. The racism is off the charts, you will experience it in every facet of your life, which is really unfortunate because there are a lot of beautiful rural locations in this country that would otherwise be inhabitable if it weren't for that major issue.

Having grown up in a rural area, I share your experience. I'm very comfortable being by myself and get drained when I have to socialize. I honestly feel pretty lucky to be this way. Most people get incredibly stressed when they have to be alone. Finding joy with yourself leads to a pretty high quality of life imho.

Is this in Utah? I ask because most ski towns are really expensive to live in but the SLC/Ogden area is a bit of an exception. I'd love to only work 6 months out of the year and ski the rest, but that sounds like something only a wealthy person could do.

If anyone is looking for a really good place to get started with SDR, I'd highly recommend the RTL-SDR Blog V3:

Interesting that they talk about the double spending problem but don't propose a solution (which ultimately came in the form of the proof-of-work blockchain). From the section on Multiple Spending Prevention:

> One way to minimize the problem of multiple spending in an off-line system is to set an upper limit on the value of each payment. This would limit the financial losses to a given merchant due to accepting coins that have been previously deposited. However, this will not prevent someone from spending the same small coin many times in different places.

> In order to prevent multiple spending in off-line payments, we need to rely on physical security. A "tamper-proof" card could prevent multiple spending by removing or disabling a coin once it is spent. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a truly "tamper-proof" card. Instead, we will refer to a "tamper-resistant" card, which is physically constructed so that it is very difficult to modify its contents.
