Can confirm, shave your head no one cares, girls dig it if they dig you just like everything else. Just get used to wearing hats or carrying sunscreen lol.

Maybe my biggest concert regret is not seeing the Alive tour. Game changers.

I saw a video on tiktok a girl uploaded of her dad who was somehow involved in the project. His reaction to the successful landing was so emotional I found myself a little envious. Like the dude had just won the Super Bowl of tech. And didn’t he? What a feeling, congrats to everyone involved!

What if, just hear me out, we collectively decide we don’t really like the fb style social media and there actually isn’t a replacement. What if we just moved on?

Right, it seems like there would be plenty of gamers more than willing to replace those ASICS given the opportunity.

One more angle since I haven’t seen anyone mention it.

Instructions on how to bootstrap a software portfolio:

Pick a language (sounds like you chose JS which would be my pick as well), buy a copy of cracking the coding interview, make a leetcode.com account, make a codepen.io account, and get to work.

If you’re smart and dedicated you can teach yourself this stuff and these are the best tools to help you in my opinion.

Spend your time solving problems on leetcode and then utilizing these techniques in codepen portfolio pieces.

In my opinion with serious dedication you can have a junior swe worthy resume and portfolio put together within a year.

[edit] since the question inevitably comes up with JS in my opinion you should not spend any time focusing on front end frameworks. Learn Vanilla JS, HTML and CSS, you will blow your interviewers away if you can solve their problems without a framework and it is overhead you don’t need as a beginner.

How about empty cruise ships running off generators. Or all the oven lights left on accidentally across the world every night lol.

I wonder how much electricity California will be consuming when we stop selling gas cars and go all electric...

Funny I actually viewed the 2020 BTC drawdown (and subsequent rapid recovery) as my number one buy signal for the current crypto bull market. In a time period when the Dow loses almost 13% in a single day and the fed has to use every move in the playbook to maintain liquidity, crypto holds its own with no fed assistance at all.

As for inflation, I’m guessing the exact opposite argument to yours was being made in the 80s.

Interestingly from what I’ve read it seems like the hedge fund community overall views the GME event as fair play. ‘Maybe Melvin got burned but they should have known better’, kind of attitude.

I think the point being BTC is only one aspect of a financial system which surely uses more energy than BTC alone.

Mike Green is one of the most interesting thinkers in the finance space. His work on passive indexation is fascinating.

I wonder how much time you’ve spent with the very old? My 97 year old grandmother passed last year, in the last conversation I had with her she expressed to me just how ready she was to go. I told her that I thought I understood and hoped that when my time came I too would be ready. She assured me I would be.

I think you can already see this playing out in gold and crypto.

It is interesting to note that buying was also limited for cash accounts where collateral should not have been an issue.

I think you’re right but just to put another spin on the point we are also in a zero to negative interest rate environment. Where’s all that would be bond money gonna go if not Apple.

I would think a warrant would still be required, so not as minority report as all that.

Excellent speech love Arnold, loved the sword cameo.

Classic crash prep strategies:

1. Hold cash, deploy at bottom. 2. Hold long dated s&p put options. Sell at bottom.

Problems with these strategies:

1. Where is the bottom?

One thing I found interesting was this list of media companies now owned by AT&T. I can imagine a motive scenario based on these names alone.

Just to add an interesting bit it appears possible there was someone in or in the direct vicinity of the vehicle when it exploded.

Not my native country but Tuareg Rock is my new favorite forgotten world genre.

A a great example -

It’s ok to have those feelings, I think many do but they will not last forever friend. Peace and love is all around you <3

This is great advice but wanted to emphasize if you’re looking to make a huge impact with pretty much no money just grab some trash bags and pick a block in need.

Trash in the street is one of the biggest problems you’ll see in neglected low income neighborhoods and it just feels so much different when the street gets cleaned up.

Just some historical context for those saying solarpunk is too wholesome sounding to be ‘punk’. Check out Minor Threat and the straight edge movement. Seemingly not punk at all, but actually the MOST punk.

Hey give yourself some credit, maybe you’re just a handsome guy.

I don’t think the infrastructure required for the scarcity free society necessarily has to be a global / universal one. The political angle seems more anarcho-socialist to me which would lead to a decentralized model enabled by technology. Think self sufficient city states.

I believe most high schools (at least in California) have an economics semester that covers a lot of loosely finance related topics. And actually mine had a work experience class that did cover basic personal finance / talked about compound interest.

Kinda makes perfect sense that the same year would have a month with both the highest and lowest no?
