Has anyone read Infinite Jest? The whole book feels like Chekhovs gun but it is fun to read! (I haven't finished it)

No idea, but he does for some reason promote ZCash instead of Monero, and won't even speak of Monero, which is certainly odd.

I was just thinking about this I think you're right. Such small differences in phrasing can have a big difference. I think a great response would be "That sucks, do you THINK if you spoke to them something would change?" Rath

I really don't think these types of restrictions will succeed in western countries when you have people like Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey heavily involved. If crypto only had the underground attention it had 5 years ago, maybe.

Those three things are not hard to do or unenjoyable. You feel better for doing all those things and want to keep doing them as a result usually. I love to lift heavy weights and sleep. Eating healthy not so much but life isn't all abo

While it's true about the schools, I don't agree with you on your other points. It seems like PG is cognizant of change around and within him. It wasn't by pure luck that he started Ycom, and it wasn't pure luck he start

The context is clearly cryptocurrency here, not cryptography :).

Unlucky I guess. I would hazard a guess you find crypto overall to be useless. https://www.mastercard.com/news/perspectives/2021/why-master...

(not OP) Thanks for you book suggestion, would you say it's a bit dated now? I found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Kq1MIfTWCE&list=PLt_s8-zoCd... It seemed like a decent introduction, I am a beginner progr

I was under the impression that if you do not encrypt an SSD from the first use, then any attempt at overwriting with 0s is futile, as well as any other method to securely delete the files. The files will be easily recovered. This guy seems
