Who cares about the app store

Here in the US we sure aren't. People don't seem to comprehend that "affordable housing" is incompatible with the mandates on increased standards of living that they keep voting for.

Great point. Solutions almost never come from the state.

Effective economic agency comes from experience in making decisions and encountering the consequences. We are creating a world where people have fewer choices to make (rollercoaster) and where the consequences are delocalized and less tangible.

I also highly recommend a Garmin. I never wore a watch before I got one for my half marathon training. Now, I never go without it just because of the everyday utility.

Prometheus is a very underrated movie

And chronic 2

Creates a central pool of money with no owner rather than the money being held by the individual owners.

This allows for expenditures to take place that the owners aren't willing to pay for as long as they're profitable.

Delocalization of economic consequence Spacial: "welfare", "spreading the burden" Temporal: "credit", "installment plans"

Thus our culture's euphemistic relationship with money...

Longevity is an active goal of mine. I try to gym 4x and distance run 2x weekly. I need to get more sleep; that is my big weakness. I think healthy sleep is underrated, and diet is overrated, with regard to longevity.

Do you guys think Satoshi made the issuance 140 years long so that no single person could see both the beginning and the end?

They hyperfixate on who "wins" the war. They fail to see that caring who wins the war is supportive of war.

Sun Tzu said that the winners have won before any battles take place, and the losers fight in the hope of winning.

Excellent question. I have thought about this a lot. I love sundials.

Timekeeping is really three problems in one: scheduling, tracking elapsed time, and chronology. Over time an approximate solution for all three problems has emerged, UTC. Yet, if we address the problems individually, it really hasn't been a good solution for any of them.

The human schedule is innately tied to the day/night cycle, so it seems only natural that we should schedule events around the sun. Solar noon doesn't happen at regular intervals due to day length oscillating, so our ideal scheduling solution must treat days as having varying numbers of seconds. I like the idea of scheduling events hours and minutes before or after local solar noon. With modern communications technology, we know the local solar time at every location and can adequately predict travel time to the scheduled location. So for example, you would input "meeting in Chicago, -2:00" on your calendar to represent 10:00 am local solar time in Chicago, and your calendar app could output your scheduled departure in your local time wherever you happen to be.

When it comes to tracking elapsed time, it's really just a problem of having a standardized unit and a device that accurately tracks those units. So, we basically have the solution for elapsed time, but when we track it with UTC, we're unnecessarily dealing with leap years and such since we also want to use it as the calendar... annoying!

Chronology is where things really get interesting. With special relativity, we now know that time between events is subjective. If a civilization is sufficiently spacious or if people travel sufficiently quickly, there is disagreement regarding when things happen. The only robust solutions to chronology would involve a consensus mechanism. Time chain? Maybe...

Anyways, we need three separate timekeeping systems. It's the only way.

AGI isn't real

Can someone smarter than me confirm - this is probably related with trump selling citizenship yes? Rich Europeans wanting to park money here in USA?

If you were to look at the humans from an alien perspective, you would see that intellectual property law is just a giant endeavor of withholding information from one another.

I believe the humans will come to see the true value of information as an infinitely reproducible resource and that the unrestricted freedom of information will unlock the next paradigm in technological progress.

I believe that's still a ways off, though.

Yeah this is why you AI people sound so insane

Current apps algorithms are designed to maximize user retention for ad engagement; this is how they compete with other apps. More info here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SwipeHelper/comments/17ubfcx/not_getting_matches_in_tinder_algorithm_explained/?rdt=37438

A decentralized app would not be incentivized to do this and could be optimized for quality matches like everyone wants.
