Don't ask "what do you do?" at crypto parties

IMO also avoid "what's your story?"

Instead ask:
— are enshrined settlement layers an immutable impediment to social consensus?
— does upgradeability of a rollup via governance with a delay constitute a trust-minimized bridge?

preventing upgradability or different standards for what constitutes a valid transaction (if it’s oligarchs paying to kill their enemies, is it valid or should we be able to refute it?)

10 habits that will 10x your productivity in under 10 minutes:

🧵

— Hassan W. Bhatti (@hwbhatti) August 4, 2022

3. Shorten your to do lists otherwise you will end up doing nothing.

A list with 20+ tasks on them rarely get finished and leaves you feeling not much was accomplished.

Cut out as much of the fluff as possible and focus your time on things that move your forward fastest.

— Hassan W. Bhatti (@hwbhatti) August 4, 2022

5. Have a similar schedule every day.

Most successful people have repetitive schedules.

Writers write at the same time and place every day.

Coders often do the same.

Design your perfect day, then execute it almost every day.

— Hassan W. Bhatti (@hwbhatti) August 4, 2022

6. Eat the frog.

This term refers to doing your most painful and important tasks early in the day.

Doing so makes you work when your mind is freshest and makes it so you’re not anxious throughout the day from dreading doing your most crucial tasks.

— Hassan W. Bhatti (@hwbhatti) August 4, 2022

Summary:

- Make long-term goals
- Make lists of short-term tasks
- Shorten your daily to-do list
- Manage distractions
- Have a similar schedule every day
- Eat the frog
- Exercise and eat healthy
- Take breaks
- Follow the 80/20 principle
- Reflect at least once a week

An Optimistic Scenario

Google Going High End

Image via CrunchBase

That used to be Apple's territory. Past tense.



The Chromebook Pixel, for what’s next

1500 dollars for a laptop.

I think this is a hint at at the X phone. There is going to be a wow factor to it. It is going to bend, for one.

Why Google Made Its Own High-End Laptop, the Chromebook Pixel

the Chromebook Pixel, a laptop that it designed and built itself ..... Unlike prior Chromebooks, whose main draw was their value, this one is built to compete with the top end of the market...... The three biggest appeals of the Pixel will likely be its touchscreen and high-density display, its elegant design, and the fact that it’s a Web-based device. .... The focus on detail and design is unheard of for a Google product. Where the company had tiptoed into hardware before, it’s striding in wholeheartedly now. .... The smooth device’s hinge gives “the feeling of a luxury car door opening and closing” .... The touchpad is made of glass, and has been tuned with a laser to have a maximally grippy surface. There are three microphones, with an additional one set below the keyboard so typing noises can be canceled out. ..... “tuning the force function of the mechanical keys to be more responsive.” ...... the Pixel is similar to Google’s Nexus device line ..... Google isn’t even naming the Taiwan-based OEM it is working with for the Pixel. ..... this is very much a first-generation device. Some of the Pixel’s hardware capabilities — like the third microphone, and gestures on the touchscreen — aren’t even supported by Google’s own services yet. .... The Pixel brings Google back to the perpetual question of why Google is building two operating systems, Chrome and Android, that are converging on each other. ..... once you build a touchscreen laptop, the lines blur

This is Google beating everyone on hardware. That also used to be Apple territory. Past tense.

Great design, used to be Apple territory.

But this still is not the hardware for NUI, the fast impending Natural User Interface, the next big paradigm shift after touch.

Two Chief Guests: Non Resident Nepali Gathering: Times Square: June 25

I was just texting back and forth like crazy with John's staffer Crystal. I got her two voice mails 10 hours late this past hour. And now we have confirmed, future Mayor John Liu is also coming. The Nepalis are excited out of their minds. They don't know what hit them. What hit them is the Midnight Taiwan Express.

We already had Bill Perkins. That got confirmed when I dropped by Bill's office Monday morning.
