Ten rando Trump-induced thoughts on crypto: 1. The token launch and its price performance is truly staggering. It will have aftershocks that are just as powerful and impactful for the industry. Or put another way, if this coin launch blew your mind, what comes next will be crazier. 🧵👇

This one of course raises the question in my brain that won’t stop poking, if crypto is now the best monetary tech, digital fiat was before that, paper notes before that, coins before that, and direct trade before that, what’s next, better than crypto?

When I pronounce the word Future, the first syllable already belongs to the past. When I pronounce the word Silence, I destroy it. When I pronounce the word Nothing, I make something no non-being can hold. "Wisława Szymborska"

It helped me pay off all my credit card debt which fixed my credit, and it provided earnest money for my house, so, yeah, same.

It’s because all US data is on US based cloud servers because of earlier concessions, and the cloud venders didn’t want to risk fines.

Almost done with Rainbow Six by Tom Clancy. I’ve also been working my way through Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar Remote Sensing: https://learning.oreilly.com/library/view/spaceborne-synthetic-aperture/9781000803167/

I respect all the companies that maintain a Farcaster presence despite the small near-term benefits. It’s a signal that they’re long-term thinkers and walk the walk on crypto values.

Also, each dependency is a risk of a security vulnerability you can’t see or might be introduced, as well as the risk of intentional malice by the developer of the dependency.

I worked night shift forever, well, from around 2012 to the end of 2019. After a certain point, I realized that it was morning for me or it was morning for them so started saying “good morning“ always. I’ve kept that habit. GM to you now. :-)

Douglas Hofstadter’s strange loop. And it’s true for anything we learn and hone. Our focus changes our worldview, which in turn changes our focus, which in turn… Programming, engineering, aerospace, language, even trades like a electrician or plumber, and the skills of “unskilled” labours.

Maybe in the same way that becoming a professional military member is about developing a certain set of skills like situational awareness that ultimately build a towards a worldview (and a certain kind of person), perhaps coding and engineering is ultimately about training and honing your skills to develop a worldview that you view thru and make decisions with

The edges are fuzzy, because the attitudes and age of parents and of peers both influence each person, and because which world events define world view can be different. I know people born in 1980 and 81 definitely Millennial and ones born in 83 or 84 definitely Gen X.

Once upon a time, the cut off was mostly defined by major world events that shaped things. And different analyses use different dates. Roughly speaking: Lost - Fighting in WWI, children in WWII Greatest - Fighting in WWII Silent Gen - Great Depression and WWII, post war adults Boomers - Cold War X - We saw the wall fall, the cold war end, and we mostly raised ourselves Millennials - The first digital natives, first post-Cold War world view, global world The years are attempts to map experience onto a timeline that fuzzy on the edges. Latest generations have been defined much more statistically than based on shared experience of a generation, losing much of why the generations resonated up to a point. As an example of fuzzy edges, I know people born in 1980 and 1981 that are definitely Millennials and people born in 1983 and 1984 that are definitely Gen X.

So, moving and starting a new job threw my droning in a hiatus, like some other hobbies. New house is in an airport zone and haven’t identified good places to go yet, or had time. The drone has been in the closet since August. Hopefully in the Spring, it comes out of the closet.
