Meanwhile I love the word "deliverable." Sometimes it's hard to think of an umbrella word for all the things you produce. It can be anything from a stack of pamphlets coming hot off the printing press, or those pin buttons th

I think it's helpful to distinguish between "authors" and "publishers." We can see this play out in the traditional publishing industry. Authors are supposed to submit a manuscript with the least amount of formattin

A relevant essay: "No More Creepy Crawlies" by Anthony Pearce https://reckoning.press/no-more-creepy-crawlies/ The magazine also has a lot of cli-fi stories posted for free, so I recommend checking it out.

I think it's really funny that fantasy and DnD artists draw taverns as spacious inns with tons of rooms, when in reality most ancient people were sleeping together in the same room, peeing together in the same bathroom, and generally n

According to this article, if you get accidentally declared dead in the US, companies and institutions make their own copies of the death records and they aren't kept in sync with the governments. So even after you become alive again,

For prep work, you can store pizza dough as little balls, or pre-flatten them and put them on racks, freezing many more pizza doughs than bread doughs. Preparing a pizza crust is as easy as using a press, but to make consistent bread you ne

First of all, there's plenty of whores if you think sex is a human right. Prostitution is the oldest profession. If we normalize sex work, people can meet demand without getting shamed. Who's trying to do that? Mostly feminists if

Monero is so underrrated. It's always "bitcoin this, bitcoin that" as if that's the only currency which matters. For now, since fiat onramps are pretty obvious, people report their taxes like normal. Record each transact

There's a time and place for visuals. Geometry is a form of visual math, but how do you "visualize" models that go beyond the 3rd dimension...? For most people, trigonometry is enough to build stuff with. And for many ideas,

The article makes good points about how stories are the best way to hold people's attention. The beginning advice about not explaining the history is a little unclear. I think it would be better to say "stick to a central topic an

Bitcoin is a 1.0, a beta version that caught on. Anybody who knows better wouldn't use Bitcoin as money, that's true. They've moved on to Monero.

It can't be much worse than relatives claiming you as dead so they can have your house, and then every government system denies you any service because you're "dead"

It's inertia. Why would an "account" be any different from a "wallet?" Or an "secret key" from "routing number?" And yeah the UX is not quite there yet. It gets better depending on the project. C

You don't invest your life savings, just enough to where you can let it sit. Convert small increments to fiat when it's high, or purchase using crypto directly.
