I find there's a sweet spot for Anki when the daily review of already-existing cards takes 20 minutes. If the daily review takes more than 25 minutes, I try not to add any cards that day.

I haven't looked into this deeply because I don't have severe myopia, but seems plausible to me that this really works for a lot of people.
Also, you can get by with just memorizing one phrase, because unlimited addresses are tied sequentially to a single phrase.
- Homestar Runner
- YTMND
- Newgrounds
- ieatcrayons.com (a webcomic that 11-year-old me found very amusing)
finally, not a website, but Ragnarok Online was the first MMO I played and the one I have the best memories from
I never watched it because the title annoyed me too much
When significant compensation is awarded to the 95th percentile of some field, attaining the 95th percentile is much more difficult.
There are probably going to be some big entities in the Lightning Network ("lightning service providers") that average users use to open channels in exchange for a fee. These LSPs need to closely monitor for malicious transactions, but the average user doesn't have to. The average user would only get ripped off if their LSP broadcast an invalid transaction. In that case, they could prove it to the network and everyone would leave the LSP. Eventually there will be long-standing LSPs with good reputation. People can open long-running payment channels with them. If on-chain transaction fees get really high, they could be set to timeout after a year. That gives both parties plenty of time to notice an invalid transaction. If they're paranoid about DoS or timing attack, they can close the channel a few days before it times out.
That's my understanding only from reading a few articles about how Lightning Network works, so what I'm saying might be ridiculous and I could be completely wrong.
I'm not super familiar with Bitcoin's tech, but that seems sensible to me. The blockchain is already 250 GB at 7 transactions per second. If you multiplied that by 100, you still have orders of magnitude less transactions per second than credit card processors, but the hardware requirements are now high enough that few individuals could afford to run full nodes.
This is one of the only paragraphs of the article with data rather than anecdotes. The article only focuses on students with negative experiences, but if this data is correct, it looks like Lambda School is objectively successful, and I bet only a small fraction of its students regret attending.
I agree, if this person was acting entirely rationally they probably would have switched to learning JS and found a job by now. My only point is that there aren't many opportunities for junior-level Clojure developers who don't stand out as exceptional in some way.
