I could get on board with the rest of your list, but this struck me as odd to include. Can you elaborate how it fits into that list?

Any idea how you get known good samples for new drives (without buying a bunch of new drives)?

Sounds like that was potentially a good way to weed out a terrible place to work.

I guess I would say the high level functions of public key cryptography aren't that hard to grasp. Things like "hey either one of these keys can encrypt something the other one can decrypt and vise versa" is pretty straightforward. I don't think we have to teach the math involved if that's what you're implying.

Protecting the secrets words for a crypto wallet is pretty much the same thing as protecting the strong password for a password manager. If you lose that, then you're out of luck, and those are very popular.

You could also delegate trust in several places in the chain to trusted third parties if you feel the need, that could re-enable access, or shift assets into a new wallet.

Can you give me a better definition of "personal" vs "private", because I'm seeing all sorts of problems there.

Odd. I would only assume people kept possessions they made (tools, weapons, trinkets, etc.) prior to any formal states existing (or pooled them voluntarily). But, then, you get into _de facto_ states and what that potentially means.

Private property requires that a private individual stake a claim to it. Private property is mutually exclusive of a state. The state [typically] is the primary violator of private property by enforcement of some shared mode.

Another frustration with the RPi cluster is the arm requirement. If you're only building/running your own stuff, that's fine, but finding containers and helm charts that support arm can be frustratingly difficult.

This is speaking from experience. I love my k3s RPi cluster, it's fantastic once you get things working. I just had to augment with some x86 nodes in order to _also_ run some software that just wouldn't run anywhere else.

"The Whole Brain Child" is an excellent primer on how children's brains work and behaviors are exhibited, and from researchers in this area. I'm now listening to the follow-up "No-Drama Discipline", and hoping it will provide even more practical advice in this area.

"How to Talk So Your Kids Will Listen, and How to Listen So Your Kids Will Talk" is also good.

"Parenting From The Inside Out" is a gut punch about getting your own psychological problems addressed first.

I'll also say that prioritizing sleep (as best as you can), proper diet, exercise, and healthy boundaries between work/home are sometimes so much more important than any book you could be reading.

Can you explain more in terms of the planet side of things? I get that you think the wealth can be generated, but I think the comment you are responding to is referring to how can the planet support that level of consumption?

I am legitimately curious how a government entity can get a patent. Shouldn't anything funded with tax dollars automatically get put into the public domain?

I'd rather you write the code. Keep up the good work.

Hopefully these changes will allow you more time to focus on adding value to the vast majority of users. If a small subset of folks need the marginal functionality, it should be up to them to step up to the plate and make it happen.

One of my hobbies is birding: specifically going out and trying to count all the birds I can find down to a species level. This requires a good ear to do well. Many times I find myself closing my eyes and pausing all bodily motion to really listen intently for the low chips of a sparrow, or distant drumming of a woodpecker.

It's the government's requirements for filing 10-Ks and 10-Qs that generate this type of behavior. Plenty of examples out there where capital-raising efforts, and therefore investment decisions are stymied by markets that are driven by quarterly government reporting.

Some companies have been able to fight it off and really put long-term profitability into place (Apple seems like a reasonable example of this), but it is the exception, not the rule, and many times does not last long.
