Mostly that you don't have to be honest to write well. It just has to be internally consistent.

I've never done it myself, but I think the project is getting to the point, especially if you're providing an API, that it provides a lot of value to bitcoiners generally.

We don't maintain horses when we can have cars, unless it's for the therapeutic / pet / cuteness factor.
Funnily enough, there are more horses today than there ever were when they had more economic utility: #886119

Similar reason as to why Jeff Bezos is so much wealthier than all of us I imagine.
I think part of the confusion stems from all us thinking about routing nodes like bitcoin miners - if you have the same energy cost and hashrate and hashrate efficiency, you’ll make the same as anyone else with similar stats.
Routing nodes have many more degrees of freedom so outcomes will vary wildly.

They have a few engineers and some cracked ML folks working on optimizing it apparently. They also do a lot of volume as custodial wallet.

My picks line up with your picks exactly. I'd probably list Wendy's in 5th place.
Based on Steak 'n Shake's motivations, I'd say we'll likely see it from a chain that wouldn't make it on this list because they're less recognizable. Steak 'n Shake says it isn't about marketing, but it certainly seems like great marketing.

I think it would be nice to run a small coffee shop.
Back in California, I thought of opening up a coffee shop in a relatively abandoned shopping center and calling it 'Breakeven' because the goal was for it to mostly function as my office and pay for itself with the coffee stuff.
I'd probably start a business that was either low capital intensity with staffing being the main expense like mobile detailing or something high capital intensity with hardly any staff like a car wash.

At some point I need to look into Opera because I don't understand how they're still trucking. It's been a single digit niche browser forever.

I'd guess they're trying to avoid looking like an outright gimmick. But I think you're right. If they gave it round headlights, it'd keep most of the charm.

I'm back to working on my refactor of "the world" while trying to have the most stereotypical time in Las Vegas - eg went to Guy Fieri's restaurant last night and it was super fucking good.

It's the Chaincode. They do research in addition to education. I guess like universities they pay smart people to do research with the condition they school up the next generation.

The reason everyone makes such a big deal about conflicts is that incentives are powerful. Pharmaceutical companies give doctors extravagant gifts because they know it corrupts them.

It's better that way. I'd love to blast people but I don't need to. I do however need to vent.

There are two kinds of contrarians.
  1. they are willing to hold beliefs contrary to some majority, but only if there's a minority that they can join who also holds those beliefs
  2. they hold contrary beliefs whether or not a single person agrees with them

I also posted this to ~bitdevs earlier: #990705
It didn't have much conversation, but it got some. I'm happy more people will get a chance to see it.
