It's mostly appetite suppressing. Affects the perception of hunger and the brain/reward function of eating, which must also be part of what also helps for drug and alcohol addiction. It IME doesn't act like an anti-depressant

It is used for those things I agree. Those things alone do not hold up a $1.5T market cap. I would say they don’t hold up a $1.5B cap either.

You made a subtle, but important, pivot from the topic of “Bitcoin” to the broader topic of “crypto”. Bitcoin specifically, with its multi-trillion dollar market cap, is built up that high purely on speculation. It is a very fragile store o

Gold is used to make things. You can argue what its value should be as a material alone, but it’s not entirely speculation.

Memories of the Minneapolis bridge collapse. I lived <1 mile from it at the time it went down, and had crossed it earlier in the day on my commute.

A cursory Google search on Shell Shock doesn’t resonate with this statement.

People don't go to GitHub for the Git They go for the Pull Requests, Issues, and general collaboration and workflow tools.

Airpods Max are 100% everywhere. And not in affluent areas either. I probably see people wear them on public transit most often—and when I visited NY the subway was by far the most common place to see them.

I read that they will technically be on payroll until late March. If that's the case, it's not so much accelerated vesting as it is vesting while not being "employed". So same result, to some extent.

Like Mike Judge’s other office masterpiece, Silicon Valley, where the main characters literally drop a folder titled “Skunkworks Project” in front of the CEOs door.

Very against the rules. The Packers aren’t savvy here, they just existed long before business interests shut that practice down.

They still have their equity grants that will vest each quarter as they would before. The difference is they are vesting a cash value equal to the price-per-share of when it was bought. If you happen to be hitting your cliff soon, that is t

If you’re the kind of person who has cash to buy a house (or a significant down payment), what are the odds those assets were in cash and didn’t go down with the greater market? Feels like a very narrow slice that would be cash-heavy over t

Was it obvious Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers would collapse? That Morgan Stanley would need a bailout? The crisis with the housing criss wasn't that housing collapsed, it's that the world economy went along with it.

The part of the housing crash that I was inferring was hidden to most was how deep the credit markets were tied up in housing, to the point where a housing bust meant banks collapsed and all money was frozen. I was young(ish) at the time, b

I was young too, but I think the .com bust was far more obvious than the housing crash which snuck up on a lot of people.

Yeah I'm ambivalent about if what they do is good . I do think that what they've done with Star Wars is better than whatever Lucasfilm did with the franchise between 1983 and when they sold. Should new Star Wars be a big part of

Yeah that was a weird comment. Disney+ is huge , and it got there so fast. It's absolutely dizzying to think how fast they are going to blow past Netflix with Disney+ alone. It must be stressful to be in leadership at Netflix right no

It meant the client was expected to then make a request to refresh their session token. Because of the middle layer sending a 403 instead of the API, clients would request refresh tokens in an infinite loop.

Targets mobile apps were down over Black Friday many years back for a very similar reason – logic done on status codes. A 403 in the API had a very specific meaning, and when the proxy layer started returning 403s everyone had a really bad

I can't take credit for this, but I also don't recall where I heard/read it from: "Most teams would be better off using a shared spreadsheet for task management than they would using Jira" Rings true to me to this d

This was definitely not 5 years ago. This was 12 months ago. And yes you can definitely win $80 from a $5 lotto ticket I promise you.

I generally agree with this sentiment, then I saw a gas station in the middle-of-nowhere-Wisconsin was selling Bitcoin. It was essentially a $5 lottery ticket
