Was just listening to this playlist on my flight home and it was fantastic. When you want to be uplifted, give it a listen. Something a little different and wonderful.

Neat new concurrency package for Go called conc. Syntax is quite clean and simple to use.

If you use a Linux box, don't forget to set the TZ environment variable. Save yourself thousands of system calls.
Just update /etc/environment with TZ=:/etc/localtime

Here is the full text of the Fair Tax Act. It is quite long, and there are definitely some very scary inclusions.
I really hope people do their homework on this one.
Just because people don't like the IRS, doesn't mean this is good legislation.

For those curious what the consumption tax rate would be.
"In the calendar year 2023, the rate of tax is 23 percent of the gross payments for the taxable property or service."
For years after 2023, it doesn't give an exact percentage.

The actual bill for abolishing the IRS has not been posted. When it does, it should be available at congress.gov/bill/118th-con.
The previous version of the bill is available to read at congress.gov/bill/117th-con
Don't trust the media, read the bill. The media coverage is terrible.

The parties in Tamarindo are pretty damn epic. Last night was filled with dancing and high vibes. This was at the Ocaso festival. The light show and music was top notch.

Can anyone help out? This would be a great resource for the community. any ideas where to get the list of root servers for each TLD?
Quote Tweet
Please help: I've been going in circles re DNS.
I'm trying to find a list of which TLDs are maintained by which root name servers.
Eg .net is maintained by the A & J root name servers. Is there a list that tells me ALL the TLDs maintained by the J root name server for example?

Every single AI improved PFP you generate feeds additional data to AI models. This will be used to generate deep fakes and bots on a scale we have never seen before.
Just know when this happens you were part of the training data set, and you did this voluntarily.

Walking through the jungles of Costa Rica near Arenal Volcano is an awe inspiring experience. The lands here are so lush and beautiful. This will be one of many trips to the region. I feel so much freedom and natural beauty.

Happy new year!
Here I am in Costa Rica feeling super fortunate to have love and friendship all around me. As dark as things seem sometimes, the light is ever present, and life is full of infinite possibilities.

If you are interested in economics, I highly recommend reading Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt. This short read is absolutely worth your time, and can help you understand many of the economic fallacies rampant in the world today.

I still want a list of Epstein's clients. The world deserves to know exactly who was involved. Why is the media and government protecting these people...
Maybe this lawsuit will give us some details.

While you were distracted with Andrew Tate, a lawsuit against JPMorgan was unfolding for their involvement with Epstein.

I am a huge fan of the team. Having machines that are high quality, and easy to repair/extend is the way forward for the tech industry. This reduces waste and gives customers a better experience.

If you’re wondering who to blame for the right to repair bill in NY getting watered down, you can start with the members of TechNet, one of the main lobby groups in opposition to repair: technet.org/our-story/memb

Be careful with scammers out there folks! Remember your friends won't message you out of the blue asking for crypto, gift cards, or money.
We need better message signing solutions. There are just too many humans who have lost their way and continue to take advantage of others.

All private messages should be encrypted by default.
How many holiday messages were monitored by your favorite services?
How many are selling your data?
How many have built a social graph about you for profit?
It is time for better tools.

After extensive research, I've concluded that for Santa to deliver presents to the billions of homes that celebrate Christmas, and to do so in one continuous night across 24 time zones, he & his reindeer must open wormholes through the fabric of spacetime between each delivery.

The system is so obviously corrupt. SBF literally paid nothing and is walking around free. Absolutely insane, but oddly not unexpected. He already paid people off to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Quote Tweet
Here are the ridiculously easy conditions of SBF’s bond.
The media reports of $250 million are fake. He had to put up $0.00 and is probably at home playing video games right now.

The latest update from does not make me feel any better about their servers getting compromised. The attacker got access to tons of metadata, and will no doubt have enough to launch successful phishing campaigns against millions of users...

People have been linking to alternate profiles on Twitter for years. Most other networks are complimentary or ghost towns. Not sure exactly what this new policy accomplishes other than upsetting users.

Goban is one of my favorite games. Every time I play, it reminds me of Sun Tzu - The Art of War. The depth of such a simple ruleset still impresses me after decades of playing. Not to mention the hand crafted Go boards are absolutely beautiful!
