Hey all, I'm trying to better organize my working days. I have several things on my plate and I think I'm context switching too much so many times I don't wrap the day feeling very productive. I recently came across Deep Work by Cal Newport and want to try that extremely focused approach. The best thing I do is use an outliner (second brain) which is a great help.
- How do you plan your workday?
- Do you limit SN/social media in some way or use browsing blockers?
- Do you limit the number of concurrent projects?
- How do your breaks look like?
- If you cook at home are there tricks you use to optimize the time it takes?
- Where does family time, walking, chilling, working out fit in your day?
I didn't know about the mempool.space one but it's really trivial to detect. Wrote about it almost two years ago at https://abytesjourney.com/lightning-privacy/
Also don't forget about the recent amboss surveillance project, which they said they would walk back but continue to grossly collect. https://ambosstech.medium.com/lightning-balance-sharing-and-network-statistics-32e687a4db25
Unfortunately I feel like the incentives are for unprofitable nodes (which I'd wager is most) to give up their data (which mostly comprises of OTHER people's data) for money or additional services.
There's still so much to improve for lightning to be more private so still bullish, but it is pretty bad at a mass scale currently. Check out on going research at https://lightningprivacy.com

I am not willing to even imagine this scenario, it hurts me deeply. I've lived in 4 countries, traveled to over 25 and there has never been a feeling "I am ready to spend the rest of my life here."
Geopolitics is a fucked up game and instead of fighting the system, struggling from politicians' choices, dealing with insane policies, I would rather be willing to move.
I am not running whenever a problem appears, but having an ability to get out, and being ready is just part of the prepper mentality that makes you stronger and gets you in control of the situation in a moment of crisis.

Strike, River, and Unchained seem to have branding that matches the Bitcoin ethos well. It is interesting to see how bitcoin-only companies align with and differ from non-bitcoin company’s marketing strategies.

Really feel like we’re a minute out before midnight on Skynet coming online. Not necessarily the nukes going off but we think we’ve seen radical change up to this point, and we have I suppose, but the radical change we’re about to experience is on a whole new level. AI surrogates. Phew.
OH! Sweet, thank you. Perfect. Done!
Err, wait - the spirit of freebies, would actually be okay, if we could figure out a way to make them scarce to the account. I don't take issue with all freebies, I take issue with abuse of freebies.
I read ''East of Eden'' by John Steinbeck again after 20 years and it had the same fascinating atmosphere when I read it the first time. It's a 'must' read, esp. for Americans
GLP-1 is the perfect pharma solution since you need to keep taking it forver otherwise you'll gain the weight back. Plus the side effects seem to be far from trivial, specially in fucking around with your gut
It's not taught in the American schools system, but before 1913 there was no personal income tax. The first years of the income taxes, in 1913 the income of $20,000 ( $617,557.58 inflation adjusted) was taxed at 1%, and at $500,000 ($15,438,939.39 now) at 6%. This is what made America rich (the Gilded Age was still before the income tax), the wealth that's being squandered now on entitlements and on foreign wars.
Here's the entire 4 page long first ever 1040 form with instructions, in its entirety. Those who dealt with complicated income taxes recently, can compare the complexity.
Also, one should not underestimate the psychological burden of compliance (fear of compliance often makes one not engage into a business activity that would otherwise be socially productive) and the required time investment for compliance.
