Sounds like you’re doing great and picking up a lot from your little one already. Congratulations to you all. It’s extremely rewarding.

I once found a pad of tear off $2 on the ground of the departures drop off at O’hare airport. I thought it was a novelty initially but after closer inspection found the bills to be real. It’s been a 20 year mystery to me how that came to be since I’ve never seen anything like it since. Now I’m wondering if I found Woz’s pad.

That would be quite interesting because when I was very young I crank called him after finding his number online. He collects phone numbers with repeating digits and mine has 6 repeated numbers. I guess he found my number peculiar and picked up! In my young and starstruck state I panicked and hung up. How coincidental to have potentially two obscure path crossings with the Woz.

Chances seem small that it was his, but chances also seem small of another quirky guy making tear-off $2 pads.

6 repeating digits is quite impressive: maybe you could call again and ask if he was in Chicago around a certain date.

Make your own with padding cement. Put the stack of bills in a vice and coat one edge a few times with the cement. I did this for a nephew as a unique gift. Some people being paid with these are suspicious.

Nowhere near as suspicious as the tire shop in east LA late at night on Sunday when I needed a flat patched, and I only had credit cards on me - and a uncut roll of $2s in the trunk.

I pulled that out to cut some off and pay and they all started screaming about feds and told me to get the hell out of there, no need to pay.

Indeed, the same mechanism is used by Bloomberg for gift links. A signed JWT with expiry 7 days from creation. A fitting use case in my opinion.

I guess it's from newsletter's "share" link or something. This article itself isn't paywalled. https://stratechery.com/2024/the-great-flattening/

Can we update the URL then? OP probably did that to get around that it was a dupe, already submitted. :/

As opposed to Real Investments which are not made to try and make a profit?

It's not the profit bit; it's the crypto bit.

Math is inherently fraudulent, you see.

Please add real content someone can respond to, instead of half-implications. What are you actually saying?

Explain that to the tornado cash guys

Tornado Cash guys had poor opsec. Pretty obvious that if you are dumb enough the feds will get you.

If code is free speech it wouldn’t matter whether they had good OpSec or not is what I’m saying

It's free speech until it isn't, the feds went after it because it was used for money laundering. With money laundering issues in particular, this free speech thing gets tossed out of the window.

Tornado's creators should've seen this coming. Thinking that "free speech" would stand in the way of IRS getting mad and shutting it down is delusional.

I love the sound effects

Thank you, means a lot that you took a look.

These were hand selected with a focus group consisting of a 4 year old and 6 year old, so pretty demanding UAT on that front

This is the right answer. He’s immediately closing the browser after clicking the button. He should wait for a success UI or at least that the resulting network call finishes with success or a failure to retry on. Not lambdas fault, it’s performing as coded.

Similar message, among many other valuable bits, in the book The Courage to be Disliked. Very good read, no fluff like a lot of psychology books. The title is misleading, there’s a strong element of being helpful to others rather than being disliked. I’d recommend it to anyone.

I've read this book and many others like it. I completely agree with your assessment. I felt really good when I read this book and others. But afterwards I go back to feeling bad about myself as always

Finance language for million. Mil Mil aka thousand thousand. Mil is Latin for thousand hence why CPM is cost per thousand, not cost per million impressions.

Heh, too bad finance doesn't use SI units. Instead of billionaires we'd have gigadollarbros.

The increased distance something must be from a larger car for it to be visible also contributes to accidents.
