@FutureMe guys. Can't recommend it enough. Centralised service, so don't go putting your private keys on it (though I wish 2013 me uploaded my private keys to 2019 me) - but definitely write to your future self. It's journalling on steroids.

That looks amazing. I'm going to guess Sicily.

Love to see innovation in the Bitcoin space.
Amber (getamber.io, @theamberapp on Twitter) are another ⚡️-based Bitcoin company I’m bullish on (despite their lack of primary domains/handles)

I admire @MyCrypto's singular focus on creating a great Ethereum wallet. No screwing around with every other blockchain. Just everything you need for accessing your Ether and Eth-based assets. Ledger, Trezor, Keystore, whatever - it works. Even choose your own nodes.

Over time I'm gradually learning to pick up the signs when I'm getting into a funk & immediately take charge of my (1) health (2) organisation, & (3) relationships. Inevitably I end up focusing on something & let them slide, then another funk comes along & forces me to repeat.
Just looked up the definition of funk: severe depression. TIL. That's not what I meant, just more of a state where I have lower energy, feel less enthusiastic/extroverted, more critical/pessimistic, etc.
But still, my solution: protein, workouts, sleep before AM, sun, cleaning

That's true. My coding session isn't worth anything unless I have had a good protein-based snack AND a 1hour-ish nap. :)
I also find code quality to exist on a continuum of direction, too.
It's either really good quality if it's completely undirected and a product of curiosity, or it's really good quality if it's well-specced out and I'm trying to get a single outcome. Anything in between sucks.

I used to I used to do almost all of my coding at night until very late, which seemed to help me focus. However it took a toll on other aspects of my life (ie health). Waking early and working first thing (or after gym) has worked out better for me productivity- and health-wise.
Yeah I've certainly had that too. Working late is like drinking - borrowing happiness/productivity from tomorrow. Waking up early(er) has also become a necessity to preserve my New Zealand relationships too, now that I'm on the other side of the world.

Consider people who are forced to sell food that they produce, on land expropriated by the state and sold to corporations, under threat of physical harm instead of consuming it themselves. Which is more violent, eating what "isn't yours" or beating someone for doing it? #politics
People being beaten for stealing food is another matter

So I have found myself in a very Sicilian barbershop... complete with 70's style chairs, floral print wallpaper, a pinup girl calendar, Maria in the entranceway, and a straight razor to finish off each cut.

Taking advantage is beneficial so long as it is sustainable. Income inequity is unsustainable and is leading to a surge of violent populism worldwide. As non wage-based alternatives become more prevalent, giving workers real choice, what you're saying will become more true
I just looked up the definition of populism - I’m not sure that’s true? What people are violently fighting for ordinary people?
Hey, I know that being low income screws up people’s lives. They have less autonomy. But they aren’t forced to work at the likes of Amazon
Replying to @galoisconnection (0x65593b011d6c1726e02bfa17f1370aa3c5f95bb0)
Until people value human equity (which is necessary for the long-term health and well-being of society) over one-day shipping, it isn't a matter of disrupting Amazon, but rather disrupting the media and propaganda that actively shields us from our own history of theft
I’m on board with human equity and paying people well but I wouldn’t consider all the past centuries of business theft. It has done a lot more to improve the lives of the people it “thieves” from than it does “thieving”. I doubt you or I would exist without business.

He was also not alone in building Amazon. He has not put in the majority of hours worked developing the software, legal framework, cutting deals, or shipping packages. Most of those people are paid an hourly wage that is not proportional to their contribution. That’s exploitation
All of this comes across as being quite envious to. I'm sure you don't intend to have that effect, but that's how I'm reading it.
This is the type of stuff I'd expect to see on Twitter - attacks on someone successful.

Jeff Bezos himself isn’t out there personally harming or exploiting anyone, just focusing on creating value, which necessarily means ignoring inconvenient problems. The same goes for execs at Coca-Cola ignoring water pollution in India or Apple ignoring factory suicides in China
I agree with you that Jeff Bezos isn't out there personally harming or exploiting anyone - let's take out the 'personally'.
He's providing a valuable service.
If you want to make it better, try finding a way to disrupt him with a better solution that solves those problems.

Exploitation means 2 things - abusing workers, and taking advantage of something. The latter I consider to be a good thing. The former I don't think exists at Amazon. They are all choosing to work there.
Also Jeff creates massive value by organising them
Replying to @galoisconnection (0x2644b6ad2075a823f7f82bfeb940da9c4022cec7)
Consider this: Jeff Bezos had a good idea, but his controlling an inordinate amount of wealth means there are people who can’t afford to eat, and starve. With each passing generation it becomes more statistically certain that one of those people had a better idea. That’s violence
I define violence as using force. That's not violence in my book.
People starving/tragedy - that's just life.

3) Wealth is not meritocratic, it is the result of generations of violence and exploitation. Wells are owned by the people with the bigger stick, not the people that dug them. UBIs benefit entrepreneurs and people in between jobs, which is good but won’t prevent mass depopulation
Not necessarily violence/exploitation. The vast majority of wealth created in the last 100 years has been from businesspeople helping people live better lives

There are already active forms of UBI in small communities, fraternities, clubs and even within families. I don't think this is a model that can be extended beyond small like-minded groups with strongly correlated private interests. :)
I like the idea of voluntary UBI for your social community/tribe, with an optional worldwide UBI you can contribute to (but don't have to).
Just make it easy to give to the likes of Ethiopia/Nigeria/Nepal/India. Then - even if it takes time - I think quality of life will rise

That's a very throrough post. Thank you. It is true that anything that incentivises survival is de facto invigorating for any living organism. The concept of "free" does not really exist because there are always some (hidden/implicit/long-term) costs attached to a transaction.
Yeah. Perhaps adding some type of consequence e.g. being disqualified if you're contributing less than you take for an extended period. Or roll out the UBI model in very small groups rather than universally - i.e. you only contribute or take from those you know.
"You cannot be really free if you are not willing to be disliked. That is the cost of freedom." - a quote I had in Evernote from somewhere

If contributing more than you take becomes desirable, while not contributing is seen as being weird/shameful then we could get some nice social effects at play. Could also cap the total amount of the required contribution to (liveable wage * number of UBI participants) [Cont]
[Cont] as I reckon that'd stop the rich from being unfairly taxed.
I reckon we'll avoid abuse of the system as long as we keep 2 elements:
- Rich people retain a significantly better quality of life than poor people
- Freeloaders get enough to survive but not enough to be happy

[Cont] At the end of the month, everyone throws in their collected dollars, then the money is split up and everyone takes out their share. You could add in something too, like that the money taken out of the UBI pool must be spent in the UBI-enabled transactions.

I think UBI could only work if it's initiated by consumers/civilians. Not top down. And it has to be voluntary. I think crypto is a good opportunity for this. Let's use cash as an example. Every time you go to the grocery store, you put aside $1 for the UBI pool. [Cont]

Very interested in the concept of UBI lately. Been doing my own research but interested to hear others' thoughts. Could we respect people who live off a universal basic income? What could it change about society? (This should go without saying but, please keep convo civil!) >_>
