It depends on what we mean by cheap I guess. To me, Not Your Mother's is expensive and Super Leaves is cheap. But there's definitely more expensive stuff out there.
It's amazing how much of a difference good shampoo and conditioner makes. I went from using my wife's stuff to cheap stuff and there's no comparison ... Resisting the urge to do an ingredient research rabbit hole.
This is called the gap limit problem
I voted don't care. 'Cause I don't.
It's basically a registered/regulated Celcius/BlockFi where the sole borrower is Strategy. If it implodes it strikes another blow to the yield narrative. Aside from yield being offered under normal loan terms, where the yield won't be as good, it doesn't get safer.
If it does implode, sanity returns and "digital energy" stops appearing to defy the laws of physics. If it doesn't implode, bitcoin will continue moving into fewer hands and more quickly. So it imploding is better for bitcoin longterm imo. But I still don't care relative to how much I care about bitcoin being used as money.
I think the idea with principles is that on net our pain and suffering causes less pain and suffering somewhere else.
fwiw I recommend not becoming a cofounder this way. Founder relationships are analogous to marriages (and investors are like in-laws). You wouldn't get married this way would you?
Make friends in a technical community. Give yourself time to fall in "love" with someone. As a technical, the odds are in your favor.
Yes. Also, while I believe , it can be cope for fucking up and making your life harder than it needs to be. You shouldn't be the origin of your pain and suffering.

I was able to find the original post that zero hedge syndicated and then paywalled: https://www.oneriveram.com/alternatives/wknd-notes/94
That tracks.
However, whenever I feel that sentiment I tell myself that it doesn't help to complain about it.
I've learned that but still want to complain.
Maybe it's as it should be. Like, attention markets (as gross as they are) make real markets better. It's kind of Cantillion though; you can get attention by being close to the attention printer, and it's prone to manipulation/distortion.
I'm surprised by how readily people shoehorn The Current Thing with Their Special Interest, lose perspective, then get subsumed by The Current Thing.
I'm in bitcoin for freedom tech. All the problems are too hard and I'm not getting any attention ... I'm in decentralized social networks for freedom tech ... I'm in AI for freedom tech.
What do they share that would allow them to orient themselves in a disagreement? We used to read the same newspapers and watch the same news broadcasts. The scarcity of that forced us to reach consensus constantly. We disagreed at the edges. We all live in our own little information worlds now.
A physics postdoc friend was very interested in Penrose's theories. We held what we'd call Stoned Science Club, a weekly dude walk, and he'd debate his theories with his skeptic-of-everything physics grad student roommate. He married it with eastern philosophy and was very fond of Sheldrake's ideas about the laws of physics being a "habit" and consciousness being able to change matter.[1] I never fully grokked it, but it was fun to think about.
Until we have artificial consciousness lacking in quantum features, which would disprove stuff like this, it's plausible to me quantum biology plays some role in producing consciousness and our interpretation of the universe. But I haven't spent much time understanding quantum physics or biology. So I don't have an opinion one way or another.
As an intactivist, he believed that through meditation he could regrow his foreskin. Later he started to believe that people were trying to poison him, because of his intactivism. Then he disappeared and started living in his car. A few years later we get news that he died of an overdose while homeless in Berkeley. ↩
I haven't used any of their products, but I have a soft spot for them too. It reminds me of how I felt about Apple before they became wildly successful.
